show: *introduces smirking obnoxious boy in the first 5 minutes who will be her love interest*
me: well it was good while it lasted
Lemme guess. If it was a smirking obnoxious female, it would be okay?
no it would be awesome because then it’d be a lesbian story
What if there was a show with a cool female protagonist that had a different ‘possible love interest’ in every other scene so you end up actually wondering who she is going to get with and she isn’t getting with any of them and the whole point of the show is to fuck with you that way the whole film?
Here’s a story idea. Cool girl meets two boys. One is nerdy and has a huge crush on her and the other is indifferent. she meets awesome girl who ends up dating indifferent boy. Later awesome girl and indifferent boy break up and indifferent boy dates cool girl. Somewhere along the line, nerdy boy ends up dating a sweet girl they find and cool girl and indifferent boy have a fight and break up. Cool girl then goes through serious trauma and writes to awesome girl. They hang out more often and eventually get together so nerdy guy and sweet girl are a thing and cool girl and awesome girl go on a vacation to the spirit world while indifferent boy goes back to pro bending or whatever.
i’m not directing this to anyone specific but once upon a time i made a comment to an artist asking why all their characters backstories were so sad/painful/depressing/whatever to which they replied “because otherwise it wouldn’t be interesting :P ”. that was replied to by me immediately unfollowing them. i’m sure anyone who reads this will have a few certain artists on their minds, but i won’t name any names. i’m just saying that a character’s back story doesn’t need to be hellish in order for that character to be interesting.

That’s a pretty shallow reason to unfollow someone, just because they aren’t telling a story the way YOU want them to. Ever think maybe someone writes their characters that way because that just so happens to be their strength in writing?
People have different writing styles and preferences, and maybe someone prefers to write in the horror/tragedy genre for example.
You can’t just force a horror writer to suddenly write cute happy characters.
Yeah, a character can be interesting without having a shitty backstory, but that doesn’t mean people have to write every type of character to be a good story teller.
I think it’s targeted more for the people who are terrible at writing grimdark but still do because they think nobody would be interested otherwise. The blog they unfollowed probably wasn’t that good.

It has come to our attention that if you encounter a hacker in an online match who is using unreleased content (such as playing as an Octoling, or using certain guns), it is possible that they will appear in your Inkopolis Plaza, which could corrupt your Splatoon save data.
To decrease the likelihood of this happening, if you encounter someone using content which you believe may be hacked, continue to play online for several games after they have left, and do not back out to the plaza.
This glitch happens because the game displays around twenty Inklings in your plaza at any given time, which are the avatars of people you have recently played with and the authors of the current top-rated Miiverse posts. To show these avatars, the game combines two sets of data: information on the players temporarily stored in your Wii U’s memory, downloaded from Nintendo’s servers, and files stored locally, such as the models for clothing and the icons for weapons and abilities.
While the unreleased content is already stored on your Wii U or storage device, it’s hidden until the date that Nintendo has chosen for it to be released. This means that, if the game tries to access the files, it won’t find them where it expects to… and will basically lock up.
It is currently unknown how widespread this issue is, and you’re unlikely to encounter it, but as a precaution pay careful attention to the guns and character models shown on the results screen at the end of each match.
