"Using an Oxford comma is a sign of AI"

bestie boo, let me fill you in on something: if you're going to take any part of 'good grammar' and randomly assign it to She's A Witch! AI, you might as well give up. It's over. You're cooked. Anyone who has spent the last decade or more learning to type properly, anyone who has spent any time writing articles/papers/essays that require you to use 'good grammar' is going to fall into that 'oh no it might be AI' trap.

Stop hunting like it's 1692. You're not going to find Goody Proctor at the ChatGPT sacrament. What you're going to do is exactly what happened back then: harming people who've done nothing wrong.

"why is this person drawing sexualized art of hatsune miku, isn't hatsune miku canonically 16?" hatsune miku is a voice bank. she's pretty much an electronic piano that goes Oo Ee Oo. hatsune miku is not a person with a life. nobody is doing CSAM of hatsune miku, because hatsune miku is not a C you can do M featuring SA about. that's a glorified slide whistle on the compyooter. you cannot psychologically abuse a theremin. it's generally agreed to be impossible to traumatize a harmonica. hatsune miku is a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you can't do child abuse to a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you cannot. do. child abuse. to a nonsapient. synthesizer. software addon. hello hello hello can anyone hear me

do you understand that drawing a picture of a cartoon software mascot in a swimsuit is a different type of action from abusing a child. that's not the same kind of thing. those are two different types of action. there is no connection between those actions. if someone draws a boob that person is not now guilty of assaulting a minor. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand.

The irony is that the kind of thinking that says Hatsune Miku is a child was what Dadaism was made to combat in the first place.

Do you think it's weird and/or predatory for a 13 year-old and a 30 year-old to be best friends if they're not family members or related by blood? Assuming everything is innocent and platonic. Nothing romantic or sexual.

Yes, it's weird and predatory

It's weird. But not predatory

It's predatory. But not weird

No, it's not weird or predatory

unpopular opinion but I don't think there's anything weird or predatory about an innocent friendship

dianxiacantastemolecules

The question is why the fuck is a thirty year old hanging out with a 13 year old if not in their family?? The only other relation that could have them interact is through teacher/student and bring friends like that would be weird as fuck

creelson

found family? the kid not feeling safe in their house? the adult wanting to help? family / teacher / school isn't always a guaranteed safe place. should the kid and adult each have friends that are their own age too? sure. but if their friendship is genuinely innocent then I think the problem isn't them but people who project their weird and predatory thoughts onto them

the-bar-sinister

Don't forget shared hobbies?

A 13 year old and a 30 year old could reasonably meet at a tabletop gaming store, a fiber arts group, a book club....

They could literally just be neighbors. This whole isolationist thing of never even talking to the people you live closest to is new and weird.

It is important to human social development to have extra-parental adults as advisors and role models!

hollowedskin

Look the 13yo which has safe and healthy relationships with other adults that are not part of their family, they're probably safer than kids that don't because they have someone outside of their closed circle to ask for help.

Also stop pretending that kids are fucking aliens ffs, or that they're babies until they hit the magical age of 18! A 13yo is just as funny, creative, and thoughtful as anyone else, they don't unlock new ways of thinking or feeling, all the software is on board! Teenagers and kids are fully human and I am so sick of people acting as though a kid has nothing to offer in a friendship and that their presence must be a burden to everyone!!!

Youth lib is treating kids as human beings, and by isolating kids and young people from everyone who isn't their own age or an authority, you put them at more risk! Adult friends model appropriate behaviour, allowing the young person (who is at risk of manipulation and abuse due to limited life experience, not because they're a little baby who's brain isn't formed yet) to know when behaviour from adults is inappropriate.

A young person with adult friends can also approach them and go "hey Alex is making me feel really uncomfortable, is that weird or am I overreacting" and have their friend go "Alex is doing what?? No you're absolutely not overreacting, you don't have to put up with that." And help them get out of a situation before it develops.

Oh my gosh wow new username! :0 I like it a lot :)

yes!! i think it's cute! thank you!!

Some writing advice I will never give up:

Your characters are allowed to be bad people. Your story is allowed to have no moral lesson.yyour ending is allowed to be sad. The villain can win. The good person can do something unforgivable. The lovers can destroy each other. You are allowed to write the thing that no one asked for and everything that everyone told you doesn’t work and you are allowed to not explain yourself.

It’s your story. Burn it down if you want to.

