Never normalize Nazis.
I hate _% of people statistics being used like “oh it’s such a small number” cause 1% is a small number but 1% of 7 billion is 70 million. That’s more than the population of the UK, France or Italy.
6% of the US is 19 million, as stated above. There are only 3 states that have over 19 million people in them. 19 million is the population of the entire state of New York. That’s more than half the population of California.
Taking populations and turning them into percentages is okay until you try to say “oh that’s not a lot of people” but the reality is… That’s millions. That’s enough to be its own country. That’s fucking scary.
Like don’t get me wrong, that’s nicer than the idea that Americans are split pretty 50/50 on such issues…. but that’s still 3 neo-Nazis for every Jew in the country. 6% is a nice, softened way of saying “over 1 in 20 people”.
3 neo-Nazis for every Jew in the country.
3 neo-Nazis for every Jew in the country.
3 neo-Nazis for every Jew in the country.
Let that sink in. Then think about how your Jewish friends and neighbors feel right now, and have been feeling all this time.
And that’s only the people who “Identify”

I hate this “no spoilers” culture that we live in right now. Producers and writers are so terrified of fans predicting the ending to their works to the point that they’re making nonsensical endings to their narratives. They’re messy, out-of-character, and outlandish, but, hey! at least they’re unpredictable!
Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi — completely ignored & disregarded the 3-film narrative arc J.J. Abrams has planned out for the sequel trilogy, and instead developed his own messy narrative full of subversions for the sake of subversion, and completely disrespected the legacy of Luke Skywalker’s character (Mark Hamill himself has reported several times that he doesn’t recognize the character).
Russos, MCU — give out fake scripts, actors play against green screens and are cut & pasted together in post, show fake/edited scenes in trailers, throw away previous character development (Thor, Ragnarok vs Infinity War and especially Endgame).
D&D, Game of Thrones — throw away a decade of foreshadowing and character development for shock value, not to mention they missed a whole ass Starbucks cup in a shot in 8x03 (either on set or in post, somebody should’ve noticed this).
I’m sick and tired of this. It’s not good writing, and it’s no longer entertaining to fans when the characters they know and love become complete strangers. There’s good shock value — “No, I am your father,” for example — and then there’s ignoring years of character development and turning a kind and caring character into a murderous maniac. There’s a difference, and I think writers still know what that difference is, but they’re pressured to create an ending that fans can’t predict because of this mass panic over “no spoilers”.
This needs to stop. Give me a happy ending. Who the fuck cares if we guess what comes next? That means the writers have done their fucking jobs. If we can guess what comes next that means the writers have successfully developed their characters and foreshadowed future events as you’re supposed to do in a well-written narrative.
No spoilers? Sure. I like to experience narratives without being spoiled. But don’t make the narrative unrecognizable by the ending. It’s just not good writing.
Oh this is some good tea ☕️
@darkfannibal
Well said! I completely agree.
Honestly animated television seems to have a better grasp on this, I mean look at Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. These are two series where the biggest twists and plot turns were predicted YEARS in advance. Predictability does not equate with bad writing. In cases like this, it means that the writers have done a great job laying down the groundwork of their plot and characters, in a way that lets viewers understand how they grow and develop! I just wish more of these writers recognized that.
I would like to point out the problem of “no spoilers” from an entirely different point of view.
Remember when the game industry blew up because the voice actors were kept in the dark of voicing main lead characters for tripleA games and so recieved the payment one would get for a low budget game? And when a voiceactor pointed out that ‘umm its pretty obvious I’m voicing the same character I did last time on that game that blew up and made billions of $$$ so I would like to be paid more’ shit hit the fan.
Yes. They keep actors, voiceactors and so on in the dark on purpose so they are UNABLE to negotiate on their DESERVED salary.
This problem probably grows into the field of everyone working in the entertainment industry.
It’s not just ‘no spoiler and secrecy’ that they call a project completely different then how it will be ‘a game that made millions part2’.
But by keeping people who work on it in the dark they tie them to low salaries.
If I knew I worked on ‘Overwatch2’ instead of ‘Tulip’ of course I would handle it differently. Not only would the morale of the ppl be better, but they would expect higher salaries because they knew they worked on an expensive project.
I honestly don’t know anything about the movie industry but I wouldn’t put past them to have the same reasons to keep actors in the dark as much as possible. (Who is directing, who wrote the script, who am I acting together with, who else iss in the movie that I do not know of, what kind of salary/benefits does the other person doing the same job has, will I be in the trailer, will this scene with me stay in the movie or will it be cut, does that effect my salary? )
This whole “no spoiler” shit has evolved into a massive oppression on the creative field to make sure they need to pay as little to people as possible. ‘Keeping the audience in the dark’ is just an excuse by now.

