Other Random question of the day

The words of someone who totally doesn't have any problems with hipsters whatsoever /s lmao.

To be fair, I've been growing a beard recently, and my brother calls me a hipster for that too, haha.

 

[Kaztastrophe]

Hipsters suck a lot of them stink too.

 

[ashwynne]

No, not broadly like this lol. There are specific sects of hipsters (mostly the gatekeeping ones or the ones that act superior for having an interest in something “before everyone else”) that annoy me, but it doesn’t apply to all of them.
It also depends on how you define hipster (as in who falls into the category) because I’ve seen definitions vary as well. But in general I would say no.

You must be a hipster since you asked this question. Hehe

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Delinquent]

Do you have a problem with hipsters?

No, but then again I'm not an asshole.

 

[Tove]

No, why should I?

 

[Idea]

I didn't even know this was still a thing... I thought it was some old-ass movement

Sorry, I tend to dig deeper and deeper into one subject because sometimes it's really a continuous problem.

Anyone going around exploiting a legal system to get away with robbing people is a scumbag.

I'm new here, so, haven't really seen you complain about the copyright claims on youtube, but Universal, and the whole music industry, are scumbags for more than just false copyright claims.

-- Edit --

Answering your question directly, yes, they are.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of these loaded questions as well. Please ask something else.

Eh...the questions have always been hit or miss in this thread. Some are quite intriguing but then there's others that make me go "why is this even being asked?"

Random question of the day:

Do you like stories that feature angst?

 

[Jannah]

Yes. I'm all about the darker themes in writing. Warm and fluffy stuff bores me quite quickly.

 

[Sleepy.starlightt]

Angst In general sometimes annoys me

 

[Abendrot]

Do you like stories that feature angst?

If it's done well, yes, but I don't like when it's dark and brooding the whole time. Even very dark stories have moments of love, friendship, camaraderie, fun, joy, etc.

Lots of amateur stories I read are very heavy-handed with the serious emotional issues, and it rarely works because it often comes off as absurd and Narm-y. If a character starts whining for several paragraphs and their spiel reads like a tantrum from the mouth of a teenage boy upset that his parents took away his Xbox, I'm already checked out. Ditto if they're equating something relatively small with the literal end of the world as we all know it.

Depends.
Teen angst? Shoot me in the face with a shotgun then again in the chest to make sure I am dead. If they are not old enough to be a college graduate they do not belong on tv, unless they are playing a victim that dies.

 

[Tove]

Yeah, I'll agree with the poster above, teen angst get that crap out of here. But, I'm not opposed to it in other instances. Things can't always be sunshine and rainbows.

 

[ashwynne]

I love angst and always will. It can be cringey and poorly done regardless of age demographics so I have no specific grudge against teenage angst (and lets be real... being a teenager is almost inherently an angst-filled period so if done correctly it’s a perfect stage for an angsty plot).

That said... if it isn’t balanced or is overdone then I’m out. It’s normal for people to experience some angst (especially during/after dark or serious events which are what I like to explore in writing) but it’s normally something to push through rather than get mired in. When you have a character who is CONSTANTLY driven by angst with no reprieve, things get annoying pretty fast. Obviously it can come and go to varying degrees depending on the situation (ie. a character having their entire worldview flipped on its head might be full of angst for a while) but when there’s no definite motivation behind it and/or no end in sight then I do not enjoy it.

Random question of the day:

What's your favorite video game from the 90s?

 

[Jannah]

I gotta say the Crash Bandicoot series. I practically grew up with it and Spyro so it's nostalgic for me.

I 6th grade I kiss a kid on the cheek and couldn't hang out with anyone all year from people teasing me
