I’m curious as to if a sociologist has compiled the phenomenon that occurs when people aren’t able to reply to a post. A lot get irrationally angry and screenshot the post to reply anyway. It’s weird seeing people’s response to not having access to a complete stranger’s account.
I believe the internet has conditioned people into thinking they parasocially deserve access to complete strangers at all times. If that access is denied it triggers some weird stimuli in the brain to make them find a way to reply anyway.
You can see this with muting and blocking too. “Of course that account blocked me!” Well maybe things need to be said without dealing with the ramblings of rude/ malicious replies.
You deserve to have an opinion. But I also deserve to not hear your opinion, if I don’t want to hear it.
It takes some people literal decades to grasp this concept. You aren’t entitled to have access to others.
People are so obsessed with not aging that they ironically end up aging horribly. A lot of tiktokers are finding out the products that they used to “keep themselves young” in their 20s did the exact opposite. It’s like babe you’re 22 what aging are you concerned about? In the grand scheme of things you just left your cocoon. These makeup, anti-aging, and skin care industries need to be held accountable. They’re brainwashing people into thinking they need this or they’ll age like milk.
Too bad I wrote it anyway.
Hey everyone, would you be interested in a story told from the first-person perspective of a young woman who’s stuck living in a creepy underground town and has to face seriously chilling horrors? Let me know!
This comments section on Twitter is insane. Honestly though it deserves to be called X. Because it’s no longer Twitter.
It’s a place where you have to pay $10 a month to get your comment heard. Moderators that do nothing against reports because they themselves don’t find it offensive that something evil is happening to a person Either that or Ai not recognizing the issue.
AI being trained off every post.
No one I follow is seen. They didn’t pay for the checkmark therefore their post is “meaningless”.
Worst of all is that actual nazis are gaining a foothold on the site. Posting about wanting to do evil things to people and their posts stay up. It’s a fucking mess.
This post on Twitter really sent the Nazis reeling in the comments section. All sorts of cope and seethe happening in the comments section.
That one phineas and ferb episode
You have a brick. It looks like a brick. It feels like a brick. Yet, over the past few days, people have been desperately trying to buy or steal the brick from you. You're starting to feel scared.
For later
**Using the word ‘said’ is absolutely not a bad choice, and in fact, you will want to use it for at least 40% of all your dialogue tags. Using other words can be great, especially for description and showing emotion, but used in excess can take away or distract from the story.

“So you’re a villain, but you only want to take over this small village?” “Yep.” “You don’t have any plans to take over anywhere else?” “Nope.”
Found several packs' worth of pokemon cards strewn across a target parking lot and took a pic to show my friends without realizing how much my outfit elevated the scene to "aftermath of a wizard duel"
“Erm Hollywood/ Gaming Industry/ Music/ publishers don’t make anything original anymore it’s just sequels, remakes, samples, and prequels!”
I’m going to hold your hand when I tell you this:
Support original art outside of existing pillar franchises and labels.
If you remain inactive in supporting new things, everything will stay the same. Studios, producers, and executives only produce games, movies, music, and TV shows if they believe there’s a fanbase for it. Many book publishers won't take risks on picking up an existing series unless they can prove a major return.
I’m done with this stale argument that everything sucks now. If you’re unhappy with the industry, do something about it or stop complaining. Stop hate watching and start engaging with content you enjoy. Take a chance on new content, you might be missing out.
The era of the hate-watching YouTube essay reviewer is slowly ending, and that's a good thing. Don’t let these reviewers, who often don't even watch what they critique, deter you from trying new things. They often have agendas to convince you that only their specific taste of art is worthwhile. They also don’t like a majority of things even indie.
Form your own opinions and seek out new things to enjoy. Deconstructing and hating is easy; constructing and loving is much harder.
My time has come.
Fanfic is a good and healthy part of creative storytelling.
However some of you are depriving the world of great art. Simple because you’re busy working within the copyright of existing art.
This is coming from someone that used to spend years writing fanfic before officially publishing original fiction.
Please publish your own work too. It’s scary but you’ll be better off for it. Especially when your original story starts getting love too.
Nobody knew they needed certain story worlds until someone took the chance and started a new one.
You can still write your fanfics but don’t miss your true calling.
