Scry? Really?

And using ableism to hide your pathetic inability to look up a word in a dictionary? Online or physical.

Allmighty fuckstick with extra swirly semen. Come the fuck on.

I drop random big words in my fic for fun because I love teaching people interesting words. So maybe I'm also just a bit petty because I already have been torturing my readers with all these evil big words! Mumpsimus! Effluvious! Laconic!!! But this has to be one of the most obvious cases of weaponized incompetence. If your ass is able to make a tiktok/reel just to cry and bitch about the word "SCRY" being too difficult, then you can spend 10 seconds looking up the word, and not embarrassing yourself by claiming "ableism."

The part I find funniest is that it isn't always.

If I'm reading an archeology paper on Ancient Greece, I'm going to assume it's far closer to those other words.

It is in this case because we're dealing with genre bullshit for an audience of genre fans. It is inherently a thing that requires insider knowledge and that's a good thing.

Asking to get rid of a word like this is like asking for all allusions or genre conventions or foreshadowing or cultural fucking context to disappear. If you'd need to have ever experienced a thing outside of this specific piece of writing, it's excluuuuding people. Waaaah.

It's the same energy as weebs who find anime too Japanese.

you can not remove the transphobia (and especially not only the transmisogyny) from radical feminism and expect it to be clear of bigotries. that is because transphobia is only one manifestation of the root issue.

the deep, underlying problem inherent to radical feminism is the intense demonization of men, to the point that it even comes around to demonizing anyone with any (real or perceived) connection to men or masculinity as a whole.

radical feminism is a vast ideology, not all radfems hold the exact same beliefs, and thus this demonization of men manifests in various ways: transphobia (sometimes more focused on trans women, sometimes more focused on trans men, but usually transphobic all around regardless of what they claim), biphobia, homophobia, racism, intersexism, exorsexism, aphobia, polyamphobia, butchphobia, ableism, fatphobia, hatred towards kink and sex work- i could go on.

For the moment, yes, she's okay with trans women. How is she with trans men? No clue. She's interestingly enough never said anything about that.

Except this main character is a speed runner.

World record holding speed runner.

Elf-woman in the introductory episode shares the long, sad history of her realm at odds with the Demon Lord and his reign. She looks up just as she's about to describe the moment the Demon Lord killed her husband, and main character is... gone.

Several many fields away.

Naked as the day god made him because equipping the intro clothes takes 3 seconds between menu opening and character re-rendering.

The Wall of the Unfathomable, which has sealed these villagers within their own walls for generations unknown, sees its first breach in a millennium as Main Character scales it ass-backwards clipping and ragdolling up its scaffolding by abusing the collision detection logic and its impact on speed reversal.

NPCs launch into speeches which bewilder and confuse even them because they should NOT be saying anything about the deep sacred mana that can defeat the Dark Demon Lord but the fucker standing in front of him in tighty-whiteys with a level 99 helmet and the Hero Sceptor (which he should NOT have yet but) is compelling the NPC for reasons they cannot begin to comprehend.

There are already TWO stories like that!

A slightly serious one, where the MC uses his knowledge as shortcuts called:

Hell Mode: Yarikomi Suki No Gamer Wa Hai Settei No Isekai De Musou Suru (Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting)

And one insane comedy, where the MC indeed kills the Demon Lord in under an hour (with a stick and practically butt naked) and has then live with the consequences of breaking the natural laws of the isekai world called

Rta Sousha Wa Game Sekai Kara Kaerenai (Speedrunner Cannot Return from the Game World)

to speedrun a game you have to play it a zillion times and take careful notes and work out the optimal route

isekai speedrunner kid isn't going to know that already, eh?

I see a time loop story. Open on MC having just defeated the Demon Lord and being rewarded only with a % completion and time elapsed per chapter report, and John de Lancie telling him that he didn't win fast enough and he's got to do it all over again, look, the record is only (something like a quarter of MC's time)

I mean, it depends on the isekai in question? A not insignificant number of isekia stories have the main characters reincarnated into their favorite video game (usually) or anime/manga or light novel series. It's totally plausible that this is the case for either or both of these series. (I haven't gotten into either of them myself (yet), but I know that an official translation, including audiobooks, is available for Hell Mode.)