how do I find a fic that’s exactly like the one I’ve just read but also different
^^^reasons why writers shouldn’t be worried about using the same tropes/concept/plot that’s been done before
^^^Thank you for saying it

Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points
Finally a Fred and George AU that doesn’t make me want to set myself on fire.
AU where Fred and George are in different houses and they get their hands on house ties from the other two houses as well. By the end of their first year nobody knows which house either of them is in and just take points off a random house whenever they see a redhead getting up to something.
The confusion runs so deep by the time Ron starts that Snape once takes points off Slytherin for Ron fighting with Malfoy.
There’s a few months in Fred and George’s second year when they successfully convince most of the school that they’re actually quadruplets, one in each house.
“George! Why are you wearing a Slytherin tie?”
“What? No, I’m Edward. Y'know, Slytherin’s resident Weasley?”
“Wh…huh???”
“Next you’ll be telling me you don’t know Hubert!”
“?????”

Fucking finally, something positive that doesn’t look fucking photoshopped to hell. Real, unedited people, I am loving this
Do people really care about tags on ao3? Like I understand tagging content warnings and genres and such, but when it comes to additional tags, how much should I tag? I’ve noticed the funniest common tags that just make me wonder if anyone’s really interested in filtering fics by “inspired by music”, “North America” or “umbrellas”. Especially in smaller fandoms, like most of mine, it just seems kind of pointless bc you can’t afford to be picky anyway. Do you think additional tags are useful?
I think…
Actually, I’m going to take this as an opportunity to nerd. So there’s a phenomenon in linguistics called a sprachbund. A sprachbund is basically an area where a bunch of languages that aren’t from the same family have been rubbing up against each other for a very long time. When this happens, these unrelated languages start to pick up features from each other in a kind of linguistic crosspollination.
Example: Romanian is a Romance language, like French or Spanish. But it has a bunch of weird phonetic and grammatical features that no other Romance languages have. Why? Because it’s been living next to a bunch of Slavic languages for so long that it started to act like a Slavic language.
What does any of this have to do with your question? Well, I think that there are a bunch of websites that form a kind of internet fandom sprachbund. Each has its own features, but those features bleed into the other sites, even though they don’t belong there. Think about how ff.net style “legal disclaimers” (that actually have no legal meaning or function) sometimes show up on works written for ao3, which is designed to offer legal protection that makes those disclaimers irrelevant. Or how that ao3 tag generator started getting used as a prompt generator for tumblr drabbles. And on, and on, and on. Internet fandom is an enormous cross-platform sprachbund.
So what does that have to do with tagging on ao3? Well, I think ao3 picked up that style of tagging from tumblr. Because of the way tumblr is structured, it’s considered bad form to add non-constructive comments on your reblog of a post. Otherwise, you get dozens of reblogs just saying “wow” or “mood” and the post becomes unreadable. So people started putting their reactions to a post into the tags they added to their reblog, which prevented the post from accumulating nonsense. But then people were used to thinking of tagging as a mode of expression rather than purely functional, so the expressive use of tagging spread to ao3, even though it doesn’t serve the same purpose there.
The cool bit is that the weird tagging conventions ao3 got from tumblr have come to serve an entirely different and still valuable purpose on ao3. Since author’s notes aren’t visible in search results but tags are, the tags can be used to signal a set of things about the fic that a summary might not get across. For instance, if a fic is tagged “hurt/comfort”, that tells you the genre of the fic, but not its tone. But if the author then adds a tag like “but really mostly comfort we’re all about the comfort here”, you have a much better sense of what kind of fic you’re about to read. So even though no one would ever filter by that tag, it’s still conveying important information.
Isn’t human communication amazing?
