  • God. If the story is about a young guy living in with his mother/stepmother, then it's not really a female protagonist story now, is it?

    If it is from the perspective of the guy, then obviously not. Did someone accidentally mislabel their story?

    ...I suppose you could make the argument that the story might be from the POV of a male character but that the "real" protagonist that we follow is a different female character. Much like Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency mainly has the other guy as the POV character, but the story revolves around Dirk Gently and they are the real main character.
    We must petition authors to change all male characters to John and all female characters to Jessica in every story. All of them.

    Jane is the superior female name. I will also accept Mary, though the extra syllable puts her at a disadvantage.
    I swear if I hear the words “politically motivated” one more time this week, whatever the context….

    For guys saying people are too sensitive, far right guys get really butthurt when asked to explain what their points actually are.

    It is hilarious to see how easily triggered many of the Far-Right/whatever folks are whenever something that doesn't suit their world view happens. GamerGate in particular only ever did two things: "complain about women" and "claim that they do more than just complain about women."
    I've sucked a guy's dick once. And yet, football has to be some of the gayest shit I've ever seen.

    Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu are even worse. The only sports I've seen where SA is an accepted strat. I had to stop training Jiu Jitsu because they're so fond of doing 'oil checks'.

    You know, the people who talk about leftist snowflakes, spend a lot of time crying about how someone said mean words to them one time.

    People who lack empathy cannot understand someone else's perspective, so they often assume people all have they same motives and reactions they do, to the same stimuli.
    I fell for an internet scam today. I swear I used to be smart. Locked cards changed passwords. Probably won’t get my steam back though.

    That's a nightmare. So many accounts are connected nowadays that losing one means you have to go through everything to make sure you haven't forgotten some way for scammers to buy something with your cards.

    In my experience, Steam support is really fast and really reliable. So unless your email was hacked as well, there's still hope.

    Been there! Always used to think "no way this will ever happen to me" and then it happened to me.
    It's incredible there's people still convinced Musk has any idea what the hell he's doing.

    People really want their real life Tony Stark, even if he doesn't actually invent anything and crashes billion dollar companies.

    He's a glorified con artist. It's pretty impressive people are only just waking up to that now.
    Taken up Nier Automata to see if it lives up to the hype…honestly? Okay. Only okay.

    I hear the really cool stuff is in the later endings and what have you, that it's a pretty back-loaded game. Anyway, that's just what I heard.
    I’m sick of people telling themselves “No! I’m inspiring you” by going “Just stop being being depressed. Stop it, right now! I told you to!”

    And the people who are "Life gets better when you make it better!"

    Yes! Surely I have the means of getting a therapist and getting my shite together at 20.
    Why is every superhero thing now, my hero academia? That's the only superhero thing that exists. Nothing else. Nobody's sick of it.

    ...unless it makes a fuckton of money, in which case, a sequel that's just re-doing the first movie is demanded.

    In all honesty? OCs and Waifus. It has a setting where you can just say "this power exists because Quirk" (similar to how you had a lot of X-Men OCs in the 90s because "this power exists because Mutant") and... well... lotta people like the frog.

    I have not seen MHA.
    I am still on the stage of reading fanfiction based on Grimdark web serries 'Worm' - about how realistic heroes would look like... it's kinda depressing reading fan fiction of it... and I am yet to get to the main story.
    I feel the urge to try bringing back my old projects but feel like the minute I do, everything that can go wrong, is going to go wrong.

    Understandably we are our own worst critics. But trying to jump into old projects can be off putting...

    I'd say that it's best to throw caution into the wind and just wing it. Ignore anything your brain says, and just keep on writing.

    It can be intimidating to restart something that froze up for one reason or another. But personally I feel it's worth it to try.

    Kinda forgot about you, if I was to be honest.

    Haven't heard a word since May. Hope you're well.
    When I type something and realize I got one word or mistake wrong, instead of editing the part, I erase the whole sentence and rewrite it.

    That is really slowing the work. I have a similar problem. Have you tried to just write everything you had to write, without re-reading it. Only after finished writing, recheck for mistakes.
    For those unaware, I changed my screename, partly for security reasons, partly because I feel like taking on a kind of new identity.
