    Meanwhile, this is one of the most unlikable creepypasta protagonists I've ever seen. His methods are extremely familiar to me, but the complete lack of self-awareness about autism leading to "try same thing in microscopically different ways until different results occur" and the lack of thought that the answer to his prayer might be "fuck you, the lady said no" left me wishing Cthulhu would eat him less than halfway into the story.

    The hand part would be fine without the crushing part. Sudden groin attacks tend to be hard to pull off as serious - even if it is a serious injury, the immediate association is comedy.

    Comment (on an article which itself has a heavy warning for noncon discussion) about how not to write a real or fictional location:
    Uh, wow.

    Fun update from the House of Night: our first disabled character is blind, and within a page of being introduced as a blind person, she is cured of blindness and then given extra sight on top of it! She gets vampyric longevity and hyper-gorgeousness, plus ordinary sight, plus synaesthetic psychic prophecy type sight.

    There has been a brief moment where someone asks her how she used the internet when she was blind and she was like "lol, ignorant much?" and he was like "hey, i'm not disabled, why would I know that?", but they skipped past it soon enough. Oh, and there was FINALLY a full-on call-out of people saying "retard", but the character being called out retorted with what was clearly an author-surrogate argument that it's exaggerating "upper middle class white mommies having their feelings hurt" when other words, like "cunt", are more harmful.

    Also, the count of "rapists who have been redeemed because a heroine Loves Them Enough To Look Past It who have now become love interests and we're expected to judge the characters who are still not on board with accepting them into the fold" has risen to 3. Arguably 4, if you count the teacher who used magic to get Zoey into bed with him and then made everyone, including her, treat this as a horrible error on her part, rather than holding him responsible for TRYING TO SEDUCE HIS STUDENT FOR PERSONAL GAIN (there was an Evil Villain Plot component to it as well) AND THEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER BIOLOGICAL VULNERABILITIES TO MAKE HER FUCK HIM.

    I had to read that multiple times to comprehend what was even being described.

    It crossed my mind, but I don't think her quirk can create living things, so she'd be unlikely to have dogs in her bra.

    (Seriously, you're going to have to be more specific, I know like eight fandoms with a character named Momo.)

    The hoax 'urban legend' based off of deliberately disturbing statue that was running around for a bit. Link to said statue.

    On reading further down the thread, this is in fact a gay male author writing a gay male main character, which somehow makes it even worse.

    The thread is pure gold, though.

    I've seen gay male writers write with the het male gaze before, and it's weird as fuck. I'm guessing it's because they learned their writing styles from het male writers and think writing this way is Literary(TM), or maybe they don't hang out with many women? In the case of A Wild Swan And Other Tales, it's not exactly "male gaze", but it's certainly the "she had a personality and eyes" tone, though I think that's more down to every character of any gender in it being a jerk.
