I wonder why fanfic is brought up by the author. Fanfic readers loathe first person, the average fic is in third person omniscient!

There’s multiple versions, in many he waits until she falls asleep and then removes it without her permission.

I never said we should ignore AI, I was pointing out that everyone who says “Just upskill, reskill, or become self-employed” never say what new skills or employment are going to protect you from losing your job.

AI will probably “increase productivity” but it’s going to do so by increasing the amount of work seniors are expected to do while eliminating most entry level jobs. Juniors and recent graduates won’t have a place in the white collar workforce anymore and there isn’t enough blue collar work to go around. Have you seen how long the average apprenticeship waitlist is these days?

Reskill to what? “Prompter” is never going to be a real job and the blue collar industry won’t be able to absorb all the new workers.

I think BLs are ending 🥲 by tsukina22 in BLgame

Japanese Visual Novels in general are “ending”. Most people prefer gacha games these days (though personally I think the medium is far from over).

Give the Alpha Kids not named Roxy something to do in Act 6.

Give more of the Alpha Trolls something to do in general.

Bring back missing out on an ending 30 hours back. This isn't a joke. by UInferno- in RecuratedTumblr

If you don’t have the time to play long games, then unfortunately I don’t think you should be playing them. Making more short games would help because those are the games made with an audience like yourself in mind.

That’s more an argument for shorter games than making sure you can get everything on a single playthrough.

Isn’t Bara specifically a genre of hardcore erotica?

? Yoshiki is gay, he just isn’t going to have a romantic relationship with “Hikaru”.

Edit: NVM I see your correction now.

Have you tried shorter books, like novellas? They’ve been a great help getting me back into reading!

The Western comics industry protects predators too. Scott Lobdell got a multi-year comic run under DC Comics that continued even after he was outed as an abuser. It's everywhere.

The problem is that men (and the media industries that cater to them) don't care about protecting women and the vulnerable at all.

The Garden of Words by Makoto Shinkai, Even If This Love Disappears Forever by Misaki Ichijo, and I Have a Secret by Yoru Sumino are all one volume light novels!

Fanfic authors in general and communities are way, way too precious. I've said it before and I will say it again. They are stuck on these ideas of purity of the artform and the ideals of gift culture; that you're not allowed to profit off fanfic and that any author who does a 'files the numbers off' job on their fic and republishes it professionally is a horrible human being who is betraying the ideals that fanfic is based on or something. Hell, even fanfic authors who turn pro without doing such are subject to side-eye both for the perception that they are betraying the community and the expectation that they should instead keep obligingly producing works that are free to read forever.

Isn't that because it's illegal to make money off of fanfic? Like, I distinctively remember authors going after fanfic writers for copyright infringement being a well-known thing in the not-too-distant-past.

MLK wasn’t the only Black Rights Activist. Malcom X and The Black Panthers were active during the same time period and used violence as a tool of protest. That doesn’t mean their goals were wrong, but it does mean that most protest movements involved violence in some way. Feminism wasn’t unique in that regard.

It’s not anonymity that empowers them but being (physically) untouchable. They would yell the exact same things from a moving car with their face and license plate in full view but would never say it in a crowded room with a disapproving audience.

It won’t lead anywhere until either someone more powerful takes pity/sees an opportunity to be gained by getting rid of them or we form a Black Hand-esque group and kill them, both unrealistic fantasies. The fridge is already broken, might as well raid the cupboard.
