[(Anonymous)]

I like the way you think!

[(Anonymous)]

For real.

[(Anonymous)]

And I know your comment was a misfire, but I still agree.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's as much about the tastes of the audience and the decisions being made by the publishing companies. I think a lot of that stuff is just what people are looking for and / or what publishing companies think people are looking for, rather than being a product of the ages and life experiences of authors.

It is a shame though.

AEQ an older person will have more life experience, even if it's not true in every individual case

I agree with both you and OP. It can be good and hot if it’s well-written, and bad if it’s...well badly written.

I don’t like ABO, and I avoid those fics. So the only time I see a butthole described as “slick” is if lube has been added, and that’s sexy. Or if the fic writer knows nothing about men’s bodies enough to actually think the butthole is self-lubing, which is dumb and cringed. Or if they’re trying to sneak in ABO tropes without properly warning for it, and never bringing up any other tropes previously that might clue me in to what they’re trying to do, which I’m obviously not a fan of.

I also hate gaping, so I stay away from that too, and most people are nice enough to warn for that. So having a butthole be described as “gaping” is also obviously a turn-off for me. But “used”? I really like that!

I could be wrong, but I think the artist(Shinya Komi) might have made porn, or at least pornographic images of some of the characters of Ex-Arm and Ex-Vita? And if I am wrong, there’s at least definitely hentai and +18 art made of his work somewhere. It’s better than nothing I guess, considering the actual writer of Ex-Arm sucks out loud.

People think the anime had any potential to be good if it wasn’t animated in terrible CG, and it’s like, no? The story was already terrible. The manga was only better because it had a talented artist to give pretty backgrounds and good eye candy.

This!

That is a ridiculously perfect misfire, lol!

This.
I am a big Jensen Ackles fan, and a big Comic book fan and.. I will be sitting this one out and using the inevitable deluge of screenshots and gifs to make my own little head-verse where Jensen is Captain America and not the thing that screams that Garth Ennis hates superheroes.

OTOH, at least the corners of the fandom where I hang? Has been very diligent on warning people about the graphicness of The Boys. I don't think it will stop some people to be unpleasantly surprised... but at least there's an attempt?

[(Anonymous)]

what's the secret count for this week?

[(Anonymous)]

Meanwhile, every Ackles/SPN fan I know is hype BECAUSE they know what The Boys is like-- many of them were already watching it anyway.

I think it's funny when people devote mental energy to the idea that SPN fangirls will be shocked or dismayed, when A) My Bloody Valentine exists, and B) I've seen SPN fanfic far worse than anything on The Boys.

Granted, I don't hang with the younger side of the fandom-- those of us who were in high school when SPN started are... you know, adults. Adults see all kinds of graphic content.

[(Anonymous)]

To me it looked like a cheap way to prop up Sam as Cap, by nerfing or bastardizing every other heroic character in the franchise.

Re: What did you do today, FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Celebrated that year end fiscal inventory is OVER. To all those who also celebrate this illustrious day, I pray you survived.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

That's why I said "more likely to" vs. saying that life experience is a guaranteed thing with age. I know young people who've been through a lot, too. But generally speaking, the chances of people gaining a wide range of experiences tends to increase with age.

[(Anonymous)]

Trolls are never as clever or funny as they think they are, and they don't achieve anything worthwhile.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

It's not just men in fandom who do this, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess this is true if you get your book recs from fandom twitter, which, yes, is full of stupid books written by barely-adults for other barely-adults with social media brainrot.

If you get your book recs from reviews in newspapers and literary magazines, turns out there are still plenty of books by and for adults being written, published and read.

[(Anonymous)]

I have definitely noticed a strong trend in form among the YA books I pick up. Even in darker books there are random elements of 'fluffiness' (for lack of a better word) that would have been so cut in YA works of the same genre just 10 years ago.

[(Anonymous)]

And here we have spotted a wild troll, stirring a pot with glee wherever they go.

Friday secret count

This is such a limited view of what the literary landscape should look like, though - you divide all of literature up into two or three big buckets and then everything within those buckets becomes increasingly homogenized and same-y.

I don't like mainstream fiction. I like genre fiction. I should be able to find diverse styles of books within genre fiction that I like. Genre fiction shouldn't all have the same algorithmic feeling, like it was written to order to satisfy data-driven market research about what the market is looking for. It's extremely frustrating and it's a legitimate frustration.

Experience also might not be strictly "things that have happened to you" but also "how you've processed the things that have happened to you". A 50-year-old and a 20-year-old might have had the same thing happen to them at 15, but will have different perspectives and understandings of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah and I think a lot of non-YA genre fiction is also getting YA-ified.
