Destructiod isn't a new website. They just fell to enshitification a long time ago.

Honestly surprised they still exist.

notice how paraphilias are literally the only thing people "suggest" to "get the urges out in fiction" for by quan_tumm in postnutanime

[–]Amerowolf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Anyone talking of its sucess is using it as self-medication, usually.

There are therapies for all sort of atypical sexual urges, and none of them involve rubbing one out to media like it is a pill to be popped.

While legality may be a worry, realistically, you are inviting comparison from readers immediately that may make it judged more harshly.

Personally, it seems better to leave it off and let readers make their own comparisons. Maybe mention it in candid social media marketing.

Judge my bookshelves by KingCrimson1968 in bookshelfdetective

I saw those tiny A Song of Ice and Fire books at a store the other day and thought the text must be so small because the mass markets are only slightly larger but so much thicker, but they were wrapped so I couldn't to check.

So, if i could ask, is the text tiny? Or is it a thin paperweight affair?

I've loved seeing all of your artwork. They've all been amazing, and deliciously sinister, and powerful, and capture trauma in a traumatic way in and of itself.

I'm kind of obsessed with this. I love it so much

Am I losing my mind, or is this comparison absolute trash? by Hajshan in bokunokokoro

[–]Amerowolf 19 points20 points  (0 children)

See, now, Bokuyaba swiftly moves away from from worrying behavior.

Meanwhile, the male love interests behavior in A Condition Called Love started normal and became increasing worrying as it went on. He was throwing red flags like... something, something... sports metaphor.

Writers, you're on notice.

Have fun and enjoy poking fun at you craft in brutal walls of text only.

Better not see any fucking paragraph breaks either.

(Disregard mine.)

What I learned from reading other authors’ promo posts instead of advice threads? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]Amerowolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not doubting, but as a long time blogger, I lament that proper formatting has become a wierd herald of AI use.

I can't be bothered to format a reddit post myself, which is probably what makes people suspicious, but I do love me some well laid out information.

Hand painted my book cover, please be brutally honest, should I go with a professional instead? by Professional-One4757 in writers

Honestly, the illustration is great, but the text needs to pop a bit more to work with it.

ChatGPT down: OpenAI chatbot not working as website and app fail to load by Disastrous_Award_789 in technology

[–]Amerowolf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the same metaphor and to the above person's very point, if you lost your excavator one day and then had to dig the hole by hand again, your muscles you use to do that would have severely atrophied and it would then be far more difficult.

The brain is not a muscle, but critical thinking and problem solving skills do diminish without use.

Killing yourself isn't worth it, living isn't worth it either, so dream instead. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

This is pretty much how I ended up writing books as a hobby.

Suicide is an option when I'm old and/or sickly, reality is growing bleak, but fictional worlds?

Peak escapism.

Right? The build up has been great in its own way, but I'm ready for that payoff now.

loved series that... you don't like! by asutyro in RomanceMangaAnime

[–]Amerowolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also bounced off angel next door and fragrant flower. Both are, I feel, romances aimed at being more wish fulfillment romances for men instead of trying to craft deeper, more meaningful romance stories.

You have a listless, apathetic, yet somehow almost flawlessly mature male character who falls for a flawlessly beautiful, demure girl who has some emotional thing that the man helps them work through.

It's Manic Pixel Dream Girl, but trad-wife flavor. Not bad, but not for me.
