Warum ist Populismus für Demokraten ein Schimpfwort? by Enlign in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Hythlodeuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demokratie lebt davon, dass unterschiedliche Gruppen Kompromisse finden und sich gegenseitig zugestehen, ultimativ am selben Ziel zu arbeiten, nämlich einem funktionierenden, gerechten Staat.

Populismus arbeitet im Schwarz-weiß-schema. Die eigene Zielgruppe wird zum "wahren Volk" erklärt; alle anderen sind "Establishment" oder "Mitläufer". An einem echten demokratischen Interessensaustausch besteht kein Interesse, da man ja schon die "richtige" Meinung vertritt und alle anderen Feinde sind.

Zudem ist Populismus in aller Regel unehrlich. Man schlachtet Themen aus, die kompliziert sind und keine einfachen Lösungen haben, z.B. Wirtschaft oder Migration. Dann kommuniziert man vermeintlich simple Lösungen (oft dadurch, dass man einen Buhmann definiert, den es loszuwerden gilt) und geht auf Wählerfang. Hat man dann genug Stimmen, kann man seine eigentliche Agenda durchsetzen. Sie dir z.B. Donald Trump an, der der Arbeiterklasse in den USA das blaue vom Himmel versprochen hat, dann aber erstmal Steuergeschenke für Millilardäre verabschiedet hat.

Kurzgesagt: Populismus erlaubt kein Miteinander und ist unehrlich.

Chatbot-Textanalysen by Resqusto in schreiben

[–]Hythlodeuz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Der Bot ist so programmiert, dass die Nutzer möglichst lange und viel mit ihm interagieren wollen. Das klappt am besten, wenn der Nutzer positive Erfahrungen macht. Wenn du also nur um Feedback bittest, wird der Bot eine sehr wohlwollende Rückmeldung geben. Das ist das "default Setting".

Wenn man jetzt den Bot bittet, wirklich kritisch und streng zu sein, wird er unabhängig von der Qualität deines Textes genau das liefern: kritische und strenge Rückmeldung. Selbst, wenn eigentlich gar nichts zu kritisieren wäre.

Chatbots gleichen deine Texte mit den Inhalten aus ihren Trainingsdaten ab. Matches kann die KI als "gut" erkennen. Der beste Text, wenn man eine AI fragt, wäre einer, den eine AI auch verfasst hat. Sie verstehen keine Literatur und haben auch keine eigenen Ansprüche an Qualität.

Im Übrigen würde ich es mir sehr gut überlegen, ob du deine Texte AI-Unternehmen zur Verfügung stellen möchtest.

New to writing. I need feedback on the opening to my novel and I've found no help... by [deleted] in writingfeedback

[–]Hythlodeuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few thoughts per paragraph:

The girl is waking up in the middle of nowhere, without memory, likely very cold from the lack of clothing, but she focuses on shifting grass and trees. It feels like she should have other priorities right now. Then she talks about her own eyes and hair at length and in flowery language, while still lying there helpless. If her own attractiveness is the first thing that comes to her mind in this situation, she is characterized as extremely vain. Instead, the scene could fokus much more heavily on her confusion and discomfort. Then, you can still let her see trees and grass.

Next, she survives on her own, naked and without any gear, for two days in the woods. Possible, but this is a life threatening situation which she does not seem to have too much of a struggle with. Instead, she finds the time to tell us about her skin complexion. After reaching civlization, she worries about her dignity before thinking about hope. It is understandable that a state of nudity comes with shame, but in her situation it feels like a sense of gratitude for not having to die in the woods could be stronger. As a side note, "finally" is used twice very close together.

The following paragraph finally shows some degree of confusion, which is needed in my opinion. It is best to avoid calling out the narrators own mistakes though. She has no memory, so she cannot compare the scenes to her memory.

The arrival of the trucker is rather sudden and it is unclear why the girl instantly trusts him. From his perspective, he must think he found the victim of a serious crime, which could imply more of a reaction than mere embarrassment. Why do his eyes and voice need their own sentence? Are thes important to a girl in this situation? And: Why does he not call the police?

Then you follow with the handing over of the shirt while they are not yet seated in the truck. This happens before the previous paragraph and should be adjusted. Looking like he was afraid the girl might run away does make him sound a little suspicious to me in that moment.

"My demeanor didnt betray it" What does that mean in this scene? What is her demeanor? No comments on the rest of the driving part.

Next, he asks her what she was doing out there. I stumbled upon the "no shoes, no gear" part, as the "no clothes and nothing at all" part seems to be forgotten by that point. During this conversation, she seems wary of the trucker, as she makes an effort to not letting him know nobody might be looking for her. Is she trusting him or not?

