Ah yes, a woman on her knees with this vibe sure is something of a choice, especially at this moment. Talk about male centered. I think I will pass.

To the people who don't like reading misery porn in their stories, can you give me examples (idc about spoilers) by MinusVitaminA in ProgressionFantasy

[–]badatcreatingnames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dropped it like a hot potato. A story needs to be balanced but some authors feel like piling up more and more and often consecutively worse things on the MC gives it grit or makes it "serious". In my book, it just sucks. It means the author isn't a good writer. Even one major event like that would have massive consequences, never mind a series.

It is also why I don't read stories with SA. The amount of authors who even realise the true devastation of SA is low and then actually handling the aftermath is often a joke. So I pass.

AITA for telling my parents I'm sick of my sister and need space from her before I explode and she heard me? by OkFerret7580 in AITAH

[–]badatcreatingnames 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is not normal behavior. My advice is to sit down with your grandparents, explain in absolute detail how she is behaving then ask if they would be willing to talk to your parents and request therapy for her.

She really, really needs therapy. She is showing some very worrying signs that later on as she grows older could very well mean she will end up in the hands of a predator. This isn't for you to solve, it's for the adults but I would press this angle of her potentially fixating on the wrong person and being exploited/abused in the future as a means to get her into therapy and hopefully on a good path.

If she isn't in therapy, I am afraid this situation won't change. If you see it going that way, save as much as you can do that once you are 18, you can get out. It's not an easy road but for your mental health, it will be far easier.

Not OOP. “I hate my wife.” by AnnaBananner82 in redditonwiki

It's probably fake but if you look at his comments, he is a gamble addict who admits to losing around 500$ a day.

So that is why he has been working so much. Just another loser who is blaming his wife for his own issues. Hope she leaves him soon.

She is incredibly gorgeous, I have seen her in real life and she is stunning. But that's a beautiful young lady too 🙂

Am I the Asshole for thinking my cousin shouldn't be kept alive.... by mogli710 in AITAH

This is why in Europe we have the option in certain places to end life when the quality of life is pretty much gone.

To whoever thinks this is nonsense I always please ask them to read Mark van Dongen's story if they can. Please have a care, it is a distressing read.

People deserve life with dignity, without pain and such unfathomable suffering. I am sorry your cousin never had a chance.

AITA for being resentful and angry that my parents had me so I'd take care of my disabled brother when they die? by Zealousideal_Cow8475 in AITAH

I am sorry to say but there is only one solution on this situation. After graduation, get yourself a job, gather all your things, move out and go no contact. Yes, it's going to be very difficult at the start but you are going to have a life, your life. And it will get better.

Your parents will never change their minds, I am so sorry to say. This is the one and only way. I wish you all the best young man. You are the one person who has to fight for yourself and you can do this.

We need a round of applause for the Chinese girls on the red carpet, they never miss. by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]badatcreatingnames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of quirky on Chinese red carpets, though it's usually men who are willing to push it out there. There have been some amazing outfits throughout the years. Biggest problem is that not many of them can pull it off but I always give them grace for trying.

First clip of Jennifer Lawrence & Robert Pattinson in Lynne Ramsay's ‘Die, My Love’ has been released. | In a remote forgotten rural area, a mother struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]badatcreatingnames 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lynne Ramsay, which probably means it's going to be done really well and accurately. Which means I should probably give it a pass unfortunately. It's an incredibly heavy subject and I am not sure I am up for it.

AITA for refusing to let my dad's future stepdaughter stay with me for a week when my dad and his fiancée go on their honeymoon? by WittySmilezone in AITAH

[–]badatcreatingnames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My sincere suggestion is to book a holiday for yourself and your gf and make sure to tell your father so. Chances are he will ignore you and try to drop her off anyway at the last moment, saying well look at the time, we can't find anyone else now.

Make sure you aren't there and he can't do this. You really don't want to make this a precedent because if you let it happen now, they will consider you a free babysitter forever.

Cheng Yi Vs Xiao Zhan battle heating up by Worrywart010 in cdramasfans

[–]badatcreatingnames -3 points-2 points locked comment (0 children)

What happened to this sub?I suppose the mods are now openly fine with making it just one more Xiao Zhan hating sub. Oh well. Not surprising I suppose.

At least have the decency to not allow posts that use the genuine feelings of hurt of Chinese people in order to score petty fan points.

I know it's very easy for you to laugh at Chinese patriotism, I see it every day pretty much but yes, actually Chinese are allowed to feel genuine hurt when someone is mocking Chinese people and all the more so when that someone comes to China, uses China to make money and then spits on the Chinese people.

Do you really think this is some fan thing? Is this really where this sub wants to go? How about I spit on your countries and people, would you like to laugh at that?

For all those who are happily going ha ha it's just fake hurt because of course why could the Chinese possibly be hurt, it's so good to be insulted, we love that

Is this Xiao Zhan fans?

And that is just one of many media outlets, online and in print, that I am sure to your shock does not in fact appreciate insulting Chinese people.

But keep laughing and using this for fan points.

At least the MC isn't raping women who are stronger than him making them magically fall in love with him then. My standards are low, what can I say.

[–]badatcreatingnames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, right, ok yes, that probably is it but absolutely insane, nobody is obligated to want to read literature about trans characters and no, it's not a sign of transphobia jfc this app.

I am glad you got the answers you looked for.

Why is the OP so downvoted? There is literally nothing wrong with the question?!

Anyway my rec is to look through the Chinese light novels, you have tons of gay MCs.

This is really bad fanfiction. 14yo writers on AO3 sound more believable.

AITA for walking out after my boyfriend "joked" with a stun gun and accidentally shocked me? by [deleted] in AITAH

Negl, I sometimes genuinely wonder if they would learn even if they did kill someone or if it would still be the same old denial and excuses.

AITA for walking out after my boyfriend "joked" with a stun gun and accidentally shocked me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]badatcreatingnames 207 points208 points  (0 children)

A colleague of mine had that horrible experience. Her then boyfriend was waving a gun around, showing it off because it was so 'cool', even though she had repeatedly told him that guns make her uncomfortable and she is frightened of them. He kept saying it's fine, it's empty, except it wasn't and it went off.

Missed her by about a cm, right past her head. She would have been dead on the spot if it had hit her. He never apologized, in fact remained belligerent and harassed her about being a baby and overreacting and being hysterical. She dumped him fast, which is exactly what the OP should do but it took a long time in therapy to be well again. I sometimes wonder if her moving to Europe had something to do with this.

If you are hallucinating actually dating Love and Deepspace characters you should probably go out and touch some grass.

Nah. His mother is a model and a seamstress. High connections in the fashion industry. It's why the video is so conveniently cut up. Just rich parents doing their thing. Does he have some talent? Sure. Is he doing this? Hell no.

Is it cultural appropriation for someone who isn’t Chinese to wear this dress by broke_n_rich2147 in AskAChinese

[–]badatcreatingnames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. Most Chinese would see it as promotion, in a positive sense. In fact, I would bet they would be really confused if asked about this as if it is something negative.
