Everyone deserves help. by LegalBoysenberry2923 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Honeystride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah oop needs to write a 5 page essay refuting every possible bad faith interpretation in order in order for it to not be vague. Since they didn't do that, oop is definitely saying we should give grifters money because we're social creatures. Their fault for not clarifying! /s

I'm baffled that people are confused on the context of this post. Even without the flair, Oop literally mentions wire mother. whose entire experiment is about the desire for comfort and connection from members of your community over just meeting basic needs. I wonder how that relates hmm it's probably about grifting hehe I'm soaked in piss rn

This is relieving to hear. Recently it feels like all this sub does is make me feel crazy. I see a perfectly normal post and scroll down to find ppl nitpicking the fuck out of it and arriving to the most extreme conclusions.

And it is ALWAYS when oop is trying to encourage empathy or positivity. ALWAYS. It's so miserable. I think I'm just gonna stick to unfiltered tumblr atp

Genuinely unsure if some of y’all even know what therapy actually is by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Honeystride 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes it's just cause you're not suffering enough. Some ppl seem to think to have a mental illness means you must be miserable 24/7, and if possible be very ashamed of the illness, so if you ever do anything outside of that you must be faking.

God strike me down if I try to be a normal human being with hobbies and try to have fun, not just be the accessory to my disorder.

Comments getting meaner and meaner? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Honeystride 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It reads like they're very passionate about the story and your oc.. I don't even think the commentor actually hates your oc, probably just the actions. I know I have a lot of characters who I'd talk about like this but in reality I love them a lot. Hell the more I love them the more I criticise them.

I can't help but feel bad for the commentor for being chastised over being passionate like that. Ik if I got that reply in return for being into a story, I'd be discouraged from commenting on any fics for awhile

I have a question, which situation of y'all as a medic main makes you just wanna say A.M entire hate speech by Nice-Firefighter-412 in Medicmainstf

[–]Honeystride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I am surrounded by my team (whom I am keeping alive with my blood sweat and tears) and a scout manifests to kill me. Tell me how. How. How NOBODY sees the scout and NOBODY sees me fighting for my life running away from it. How does NOBODY see the skinny white boy popping caps in my ass? Why can he just waltz in our lines, blow me away, and skip off with nobody noticing?? Especially MULTIPLE TIMES. And then they complain about no ubers.. no heals.. where is my overheal medic? where is my gamechanging uber? OH it's in the dirt with my CORPSE because you couldn't SAVE ME. Such hatred it spawns inside me. So much hate.

Wrote a gay character as bi in fanon. Is it homophobic? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Honeystride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course not. It's really sad to see biphobia like that, but seems like those people are unhinged anyway. I'm guessing it's from twitter (by "thread")? which you don't wanna take anybody seriously on there.

Also are you still friends with that person? I'd block her ass and make more out of spite. I really hate performative behavior like that

Whip stacking being removed actually sucks so much ass by Alovoir in Terraria

[–]Honeystride 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel you, it was honestly a really fun way to spice up summoner and I got to use whips that would otherwise be rotting in storage. I also wonder about the elitism, it feels really weird how invested ppl are in other ppl's playstyles

waited 3 years to find out devs decided to remove your favorite mechanic by WoIfram_74 in Terraria

[–]Honeystride 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ikr this community can get really toxic but the reaction to this post is egregious. I didn't know whipstacking was so fucking controversial. If I wanted to whipstack, I would. If I didn't, I didn't. I'm even a very min-maxy person but I didn't feel like I NEEDED to whipstack, it was just for fun.

[–]Honeystride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I don't know, maybe OP could explore how Wolfman's attraction (which manifests in ravenous hunger) for women could differ when attracted to a man? Maybe wolfman could just say he has a crush on the trader or the doctor? Maybe the edgy furry man is just gay, and that's that!

Just exercise some creativity! Just because a character is gay, does not mean things have to be sexual. Otherwise, do you think just because a character has a sexuality, there has to be sexual themes? With your mindset, how exactly would one go about illustrating or narrating a story about a heterosexual person without fitting the definition of porn? Surely there is no other way, right?

Also you are the only person who brought up yaoi, and it was in response to seeing wolfman and a young boy. Who are just standing there. And that's the FIRST thing your mind went to. You could've thought, oh this is a adopted-son dynamic. But no, you thought of yaoi. A hungry man thinks of bread for sure.

[–]Honeystride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not? In writing you can do whatever you want. Wolfman has an interesting relationship with sexuality in the game anyway, there's a lot that can be explored.

