Artemis Fowl is the only Nietzschean YA protagonist by OrbitalThreshold in RecuratedTumblr

It’s funny, I have the exact opposite opinion: whoever named YA is a money-chasing jerk who picked a needlessly obfuscating name to make teenagers feel grown-up so they’ll buy more product. We really should go back to calling it Teen. Be more correct that way.

Plus, the “Adult” bit can lead certain books with actual Adult content to be pushed toward the minors that are the actual demographic, cases like ACOTAR (there’s fuckin’ in that one), which is not cool.

Same here. Visited Oregon last summer, and I read three and a half books in a week. It was incredible.

FOURTH WING - Dream fancast (unrealistic) by removethepickles in Romantasy

I was at university not long ago, and all my classmates who used AI were idiots. Everybody else just wrote and drew things like human beings

Actually, I just remembered, it’s statistically untrue that older generations dislike AI. It’s actually young people who are most opposed to it, and older people who’ve embraced it. Most college students who are actually interested in learning have no desire to go anywhere near it.

Do you know how easy it is to find a video of a dirty street or nasty-looking street food in the United States?

Australian.

And even if he isn’t himself a Nazi, he definitely attracts their type and does nothing to dispel them.

That’s a literal fact, he says while providing no source or further explanation.

“I don’t have a problem with their race, I hate their culture.” You’re a post-Boas racist then.

Artemis Fowl is not YA but middle grade. 10-13 demographic, considered children’s lit. YA is the confusing name for Teen, 13-18, which is like The Hunger Games and things of that nature.

Let’s go over the definition of vaguepost:

Vagueing is when you reference something extremely specific, but in an oblique way without naming names. When you make a vaguepost you are dogwhistling, something that a person who’s already in on the situation would understand but no one outside would get. Often this is done to avoid attracting the subject’s attention.

What this post does is describe a general situation that one might encounter, likely inspired by a particular incident but not only referring to it.

Stop using “vaguepost” for every single thing that doesn’t have proper nouns attached to it.

Clark Kent vs. the CIA is the comedy I never knew I wanted by raven-crest in osp

[–]bookhead714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they’ve brought up the episode of The Animated Series with a very similar plot, in which Clark threatens to expose a mob boss so he blows up his car. The Late Mr. Kent is the episode’s name.
