One needs to be careful about overstating the case. The adjective “terrorist” smeared, but it also condescended by making “terror” writers the object of a risible pun. The smear worked, not because writers of “hobgoblin romance” were dangerous, but because they palpably were not. 求问这想表达一个什么观点? 感激Ing!
