Response for when the far-right pick a fight by spewing ignorant divisive bollocks, then claim that they're being 'bullied', or 'cancelled', or 'oppressed' or 'silenced' when other people argue back or criticise them for said bollocks.
There's an interactive novel on steam with a 600,000 word count, and it costs like, $7 or $8. I played the demo and I had a lot of fun and thought it was funny, so I went to leave a review.
And. Most of the top comments were saying that they love the game and story but $7 is "too expensive"
"Unless its a 100 page novel, I find the price a bit outrageous"
Its six. hundred. THOUSAND words. That literally qualifies as the length of 12 novels! You are getting 12 novels worth of content for 7 fucking dollars!! Fight me!!!
I mean we been knew that people dont understand or appreciate how much effort and time goes into artistic labor but that first comment really put it in to perspective how ppl who know literally nothing about your craft will explain to you why you don't deserve money for it.
Anyways go check out Choice of Games, I've been playing those games since like 2012 and they have so many awesome stories and talented writers. They're all choose your own adventure type stories with a wide variety of genres, choices that actually affect the outcome, cool character customization, and many are queer friendly. In most of the games you can play as male, female or nonbinary, and your character can usually be gay, straight, bi or ace (its becoming more common to have alloace and alloaro options too!)
There's some variation between games, and the older games can be kinda frustrating with sexuality/gender stuff, but i still appreciate them for the awesome stories. Even tho some of the writing is flawed, its one of the first pieces of media to ever introduce me to the concept of being nonbinary, so Im attached, lmao.
And some games are even offering aroace options now (tho the minimal content behind those options so far def still has a long ways to go) At least it’s getting the word out there, and most have some form of platonic path to follow, even if it’s shorter or doesn’t offer the depth of the romances.
I need to buzz in because... what?!
„Unless it is a 100 page novel....“... ?? Seriously? Some people have no clue...
I found the following chart... I think nobody would complain to pay 7$ for Dickens or Tolstoy (and they wrote less words....)
I gladly support the awesome authors of Choice of Games and Hosted Games stories by paying for the full stories. Many are waaaaay better than some „published books“ I read.
Getting a little bit tired of posts that are like “adhd is only a disorder because of capitalism” as if it’s mr monopoly man’s fault that i struggle to stay committed to artistic projects i undertook personally for myself and that I enjoy, have trouble regulating my emotions, and procrastinate on eating and going to the bathroom.
I get what they are trying to say, but even if capitalism didn’t exist I would still want to have things like “the motivation to clean my living space and the ability to actually notice that it’s dirty.” I know this is part of the misperception of adhd, but adhd doesn’t just affect academics and work. It affects EVERYTHING, including your personal goals and your own basic needs
I was v confused when they smushed the leaves, but then about halfway thru the q tips it started coming back together
Witchcraft…
older siblings b like i hate u because mom made me do things before u were born and also because u are taller. younger siblings b like u are oppressing me by giving me a task. only children b like what the fuck is compromise, fuck you
middle children b like [disappear under mysterious circumstances]
OP forgetting middle children in the first post is on point
yo aint "biden" that shit boys use to hold their titties or some shit?
everyone shut up this is the only inauguration related post i care about
“lives in my head rent-free” is such a strange expression. Does anything in your head actually pay rent?

Literally the best part of Breaking Dawn is Renesmee getting sad that she doesn’t sparkle like the others, and Bella saying “You’re the prettiest” followed immediately by Edward saying “I have to disagree” right in front of her
Like I get Edward can’t turn off the Bella Compliment Machine but imagine being self conscious about your looks and your mom is like “oh honey I think you’re the best looking one here.” And then your dad walks in like “What? No she’s not.”
this is so fucking funny bruh I’m physically crying bc I forgot smeyer needed her self-insert to be so not-like-other-girls that not even her kid could be complimented more highly than her by her own damn parents sjsjggzksndhxkdjdbshsissks
bitches say they're fine and then scream the "I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" in bohemian rhapsody louder than everyone else
don't give your cat boy milk he'll shit himself

we’ve “cancelled” shane dawson 100000 times. we’ve “cancelled” jk rowling 100000 times. we’ve “cancelled” 6ix9ine 100000 times. we’ve “cancelled” jeffree star 100000 times. cancel culture is not what you think it is. maybe stop trying to find reasons to stick up for horrible people and start listening to the people affected by their actions/words/beliefs. i cannot stand to see all of this blow over yet again and for ppl to continue giving these assholes platforms, especially when they try to “separate the art from the artist.” shut the fuck up
You know what bugs me about soulmate aus? So, I’m assuming that this whole “the first thing your soulmate says to you blahblahblah” is a worldwide thing. So many of the aus I’ve read have a quote at some point that addresses how tragic it is when people have soul words that say something like “hi” or “‘sup” which makes NO SENSE! In a world where the first thing you say to people is THAT important, WHY GOD WHY would the culture still use standard greetings? Who the fuck is still saying hello at this point? Everyone in these worlds would surely develop a personalized greeting different from everybody else’s to prevent confusion. Like how no 2 racehorses can have the same racing name? The best part is that every time people met someone new for the first time, they would try to say something that no one else had said. You’d have people meeting eachother at a job intetview, they’d shake hands, smile politely, then one of them would be like “Every Tuesday, I hard even grape purple farm house sunsets too” and this would be perfectly normal. Or you’d go up to the cash register at Starbucks and instead of saying “Hello, what can i get for you today?” She’d look you right in the eye and say “I don’t know what Space Jam is” THEN ask you what you want and she’d repeat that to every customer in the line for the rest of her career. And because they live in the AU, nobody would think it was weird.
