Ok when I write reviews, I don't differentiate between mafia types. Like Italian, Russian, Mexican, Irish, etc. I just say mob/mafia to encompass all.
Is that something to matters to you? Stating the correct mafia gang??

Doesn't really matter to me. I just tag it as mafia

It only matters to me if they’re from different countries in said story.
Otherwise i simply tag it as mafia as well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's indifferent to it.

Mafia is mafia,what else can you say about it….right?

That's the way I think. Some people are super sensitive about it though. If you say mafia instead of bratva when the characters are Russian, then people get mad. Don't ask me to explain it! LOL

Exactly. Even if you have more than one type Mafia in the book your reading warring against each other or working together, it's still just another Mafia story.

Then they need to deal with their Anger Issues! 🤣🤣

The only reason you state where they’re from,is when there’s more than one. To avoid confusion. But they’re still all simply mafia….

I don't even know the difference between them lol. Mafia is Mafia, no need to be specific imo.

LOL

I’m going to be the dork who says she likes differentiating between them. It makes me sound so cool and worldly, as if I had a fidanzato in Sicily before I met my novio in Colombia 🤓 Also I can justify reading romance novels all day by citing the fact that they’re so educational 🤌

LOL I definitely feel like I'm prepared for Mafia life based on all my books!! I'm also confident I can hide a body, should the need arise. 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think it matters.

again - thumbs up!! and also insert a smiley face!

I used to know what Mafia meant! It starts out Mothers and Fathers Against...........? Of course that original thought sure changed. Does anyone recall what that was? Of course I ignore most of it anyway.
When I think of the Mafia I think of The Godfather.

Makes no difference to me. I've got my priorities in order... I'm just here for the hot mafia hunks. 🔥🥵🤣

google says:

Etymology. The word Mafia (English: /ˈmɑːfiə/; Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means 'swagger', but can also be translated as 'boldness' or 'bravado'.

Same

I don't care as long as it's a good plot and it feels like mafia. For me the author has to make it "real" mafia. I want dark, twisted, violence with possessive, obsessive, hot as heck MMC who loves the FMC without limits.

I concur!

Nope, don't care a bit. Just here for the sexy alpha males.

I need to get out of my sports romance era and check out the mobsters!

The only time I differentiate is if it’s an audiobook so you know what sexy accent to expect! 😂

Mobsters can be so delicious!

Yes!! Love my reads with Russian accents. When you catch a good one, they can be really deep. I just finished a series with PERFECT narration. Nom nom nom.
