No, this is not about the 19th century artistic movement, but about how fiction deals with love. And just like Rule of Cool, Rule of Drama, Rule of Funny, and Rule of Scary, if something is considered romantic enough by the audience, it can be excused, not matter how unrealistic it is. This is entertainment, after all. Compare Rule of Drama, Rule of Glamorous, Rule of Sexy. Sub Tropes include:

This is entertainment, after all. Now Values Dissonance can come into play far more often than the other "Rule" tropes, which is not only across national lines, but across gender. Now guys deny it, but they do have a notion of romantic. It's just that not only is it extremely different than what's in a typical Romantic Comedy or Romance Novel, they also tend to be more private about it, at least in American culture. This trope doesn't actually apply with Shipping Wars. Those people usually just care about making their couples look good. You can tell because they often praise an unrealistic point if it supports a couple they favor, and slam that exact same point if it supports a couple they don't. Compare Rule of Drama, Rule of Glamorous, Rule of Sexy. Sub Tropes include: * Abduction Is Love * Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other * Beast and Beauty * But Your Wings Are Beautiful * Grand Romantic Gesture * Happily Ever After * Held Gaze * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy * Last-Minute Hookup * Literally Falling in Love * Love Transcends Spacetime * The Power of Love * Runaway Bride * Runaway Fiance * Train Station Goodbye * Twirl of Love * Unresolved Sexual Tension * You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?
