Yo that story type is actually trash. Though I don't know why this guy can't sleep at night because of it.
What are you talking about? I even gave you recommendations in that thread.
Because my position is basically that "genocide against an 'inferior race' is bad" and I don't understand how that can be so unpopular that just stating it gets people to gang up on me to insult me on the forum or go to my novel to give me one-star ratings.
As someone that also hates that kind of story type, I'd say it's your approach. People that don't want to think too hard about the moral implications for how a world treats it's background characters aren't going to react kindly to being told the stories they like are complete trash in blocks of text. Simply make your point, and then stop thinking about it once they reject your point.
Yes, this thread was undoubtedly stupid and I wish that there was a way to delete it. I seem to have trouble controlling my anger, which is its own issue...
Well at least you're capable of admitting your own faults. That's good. As far as getting the thread deleted, from what I heard you can request the staff to delete a thread but they might not do it. So it's probably best to ignore any new messages in the thread and let it get buried over time.
You can request the admins to close this, though I doubt they'd close it soon, since it's been a while Tony appeared.
You mean these threads?
Report it and mods will delete it. That's how @AliceShiki taught us to do.
I said shitpost as well. I noticed in those threads there was significantly more discussion about what he wanted to talk about when he wasn't ranting about drama and clickbaiting. So I was right is what you're telling me.You mean these threads?
No, seriously, what's with all the double standards when it comes to fantasy humans?
I don't even know how many times I've seen a story that has humans claim to be superior to 'race' while 'race' claims to be superior to humans, but the author makes the humans say it in an over-the-top rude way (that doesn't sound like the way any human would ever talk), while 'race' tries to be...forum.scribblehub.com
Every 'reborn as a nonhuman' webnovel
Oh, look, I've been reincarnated in a fantasy world as part of a nonhuman race. My new race has super strength and magic, and lives like 100 longer than humans (traits that make us truly relatable and sympathetic), so we think of humans as if they were insects (yes, I said 'we', I immediately...We don't clown on forli, we shitpost and joke between each other(well, most of us) Also, this person has troubles, serious troubles. Personally, I've tried to be understanding and provide a different point of view, explain this and that, but negativity just never stops.Justifying genocide
One of the weirdest things about web novels that I've noticed is how there seem to be A LOT of authors that really want to have their main characters commit genocide. Most of the time it feels like the author just started by wanting the main character to be a mass murderer and then wrote a story...

I will be completely honest, I don't understand what you mean here. forli made three threads. Three thread had serious discussions, of course there were also trolling and shitposting, but it's forum, it's inevitable. Another point I want to make is that forli didn't quite react to actual discussions. If you look at the locked thread, owo, trashy, sabruness, and j_chemist had an actual discussion, did forli react or reply to them? No. There is also a point that such topics are highly volatile, so some people simply don't want to discuss them. Anyway, what I want to say, three frigging threads were not enough for this person. This thread won't be the last either, unless forli decides to quit SH. And I think quitting would be benefitial to his or her mental health. Because no amount of discussion or encouragment gets through.
oh yeah sorry. It was another guy
My point was I said he'd get clowned on less, and would actually be able to have discussions with people if he just tried to have a serious discussion instead of ranting about drama.
That actual discussion only started after the thread had already gone to shit and I was too fed up with the whole thing. When they made those posts I actually wanted to reply that I was glad someone was finally replying to the actual thread even if I disagree, I really should have said that, but I was too messed up at that time and then the thread got closed.
I wanted the last one to be the last, I was determined to make it the last, but then I saw those one-star ratings that seem to come from readers of this novel and in my mind it felt like people were taking advantage of the fact that I had decided to stop and I was like "I guess I stopping is not going to get them to leave me alone either".
Ok, I know that this is WAY too late, but I want to say that I really appreciate that you gave an actual response to that topic of 'justifying genocide', even if I disagree and my anger makes it difficult to show it at times, I actually appreciate that you went responding to it point by point.
This is clearly out of your control. I don't think you should delete your novel as it won't stop you from thinking about stuff that angers you, but I do think you need a prolonged break.
Sorry for misundersting this. I'm just used to people liking replies to show they've at least read it. Now that I think about it, I was wrong. Not everyone do it.
I often do without reading, presuming they must have written something reasonable.
I already tried taking breaks but in the end, decided that I should do the opposite and write more since thinking about my novel makes me stop thinking about others.
I can relate to the real life part, can't write because of all the shit that happens around me.
Well, if I may speak, I'd like to suggest that trying to 'not give a care' or 'taking pop literature seriously' would help you. I mean, in the end, it will be what it will be, a fictional story. We may question others why they wrote such stuff, but as they have their own beliefs and complexities, you both are bound to get into conflict.
