"masculine role models" lol

the craziest thing about sotr is the notion that actually haymitch was really dumb but capitol propoganda made him look competent! snarky witty intelligent haymitch from the main trilogy actually was just bumbling around moping about his girlfriend but capitol propoganda and trauma made him into an interesting character! isn't it so evil?

I think the impulse to identify burial customs you’re unfamiliar with as “cursed” is sort of a racist impulse even when it’s applied to Western European cultures that are too far back in the past to be recognizable. Is there really any human culture that is SO alien to us that we have to explain their behavior with Curses and Ancient Evils? Or do people have shifting cultural norms about the handling of human remains, which may lead a tomb to be a site of reverence for generations and later be sealed? Are human bones INHERENTLY CREEPY? Human bones in a grave? A grave is like the number one most statistically likely place to find human bones!

if you think about it making your readers picture stuff in their heads is lk noncon and problematic

okay but this is Vladimir Nabokov's whole schtick, he'll say some shit about the reflections or the bedsheets and you'll go "Oh you greasy fucker you just made me imagine what must be going on to cause that to happen" and he'll rub his hands and go "He he he he, bring meee more butterflieeeeees"

He’s so shy he died

We could’ve had something beautiful together but everbody leaves me

you get a comment on tumblr. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a DM. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a message on instagram. its a bot trying to scam you. you're an author and you get an email telling you how much they loved your book and want to showcase it at their bookclub. it's a bot trying to scam you (and it uses bad AI to pretend it knows your story). you get a comment on ao3 saying how much they love your fic - and they made you fanart!! it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a hate comment on ao3 which insults your writing or calls you a monster for writing something "problematic". it's a bot. but at least that one isn't trying to scam you.

okay come forward which of you reposted this to reddit lmao I SEE YOU

Okay everybody go leave a comment on the fics you're reading, find your favorite author's social media and tell them you liked their book, and comment on your favorite artist's YouTube or Bandcamp page, go go gooooo.

BRB, starting discourse about how writing fiction in which the necessary preconditions for problematic tropes are present is just as problematic as writing about the tropes themselves. You've got a couple of OCs who are blood relatives? You sick fuck.

There are genuinely people on this very site who will tell you with their full chest that it's problematic for adult authors to write stories whose protagonists are minors, regardless of content or context. I don't need to go knocking – the Devil is already here.
