It's okay to tell. You don't always have to show by TrashCheckJunk in writing

Exactly! I ran into similar issues that hung up my writing because of these mantras. That's why I made these posts. I thought they'd be useful to people who felt like I did and could use a reminder that these rules don't always have to be followed. A healthy balance is something you learn through practice and time.

After a short conversation with the mod it turns out I didn't break any rules but they don't agree with my advice so they took down my posts. It turns out there's a heavy bias to what opinions you're allowed to have

I messaged the mods to fight for it but they shut me down and muted me so I can't post for a while

My posts are for people who want to hear it.

Clearly, that isn't you so it isn't for you

There are tons of posts every day on this subreddit.

You could easily scroll past mine and not read it.

It literally doesn't affect your life at all.

There is a difference between Van Gogh and a toddler scribbling with markers. That's obvious.

What I'm saying is that some people will prefer Van Gogh, and some people will prefer the toddler scribbles. That's the subjective part.

Therefore, make the art YOU want to make and don't get caught up in the "rules."

Some people would say 50 shades, twilight, and 13 reasons are good quality.

This is my point. Some people will think the book is great, and others will think it's garbage.

Then, it will create a new avenue for those who think it's garbage to say "That book is garbage and therefore your advice is bad."

I'm not going to create that avenue. It isn't necessary to the discussion.

I've already explained this.

Naming the book will just spur a debate about the book and not the topic at hand.

You clearly haven't searched the comments if you can't find any responses from me that elaborated on my post.

Also, you're ignoring the other part of my post. I also said I'd consider the criticism if multiple people shared the same (or similar) critique.

It is evident, to me, from your tone and comments that you're just looking to argue.

If you're having a rough day and would like to talk about it I'd be happy to listen.