op you are forcibly opening my third eye with a crowbar and i am here for it
People horrifically fucking up facts about evolution and genetics too support their stupid beliefs or to seem smart and “rational” is probably one of my big pet peeves
Yeah. An enormous number of racists, misogynists, homophobes and transphobes I’ve met eventually whip out something about evolutionary biology and they never, ever, ever, ever have the slightest shadow of even a half-right idea what any of it means or ever cite a claim ever actually made by a scientific study.
Here’s a quick handy reference list or anyone who isn’t sure:
Homosexuality does exist in almost all social species.
“Alpha males” are not a real phenomenon and in fact the most aggressive males tend to be the least reproductively successful.
“Survival of the fittest” simply means that the success of a species hinges on how well it “fits” its environment. It does not mean that stronger or smarter individuals are supposed to succeed. Those things can even be a detriment in nature by wasting too many resources.
“Race” is not a biological concept. Someone who looks different from you has the same human genes, just a different grab-bag of dominant traits.
Evolution is not a march towards higher complexity, more intelligence or even more adaptability. It’s just a fluctuation of characteristics dictated by environmental pressures and mutation. A slime mold isn’t “less evolved” than a hawk, just adapted for success under different parameters.
People didn’t evolve “from apes.” It’s more complicated than that. We are a category of ape, sharing a common ancestor with the other apes.
No human on Earth is “closer” to an evolutionary ancestor than any other. We all descended from the same one.
Neanderthals were also a “sibling” species of ours. We didn’t evolve from them.
Some of us did, however, cross-breed with Neandethal man. It is exclusively non-African races, such as white people, who still carry hybrid human/Neanderthal genes. Whoops, sorry “white purity” skinheads, you’re actually mixed with a whole other species.
Some more stuff!
Humans are actually more genetically homogeneous than most people suspect. This is possibly due to a population bottleneck at some point in our evolutionary past. Two chimpanzees from different sides of a jungle are likely more genetically different to each other than any two human beings in the world.
Our big brains may help us use tools, but what was really principal in their development was the need for empathy, communication, and cooperation.
Humans. Are. Social. So social it drove an incredibly energetically costly increase in our brain size. Don’t believe anyone who says its our nature to fight “every man for themself.” We’re humans, not bears. We fight for each other.
And we always have. Fossil remains are found of ancient humans who bore signs of crucial mobility impairments that lived to notable ages. Some even have sticks or other mobility aids – community care and support is our way. We don’t cast off those with impairments, we stand by them.
Human sexual dimorphism is on a decreasing trend. Our ancestors had greater difference in canine size and overall size. Our dimorphism gap has gotten smaller.
Occam’s razor is the principal that whatever is the simplest explanation is probably the most likely one. Don’t believe someone who says the reason we evolved bipedalism is so that males could carry gifts to females to woo them. Yes, this is a real ‘theory’ on how bipedalism evolved.
Skin tone is an adaptation of UV levels vs vitamin D levels. Both come from the sun. UV is harmful, so where sun is plentiful populations develop a darker skin tone for more protection. The skin needs sun to create vitamin D, so where sun is scarce, the skin tone lightens to allow more sun in. This is literally all it is.
Final thing: No one’s mind is really equipped to fully understand how long a billion years is, or a million, or even tens of thousands of years. Evolution takes place over a loooong time. Its very, very, slow, slower than we can really comprehend. We can’t “stand in the way” of natural selection by caring for our ill. We don’t need to “help” evolution in any way. It inevitably happens, but not on any sort of timescale we could possibly affect, so don’t fall for anyone that tells you not to “stand in the way” of natural selection. That’s fascism, and its utterly pseudo-scientific.
Not to mention natural selection doesn’t have a “will” that you can stand in the way of. Its not an entity with wants, its a millions-year long process. And its impossible for our decisions to “stand in its way.” Our decisions to care for one another are what brought our species where it is, plain and simple.
