They also have a few fun long videos ripping into terrible writing advice. Dare you brave 7 hours of Chuck Wendig's prose?

Troper Tales is truly a treasure trove of material. Dire Gentlemen (a group of professional writers and the like) are going through the old archive of it on their Youtube channel and it has a pretty similar vibe to F Plus episodes, honestly. I'd definitely recommend it, especially since they're usually about like 20-30 minutes long.

While Dire Gentlemen does have some interesting take-downs of really lovely writing advice, they lean extra-hard on appealing to their authority as professional writers when their only credits are some podcasts that no one has ever heard of. They aren't in the WGA, Gus Zagarella doesn't even have an IMDB page, they're about the same level of "professional" as the guy in my sketch writing class who had a few self-funded shorts under his belt.

The wedgie episode is one of my favorites and I'm unsure if I should be pleased or saddened that the doc for the episode has since been deleted

I'M MAKIN' IT GP RAIN

I had only heard the Dollop episode on one of the other sign language primates before this. (Looking it up, I think it might have been Nim Chimpsky? The one I had heard about did end up on a ranch after all was said and done.) I didn't realize that Koko and the person handling her were also hosed up in their own ways. This would also be 2 for 2 on signing primates that were smoking, although the other one smoked weed, or "stone smoke" as he signed it.

A few of these cryptids were covered on another of my favorite podcasts, The Nonsense Bazaar. That's a podcast about the origins of certain spiritualist movements, stories, and conspiracies.

These Reddit Lifestyle episodes are always so wild, because they're guys who are convinced that this dumb thing they do makes them healthier, smarter, and better than everyone who doesn't. It's really astounding how people can get so into themselves that they're sure that only eating meat or not jacking off or trying to regrow your foreskin makes them literally the ubermensch.

And then there are presumably schisms due to what you want to get out of only eating meat or not jacking off or trying to regrow your foreskin.

That's my favorite poo poo. They kinda barely touched on it in the ep but all these communities have like seven different "TRUENofap/Nofap2/NofapUNCENSORED/etc" splits and you can almost always trace them to one of two things.

1) it's the product of some wannabe influencer branching off, claiming they've found the TRUE golden plates and magic hat and these original guys are FRAUDS, so those communities just become cults of personality as well as dumb fads.

2) it's the product of a large amount of users going 'uh guys I've been not cumming for like three months and my material conditions haven't changed, almost as if not cumming and social status have nothing to do with each other?' and instead of going 'aw poo poo we fell for a scam, that's an embarrassing one, oh well' they go 'wait one of these posts said you CAN scratch your nuts if they itch...well THAT'S the problem, all my failings and anxieties can be linked to the time I scratched my nuts once! gently caress these facist mods hiding the truth, let's go to r/nonutscratchnofap!!!'
