"everyone should care about accessibility because most people will become disabled at some point in their life" is a logical argument and I understand its popularity
however, everyone should care about accessibility because disabled people are fellow human beings living in the same society as you who deserve the same rights as you
thank you good night
You know, for a long time it bothered me when Shen Jiu fans say "he deserved better", then I realized that it was because of the wording (plus how self indulgent fan work that treat this are).
I agree that he didn't deserve to be enslaved and abandoned, and I don't think he completely deserved to live any time as a human stick before being killed (which for me the amount living like that was probably worse than the act itself of being in this kind of fiction works), but at the same time I don't think he deserved to be aid by his martial siblings, even less for them to like or love him. I don't think he deserves an easy life after abusing disciples. I don't think he deserved Binghe forgiving him and letting what he did go.
He didn't deserve everything he went through, specially as a child, but he also didn't deserve, as an adult, to be given something better just because of his past.
I absolutely believe he deserved to be a human stick. If he didn’t want retribution from his victim, he shouldn’t have been victimizing people, should he have? The victim gets to decide how they deal with an abuser that tried to murder them on multiple occasions, especially if said victim was a child during all that. You deserve what you earn.
Anyways, what Shen Jiu stans don’t seem to understand is that Shen Yuan’s transmigration was the “better.” Instead of Shen Jiu destroying his reputation and sect and being responsible for the deaths of everyone in it by his own actions, he dies quietly and gets his reputation laundered by a person who is morally superior to him (by virtue of, you know, actually having morals to begin with). Shen Jiu gets to reap the benefits of Shen Yuan’s work even though he’s dead. If shit was really fair, Shen Yuan would’ve transmigrated into another character free of Shen Jiu’s sins and been tasked with completely ruining Shen Jiu before he had the chance to damn everyone else with him. That would be what Shen Jiu actually deserved. Instead, folks think a qi deviation fixed his attitude problems, and everyone lives happily ever after. Did Shen Jiu earn this grace? Absolutely not, and yet that was the greatest kindness mxtx bestowed upon her character. His stans should be goddamn grateful.

“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as you’re not romanticizing it”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as it’s your way of coping with your trauma”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as —”
actually, anybody — including you — can write non-con and dark fics, and any other fucked up things, however they want, for whatever reasons.
wanna romanticize the fuck out of your non-con / dead dove do not eat fic? go ahead. don’t let anybody stop you from creating the art you want to create.
wanna write non-con fic even if you were never a victim? go ahead. you don’t have to meet any specific criteria in order to create the art you want to create.
just tag your works properly so that you don’t accidentally expose those who might not want to be exposed to such topics to the topics, and you’re all good.
art does not have to be for everybody.
art has never been strictly about rainbow and sunshine. art can also be about the horror and the macabre.
art can be outright disgusting and messed up, and being disgusting and messed up can be just what makes the art a masterpiece.
write whatever you want to write and say fuck you to censorship.
Lowkey need more Amelia Chase smut fics like we already know she was into auto-erotic asphyxiation 😔 whoever wrote that Rita Calhoun x Amelia Chase one-shot you have my heart
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

“Why are fanfictions always so much better written than canon??”
Because they’re catered to you and your ideas of what the characters, story, etc. should be, which doesn’t always line up with canon.
It’s not a matter of which one is objectively better, but of audience.
Fanfiction is made for fans by fans with copious amounts of fanon concepts made to appeal to, well, the fandom. This is not inherently bad, and obviously the amount of fanons and which ones will vary from fic to fic, but given that the quote above generally only applies to fics the poster likes…yeah. That fic is written specifically for you and the people who agree with you. Again, not inherently a bad thing.
BUT that is not the case for canon. Canon is not written for the fandom; the fandom can’t form until after the canon exists. How that fandom changes as different people come and go as they decide they do or don’t like the directions canon takes is another story, but nonetheless unlike fanfiction it is not written to cater to fanon concepts and preferences. And “not catering to fanon” is not synonymous with “bad writing”.
Now that said, yes there are obviously fanfics out there that are objectively very well-written and creative, and yes there is canon material out there for whatever book/movie/tv show/etc that objectively isn’t so great.
But most of the time, your perception of fanfics is better because they’re tailored to your biases. Not because they’re objectively better-written.
Again, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that–it’s completely normal to prefer/enjoy things that fit your opinions/headcanons–but maybe step back and consider that a moment before you go and bash the creators of your favorite book/movie/show for not following the same plot of your favorite fic.
