#angry comments

Throwback to that time someone commented on a piece of work i’d written (fanfiction) and it was basically them telling me:

- my pacing could make the icexaps freeze back over

- and that if I wasn’t a “good” or “skilled” or “proper” (I think that was the actual word?? Idk I deleted the comment because I didn’t want anyone even interacting with this dunce) writer than I shouldn’t be writing at all, much less putting it on the internet.

If by “proper” you mean “have a published novel” or “have a degree in writing” I am already on my way (and already well indebted to the AUS government) to getting a degree in creative writing (editing, analysis, the whole shebang), so, there you go I guess.

- you want a “proper writer”? Employ me??? Because otherwise I do this in my free time, and my personal/professional life will be my priority, because writing/fandom is something that brings me joy an enriches me, not something I do for other people.

- my story was weird and unoriginal

Like??? Hello?? Who do you think you are, The Writing God? The Overlord of Creative Writing? Sorry mate, you’re not, you’re just a gatekeeper with serious superiority issues. And clearly lacking in the skills needed to give contructive criticism in a work instead of useless insults (not even written well lmao).

- The comment also said I should “stick with a theme” and decide “whether I want to make people laugh or cry.”

That’s — who’s gonna tell them that’s not how storytelling works? I wasn’t being pseudo-intellectual by suddenly changing the whole theme of my story, I was just adding in some humour to add depth to the characters and make the characters seem more fleshed-out. Calm yourself.

I don’t know what this person wanted to achieve (maybe just to bully me because it’s “fun” or whatever) but this and comments like it are utterly pointless, downright meanspirited and are so harmful to the creative community.

Constructive criticism (that is, commentary that is actually useful and insightful to the author(s) which may help them improve/refine their work(s) in meaningful ways), is not always welcome, as more than a few creators just wanna write/put their self-indulgent content out there and don’t really want any interaction outside of that.

If there’s a formatting problem or a translation problem, or i’ve written something offensive, or you’re confused by my meaning, please let me know and I will change it, but don’t rock up to my comment section and talk about how “[redacted because they used a slur] you think me and my story are because it deviates from the source material and it’s therefore dumb.

Obvious, they are trying to hide a surrogate birth but the more they try to hide it the more obvious it becomes. They never had a viable plan to handle their scam and so now they just clumsily keep on doing things that make it blatantly obvious they used a surrogate.

They will hide the birth certificate because they could not provide convincing documents of a birth location that would not make it…

Angry Italians Call Out Offensive Attempts At Their Cuisine

Many food publications have come under fire recently for either completely bastardizing a culture’s cuisine, or neglecting to correctly credit a dish’s influence. While we’ve enjoyed all the drama surrounding Bon Appetit’s various failings, the latest culprit of food crimes is none other than The New York Times.  The publication stoked the ire of readers back in 2018 when they referred to…
