@timmckay52 Your story is going to push some readers away and draw others in. Any word you use in your blurb will do the same.
The question is, does the word vigilante fit the character? Does it give a proper look into the story?
@timmckay52 Also, some of my characters don't like to swear or come from cultures where their swears would be different. In one case a foul mouthed character uses "Dust and Ashes" or "Breach" all the time, much to the shock and horror of those around him. These are truly foul in his culture
@timmckay52 1) I agree with you about ridiculing silly comments without calling out the names, for mostly the reasons you give.
2) My response to the commenter is that I write for young people and their parents (the ones who pay for the books) don't like it when I use real swears.
@BigRedCeltTT @HotRockCapital Corollary: when you defund the schools to over-fund the police you end up with a poorly trained, low IQ police force.
I vote we defund the police and fund the schools and social safety nets
@AuthorMilliGib Yes I'm saying you're weird, and if you're anything to measure by, they're never going to outgrow the silly games.
Remember, I know how you write.
@ElaraNorthwind Every cat is different, but the key is to get their consent first. I had a cat, Dawn, who loved it when I rubbed her belly, but would bite my husband. Meanwhile our other cat, Sinbad, would seek belly rubs from Hubby while refusing mine.
@timmckay52 My best villains are motivated by the desire to make the world better through order. They attempt to force the world to conform to their ideals, and in their heart of hearts, they believe they are the good guys.
@BigRedCeltTT 51 YO crazy cat lady over here would love cafes, transit, and music venues in my neighborhood (with the caveat of appropriate sound mitigation on the music venues)
