Ytlaya posted:Wonder what HEA is. It's interesting that the "smut book community" apparently has its own lingo. That’s a good question, I looked it up and it is apparently slightly more touching than that. It stands for Happily Ever After. Apparently most romance novels are supposed to end on such a positive note. Or at least a HFN (Happy For Now) https://bookriot.com/if-it-doesnt-have-an-hea-or-hfn-its-not-romance/ A majority of readers read romance specifically for that HEA and they trust authors to give it to them. We are willing to be dragged through despairing lows of a heart-wrenching story because we know the author is not going to leave us there. You can make us cry tears of pain as long as you end with tears of joy and we will love you for it… Critics will say that romance is too formulaic. That if you know how it ends, there’s no point in reading it. Sorry, but no. What are the requirements of this genre? A romantic relationship between two (or more) people that ends hopefully, if not blindingly happily. That’s all there is to it. There are millions upon millions of stories to be told within that framework. There are subgrenres and sub-subgenres. There is so much room and variety here; we just ask for these two small things. No one asks for mysteries to not have a crime, or historicals to take place in the future, or fantasies to ditch all magical/mystical elements, or horrors to be bright and happy. Why is it okay to ask romance to remove the one thing expected of the genre, an HEA? (Spoiler: it’s not okay.) If you want a sad or tragic ending, go read something else.” I am happy that the semen-orcs gets to live Happily Ever After ❤️

YA and... whatever this are... really make you wonder if we have a shared "literary culture" or if the majority of people who would describe themselves as "readers" are thumbing through... this. I'll extend that to include 40k novels or whatever else always gets thrown out there as proof people still love reading.

Turtle Watch posted:I am happy that the semen-orcs gets to live Happily Ever After ❤️ Thanks, that's interesting. The person's argument in the quote is kind of dumb though, because they're specifically arguing that all romances should have a happy ending. They make the decent point that "you can have plenty of variety even if the ending is the same" but then twist it towards being directly opposed to different endings. I can understand wanting stories to be up-front about what kind of romance they are (and whether they have a good ending), but this person thinks that a "happily ever after" is necessary for romance as a genre.

Lots of people still read actual decent fiction books you goddamn dweeb Wrt: the Baltics, imo the reason they are happy to dispense with their entire arsenal is that they know the game that's really being played and are thus certain that they're at no risk of invasion whatsoever. The braying about putler is for their Nazi public's consumption

Seeing as there isn't much to currently talk about I was thinking back to early last year. We had plenty of people saying javelins and other portable boom-booms meant the age of the tank was over. And here we are in 2023 when the big topic is "Tanks! More tanks! Oh god please send more tanks fuuuuck!" Why don't they just give Ukraine another thousand javelins in lieu of Abrams with leopard spots painted on them?

the “hair means you can’t efficiently wear a gas mask” excuse is funny cause almost every time, the person mad about it is in garrison or hasn’t worn a gas mask in 12+ months. And they maybe wore it for 30 minutes of training. Pretty sure shaving doesn’t take months or years, so pretty easy to shave if the need to wear gas masks is coming up.

Oh god please send more tanks fuuuuck!" If you see a javelin go up and down on a tank, it means it destroys every tank, and all the tanks are gone. If you see the tank rumble up and shoot a building, it means tanks are stronger than buildings, send better buildings! If some guys are lying dead, it means that it's a disaster, the war is being lost. I like to follow war and keep tabs on what's goin on in the world, it's great to stay informed!

I'm sorry, but good literature is a +2,000 year old story about a Greek guy loving his mom and gouging his eyes out or a play by some English guy who's fame/acclaim was manufactured decades after his death. Not that prole stuff like a sweet lady finding true love (or at least true love for now) with a nice orc (Ork?) boy. Edit: seeing as our education systems basically teaches people to hate reading, I'm not going give them poo poo for reading woman/man-on-orc porn. Not that it's *good* quality wise, but looking down on stuff like that is some real bourgeois "we do entertainment the *correct way*" BadOptics has issued a correction as of 23:36 on Jan 23, 2023 |

There's also the fact that I'm pretty sure 40-60 year old women make up a significant portion (if not a majority) of romance novel readers. I don't think young people are the main audience of these books. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 23:37 on Jan 23, 2023 |

Irony Be My Shield posted:Ultimately the issue is that Russia invaded Ukraine last year in order to seize territory. There's no reason to think they won't do the same thing to their other neighbours, so it's better to prevent them from doing so through collective deterrence and stopping this horrific war from being repeated. But Finland and Sweden aren't shelling thier Russian majority districts? Why would Russia invade? 🤔

IMO that's just that person's opinion/preference and you see that all the time in other mediums. I'm sure someone got pissed at the end of Romeo and Juliet. I wouldn't really get worked up over it.
