    Ahhh. Today I learned more about how to make POVs more interesting. The thing about POVs is that people are interpreting the world imperfectly. What a character is seeing and experiencing is not necessarily the truth, and I can contrast their perspective with another character for impact! Works...

    Hey @Assurbanipal_II I can't seem to find where you roasted your story. Ara ara, did I miss it somewhere?

    Not just authoritarian governments use propaganda, pretty much all governments use propaganda to sway public opinion. Since it is known worldwide that China, which is basically the censorship and propaganda behemoth of our planet, skews facts sometimes, I feel the need to be discerning when I...

    Thomas Hobbes wrote the Leviathan. The content was a treatise on why people give up agency/freedom to governments. Essentially it is something like a trade of freedom for safety and order, but authoritarian governments that seek to expand their control seem like a broken positive feedback loop...

    I just wanted to say that growing up in a free country makes me sympathize with the pro-democracy protesters. If a plutocratic authoritarian government wanted to take away my freedoms and censor me forever I would probably freak out too. The riots seem like a natural result. There is no balance...

    I would never want to be a police officer of an authoritarian state. The Chinese government just wants more control, but I think there is a scary line where excessive control dehumanizes the citizens who have lost their agency. They would no longer be human beings; they would merely be...

    I feel my existence is sacrilegious because I, as part-Japanese Canadian, hate hockey, ninjas, and samurai.

    I have some Japanese ancestry, but I have never told anyone that I hate ninjas, I hate samurai, they're boring. I don't particularly like katanas, and ever since I held a real katana all fake katanas have made me disgusted. I think small shurikens are stupid. Only odachi/nodachi that I saw in...

    Roast your own story!

    There was that one time you commented that my character was probably competent enough to successfully run away. However, we'll see in hindsight how stupid she really was when I write more chapters! Moar chapters!

    Roast your own story!

    My story is one of those otome game villainess settings. Does everyone in the entire story need to have child-parent problems? Why does everyone have emotional problems and serious insecurity issues? Dammit. A bunch of moody teens and young adults, the lot of em. 7 Chapters in and only 2 out of...

    The Yuri Writing Help Room (18+)

    Maybe you could have two lonely and reluctant characters get trapped somewhere because of some ridiculous circumstance, but it turns out that they make the best of a bad situation. They end up having a good time together in their own weird and awkward way. At the end when they get rescued or...

    When a target understands the existence of such an evil being they realize they are dealing with their ultimate adversary. It's not like being a target of hatred; it goes beyond that. Since pure evil is unconditional, it doesn't discriminate based on emotion, so hatred dilutes rather than...

    These are hilarious forms of evil, but I'm going to tell you they are not pure at all ... pure evil that is. A pure evil entity would take its target's full being into consideration as it seeks complete and unconditional destruction of its target, a custom tailored assault to produce maximal...
