Why is there so much anti-intellectualism and appeals to romantic sentiments and glorification of emotion in many popular works of fiction?

What about the anti-intellectualism and appeals to romantic sentiments?

*looks up Romanticism*

I presume it's because we don't like to think about how little agency we have in the world as a whole and focus more on the agency we have within our tiny part of it?

How is romanticism anti-intellectualism?

Personally, it looks more like appeals to emotion and romanticism=anti-intellectualism.

Eh, that's just my POV.

I'm just here for the sodas and chips. Maybe some drinks while at it.
