empty pastoral cottagecore detached from the context of radical pacifism, anti-propaganda storylines, and ambiguous moralities. Really it's just Disney aesthetic circa 1952, which Miyazaki has always critiqued for being pastoral pastiching without any substance.

I rly think designating ~3000 years of literature across several art forms, countries and languages as one cohesive genre is kind of part of the problem around ‘classics’ discourse. Just because you can read Dorian gray doesn’t mean Beowulf or like Ulysses are going to come easy

a part of why i am allergic to dark academia as a genre/trend/whatever the fuck it's called, is there is a tendency to lionize surviving the gears of an institution built on callous indifference and abuse of its students/faculty/staff.

further to this, porn is a floating signifier used only to repress and make indecent what was previously acceptable. you can't in good faith call something porn unless the creator refers to themselves as a pornographer 🤷🏼♂️
calling mainstream romance novels "porn" isn't just snobbish and stupid. it's reactionary radfem tomfuckery AND it's right-wing propaganda (yes both!) and it should be called out for what it is so plainly that nobody watching could mistake it for a discussion of "taste"

I physically can’t write with pen and paper and have a lot of disabilities and other issues that prevent me from reaching scantier deadlines than 50k words in a month. I’d rather die than plagiarise 🫡🫡🫡
#NaNoWriMo
, the disgraced "write a novel in a month" platform that got exposed for alleged grooming, has now fully embraced using AI to write, even going as far to post an overly aggressive FAQ about it.
Apparently it's ableist AND classist to be against AI.

I think I see a lot of justifications for AI as a collaborator or a tool. You can collaborate with humans without stealing from them. There are actual tools which already exist to aid in writing and development, which will make you a better writer.

In the country where Alan Turing was forced by his government to take hormones to 'fix' his homosexuality in lieu of prison as a thank you for winning WWII, it would have been nearly impossible to include explicit sexuality in a book written in Victoria's time without jailtime!

I’m talking stories in niche anthologies, editorial opps, blurbs etc in addition to material sales and the unpaid labour of many readers and friends to support them. These things were not theirs to take. Others did not get these things because they took them. It’s sickening.

The Pale Blue Eye has a wild concept: 'murder mystery where E.A. Poe is a misunderstood goth boy in military school'. I've not lately seen a movie where a cadre of older established actors are so underwhelming while its young actors are dialed IN, fully committed

'walling you off from advocacy' is the entire issue here. people are very attached to a self-centred narrative where they are the hero. documentation of war crimes is so perpetrators can be punished. so victims are compensated. Not for the comfort or vacillation of 'advocates'.
