* When he read and reviewed the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' books in 2020, he fully admitted he'd been "an asshole" about the books and its fandom in the past, without actually reading them. As such, he's genuinely determined to give the books a fair shake. While he still doesn't ''like'' them, he repeatedly states that Creator/StephenieMeyer doesn't seem like a bad person, and she, the series, and its fans got ''way'' too much shit. He also says that he does understand why people liked the books, even if he personally does not.

Not just the love between a man and a woman, but the love between three men who remain close friends even after they all fall for the same woman; The love of a teacher for a student that has become like a son to him; And the love for those they lost that kept the heroes fighting even after they're gone.

Rowling in any way, and as such, is completely removing himself from any ''Literature/HarryPotter'' material moving forward, and reworking Terrence to be [[spoiler: transplanted into the Literature/PercyJackson series]], allowing him to continue to use the character without his connections to Harry Potter. Given his previous love for the series, it speaks to the depths of his beliefs, and love for all of his watchers, that he did not hesitate to extricate himself from the series as much as possible.

* His "review" of the ''Literature/TheEyeOfArgon'', where he deconstructs the book's infamous reputation by pointing out that Jim Theis was a 16-year-old boy who was more or less tricked into publishing it, had the book stolen from him, and was then bullied for decades for [[DisproportionateRetribution writing a cringy novel as a teenager]]. Dom makes his disgust at those who used him rather clear and while he doesn't condemn anyone who participated in it (as not many people know the story behind the book), he also refuses to bash the book or any like it.
