That is the thing.Yeah, I get you on the wishywashy stuff big media like Disney put out. I don’t like it either cuz it’s insulting to both parties. But mayyybe don’t jump to calling something woke when it’s by a newbie writer or an independent one? It hurts a bit. Woke really isn’t a bad word to be thrown around like that. It literally means to be informed on injustice, that word.
Also sorry if I didn’t get what you meant, I don’t really know you or the vibes on scribblehub forums. I genuinely was confused where the grandma plot line came from, but it was entertaining to read fr. I appreciate you taking so much time to write all this, but at the same time, you were a bit mean, so I didn’t know how to react. I usually just read debates instead of getting involved in them lol
Unlike discord, or facebook, etc
Here, we know the other user is a "human being".

Also i technically didn't call your story "woke".
I indeed used the word, but it was in a metaphorical way of "you go woke or you write it well". But indeed badly done the example by focusing on "sad past" part.
So its true that its bad to rush to use the word but I DIDNT CALL YOUR STORY woke.
Analogy of what i did, is like saying "Or your food product will look trash or your food will be good looking" and the manufacturer be angry of calling his product trash, when clearly i gave POSSIBLE FUTURES, that could EVEN BE WRONG.Your choice to have that or not. But the repercussion of your choice will decide if it flops or not.
One side will make the novel possibly look "woke" (gosh another blackskin MC for no reason whatsoever)
Other side give a bonus empathy point, to the fact the FMC worked often under the horrendous sun of the planet her whole childhood that it turned her pretty skin that dark. Feeling pity for "her" and liking her more.
[Edit : Heck, just discovered that with my cautious habit i even added the word "possibly look". Which was likely a KIND REMINDER your story CAN but ALSO CAN NOT be woke and be a good work. AND MY OWN PRE-DEFENSE so you aren't angry against me using the word. But i guess you skipped this part by reading too fast from habit of instagram/social. Its because of discord and be misunderstood or misread that i developed this CAUTIOUS way of writing. But i can't believe i still get people still misunderstanding me *facepalm*]

Wellllll, i was harsh sounding because you guys replied in a joking/trolling/zoomer way.
If you look at my first, second post, i was in a good/joking mood.
But the fact you and TenderHuman seemed to reply to me in a "brain turned off" way. Which is very very rude in a conversation.
AND ACCUSING ME OF THINGS I DIDNT DO
is just rage inducing.
----------------------------
Also you saying "it hurts a bit"
Reminds me of this drawing
For information, stress is very bad for me.
My heart was already fragile with my overly kind nature (mom), the kind where i could be depressed for days for stuff,
BUT what is worse is that my heart became physically worsened by medication that had side effects (stopped using btw)
To the point i get the heart having palpitation when over stressed
PS : i survived a suicide attempt
Also its just calling a creation of yours "woke" (I DIDNT, i repeat, I DIDNT)
its not like i AIMED AT YOU DIRECTLY.
------------------------------
I will end by mentioning my previous post, was a nice way of doing peaceful reconciliation and finally end everything, but just now, *sigh*
you just acted like a jp scene, where the gyaru that after crying, doing a tantrum, when she is seeing that the other person make peace, suddenly become smug secretly and try to get the last winning part to make the other party admit its their fault it all started. VERY SUBTLE. But gosh very cunning.
That is why despite being a woman myself, i don't have female friends, bc i can't stomach this kind of stuff.
Anyway, i end very honestly by recommending you to stop using instagram. Or at least "touch more grass". Or do slow and meaning discussions with kind people. Its not by always "spectating" that you will get better at interacting. Because when you become author, you need to interact with readers to get better.
