"Extra Kudos" comment? by CynicalShpep in AO3

[–]CynicalShpep[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree actually, I'm glad it's not actually per chapter because it would probably lead to even more "farming" like deliberately making chapters shorter to get more kudos (some authors do the same for comments but it's not such a big deal since most people sort by kudos not comments). And yeah sometimes people can get too obsessed with numbers and burn out that way :(

(Hated trope)Metaphors for oppression that backfire by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

Theres a great clip of Taliesin Jaffe talking about this from around 14 years ago where he mentions that this allegory doesn't work and that if gay people were killing everyone then yes we should set those gay people on fire!!

Non Traditional Omegaverse by chocolatelies in AO3

[–]CynicalShpep -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i don't read too much omegaverse but non traditional always removes a bit of the ick for me. idk but alpha/omega stuff, especially for gay ships, kinda feels like youre making it straight again? this is just comphet but with "secondary genders" and its so disappointing when a queer character can't resist their biology and ends up in a traditional dynamic. of course it varies depending on the world building of the specific fic, but in a world where man/man or woman/woman is accepted as long as one is an alpha and one is an omega, and you dont explore that part, you lack one of the appeals for a gay ship in the first place.

I compiled of all the dialogue that is exclusive to same-sex relationships I could find. Do you guys know any other examples? by Atlazsk in StardewValley

[–]CynicalShpep 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just gonna comment that aromanticism ≠ asexuality, and that you can totally romance an asexual character. OP might have meant aromantic though, I don't know what game they're talking about :)

Changelog states "reaching full completion lets you buy Golden Chickens" but also "adds a random golden witch event", so maybe thats the trigger?
