    I think the "My Curse" from Mad Musings was the most uncomfortable for me to listen to. People tend to skip them because they're Reitanna's vents through Minkie's character and it shows. When she (Minkie) started crying and asking why her mom didn't love her it became a bit too real, a bit too personal almost as if it wasn't Minkie speaking anymore.

    Tara Gilesbie listed her residence as 'Dubya', and while many say she meant 'Dubai', it's actually an accurate spelling of the nickname for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area!

    My theory regarding the murder vs SA topic is a mix of 1: People are significantly less likely to experience the former than the latter, whether that be to themselves or to a loved one, or even just an acquaintance. And 2: SA is purely from selfish desires, whereas murder can be committed out of the desire for a positive outcome for others.
    Not trying to justify murder or anything, taking the life of another is one of the worst things a person can do, but in a lot of cases there’s a certain level of heroism associated with it.
    Throughout history you will ALWAYS find cases, stories, and myths, of people taking down corrupt and individuals for the sake of a brighter future (and ofc, just as many where it was purely selfish and/or sadistic motives), SA only brings harm and trauma and is there for the gratification of the person(s) committing it, there’s no glory

    • @kyleinthejar6829
      @kyleinthejar6829 Před 6 měsíci +7

      If you’ve ever been to/had a family member who’s been to prison, you’ll know the answer to that question very well. Murder is almost always taken less seriously than SA (especially SA of a woman or minor) because SA is a crime of pure hedonism. It’s selfish in a way few other crimes are, and that’s why so many are repulsed by the mere mention of it.

    • @Lovefortea448
      @Lovefortea448 Před 6 měsíci +9

      It can also be explained by how it affects the victim. With murder, the victim dies. Yes there's their loved ones that are traumatic from the event though the victim lives end there, we don't see how their affected by it. But with topics like SA and pedophilia, the victim doesn't die. They still live and in turn, have to deal with the trauma they experienced throughout their life onwards. That can be why people often use murder rather than sa

      @@Lovefortea448as a csa victim i will also add that you can consider sa as basically a murder where the living is forced to continue living while being dead metaphorically. I myself see sa of any kind as something that should cause the perpetrator to be charged like one would charge a murderer if not worse as you take someone's live, choices, their emotions and body and with csa their childhood and future. Depending on how severe the trauma affects someone, it's a fate worse than death and that's another reason people are more okay with showing murder

    I think I might have an idea of the disconnect, (for me at least.) it’s because murder can be justified, but CSA/SA can’t. Like I can look at a character and be like “oh haha lol they should get killed they’re so annoying!” But I would never wish SA on any character EVER.

    Nettles is 100% spot on with posting online / willing putting anything creative on the internet, you are asking for people’s opinions. Own it, embrace it, accept it. People are mean, people are nice, people are confused, scared, angry, disgusted, loved, excited, etc. art is meant to show emotions in the work and that isn’t a bad thing.
    Art can be really fucked up. It can even hurt those who read it, but it’s all in how you present the story, set it up, disclaim/inform audiences, and finally execution. You can indeed write anything you want, no one is stoping you.
    But if you’re just going to glorify abuse, excuse blatant assault/grooming, insult victims. Then you’re not making “vent content” you’re making “porn of Abuse.” If you know you’re not skilled enough/don’t know to execute it tactfully then don’t make content about it-! Be silly, make goofy content! Not everything has to be dark. But don’t get mad at people for calling you out on it and then cry online because you didn’t like it.

      Broadly agreed.
      I do think there are times when it's inappropriate and rude to criticize or critique a person who is clearly just having fun and isn't looking for feedback, and I definitely think it's presumptuous and rude to criticize a person *simply* for enjoying something you find boring or stupid. So, yes, people are certainly "asking for" responses when they put themselves out into the world, but not all responses are appropriate or constructive.
      I *do* think that if you do something that is obviously meant to court offense or controversy, you don't get to whine when people predictably react to the bait!

      Casual goth here! Not sure how qualified I am to talk about this since I’m pretty new to this subculture but I’ll start with the answers. Sorry if it’ll be abit long:
      The main thing that’s weird about ebony is that (I think) she refers to herself as a goth but she doesn’t listen to goth music cuz unlike what most ppl think goth is a music based subculture and all you need to do to get into it is listen to the music
      She’s more of an emo tbh. A very very very stereotypical emo
      The outfits are very 2000s but still very bad when I try to visualise them. I wouldn’t say offensive but very bad

    Nettle is sadly right about horrible fanfic getting popular and eventually getting deleted
    I'm in the eddsworld fandom and we had a 'My immortal' fanfic called 'Dear starboy'
    No oc inserts or anything all thought the cannon characters in the story feel like ocs.
    The story is a shitty romance with the most popular ship in the Fandom with a lot of triggering topics that have no warnings like homphobia, abusiveive fathers, and one of the main leads kill themselves via drowning because the other main love interest yelled at him and rejected him.
    They only knew echother for two weeks.
    It don't know when it was deleted but it was deleted after the popularity died off but sadly was reuploaded and now haunts the eddsworld Fandom to this day.

