@VirusZeke Also worth thinking about: in situations that are very real and proaganda based, you want your enemy visible. Shunning bigotry into silence only works for so long and even though it's harmful to see, you want it out in the open instead of insidiously sneaking into everything

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@sohuebsch And if you don't care about being likable and only want to be right and add legitimacy to a conversation, that's fine.

But you have to understand that's not how people function or accept criticism. Part of helping is having tact and emotional intelligence.

"People don't want critique"

We live in a capitalist hellscape that sees the policing of everything, even hobbies, as something that could be done better for productivity and the appreciation of a larger audience and people are tired of being told to be better while having fun.

ao3 authors are a bunch of punks man. 💀these people don’t wanna proofread don’t want writing advice or general commentary or critique and i’m supposed to believe they simultaneously want fanfic to be taken as seriously as literature somehow…hilarious

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@sohuebsch The issue here is that it's not that serious. AO3 is not an academic setting, it's a fandom community.

Criticism (while still valid in a scholarly sense) can lose value when it's socially innapropriate to present it.

Legitimate ≠ Likable
Valid ≠ Valuable

@sohuebsch Engagement is fine, but in the same way someone might say "you posted this publicly, I can say this is bad and I don't like it", authors can also reasonably respond to that engagement by saying "I don't value your opinion and I don't need to appease you, read something else"

My toxic trait is being faced with book Lestat and immediately defaulting to seeing him as Gilbert Cocteau if things had gone slightly different because I like One Kind Of Guy apparently

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

I told my partner they were probably going to change character names and we were going to end up with something like Ryan for Ryuji and this woman turns to me and says "oh no... Ace Gordon"

ACE GORDON.

@noeyedeer45 Most of the time I think that's fine. When someone points out their favorite bit of prose or gushes about the structure in a particular chapter it motivates the author and builds them up without the need for direct criticism.

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@NikotheHen Exactly! Offering critique without someone explicitly stating they're looking for concrit is tacky and self-absorbed.

Sometimes I'm not writing to achieve validation for a personal best. Sometimes I'm writing fast food for hungry little freaks who can catch a vibe

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

I swear some of you think you're on an overstuffed couch talking late into the night with your equally insufferable peers about the value of grammar and education but you're actually just bothering hobbyists on a phone mommy pays for in some pseudo-intellectual circlejerk

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@Lyonfaced @unhinged_goblin @enbyriku But is it unreasonable for someone to not want that?

Whether the critique is valid and professional or completely unqualified and nagging it's going to be unwelcome because no one asked to begin with. Not seeking constant improvement isn't a moral failing.

@tropotropotropo I'm taking psychic damage

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@writingaschi My dentist thought I was a teen when I first became a patient and asked about my mom in the waiting room. My "mom" was my partner who I'm older than.

That same partner was mistaken for a teen a few months later.

As two people over 30, should we not be allowed to date? Lol

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@SageGarnish Someone rec'd a fic once that they were crazy about and it spent a chapter and a half negotiating the terms of a bdsm relationship (as childhood friends to lovers) like they were workaholics organizing a coffee date.

I thought I was going to put my head through a wall

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@tropotropotropo I don't go here and know virtually nothing but jax is the only character I can identify because people never stfu about her and buy plushies and love her and have since the beginning. That's everyone's bitch daughter/wife from what I understand.

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@SageGarnish I don't understand how horniness isn't treated the same as other emotions. If I'm happy, I listen to something upbeat. If I'm sad I listen to something sad. If I'm horny I find something for that and enjoy the butterflies while I do dishes and make lunch.

It's really nbd

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@tropotropotropo I'm so nosey I was under the impression they were a teenager, not a full grown adult married to someone VERY obviously into shotacon

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@SageGarnish I just finished Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte!

I was worried it would be too smug with the subject matter but it was perfect. I had to pause a few times to laugh and gather myself because it really aims to make you cringe, but it's excellent as a time capsule for right now

[✨️Honey✨️ @gomigoromi]

@SageGarnish It's the same with an idol in a kpop group I see a lot (Chaewon, Triple S), even down to her saying it's the healthiest she's ever been. It's so weird when people say it's ideal or goal-worthy

Like girl! She is sick and either lying or hiding a serious health issue!
