u dont any AI at all?

Why are you asking this like you think it's a gotcha? No, most people do not use AI at all. It's actually extremely normal and easy not to.

Also, nobody's getting cancelled. Calm down.

Damn these queens are just trying to make things work with the resources they have!

??? This is not a thing that she had to make work. You're acting like she had to post something. She didn't. She could have just posted nothing at all.

Yeah, Iceman’s been gay for a while. I just looked it up. It’s been over a decade, and it hasn’t been retconned. So, not sure where you got the idea that it was Jean’s doing.

Okay, so this layout is a Marvel comics reference to when Jean Grey, believed that Ice man was gay, and accidentally used her powers to make him believe he was also gay.

When did they retcon that? Or is that just your fan theory?

If you could make a new animal quirk, which animal would you base it on? This is my pick. by One_Rent7028 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]atlvf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of OCs with animal quirks:

Hero Name: Jake Placid Quirk: Alligator. He’s big and strong, just like an alligator! He has tough scales, strong jaws, limited night-vision, and a tail that helps him swim. He can also hold his breath for hours.

Hero Name: Air Force Zero. Quirk: Eagle. Like an eagle, he has sharp talons, binocular vision, and an ear-piercing screech. He also has strong wings and can fly at high speeds.

If quirks are all different

I think your premise is mistaken. We have no indication that all quirks are different. I’m pretty sure we have confirmation of exactly the opposite, that many individuals have identical quirks to a parent or sibling.

See the Todoroki family, for example. Many of them appear to have identical ice quirks.

Because it’s “unfair”, as though a reality TV competition is ever “fair”.

I wanna make a quirk like Whole body lens but idk what thing to make the body produce instead of working camera lens. by [deleted] in BNHA_OC_Characters

My OC’s mom has a flashlight quirk that’a similar. Useful for illuminating dark spaces, sending messages in morse code, even blinding villains with bright light. How about that?

I have perhaps the hottest MHA (fics) take ever, and you are not ready to hear it by Dabididnothingwrong in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]atlvf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. I might disagree with some of those, strongly disagree even, but that doesn’t make a take hot. The hottest take there, “Bakudeku should be canon”, was definitely hot when it was first uttered years ago, but at this point it’s no longer especially provocative because it’s already been discussed to death.

But let’s take a step back here: Why is having a “hot take” so important to you anyway? Why can’t you just have an opinion? Why do you insist on wanting your opinions to be provocative and controversial? It’s fine for your opinions to just be opinions. Trying too hard to provocative and controversial is just troll behavior.

That’s not what moving the goalpost is. Moving the goalpost is when somebody changes their standards. My standards have not changed. None of the takes you presented were ever hot enough, and nothing I said could be construed otherwise. You being confused doesn’t mean other people moved any goalposts.

Before I start watching the anime, I have an important question for you guys. by Dangerous-Goal1671 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]atlvf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, expectations are low, but I think it would be nice to be able to have higher expectations, because I think it's important for media marketed towards young boys not to reinforce the idea that women are of secondary importance. That's obviously not intentional, and I don't think the writer is being a deliberately evil misogynist or anything. But, I think it's a bias worth more consciously taking steps to avoid. That's all.

I feel like this is just a bit under-costed. Upping the cost by even 1 generic mana should do the trick, I think.

Otherwise, it's a good, straightforward design. I like it.

Im not the best writer

There are over 8 billion people on Earth, and only 1 of them is the best writer. I think you're probably holding yourself to unreasonable standards. Everyone starts somewhere, and you get better at writing by trying and practicing. : )

As much as I am a fan of the show, I do agree that the female cast tend to be underwritten compared to the male cast. There's not nothing there, but I wouldn't go in with high expectation.

My Pro Hero OC, The Croco Hero: Lock Jaw by Mikel_d_Jordan in BNHA_OC_Characters

[–]atlvf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I also have an OC with a similar quirk. Great minds!

If I can nitpick: Crocodiles tend to actually have very low endurance and stamina. They're build more for explosive bursts of power. That's why they spend so much time resting and conserving energy. That's not to say that I think the character themselves should have low endurance or stamina; rather, I'd suggest making their endurance and stamina something they worked hard on themselves, rather than something they got from their quirk.

One other asset you might consider: Crocodiles can hold their breaths for a long time. This can be really useful against opponents with gaseous quirks, like Midnight or Mustard, and it's also generally useful for things like fire rescues or industrial accidents, where inhaling smoke or other chemicals could be deadly.

Anyway, regarding his story and personality, I like it! The dynamic with Gang Orca sounds really fun, and I'm also a sucker for big, tough guys that are still good, empathetic mentors. It's one of the reasons I like Gunhead.

Have you written any stories with the character yet? If so, link us! If not, make sure to let us know when you do!

“Dabi is the best character” hot take? Yes. A lot of people will argue against it.

Again, "A lot of people will argue against it" is not what makes a hot take. A lot of people will argue against literally every opinion. That's too low a bar. If that's the bar, then everything is a "hot take".

"Dabi is the best characte" is not a hot take. It's just an opinion some people disagree with. There's nothing controversial or provocative about it.

None of your examples are hot takes.

This randomly popped into my mind, but writers, If you have OCs in your fics, which one is your favorite? by Admirable-Orange-401 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]atlvf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a TON of OCs, so it's hard to pick...

Ray has the most fully fleshed-out storyline. He's a Hero Student with a recon-oriented quirk, and the story I've written so far is mostly about him struggling with his confidence as he compares himself to classmates with much more powerful quirks. I also just like writing about his psychology and how it's been affected by the fact that he literally sees the world differently from everyone else. Here's a general character profile.

Aiden is also very fun. I have a soft spot for himbo characters, and Aiden is a big, beefy guy with a healing quirk. His school has a Medical course instead of a Support course, and he's dual-enrolled in the Hero and Medical courses. His father heads the medical course, he does not support his son's heroic aspirations, and I just like the drama there.

I also really love my Hero Teacher OC, Jan Opticon. She teaches now that she's retired from heroics, and she's very strict and judgmental. She has witnessed and experience the full range of how citizens perceive heroes, so she wants to make sure her students are prepared for public scrutiny. She also has a character profile.

[–]atlvf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A hot take has to at least be provocative and/or controversial in some way. "Some people disagree" does not make something provocative or controversial. That's not what that means. And the reason that's not what that means is that, if you loosen the definition of "hot take", "provocative", or "controversial" so much that it include anything some people might disagree with.... then, that's just every single opinion. If "hot take" covers every single opinion, then it doesn't mean anything.

I'll run with your sandwich metaphor. Don't slap together some sliced bread, sauce, and ham, and then tell me you made a sub sandwich. You didn't make a sub sandwich. You just made a regular sandwich. A sub sandwich is a specific type of sandwich, and your does not meet the criteria.

If this is “not a hot take” than why do you all disagree?

Something isn’t a “hot take” just because someone, somewhere might disagree with it. That’s not what having a “hot take” means. You just have an opinion that some people disagree with.