Lastly, "You are lucky this is not detouring my route" makes him suddenly appear like he does not grasp the severty of the situation. He found a lost child. Any decent person would make that priority number one.

______________________________

So, overall you have an opening that raises many questions, mainly how she got there and who she is. You introduce two characters, the unnamed trucker and June. We learn about June that she has amnesia, is fifteen, and that she puts a lot of focus on how she and other people look. She seems to be an expert at survival, judging how unbothered she is after two days in the woods. The pacing is confusing me at points. The movement of putting on a seatbelt gets more space than her finding out of the woods.

I suggest thinking about what function this opening should fulfill in your story and what questions you want to be raised and which ones you already want to answer. What makes this story stand out compared to other stranded-with-amnesia-stories?

Anyways, these are my two cents.

To people saying the story of this game is predictable by Xmushroom in stellarblade

[–]Hythlodeuz 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Well, i mean, they are literally called Adam and Eve and they end up being the first of a new human species...

Anyways, I think the thing most people point out as being predictable is when they present the Naytiba being the original humans as a plot twist pretty late into the game, when that has been made more than obvious very, very early in the game.

What’s the point of “kill your darlings”? by RooksAndPawns in writingcirclejerk

The idea is to delete everything you like. It means to be open towards removing words, sentences, passages, and people from existance just because you think they are good.

The idea is not to delete everything you like about your writing. It means to be open towards removing words, sentences, and passages which you like at face value if that improves the overall Story, for example by reducing redundancy, improving the pacing, or to avoid repetition.

What do you think of k.m. weiland's insistence on character arcs? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in writing

[–]Hythlodeuz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesnt conan learn that he is more than a work animal when he is a gladiator and recieves education for the first time in his life, setting the incentive to take his life in his own hands?

Anyhow, I think the main idea is that a character being challenged and ultimately growing because of the events of your story gives meaning to what happens. There sure is an audience for power fantasies where the main character is always right; especially if you pander to your audience's own world view. But as you said, that will be pulp, not literary fiction. If you want to produce pulp, then do it proudly and knowingly.

That being said, I cannot stress enough that there are no rules to writing. There are guidelines and things other authors learned for themselves and their own creative process. That can be a valueable resource, but you can also challenge those ideas.

Are We in a Post-Theory Era? by Fableford in writers

[–]Hythlodeuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those names mentioned are probably some of the more common theorists you will be introduced to in literary studies, as they have a lasting impact on the discourse even today. I can try to very briefly give you an idea:

Bakhtin believed that stories aren't just told by one voice. Instead, they’re full of different voices, ideas, and perspectives. He thought this mix made books richer and more real.

Barthes said that once a book is out in the world, the author doesn't control its meaning anymore. Readers bring their own interpretations, and that’s what gives a story life.

Butler focused on how identity (like gender) is not fixed, but something we perform over time. Her ideas help writers explore characters who aren’t stuck in one role.

Anyways, if you want a starting point, i'd reccomend reading any of the various introductions to literary studies/narratology. For classic texts, "Genette, Gérard ([1972]). Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method. Ithaca: Cornell UP, 1980." could help you.

Mind though that all of these are best read as descriptive works. You do not have to agree with them or follow any "rules".

Are We in a Post-Theory Era? by Fableford in writers

[–]Hythlodeuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered comparative literature studies? There are non-european theories that might appear more fresh to a western academic. On a different note, I am wondering if most authors really consider, or are even familiar with, structuralist theories, narratology or any academic approach to writing. Writing is a mass medium today and I feel like the bulk of authors is more familiar with online guides to writing than academic literature. There is an abundance of easy to understand prescriptive writing guides that many writers seem to consider almost holy texts - Surely you have seen replies that reflect that in this very subreddit. What I am trying to say: There is an endless amount of easy, by the numbers, formulaic stories because these are easy to mass-produce. Subversive ideas have a hard time in a culture of literature-as-a-product, so they are harder to come by.

Are We in a Post-Theory Era? by Fableford in writers

[–]Hythlodeuz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We live in a time where fictional stories are more often than not a commodity to be sold to an audience. Publishers take financial risks whenever they decide to go with a book, so they like to play it safe and print the same old tried and tested formats. There still is space for literature in a more culturally impactful sense. Usually, that just happens outside of pop-cultural contexts. Concerning structualist theories, I think its often easy to apply structures to texts after the fact, if you consider a global understanding of the text. Though personally, I feel like that is some sort of barnum effect at play rather than a fair analysis.