Write whatever you want. Write that incredibly niche thing that only two other people on earth will get. Write the super indulgent cliche thing that makes you kick your feet giddily. Write the angry rage story that whumps them all and makes people cry.

Whatever it is that YOU want to write. Write it. Because only YOU can.

Fandom Problem #14,916:

I want all creatives to know that no matter how much you bend to the whim of others, how hard you work to make everyone happy, how careful you are with your words or works - it will never be good enough to those making the demands, to those who make you walk around on eggshells.

There will be those who hate you for your creative works. There will be those who hate you for how you are liked and loved by others. Please remember this.

Work on projects YOU want to do. Stay focused on your own joy in the creative progress. Do not take criticism from those you wouldn't take advice from.

This is your time and energy that you are using. So, use it on projects that bring you joy.

generally speaking, the cooler and better your offline political activities are, the more important it becomes that you do not post about it on your personal social media acconts

One of my biggest literary pet peeves is when historical or history-inspired fiction pretends that "courting" is a synonym for "dating". Usually it's just a one-to-one word swap--in a modern context, these characters would be dating, but this is olden times, so they call it courting instead. Sometimes they'll pretend there's a shade of difference, and that courting is a more serious exploration of marriage or something. But I read a lot of fiction that was actually written during these historical eras, and the word "courting" is never used like that.

Two people do not decide that they are "courting". One person decides to "court" someone else. It's an action, not a stage in the relationship. A man decides to court a woman because he wants to encourage her to have romantic interest in him. He's trying to win her favor. It's not an exclusive relationship--a woman could be courted by multiple men at once. She'll spend time getting to know the guy who's interested in her, but they won't officially define their relationship as one where they only show romantic interest in each other. If they reach a point where they want it to be exclusive, that's when you propose.

There's no middle ground--either you're getting to know each other, or you're committed to marrying each other. This idea of a period where you kind of commit to each other until you decide you definitely want to get married is a modern one, and it occurs in eras where they use the word "dating" to describe it. The closest equivalent I can think of are times and places where they'd talk about a couple "stepping out together", but they're still not calling it "courting". Words have meaning, and the word "courting" has never meant that, so stop using it that way!

starfieldcanvas

the other mild historical disjoint i run into is when people talk about dating in the fifties like it automatically meant exclusivity. the whole reason we have the expression "going steady" is because the default was to or "go around with" or "go out with" multiple people. not in the sense of being in a stable polyamorous vee, but in the sense that archie is actively "seeing" both betty and veronica during the entire time the two girls are competing for his attention and they're both seeing other guys to make him jealous, and nobody involved considers this "cheating."

bizarrely, America has in many ways gotten more conservative about dating since World War II.

There's a lot you can say about the writing in any Danganronpa game, but the one thing I enjoy about Trigger Happy Havoc specifically is that the characters are for the most part treated equally in terms of what characters get what story/screentime (although obviously characters like Leon and Sayaka serve early game purposes so they aren't as entirely complete as the others)...

Chihiro, although there are faults in the English localization that change the perception of the character, still has probably my favorite additional lore, as even after everything is said and done regarding their strength, they still showed immense understanding and care by creating Alter Ego within the confines of the school. Out of seemingly no materials and while considering themself the weakest of all ultimates, they were able to not only work on memory alone, but task Alter Ego with decoding information left on the laptop.

Even though it's later revealed that Junko knew about Alter Ego the entire time it still hits?

Like, having to grapple with the despair/hope/despair/hope cycle of Chihiro Dies, Alter Ego Is Found, Alter Ego Gets Destroyed, Alter Ego Saves Makoto... It was one of my favorite bits of the game and knowing that Chihiro got to be the strong person they'd always imagined themselves to be by simply JUST DOING WHAT CAME NATURALLY instead of Having to lift weights and become superficially strong just makes me a bit emo. I love Chihiro and Alter Ego deeply and I wish more people would draw fan art of the two of them.

I think at some point Alter Ego does become a character on their own, especially around the time Taka gets Mondo's blessing from beyond the grave through them. It's so fucked up in ways because as a society in 2026 we know the power of AI chat bots and how they are generally known for lying straight to your face in order to keep you coming back in personal conversations, it feels bizarre how Genuine the portrayal of Alter Ego is. It really feels like consciousness coded into a computer and it's endlessly intriguing to me considering the game came out in 2010.
