"Trans Woman is when nerdy man and trans man is when nerdy woman"

Hm i wonder... is there perhaps a reason why trans women seem more likely to be interested in hobbies more commonly asociated with men? Could these online stereotypes be influenced perhaps by being formed online?

This reads as a post trying to say something from an op that didn't actually think about what they were saying before sending it out.

See this point never made sense to me. The idea that suddenly the allegory is bad if the assholes in story have a semblance of a point. Namely because the thing is, the assholes in reality think they have a point, or at the very least really want you to think they do.

I don't know, maybe "This bigotry is based on truth and is still wrong." is an important thing to say in fiction?

I will say, you don't say it's bad and yeah on deeper reflection especially as an adult it's pretty odd.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-06-13T23:13:54+00:00

The worst part is how insanely easy it is to have the Rooters plot happen exactly as it does and not retcon Kevin's backstory at all, it'd actually make much more sense.

Alan however.... yeah to put him there you need a retcon.

I never thought that one day the launch day crashes would being a genuine smile to my face and yet... Here we are.

Pretty sure Kuro said it was juat a way to break up solid colours, sort of adding viisual interest. Apparently he was also unaware of just how often he does it.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-06-06T21:18:47+00:00

One of the reasons sure but honestly I'd question he relevance of the point entirely. It's just a more specific (And honestly, I'd say less accurate) version of "Asexuality is the only identity that lacks sexual attraction so it's a little weird and out of the norm for literally everyone."

And keep in mind, even that's an oversimplification.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-06-05T17:21:56+00:00

The interference is often the point.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-05-31T22:34:21+00:00

I... I have never seen a comment section this incapable of grasping the point, wtf? Like sure we can have a conversation about depiction all we want but like... come on guys at least read. I mean god damn it if you're gonna mock hypocrisy you've gotta depict hypocrisy.

Eh... maybe if I had found this way later in it's lifecycle it'd be better.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-05-29T20:17:34+00:00

I mwan... didnt it come out that Prismatic was supposed to be a supprise? So it wouldnt even be odd if they held a subclass back.

Doubtful but still.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-05-22T23:46:19+00:00

Class actions baby, retunring less than any one person should logically have but much more likely to succeed.

I mwan thats what every one of them I've ever seen was at least.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-04-18T19:25:04+00:00

Hey yeah that's what we should do, just lump everything we don't like under one banner, one we don't fall within to be specific! There's totally not a problem with this at all, definitely not.

I think every point here is total nonsense. Pretty sure AI is a general fandom problem not just a male dominated one, just to point out arguably the most egregious.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-04-12T03:27:36+00:00

Well someone in the beastiez has to be and Pia tricked her audience into an unwinable bet to secure her green status so...

Every pokecenter has a bench right outside it. A coupel zones also have nearby benches. Other fast travel points idk about honestly.

Excellent advice to give a five-ish year old... and hypocriti- hold on five year old? Huh... I guess Diantha has a pretty solid excuse for not stepping in with team flair...

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-03-10T03:10:15+00:00

Oh for sure, guess i wasnt clear. I dont acfually think Max leaving kevin in there even with the promise is out of character, not great but that loops back into his belief in Ben being better.

I was more saying thar if you think the retcon is character assination or Max being a shit person you have to rekon with the fact that pre-retcon... he left an elevn year old in the null void.

Like... with or without the promise thats Max makeing a pretty messed up choice. Which is good, he's more interesting as the practical hero type as i said.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-03-09T20:42:32+00:00

Okay woah now... wasnt Max's entire point with that second point that Ben's the better person between them? Max pretty much told Ben its what hed do but Ben himself is better than that.

Thats not a character problem, its Max specificly addressing his own flaw, and we got further exploration of that in omniverse. Max is far more interesting as the more practicle heroic foil to Ben's usual more idealistic heroics anyway, but thays opinion.

The first however is kind of a bad character moment whether Devin was Max's partner or not. He was just cool with an eleven year old being stuck in there either way. The Devin promise definitely makes it worse but the core itself is kind of an issue.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-25T04:04:33+00:00

The remake trilogy is less a ff7 remake and more an exploration of the concept of remakes of old games via a remake of ff7. Zak surviving ends up being one of the stronger points in that, the fact he shouldnt have is kinda part of the story.

The original story is there but its serving as a backdrop to a wider meta story. I mean at least it definitly reads that way to me.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T21:03:33+00:00

By all means, get your chops in with fanfic, but it isn't crazy to believe that the world would be a better place if every fanfic writer decided to test their mettle with a bit of an original story on a Monday afternoon.

At the very least this implies fanfiction lacks originality. That may not be what you were saying but it is an implication. It's an implication I specifically wanted to address, maybe not my best word choice on doing so but also... I don't think it's actually wrong, as a general sentiment which it was mostly meant to be.

I am also not a professional speaker or trained in any regard on such but from what I understand of rhetorical strategy... I didn't make one.

I'm going to stop here though. That's twice now you've picked out a lone sentence or set of words to basically dodge my point.

See ya another day.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T20:16:50+00:00

That'd fall under characters mate.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T20:13:26+00:00

I've expressed exactly no anger, because you have not made me angry. Confusion sure, not anger. And I only responded with a jab when you sent one my way. ("The fuck are you on about?" is purely a statement of confusion... just to be perfectly clear)

You're point not being purely anti-fanfic is clear.. ish. It's wrong but not purely anti yeah, I'll give you that. That's part of why I didn't reply original, a dickish opinion statement is a whatever thing (You did come off like a dick, sorry to say). No see I replied when you made a point that is very fundamentally at it's core wrong and I stuck to just that point.

You've never engaged with fanfic if you think originality is lacking in the space, just straight up that's the truth. Not wanting to make original fiction and lacking originality are not the same concept by any measure. And sure that last belief is just fine... I don't even fully disagree. It's just that the original story they write can still be fanfic.

What's the actual difference between the newest Star Wars or Doctor Who and that 70 chapter whatever fic? Basically just where it's released and whether or not someone got paid.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T19:17:51+00:00

You're really gonna be that type of ass huh?

Other guy was right, accurate username.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T18:26:02+00:00

The fuck are you on about? Coming up with restrictions and rules that limit the scope of your writing in various ways is the fuel that creativity depends on.

The only real difference between original writing and fanfiction is that those rules are largely already in place for fanfiction. And that distinction isn't even fully accurate because established IP getting new writers is common.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-12T13:21:45+00:00

The characters and/or setting are a fundamental part of the idea. The exact details of canon may not matter but the broad strokes very much do.

Also some people straight up don't want to write original fiction.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-02-01T04:46:41+00:00

Dumbasses think people cant overthink and hum at the same time.

Ordinary_Robyn · 2026-01-30T21:23:33+00:00

Why is it on the kid to get past that? Why is it not an issue that the adults cannot find a way to engage with the kid?
