Romanticists: You can't just apply material analysis to something as sacred as love!

Materialists: observe.

In my new fanfiction I actually explore this in a bit of depth when a mentat character observes another's affection for her as a series of chemical signals and obsolete, vestigial reflexes from ancient evolution. It's kind of sad to think about, but I could easily apply the same thing to sadness...

i gotta give you points for rewording the meme to be more concise and using terms that are more respectable academically.

my only concerns is that it could be interpreted that the materialists are justified in reducing the entire aspect of love to material analysis purely by people on the fence

You caught me being sneaky. Yeah, I'm a marxist redpiller as part of my militant materialism but I don't have the bandwidth to prosecute struggle sessions on it yet

you might enjoy this video from a marxist on his attempt to answer what makes a man desirable. https://youtu.be/P7Lzh0XlzIA
