Above was first thread about the drama
Below is the second, bigger and older.
I will add separate comments soon :)
''all of these threads in asianamerican were astroturfed by white people...right?"
'im afraid that our safe space ThR SRD will be taken over by chuds, this very thread seems astroturfed'
'But ghost of Tsushima exists'
'Asian subreddits on reddit are so shit, I fear to acknowledge that I as asian have a reddit account'
'Hollywood has an issue with portraying Asian male character, however this isn't a case of that..because Yasuke is very important folk hero'
' why the frick did Ubisoft make an actual historical figure a main character'
'I'm an Asian American I'm and I have an issue with this game'
'shut up, it's up to Asian males to speak up and out. To White Hollywood. Just like you guys are making a stink of this. Give the same energy to Hollywood. Let them know you need representation that's positive.
Just like Black Americans.'
'true japanese don't care'
'Oh so theyre japanese when they agree with you and secretly white when they dont
Funny how that works'
Askhistorians link about Yasuke
Totally fine yet this was written after all the evidence given
'If you've read this and all my other posts and links on Yasuke and still don't believe Yasuke was a samurai, then you either a) prefer to believe your own bias over historical research or b) should post an academic level publication from a PhD level researcher arguing Yasuke wasn't a samurai so I could read it.'
'My assumption is that people whose culture is being put on display want the avatar experiencing their culture to be a direct representation of the average member of that culture rather than a liminal figure.'
'your assumption is wrong because japanese people don't give a shit about AC'
'even if asian men care, they should shut up, women are misrepresented more, black and asian' ( a known twox and srd poster Felinomancy)'
CHERRY ON TOP OF THE POST
LONGEST DOWN VOTED COMMENT CHAIN
'Both sides only care about this dude, because his black, he was not that significant in Japanese history at all.
PLUS - OP, the anti chud warrior makes a comment AGAINST HOTEPS AND GETS DOWN VOTED. Only in SRD

Jesus Christ, lady, I hope your book has paragraphs!
Let's chop this up a bit.
...it's in a fantasy setting, it also has a coming of age aspect to it and takes place over about 6 years, and they age from 12-18. im thinking hard about how to write them right in their early ages, like 12-14, and i feel like i'm doing it wrong. i'm putting more focus on their character and specific personalities but i'm wondering if, as a girl, maybe i'm accidentally making them too “girly” and “soft.”
i like to make them enjoy the simple things in life, like exploring and enjoying nature, and they also like to talk about their feelings and their hurts. but is that a thing boys do? im trying to make them realistic but sometimes i forget that i was never a boy and i'll never know what it is like to be a boy. and to top it all off, it's a gay romance (it takes awhile though, so they're just friends in the beginning). it just happened to be that way, i wanted a romance that wasn't straight and i felt my story didn't fit two girls (again, there's a difference but idk what it is!)
... i just want these characters to feel real and not how i “think” they're supposed to be. i can't decide if gender is just a construct and it doesn't matter if they're a boy or a girl, or if their outlook on life IS different and they should be written differently. both? what mistakes should i avoid in writing male leads when i'm not a male?
"Have you tried adding reason and accountability?"
Nah, it's a good question. Writing any type of romance you haven't been in is obviously challenging. Writing the opposite s*x requires observation skills, reading and engaging with their work (a bitter pill for moids), and a healthy imagination. You also have to be able to set aside your preconceptions about how people should work, and your desire to fix them. For example, in this case it's not just that men usually don't talk about our feelings, or that we feel uncomfortable doing so. Often, we don't want to. How do these sorts of things affect a developing gay relationship?
But as usual, /r/writing offers reassurance instead of seriously engaging with an OP who wants real answers. Many also get bogged down making very important points about gender.
It's MY SETTING, and I get to pick the gender roles!!
Actual good advice to tell a story about boys erased in real time by genderslop.
In my fictional society, sexy women with big tits are expected to throw themselves at members of !bookworms and !writecel
Of course you can write a world with different social "rules." But the farther it diverges, the less it has to say about real people in our own world, and the more it has to say about the author's own desires and hangups. Might as well say some coomer's monster girl erotica is commentary about female gender roles.
This isn't actually out of nowhere because the full OP mentioned "The Song of Achilles," but lmao
Differentiate your characters from each other. Give them flaws. Let their differences and flaws produce tension. Two guys who are just soft and sensitive and slowly start touching peepees isn't a story. Even a hack writer would make one of them the emotional one and the other the moody, silent one or whatever.
A couple more people actually gave decent advice, like here, but of course low effort "You're perfect just the way you are!" advice is upvoted while interesting stuff is near the bottom.
As a straight man, I'll never understand this trend. If the men in your gay romance act like women, why make them men at all? Reading gay erotica should be a form of escapism where you can imagine loving relationships without having to deal with women. At least, that's why I read it.

