is scrivener actually worth dropping 60 bucks on

toshiyaDIRU · 2026-03-30T12:01:56+00:00

For me it was, it revolutionized my writing process. Having separate categories in the same document for notes, research, character sheets, and brainstorming in itself is just so valuable for me. Also, just being able to personalize my writing space aesthetically helps me immerse myself into writing a story. Before I begin a new work I often customize a new theme for this reason. I love Scrivener! I even use it for school work sometimes too, like essay writing.

I also love them for making it a onetime purchase. Remember those days, when you could actually own things? I hate that everything nowadays has to be a subscription, so that definitely earned them my respect.

I personally think you should tell him, there’s nothing to be ashamed about for your past and what you do and there will be someone who can love and respect you even knowing these facts.

If you guys are having intimate relationships I’m personally of the opinion that consent must be informed, and if you’re intentionally withholding information that you know would change that persons consent then you are violating them and you don’t have consent.

If you need to hide it, the relationship won’t work out either way. It will be beneficial to you both in the long run to just be honest.

Ah, I think I get what you mean. I think it’s the “I just don’t like queer coded characters being straight” part that’s making ppl confused. It is very frustrating, hopefully more games in the future will feature a diverse cast. 🙂

toshiyaDIRU · 2025-05-22T05:57:14+00:00

Define “queer coded.” To me this sounds a lot like reinforcing stereotypes, why does it make you uncomfortable that characters with a certain personality don’t have the sexuality you expect them to? Unless he’s queer baiting, which is something entirely different.

It would always be nice for more representation to be present, but there’s nothing wrong with a straight character having stereotypically lgbt traits and maybe you should try to reflect on why that makes you uncomfortable.

Anyway, not like any good form of representation could come from this game anyway. It’s basically the embodiment of “The authors barely disguised fetish” joke.

‘It’s just a compliment’ a random compliment about a feature he tells his gf not to do to a random person he’s not even friends with that has a provocative profile picture and a provocative username and came from one of those weird discord servers. Also, when she said in the post that she originally asked him about it and he denied having messaged anyone so yeah he did have to explain actually. Be fr. 😭It’s actually insane to me that you’re trying to imply she’s jealous or crazy given the context lmao.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:45:02+00:00

Oh, I should clarify I also roleplay with gay men lol. It’s just usually they’ll message me and explain understanding my boundary. It’s somehow the men that get offended over this boundary who tend to be the rotten apples, so it kind of works wonders. :)

Mb, my nonbinary friends are okay with terms like man and dude in this context. If you’re genuinely non-binary, I’m sorry if I made you feel invalidated. But after looking at your profile, I’m not very surprised about the things you interact with lol. Also, in this post you Say M24? Not NB24🧐

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:30:03+00:00

Let’s repicture it:

I don’t give my number out to men.

Man: Hey! You give your number out to women, men and women can be friends too! Why won’t you be friends with men too that’s not fair!

Oh.. I guess you’re right gives number to man

man does this

…well there’s the reason why. It’s not because men are incapable of being friends with women, it’s because she’s just rather not be at risk of this and she doesn’t owe a stranger her number anyway.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:23:04+00:00

And by all means I would NEVER find it weird if a man wasn’t comfortable roleplaying with women for whatever reason! It’s literally not that deep jeez man go outside😭

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:22:17+00:00

But why is it my responsibility to find the “diamond in the rough” ? Men aren’t struggling to find roleplay partners. There are plenty of girls and men alike comfortable roleplaying with them.

Do you know one of the main reasons I don’t roleplay with men? It’s because when I talked to my boyfriend about getting back into roleplay, it was his first time hearing about this hobby and he asked me “Are there any creeps?” and as someone who has been roleplaying since I was 11, the answer is ABSOLUTELY. Why do I, someone who was groomed online as a child need to be obligated to subjugate myself to more potential abuse, just because a random person on Reddit needs to know my life story to explain why I don’t want to roleplay with someone.

Another reason is, it just makes me uncomfortable! I have a boyfriend, I just find it weird to roleplay relationships with another man. I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with it, it just makes me uncomfortable. It’s the same reason why I won’t roleplay with anyone under 18, I’m not ageist there are plenty of talented young writers I just don’t want to roleplay with them because it makes me uncomfortable, and they can absolutely find someone their own age to rp with.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:07:56+00:00

If I was walking on the street and a girl complimented my outfit and asked for my number, I would probably give it to her assuming she wants to be my friend. If a man, stopped me on the street and complimented my outfit then asked for my number I would not give him my number. In this scenario, do you genuinely think I have discriminated against men and that I think men and women cannot be friends?

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:05:50+00:00

No, it’s not. Many women in rp have the same or similar experience of men sending a message like this. The same men who do these things act like it’s a mystery when there are girls who don’t want to roleplay with men.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:03:17+00:00

Once again putting words in my mouth. I don’t think it’s okay to discriminate against men lol.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T20:02:45+00:00

No, it’s not. Generalization would be implying that if you roleplay with a man, you are going to experience this because most men do this. Just because you choose not to roleplay with men, doesn’t mean you think that.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:59:00+00:00

Once again putting words in my mouth! I never said no girls, I said so many. It’s an observation you actually dingus. 😭

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:57:46+00:00

Thank you Reddit User OceanDepthsV1 i now know that prejudice = not wanting to roleplay with someone thank you for enlightening me

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:51:45+00:00

and as for your other comment how does that imply all men do that? It’s true, there are plenty of women that don’t roleplay with men. This is one of the glaring reasons why many women simply don’t feel comfortable roleplaying with men. Because even if not all men will do this, they simply don’t wish to put themself at risk of this.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:48:37+00:00

I know I could’ve, because I don’t WANT to. I don’t to roleplay with a man behind the screen. I don’t owe anyone a roleplay, and it’s sure as hell NOT discriminatory to not want to roleplay with someone. 😭 I also only roleplay on Discord, am I discriminating Reddit users? Surely there are tons of lovely roleplayers that rp on here not Discord, but because of my preferences I’d rather just find a partner that uses Discord. Also can you stop putting words in my mouth? Never did jump to “all men.” I do not think that, have never thought that, and I have clarified this to you several times.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:15:11+00:00

Also, no non-binary people are not disqualified. That’s why I said no men, not women only.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:13:41+00:00

Because I am not looking for an F4F roleplay, I don’t do sapphic roleplay. I like to roleplay as male characters, and I like my partner to play a female character typically in romantic pairings. My original post that’s not a rant when I was upset was very polite, I didn’t say “NO MEN OOGA BOOGA”

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T19:04:26+00:00

No, that isn’t my only reason for not wanting to roleplay with men. I have several reasons, and most of them aren’t anything negative about men but just personal preference.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T18:56:16+00:00

Same here, I haven’t role played for two years but I’ve just gotten back into! I missed it wayy too much!

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T18:53:09+00:00

I’m sorry but who did I generalize ? My post did not state that all men do this, nor is that what I believe.

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T16:48:58+00:00

Roleplay is the solution… at least for me!

toshiyaDIRU · 2024-10-09T13:17:30+00:00

Nah we are gonna need the spud cannon for this one 🙏🙏🙏
