This is a post I’ve posted on Reddit recently that I thought I’d put on the blog as well for extra views because it got decently popular for archival reasons.
I’m definitely not recycling content.
In the end, I’ll add on additional thoughts I have regarding the topic.
Alright.
I’m hoping that showed up. You can click on it to see the discussions that ensued.
The reason I decided to write that post is clear. I don’t have any content right now for the blog that’s ready to ship and I need to drive traffic to keep the webpage alive. It’s like finding a dead rodent and tying some strings on it to make it move around as if it’s alive.
But it’s also clear that I wrote that because maybe it’s good to let some people know that writing requires some legwork at times.
It’s a creative endeavor.
You can do whatever the hell you want.
You can do it however the hell you want.
But others will have an opinion about it.
To the extent how much you care about that depends on your goals as the creator.
To the extent how much you want to shape their experience depends on your goals as the creator.
If you need to be factually accurate or have some honesty to the experience you’re trying to portray then maybe you need to do your homework.
We’ll make mistakes.
But it’s better to get a C+ than a F.
Unless you’re Asian.
Then you f$%cked up when you go home with a C+.
“Maybe you shouldn’t make a joke that stereotypes a certain racial group”
Maybe you should shut the f#$* up and learn to take a bad joke. Because life’s full of them and learning to differentiate malice from humor is probably a better way of accepting the world as the way it is, a more decent way to get along with others from all walks of life, trying to not be a control freak to fit the world to your narrative, and overall just keepin’ things more chill and fun.
What am I on about.
