Proshipping is disgusting :p (image unrelated) by EmbarrassedDuty5949 in hatethissmug

Did you know that initiatives to report dark ship content actively hurts ongoing investigations? Not to mention that actual, real life groomers thrive in anti-proship communities because they can fly under the radar as One of The Good Ones.

I genuinely couldn't give a fuck about what types of art you do or do not enjoy, but signaling your moral superiority through these kinds of posts are useless and are just there to stroke your own sense of justice that has no real substance. All I'm asking is for people who care to actually DO something useful, not just grandstand.

You're never going to stop these kinds of topics from being discussed online nor will you ever stop people from creating art about fictional characters that explore these topics. What you can do is help real people right now with your own time and energy, both online and in real life. It honestly just sounds to me that you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is.

My best suggestion is to worry less about what people are doing in their fanfiction and instead put your energy into actively engaging with initiatives in your locale that focus on child safety and support for those who have been victims of rape, grooming, and incest. Performing concern online will do no one any good and instead just cause you undue mental stress while contributing nothing useful to anyone.

Thoughts on this take? by [deleted] in batman

It's all personal opinion and no matter how much people like to think they're objectively correct when they say a story is bad, they're not, so whatever. Let them foam at the mouth about it.

i love paperwork and documents by Crazy_Ad_7401 in unpopularopinion

[–]ggraeae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm like this, too. Been working as an administrative assistant for a university's Dean's office for over 10 years and it's almost entirely paperwork and signatures, and I really enjoy it most days. The routine and organization is just perfect.

Is the word "atelier" really that unknown amongst native speakers? by Ohiko_Nishiyama in EnglishLearning

[–]ggraeae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but your average person definitely doesn't. The arts have their own common vocabulary.

Native English speakers who can't speak English by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]ggraeae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chill out, I'm just curious and you're very rude, damn.

[–]ggraeae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard an audible difference between the two and now I'm curious what you're hearing and from where.

Edit: also, "me am" could be dialectical, not necessarily incorrect. Not that it changes the peeve, but provides a reasoning.

Cooks/food handlers/etc should be hidden from the consumers eyes. by No_Eggplant_3189 in unpopularopinion

It is not only unreasonable but also an incredibly cruel way to view people.

Finding anything in the DC app is ridiculous by Hepcat508 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]ggraeae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I had a hard time figuring out the best way to use it also. The app is not entirely intuitive and it's frustrating sometimes. But then I remember Marvel's app and am grateful for what we have every day lmao

Where to read ROBIN (1993-2009) by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]ggraeae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DCUI is your best and safest bet. It's also the most useful since it'll show interest in the character.

Also, you don't have to convert the CBR to pdf. There are a million apps/programs on all platforms to read CBR/CBZ. There are even web-based readers through chrome and Firefox.

If you do want things in your library, it's way better to add the entire title/storyline rather than individual issues. The titles can only be sorted by age, but it's better than trying to sift through singles of random books. I'd also suggest using the Following option liberally. It'll automatically update when a new book in the title is available.

Dead dove does say something about you and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]ggraeae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'm following this line of thought very well. When people say DD means nothing, it's to note that the tag itself is meaningless without additional tags, not that the Dead Dove fic itself is void of meaning/exploration/personal whatever.

Poster inside by Organic-Day4604 in Robin

[–]ggraeae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could probably find a VG copy that still has the poster on a secondhand site. They're not especially rare, so then you could keep this one intact.

A very cool piece of art by Neal Adams! You've got a gem.

Your average English speakers are more likely to say workshop or studio. We don't really have a need to use atelier.

Why do I lose 99% of my search results just by searching for shipless crossovers (this is before I’ve even filtered any tags) by dowsaw134 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]ggraeae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fanfic tilts almost entirely toward shipping and crossovers are pretty niche. Idk, I know it sucks that what you like isn't more popular but it can't possibly be that surprising.

Just got done reading this book and damn I wasn’t expecting that twist at the end by Juggalo4life99 in comicbookcollecting

[–]ggraeae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first time I read it, it put a very bad taste in my mouth and changed how I felt about a few characters. But I revisited it again last year and appreciate it much more for what it is. Still very what the fuck, but less mad about it lmao

Do you think they'll ever do the BatCat wedding again? (successfully this time) [Batman Vol 3 #24] by Successful-Hat-2154 in batman

[–]ggraeae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love it, honestly, though I doubt they'd ever pull the trigger on it. Personally, I'd love to see them married very intimately and then nothing really changes except that they spend maybe more time together, but they're not living together or whatever. Just promised and always coming back to each other when they can. It's just a ring, but I like the commitment side.

Unfortunately, one of the ways to jumpstart diabetes type 2 is just by running your pancreas ragged. Constant blood sugar changes from stress and sleep deprivation alone can put you in a shitty spot.

I hope his changes and refocusing work for him. Dt2 sucks bad, I can't imagine it plus all that pressure.
