“This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it was written by a preteen, and most of such things posted publicly are fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it has a focus on character and relationships, like the style of a lot of modern fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it keeps referencing people and events with the assumption that the audience is already familiar with them, like how fanfic doesn’t need to rehash the source material)”

Some further suggestions from the notes:

“This reads like fanfiction (it’s a love story for the ages as long as you can overlook that the author keeps misspelling ‘you're’)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (you can tell the author was having a blast writing this and now so do you reading it)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author is clearly info-dumping about a very niche hobby of theirs that they’re passionate about)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the characters keep getting put in increasingly weirder situations which you’d normally only find in fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author felt the need to rehash the characters from when they were first introduced instead of after several years’ worth of character growth)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it had no editor)”

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

[breninarthur]

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps

[bunniboiz]

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

[nyxessence]

i think we are all forgetting that the fear of being known prevents love. it is scary! but your friends want to embrace you! and pushing through the shame allows us the honor of knowing you, your tastes, and your heart. hiding even the smallest of joys prevents the people you care about from celebrating alongside you. being known is what lets you be loved! allow us the honor of getting to love you, and not a palatable veneer

not to talk about the hp show but it's wild to me that jkr was like publicly and explicitly like "the last set of child actors have denounced my bigotry, I want a new set of child actors to groom. create a television program so I can have new children" and everyone was just like ok joanne! :) here's your new children! :)

[thewickedbohemian]

Leaving aside the weird framing of using the term grooming, now that we're past the point of no return enough that we've got trailers out, the new set have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and denounce her bigotry where she can't back out or just scrap everything thus forcing her to be around their views enough that they might deradicalize her

[creekfiend]

I mean, she is explicitly upset that the last cast of kids broke away from her shit because she 'made them what they are' and wants to like. start fresh with a new batch of children. so she is hoping the outcome here will be that these kids follow her ideology into adulthood, bc of the outsized role she knows she is going to have in their lives. that's grooming. like that's a textbook case of grooming. grooming doesn't have to be sexual, sexual grooming is just one type of grooming. using your power and influence to try to mold kids' minds so that they agree with your ideology is also grooming.

[reasonablywittyatbest]

Yeah man that's grooming but you'll never see people agreeing because it would make people have to deeply reflect on the role of religion in society

[whetstonefires]

i once referred to the purpose of veggietales as 'indoctrination of children,' and despite the fact that the most literal and original definition of that word is 'train into christians with correct beliefs' people got really offended.

this is a relatively recent phenomenon (indoctrinate was broadly considered a morally neutral word up to like the 60s) so I'd argue we are seeing some kind of ongoing culture shift around conceptualizing the rights of children.

no way of knowing ofc where we're going to land.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

where we should land is that society begins to agree there is a difference between teaching children basic prosocial values that will help them function positively in to the world and manipulating them to adopt specific belief systems (religious, political, etc) on the basis of adults feeling entitled to the comfort of believing that their ideal society will persist beyond their own lifespans

but that probably won't happen

Alright listen up.

Yes, we can't force anyone to boycott. Everyone makes their own decision.

But i'm allowed to comment on both the two faced people in the fandom and those who claim they can't not log in.

Papergames is a business. We can trend hashtags and donate to charities as much as we want but the biggest thing that they'll look at is their revenue.

If their game isnt doing well, they'll take action. If people are logging in and playing the game like normal, they won't care about anything else.

I can't stop you from playing. But logging in and claiming you want Valko back will do nothing for his return.

Make their pockets hurt. And once he returns, we can play as much as we want

I hope 71 year old Lindsey Graham’s death makes his elderly, fossilized, decrepit fucking constitutes contemplate their own mortality and feel Satan snapping at their heels. I hope it’s a sign to them to try to get right with God. They can’t and they won’t but I hope they feel their mortality and the punishment awaiting them, if they have the slightest faith in the religion they profess to follow.
