i encourage you to go to your favourite writer's ao3 page and comment on an older fic, because i can assure you that it will make their day. It can mean so much to see your work doesn't disappear into the void to be never seen again after a day of people interacting with it. Just, if you have the time, go comment on an older work

(pls reblog this to try and get as much writers a bit of appreciation)

Lucky your Gen Z do you think the purity culture within the group is blown out of proportion?

I think that specifically assigning blame for overall cultural issues - and particularly ones that are more prevalent online than they are otherwise, though they exist in both places - to one generation is a silly game to play that doesn't do anything to address the issues at hand.

Maybe all of Gen Z, myself included, are just puritans for some reason. Maybe it has to do with the generation who raised us. Maybe it has to do with our politicians. Maybe it's a little bit of all of these things or maybe it's none of these things.

I don't believe in assigning blame to diverse groups of people. There are people within Gen Z, Y, X, etc and etc and etc that perpetuate purity culture. And there are people within all those same groups who do not.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
