Looking through the comments of a major subreddit and knowing that it’s mostly just humans losing their shit as opposed to bots is refreshing for a change though.

You’re probably talking about r / politics. People say that you need to subscribe to the subreddit to see them.
It’s not necessarily the main reason, but it’s a reason. Tons of stories, I’d even argue that it’s most, don’t even venture into someone’s sexuality, race and neurotypicality. Readers generally don’t care, as long as it isn’t shoehorned in just for the sake of ticking boxes because you want to have a vibrant cast.
All these characteristics bring their own baggage with them, and thus conflict. If you’re focusing on a story about a parent choosing to move on from losing their partner and having to remarry to make ends meet, sacrifice their own desire for love for the well-being and future prospects of their children, just as an example for conflict. Then giving the character autism, or an ethnicity that’s being discriminated against in that society, or any other characteristics; then it might take away from, diminish or even undermine the story you want to tell.
In longer stories you can have different character arcs that allow for more nuanced characters and sub-plots. Weaving all of that together in a cohesive whole is a skill not many writers possess. Heck, if you’ve ever frequented fiction aggregate websites you’d know that the top user created lists are collections of stories that lack any and all romance.
First it was the Greeks, which I took in jest. And now you say:
Those turks
Comrades don’t disparage entire nationalities or ethnic groups. We are classists, not racists.
Great tool to radicalize people, though as marxists we shouldn’t define ourselves by our direct contribution to the almighty GDP.
Some jobs don’t produce a form of wealth or labour you can extract, all while still contributing to a prosperous society.
Pulp fiction and fantasy? Yeah.
And I was just commenting an absurd example of a character description, that might make people hot and bothered for their characters, to bring some levity
I know nothing of the KKE, just posting it for the memes.
My toilet adventures take nowhere long enough to go down that Reddit rabbit hole.
Oooh-la-la, a potbelly, so sexy ~
I don’t care for a person’s biological appearance, but care a lot about how they dress and their idiosyncrasies.
Some of it, at least when it’s about the protagonist, is that it’s easier for readers to imagine themselves in their shoes. Which is why, even with drawn fiction, the protagonist has a generic/formulaic appearance.
What communities do you even frequent…? May I suggest that you don’t?
As a Dutch guy in China, my height is brought up a lot, and I know Westerners who moved to Asia because they fetishize the feeling of being taller. I just make jokes that I’m taller in the morning than the evening, or joke that I used to be taller when I was still wearing high heels (for the times that I was able to stand up right and not with my ass on the ground).
Your title might as well say: What’s up with terminally online people and hyper-focusing on minute issues to distract themselves from their bad personalities or lousy socio-economic backgrounds?
Sure, but will they stay there? If they do, I hope he can life his remaining life with his family in relative peace.
So, anyone want to place bets on where they’re going? Russia? China? Back home?
“Conflict leads to better story writing” for the people that have never heard about introspection.
You know, for someone who is supposed to be knowledgeable on Chinese socialism, it’s a pity the author didn’t reference the story of Ah Q. Ah Q’s mentality, or rather Dutch comfort is one of the pillars Western Marxist ineptitude draws from.

I’m guessing a 2m length bed would be difficult?
Probably going to follow in your footsteps in a year. What kind of van is it?
Wouldn’t the correct way be Ukraine nonetheless? Just like players in the German football team used to have their stated birthplace be the GDR.
