@realJSeymour@SleepToDystopia@nealasher I don't think people who say that mean "Enjoy the art without interpreting anything personal that the artist has put into the work". Maybe some do, but that's dumb. For me, just means "I can appreciate the art without the artist's lame Twitter feed living rent-free in my head".
@nealasher If you wanna have an actual talk about where you stand as the artist:
I've seen a lot of LGBTQ+ people associate sci-fi transhumanism pretty heavily with transgenderism. I'm assuming you're not a huge fan of the comparison? Can you say where the equivalencies fall apart, to you?
@nealasher I enjoy your writing but don't know you personally; it would be stupid to assume you allign perfectly with my moral beliefs for no reason. I just find the "haha woke, pls like" portion of your feed really dumb. Maybe I'm actually just disappointed in algorithms.
@nealasher Is that... really it, man? I find it mildly irritating that most men assume strangers online are men, so everyone come point and laugh at me? I guess that is basically what X has kinda devolved into.
TBF I was tired and didn't really give you much to work with.
@SleepToDystopia@nealasher I didn't mention a thing about judgement or forgiveness. Neal can obviously be whoever the fuck he wants to be. I was just browsing his feed and was gonna unfollow without saying anything, but saw a post of him mocking some rando for the exact same thing, so replied to that.
Hey @nealasher, I'm a big fan. I'm close owning all of your novels now. Do you think if you have the time, you could let me know where the novellas in 'The Gabble: And Other Stories' and 'Runciple Tales' land on the Polity timeline? I'm trying to read everything chronologically.
@joannasternberg I don't think there's any correlation between being jacked/ripped and Jack the Ripper. They certainly didn't exist as terms for that back then.
@LadyFoxglove13 You don't need to do that! With the GBA ones, the games are practically the same. You can load your current Fire Red save while using the Leaf Green rom. Just rename the save file so that the program thinks it's from LG. It just works.