    On the topic of bad fan fiction and the Muffins series, a few years back I remember I wrote this like AU where Rarity survived Muffins but then because of how overpowered the bakers were, I planned the overall ending of my AU to be Rairty getting a random deus-ex-machina power that allows her to use lasers to decapitate Pinkie (and the others)

    FanFiction is one of those things that tends to require a lot of practice. Not only have my fanfics gotten better over the years (not necessarily good, but better), but even my more formal/academic writings have benefited.

    the big difference between SA and murder in fiction is the horrific fact that SA is terribly common and murder is not so much. It's very likely that either you or someone who know has been SA'd, making it a much more painful and sensitive topic, whereas most people do not know someone who has been murdered.

I swear that I’d never heard people talk about this saga outside of how horrible the creator is before and it makes me so happy to see a creator I look up to and enjoy watching talk about how they love this thing that i do too. I loved this so much and it helped me be able to flesh out my thoughts on this series some more and i want so badly to post these thoughts because OH MY GOD THIS HAS CONSUMED ME SINCE I WAS IN ELEMENTARY I SWEAR TO GOD.

    "If people can make videos about urban spook, you can talk about Reitann Seishin for five minutes!"
    Is EASILY, the funniest thing about Reitanna I have ever heard. Full stop, in like three or four years, that is the funniest quip ever made.
    Personally I never really had an issue with Minkie Pie's original design, and frankly I prefer it over basically every redesign I've seen. Like yeah her mane could've been a little more inventive, maybe a little messier or something, but I like her color scheme and mane a lot actually. Although her cutie mark being so lazily made is a big problem. It also makes no logical sense, whether you use the canon MLP cutie mark logic or not. She just sat in a cellar and lost all hope of escape and got her cutie mark from THAT. Like... huh??? HOW? WHY?

    Lovely video! Despite being a fanfic author. (Even will a small following and getting recognized) I never thought about the history of fanfiction. It's such an interesting topic and I would love to hear you speak more about it.
    Do you think you'll ever make another video like this? Perhaps looking over fics for some of your own stories?
    In fact that's where I get most of my small following. I've written a few WTDW fics. "To learn from the tragedies" is my most famous one. I'm only mentioning this to you because my friend (beta reader) encouraged me to.
    Your a huge inspiration for many people including myself. I honestly don't know what I'm trying to say here, but your really cool. And I'm using this video to finally say something about it because I really enjoyed your takes on the fanfiction community.

    I remember some of the old projects I tried writing back in 2017 on Fimfiction, about half of them were self insert stories that were so bad multiple people asked if I was trolling. One was an interesting idea I fumbled so bad I had someone offer to edit it for me for free because of how unreadable it was.
    All that is to say that I definitely got better at writing over the years, even now making my own original webcomic and finally found something I'm passionate about and want to pursue career wise. And as funny as it is to say probably none of that would be happening if not for the bad horse fiction I made 6 years ago.

    It's possible for a murder attempt to fail with the victim surviving and being horribly traumatized, but survivors of murder attempts are kind of uncommon, which helps give people a feeling of disconnect from the concept. There are also other reasons why SA and murder are treated differently, but the rest can generally be summed up as "SA genuinely manages to be more fucked up on basically every level, though both are terrible"

    Bad Fanfics are so fun to read just to see how wild they get if they aren’t problematic.

    Also, on the topic of horror we prefer, I love slow burn horror and found footage horror. Horror that makes you wait is much more effective than just Jumpscares cause it makes you question things and it’s just interesting.

    i watched some of Urbanspook's videos. to those who have not watched them, it's a analog horror about a case about a serial killer who's calling card is grotesque paintings of his victims which is why referred to the killer as The Painter. turns out, that their are two killers which now reminds me of the Toolbox Killer case where police thought it was one but there were two. no idea what the controversy behind him is, i might check it out.

      The main controversy is that he implied a child was sexual molested by the killer(s) (In the first episode they show the painting "Fucktoy Tim" or something like that and then Tim was revealed to be a 12 year old) just for shock value, plus selling shirts with printings of that painting

    The only 'critcism' i think is valid for someone to get annoyed/frustrated at, is if that criticsm isnt actually helpful and/or is actively detrimental that is constantly being spammed at someone.
    On a fic i wrote, a speciifc commentor would not shut up about the fact i made the conscious decison to have that character be depicted less charitably than they were portrayed in canon. It got to the point that i started reporting those comments as spam.
    On other fics i write, there is a chronic issue of people ignoring the AU or canon divergent warnings i give out to criticize the fact something is different in the fic from canon. When a criticsm is aimed specifically at an element that was put there intentionally, that critique can be ignored and wholly discarded.

    Offhand, I'd say that the difference between murder and SA is that most of us feel that murder is "obviously" wrong, taboo, and alien to the everyday experience, such that most of us don't seriously worry about the underlying motives and values of an artist who depicts it in the work *unless* the art appears to cross certain lines or give off particular "vibes." In contrast, I think a lot of people fear that SA and CSA aren't "safely" and unambiguously taboo and aren't taken seriously enough where the rubber actually meets the road. Thoughts?
