okay, just sit there and listen. i'm having this problem with my code, see? i think it's something to do with this function here... are you still listening? you are? good duck

that "most fanfiction that gets published as a novel is bad because it's always the weirdest people writing it" post is so fascinating in the way it very clearly eschews any traditional definitions of words to simply use 'normal' as shorthand for 'good' and 'weird' as shorthand for 'bad'

like. i think boring heterosexual women writing boring heterosexual romance novels with standard tropes is extremely 'normal' actually by any meaningful definition of the word. it is literally one of the most conventional, mainstream forms of publishing that exists. there's nothing 'weird' about it, or the people doing it, by any societal standard. what they mean to say is that those books and fanfictions are bad. (which, for what it's worth, i agree - they largely are bad.)

it invokes 'normality' as a moral framework while completely detaching it from its descriptive meaning. it's using these terms as pure value judgments to disguise what's essentially just taste-based criticism.

so the real subtext is about 'weird' secretly meaning 'people I don't respect' rather than anything related to statistical prevalence or social conformity.

what's most revealing about this rhetoric is how it elevates social conformity to a moral imperative without explicitly defending that position. in this case with the post, 'normality' means goodness creatively and in other contexts 'normality' gets used to mean goodness morally.

e.g there are a lot of posts that follow the general pattern of "are you normal about [xyz]". like "sure you say you support neurodivergent people but are you normal about autistic people who stim loudly in public. you say you support trans rights but are you normal about trans people who don't pass. you say you're a feminist but are you normal about fat women" etc etc etc. it's a common type of post; i've certainly shared similar posts before, but it's interesting, right, because ableism, transphobia, fatphobia are in fact exceedingly 'normal'. obviously everyone knows what is meant when someone says 'are you normal about [xyz]'; i'm not trying to be all 'um actually', about it, but it is very interesting that 'are you normal' gets used to mean, literally, 'are you moral'. much like how 'weird' and 'untalented' are used synonymously in the above post, 'weird' and 'immoral' become synonymous in this other context.

the sleight of hand here is in presenting 'normality' as a natural, obvious basis for determining both moral worth and artistic quality. people get to invoke the spectre of 'weirdness' as inherently problematic without ever having to defend why social conformity should be valued in the first place. when they say boring tropey published romance novels are written by 'weird' people (when by any meaningful definition of the word, they're not and in fact the best writers are usually freaks. stop insulting freaks' good name by comparing them to love hypothesis slop!!), they're reinforcing the unexamined premise that 'normality' is the proper standard for judging both people and their creative work.

it reinforces the idea that normality itself is inherently desirable, that deviation from social norms is inherently suspect, and it does this without ever having to openly argue for conformity as a value, because it presents that connection as self-evident.

wheres the parody post thats liek "I am a leftist American liveblogging from my imperialism studies class! Add me on WhatsApp!" because yank girls on here who do that to their followers they collect through reblogging socialist posts are going to kill me for the "notice how the yank girlfriend expects you to ruin your sleep schedule for her" post

i am a socialist American girl! Come talk to me until 6 AM at which point I'll saying Ohh sorry I have to sleep it's 10 PM here

Music is just cope for people who can’t generate emotions on their own

Some of y'all really need to go outside. To think it's somehow "not ok" to listen to music is the craziest shit I've heard all week

it literally isn't okay to listen to music. that's someone else's emotions and it's both embarrassing and ideological theft to use them instead of your own.

listening👏to👏music👏is👏theft

this is basic leftism everyone

listening to music will also fry your serotonin and dopamines if you're neurodivergence. think before you listen

oh so the Yankees made their bats thicker and hit 20 runs bc of it and the league is just like yeah they're allowed to do that?? this whole time apparently it's been perfectly legal to just change the bats to make it easier and no one tried it until right now?? 150 years this sport has been around and suddenly someone had a bright idea??

look at this shit man

a man once told me he listened to music I had to hide my disgust I asked him to speak outside and I drew steel and put him in the dirt so to speak. ideologically I disagree with vigilantism and believe it's no man's right to take a life but someone has to keep these sickos off the street and I am willing to become a monster to keep this city safe
