#i hate reddit so much sometimes

[nthflower]

Some of reddit comic nerds would all agree how this fictional evil character who is maybe off-screen did some crime is absolutely unforgivable and shouldn't get a redemption and how it's just bad writing and how fans of this sucks, but also go say shit like "Everybody deserves second chances stop being hater let people change UwU" about people in comic industry e.g Tom King -You know the real life ex-CIA agent writer who probably did real life crimes- if you ever criticise him.

“Rayllum was rushed and forced” actually it wasn’t because I wanted them to kiss. Moving on.

the honest to god worship of kenny in some twdg spaces needs to be studied... are we forgetting the everything about him being a complex and nuanced character or am i just insane. this man is NOT a hero he is literally just on a downward spiral

i need to get on the reread grind to make proper meta...... atm all i'm thinking about is things that frustrate me with worldbuilding which is not what the germ intended. he would not want for us to give ourselves over to haterism. to caring about minor worldbuilding. focus on the characters and their struggles. focus on the themes. stop thinking about the really weird shit in fire and blood and twoiaf-

When I need to check something on reddit (most of the time I end up there because they have the answer to some obscure hardware problem I'm getting) I have to remember I am on the MEN website. To read the posts they write there I have to shift into straight cis male mentality otherwise I'll just start a war

Where are u supposed to find good trans memes I'm serious. r/traa is unfunny and unoriginal, r/egg_irl is unrelatable to me at this stage and also not very funny, r/AccidentalAlly just makes me feel like shit, and r/transgendercirclejerk feels like digital self harm half the time.

One Piece on reddit: Guys one piece sucks because Franky isn't getting his dick sucked by vegapunk every single arc since he returned. This is literally such a disappointment. Luffy's mom is woop slap from fuchsia village.

One Piece on tumblr: here's my two gay men every straw hat is gay and I love thema ll im mashing them together like barbie dolls. Theese characters are so fucking good i am gonna defend all fo their actions to the death.

Hi! I’m Graves, you can call me Fang or Red too! I’m gay, trans male, and over 21. I have trouble expressing myself, or sometimes express myself in weird ways. I’m fine clarifying myself if you need me to. I don’t mind chatting with mutuals over the IM system here, but I have some bad anxiety. Sorry if I miss a message! I reblog a variety of content that changes basically monthly, though I do tag for archival purposes, as well as for common triggers. (I’m very bad at this last part, no hard feelings if you unfollow me for not trigger tagging.) You can find my usual interests >here<! I do not update that link regularly, but it was updated recently (at the start of January 2023.) I also have extra info there, including other sites I’m potentially on. My art only blog is right >here<, and I accept donations >here< if you’re feeling generous. My commissions are permanently closed to the public. Any commissioned art you see on there is from before my closure in December 2021, or for very select cases. Please don’t inquire. If you’re a dumbass bigot (TERF, racist, cop, nazi) you’re getting blocked. I also block people who ask to tag ‘q slur’, people who make ableist comments, truscum, and pedo/zoophiles. Finally, I also block excessive use of Ary*n man (white man with curly blonde mustache) memes. I will NOT, under any circumstances, reblog donations posts if I’m asked to over DMs/asks. There are way too many scam artists nowadays. I also will only reblog donation posts if they’re by people I trust, or people my mutuals trust.

Not gonna lie, sometimes being a writer in my native language feels... isolated and alienating. However not in the 'AO3 stats be low and less than English ones' that maybe one could thought of it at first, no, I know what I am doing writing and posting my non-English fanfics on AO3. I have really good friends and a minor readership that I love.

The isolation and alienation comes from people hating their own native languages and being so vocal (almost proud with others encouraging them) about it. Bet I am not the only who has see this. And I am sorry, but that just feel like hot bullshit. Why do you hate your own language that much? Why do you praise/treat like a better language English and English alone? Why do you say 'ew, a fanfic in my native language!" like that is a completely normal thing to say? I try to come with responses and their logic that aren't plain linguistic colonialism, but I can't. It feels alienating because I see it so. freaking. much. In Tumblr, in Discords, in Reddit, in Twitter, everywhere! Sometimes I have my lows and think 'man am I the wrong here? should I despise my own language, my own (literature) culture? everyone does it'. I respond with a 'no' obviously, since I keep writing in my native language and encourage everyone who approachs me to do it. That still doesn't erase the fact that seeing 'ew fics in my native language sucks!' comments in the wild are pretty demotivating and, to be quite honest, shitty, even if the people doing them aren't from my country.

This kind of feels like a consequence of how... imperialist (for a lack of a better word, sorry) the Internet has become in the past few years. Rather, the whole world, yes; and the Internet is just a part of it so of course fandom got affected by it. If it got affected by this puritanical, bigoted and radfem-y viewpoints, it was just a matter of time for this issue ('fics in English are superior/better in general/better to write/better to got numbers') to chime in. Damned 'globalization'. It was so fast.

I hate it. I hate it so much. It's been constant for decades (with the exception of a few languages like Mandarin). English isn't special! Whatever century's trade language can reach more people, but that's it: it isn't more beautiful, historic, nuanced, interesting, worthy, whatever.

And god is English not less cringey and terrible when it comes to words for dicks or squelchy sex noises or whatever else people find terminally embarrassing to write about. We native speakers had to get over it in order to write. Native speakers of anything can do the same!

Though, yes, Arabic-speaking anon from last time, I grant you that some languages' speakers are going to have to invent a whole new era of writing in the vernacular. Go forth. Write your Canterbury tales if that's what it takes.
