Maybe I dreamed that up but did you have a post about Tsukasa being repulsed by romantic plays? Or something like that? I swear I've seen mention on that somewhere but i don't remember where...

repulsed isn't the right word but he has a habit of writing unnecessary amounts of violence into romantic plays.

in kamikou festival, his adaption of R&J involves a bunch of romeos engaging in a violent battle over juliet, and generally puts much more of a focus on the violence and action than the romance. he does it again in Emu's wedding card story where he suggests killing every character that gets in the way of the wedding in Emu's play.

also in kaito's mermaid card story he writes out the romance part of little mermaid, however the reason given for this change in the main Mesmerised by Mermaids story is that wxs' version of The Little Mermaid is simply a homage due to the original tale being too tragic for their audience of young children (also there's a certain out-of-universe reason why wxs never does romance plays).

tsukasa likes violence.

There were, indeed, some observers who thought that Henry was sick and tired of Anne by early 1536, and had determined to abandon her. Chief among those reporting this was the ever-hopeful Chapuys. It is hard not to read wish-fulfilment into the evidence of one who referred to Anne as 'the concubine' or 'the she-devil', and who had made similar bitter assertions about the doomed state of Henry and Anne's relationship at the height of their happiness, in August and September 1533. Chapuys himself recognized that Henry and Anne had always been prone to 'lovers' quarrels', and that the king's character was very 'changeable'. Henry and Anne were direct with each other, got angry, shouted, sulked, got jealous—but they were also described as being 'merry' together, including throughout the autumn of 1535—and this epithet seems to be appended to their marriage more often than to any of Henry's other marriages.

Bishops of the Church of England have refused to allow same-sex marriage. That story again - church invented to let a King get divorced continues to heroically uphold the sanctity of marriage.
