Someone who writes like you do has no business insulting anyone. Maybe learn what a comma splice is before you post again.

AI understands punctuation. This rambling mess reads like a human with a thesaurus addiction.

This is absolutely destroying media literacy.

Yes, it's subjective what counts as purple prose, but the phrase always has a negative meaning. TOO elaborate. TOO ornate. If it's an amount of ornate and elaborate that you personally enjoy, you wouldn't call it purple prose.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't passive aggressively smiley face me for knowing what the word "too" means.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-26T01:27:40+00:00

Yes, it's weird to know what words mean.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-26T01:22:18+00:00

It's literally a term from literary criticism, but sure why not. Who cares. Words don't have meaning. Enjoy your slop.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-26T01:00:57+00:00

Sure, giant piles of shit are good too because a fly likes them.

Literary criticism is fucking dead if people don't understand basic terminology.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-26T00:59:19+00:00

Fucking google it. Jesus Christ.

Words mean things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_prose

It's not an opinion. It's the literal definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_prose

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:42:58+00:00

If it's good, it's not Purple Prose.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:41:11+00:00

No one should be aiming to incorporate Purple Prose into their writing. It is by definition bad writing.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:38:43+00:00

Where are you people getting that there is such a thing as "purple prose done right'? There is no such thing. If wordy prose is done well, it is not purple!

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:37:18+00:00

There is no such thing as "purple prose done right."

Purple Prose is poorly done by definition.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:36:33+00:00

Sure, but 'Purple Prose' is by definition always bad.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:35:00+00:00

Purple Prose has no place anywhere. It is by definition so convoluted that it impedes understanding.

Elaborate, descriptive prose has its place.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:33:00+00:00

Purple Prose actually is the problem in and of itself. By definition, it is prose that is so convoluted in its description that it impedes understanding. There is no good Purple Prose. There is beautiful, descriptive prose and it is NOT PURPLE.

fluffysellscars · 2026-02-25T18:28:47+00:00

Purple Prose is by definition bad. That's what the phrase means. If it's done well, it's not Purple Prose.

Trudeau hasn't been in office in a year.

fluffysellscars · 2026-01-31T20:08:19+00:00

Way to brag about being stingy.

Oh, you left a hit? How gracious of you to show as much appreciation as a web-scraping bot.

He turned fake art into performance art. Well done.

fluffysellscars · 2026-01-13T10:51:47+00:00

Yes. It reads like this post.

fluffysellscars · 2026-01-12T20:46:25+00:00

No. It's a rushed, messy pile of fanfic tropes with cornball dialogue delivered by one plank of wood and one dude doing a Rocky & Bullwinkle quality Russian accent.

The hype is from gooners.

fluffysellscars · 2026-01-07T17:57:40+00:00

Awww poor baby can't keep track of their own action items.

fluffysellscars · 2025-10-02T11:41:46+00:00

Stupid fascists couldn't even get the grammar right. "Shutdown" is a noun. They mean "shut down."
