outlining a novel is easy! just place it on an A4 sheet, grab a pen, and trace then pen around the edge
Gonna start referring to my own 3/4 view facing left drawings with no background this way

Escapism isn't *inherently* bad but when you're doing that *more* than you're genuinely enjoying things that's really not a place to appreciate "cheer up at least you have (thing to escape the pain of reality)"
"Sure things are awful but you also have (video game)"

Look I love video games but have you considered that once someone has stopped playing them for fun as much as for distraction from life's pain that's bad both for the person's overall mental health and their future enjoyment of (video game)

when they get Less. I've seen people act like this is a valid excuse rather than bigotry in and of itself. It's fucking ridiculous. There's a different between criticism and tearing someone or something down for not meeting a standard that was never promised but was assumed
I think at least some of it is the more axis of marginalization one has, the higher a pedestal people put their work on. And the pedestals are fragile and any potential imperfections can knock it all over. They don't expect that perfection from people less marginalized so they don't feel let down

I've never seen cis gay men get this specific brand of hate but there *was* a period where a bunch of people on twitter were jumping in to yell at the guy who did the Hannibal show for *checks notes* supporting problematic fan content for the show about an emotionally manipulative cannibal murderer

No matter how hurt you are, if you find yourself believing no one but people exactly like you care about you, please question who is feeding that into your head and who benefits from it
There was a symbol some of them mistook for a trans symbol but it was literally a thing the manufacturers stamped on there to make them identifiable (and not even trans)