Although one should always be skeptical and critical of what is posted on the 'farms, this accusation is so serious and, with far-reaching enough implications and consequences that I believe it is worth bringing forth before the users of this site. Today at 10:22 AM CEST time a user by the name of Coolio55 posted the following post on rDrama's community watch thread on Kiwifarms:
Turns out that that one image Homoshrexual posted on CREAMY_DOG_ORGASM's wall (The latter @ ing everyone to it) may have been 'p. Whoops!
To which Seafarer replied by calling dramatards attention-whore r-slurs and comparing them with soyteens:
Why is the Farms the only E-gossip site with a user base that isn't filled with the most braindead r-slurs on the planet? Everything on websites like /r/drama and soyjak.party feels very attention whorey, like everyone is always in a competition to shock or gross other users out.

One of the girls that killed this man in 2022, was rearrested for stabbing another man at a Subway station just 2 months ago. This group needs to go away for a long time. A danger to society.

I decided to post some myself without admitting it or giving workflow like I used to do when I still bothered posting on these subs.

For good measure I even copied a popular artists style and pretended it was their work.
Both of these subs are absolute about ai, however obviously the only actual rule is you need to hide using ai.
You will notice a lack of drama on any of these posts, because I did too good a job hiding it and literally none of the usual caught them

"Maybe this is their strategy. Add in a main character for a game that’s really controversial and that way it’ll distract from the fact you’re trying to get people to spend $130 for the f**king game.”

The guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Hinton
Geoffrey Hinton is a British-Canadian computer scientist and cognitive psychologist, most noted for his work on artificial neural networks. From 2013 to 2023, he divided his time working for Google (Google Brain) and the University of Toronto, before publicly announcing his departure from Google in May 2023, citing concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
We'll need universal basic income - AI 'godfather'
The computer scientist regarded as the “godfather of artificial intelligence” says the government will have to establish a universal basic income to deal with the impact of AI on inequality.
Professor Geoffrey Hinton told BBC Newsnight that a benefits reform giving fixed amounts of cash to every citizen would be needed because he was “very worried about AI taking lots of mundane jobs”.
“I was consulted by people in Downing Street and I advised them that universal basic income was a good idea,” he said.
He said while he felt AI would increase productivity and wealth, the money would go to the rich “and not the people whose jobs get lost and that's going to be very bad for society”.
Professor Hinton is the pioneer of neural networks, which form the theoretical basis of the current explosion in artificial intelligence.
Until last year he worked at Google, but left the tech giant so he could talk more freely about the dangers from unregulated AI.
The concept of a universal basic income amounts to the government paying all individuals a set salary regardless of their means.
Critics say it would be extremely costly and divert funding away from public services, while not necessarily helping to alleviate poverty.
A government spokesman said there were "no plans to introduce a universal basic income".
[article continued]
Professor Hinton reiterated his concern that there were human extinction-level threats emerging.
Developments over the last year showed governments were unwilling to rein in military use of AI, he said, while the competition to develop products rapidly meant there was a risk tech companies wouldn't “put enough effort into safety”.
Professor Hinton said "my guess is in between five and 20 years from now there's a probability of half that we'll have to confront the problem of AI trying to take over".
This would lead to an “extinction-level threat” for humans because we could have “created a form of intelligence that is just better than biological intelligence… That's very worrying for us”.
AI could “evolve”, he said, “to get the motivation to make more of itself” and could autonomously “develop a sub-goal of getting control”.
He said there was already evidence of large language models - a type of AI algorithm used to generate text - choosing to be deceptive.
He said recent applications of AI to generate thousands of military targets were the “thin end of the wedge”.
“What I'm most concerned about is when these can autonomously make the decision to kill people," he said.
Professor Hinton said something similar to the Geneva Conventions - the international treaties that establish legal standards for humanitarian treatment in war - may be needed to regulate the military use of AI.
"But I don't think that's going to happen until after very nasty things have happened,” he added.
Asked if the West was in a Manhattan Project-style race - referring to nuclear weapons research during World War Two - with autocracies such as Russia and China on the military use of AI, Professor Hinton replied: “[Russian President Vladimir] Putin said some years ago that whoever controls AI controls the world. So I imagine they're working very hard.
"Fortunately, the West is probably well ahead of them in research. We're probably still slightly ahead of China. But China's putting more resources in. And so in terms of military uses I think there's going to be a race”.
He said a better solution would be a prohibition on military uses of AI.