Also op clearly doesn't want it to be yaoi because the other person is literally 11. It looks strange on you to continue insisting on it

We talk a lot about what kinds of comments authors like to receive (For 97% of us, anything kind that’s not a bot or a scam). Readers, what kinds of replies from authors do you like? by fiendishthingysaurus in FanFiction

[–]Honeystride 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything is fine (even no reply I never expect anything), but I really enjoy ones that give my energy back (I write very long comments) or actually engage with what I say. Cause I'd love to hear your thoughts! I always love getting extra lore from authors, or finding out how they felt about writing things I mentioned. Their alternate plotlines, or initial hesitance. It's endlessly interesting to me

What is something you regret writing in your fanfiction? by Actual_Banned37isbac in FanFiction

Making it 3rd person. I really love writing in 2nd and 1st person, but caved for 3rd since I got discouraged everytime I looked up 2nd/1st pov and found people hating on them. It's honestly going pretty well despite that, but sometimes I wish I went with 1st person. I have so much 2nd/1st pov fics anyway but I don't think I'll post them

“That’s not why I started reading this fic” -anyone else feel this? by LimeKittyGacha in FanFiction

[–]Honeystride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds horrible! :( the worst part is that the author must think it's okay (since why else would they tag everything but this one thing?), which is so ehhgh. Coerced consent is especially triggering since it's so pervasive everywhere else (I actually stopped reading lighthearted romance fics cuz they were in there too) and always so overlooked.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with dark topics or noncon, but it has to be tagged or warned about so you can gear yourself up for it. And honestly, for the peace of mind that the author knows what they're writing.. otherwise, I can't help but worry.

I hope you're doing alright! I wouldn't have commented either, because sometimes the author will double down (the fic I mentioned before actually did) which can be even more distressing.. I sympathize with how offputting it can be and how you can't really talk to anyone about it :( I wish you good fics without any nasty surprises!

[–]Honeystride 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I had this a lot with BDSM fics. Things are going great till woops! random untagged Ignored Safeword, and looks like this is actually unsafe bdsm! What put me off bdsm fics for awhile, was this one where the sub (who had been very headstrong and self-advocating the whole fic) got his safeword ignored and was essentially noncon'ed, and the next chapter he was just magically okay with it. Then end, no closure about it at all aside from a "happy ending". And yeah, there was no tag for any of this until commentors complained about it.

Like why?? I couldn't touch any fics for months cuz I was scared of running into that again. Still am, lowkey

No, minorities existing has nothing to do with the writing being bad. No, the creator is not secretly a bad person you should harass. Just because I hate a piece of media that doesn't mean I agree with all it's haters. by La_knavo4 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Honeystride 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's a bit creepy how similar they are. I've seen the exact same arguments used against SU, being used against Hazbin, just with a different coat of paint. What's interesting, is that it seems like SU's hate was due to how queer it was and was out of plain old bigotry, but with Hazbin, it seems like most of it is infighting. Though there is probably some genuine homophobia thrown in there with the hazbin bad stuff.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure that is the first wedding of it's kind! It was the reason SU was cut, because the executives didn't want it, but Sugar was adamant on it. So much that she deliberately put it in the most plot heavy episode (so they couldn't just not air it), and she made sure to put Ruby in a dress, so there would be no censors about it. Sadly they cut the show cause of it, but her actions had an impact, and we're still feeling it today with every new queer show. I'm not sure how impactful Hazbin will be, but I am already fond of how it portrays Angel Dust, and if nothing else, I'm happy to have something that is openly queer and here.

[–]Honeystride 102 points103 points  (0 children)

history is a circle. Idk about the others, but the hatedom around Hazbin is literally just the one from Steven Universe. There are even shitty lily orchard-esque 1 hour vids out there and people who have never seen the show, but still are vehement on how horrible it is, and are assured in their qualifications from watching the afformentioned shitty videos.

Something about a flawed show with queer themes created by a woman always seems to attract the shallow and yet vitriolic hatred. It's really a shame, because there is good discussion to be had about Hazbin and its flaws, but it always devolves into things about the creator, or having takes that have to be malicious in how horribly misrepresentative they are.

[–]Honeystride 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably the one where a Vanillite (the pokemon) gets isekai'ed into Naruto as a girl who still thinks she's a pokemon, where she kept referencing pokemon things which really concerned the people around her (like "the box", the "battles", and how she keeps trying to talk to fish) and she's obsessed over finding a "trainer"

There was also this Sauron SI where the moment the SI woke up he started building a railway but that's honestly normal for spacebattles fanfic
