As a 33 year old married guy, I envy my wife (34). She has no clue about the culture war or any of it. She’s not on social media. The only YouTube videos she watches are crochet tutorials and cat videos. She never watches or listens to the news. She’s the happiest person I know.

Pro writing tip: Try getting somebody to act out the dialogue with you. If it's too embarrassing for you to do it, you probably shouldn't ask the actors, either.

They aren't Steve Buscemi pretending to be a student, they're wearing a t-shirt with Steve Buscemi pretending to be a student on it and they think it makes them hilarious.

Bad writers + hidden agendas = terrible story

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering." - Tom Waits

"they collect Funko POPs" Looks over at my warhammer 40k models "Yea, im not like that. Thank god"
-
All those people who were writing cringey fanfics on live journal and tumblr are now professional writers It explains a lot
-
i'm a millennial and sometimes i do catch myself talking like this, but hearing it parroted back in video games and movies is like nails on chalkboard. it's making me self conscious to the point that i consciously try to change the way i write and speak 😅
-
One of my pet peeves in modern day story telling is the obsession with ruining a good scene with a joke. The moment is gone and i'm disappointed
-
My favorite joke in borderlands 3 is simply reading “coolant” and “heatant” on the pipes in the main ship. That made me laugh more than any joke in the game.
-
Our obsession with coolness is killing our ability to communicate with each other because we're always thinking about ways to talk to each other instead of just talking. Which is exactly how they designed it to be through television. People before television just were themselves and so to our standards would seem corny
-
I think everyone is dancing around the fact that the problem is because writers are not hired based on talent, but rather, because they tick the right boxes for a high DEI score.
-
the problem is simple: these writers aren't writing a story, they're filling dead air with shallow content.
-
Velma is literally the pinnacle of the point being made here. It’s so terrible and so maxed out of this kind of writing that literally EVERYONE, right or left, guy or girl, black or white, whatever, we all agree it’s terrible. It kind of gives me hope. Like we’ve pushed so hard on both sides of everything that we’re all exhausted and just want to chill out.

In MGS4 if you kill enough soldiers you make Old Snake get a flash back of Liquid Snake telling him that he enjoys killing, you puke, and lose 25% of your stamina as you get PTSD. In The Last Of Us 2 you kill a dog and later find out it played fetch and feel sad. Also it's message that "Revenge is Bad" seems to hold no weight as the game made you kill a mountain of people just to let the final boss live.
-
It's like the reverse of Big Bang Theory. Uncool people writing "cool" characters in games while "cool" people write the nerd dialogue in big bang, with neither grasping the other's culture
-
The problem is the writers' only writing experience is making comments on gaming subreddits, which is why all of the dialogue sounds like throwaway jokes made for karma.
-
As a millennial (34) I think social media is the main culprit. People become addicted to social media and so start thinking like this. On the other hand, because of social media, people who are thinking like this get elevated and heard more and look like more of a majority than they really are. There's obviously a lot more to the problem than that, I just think that's a central part of what makes the problem get worse and worse.
-
BL3 Had some of the worst writing I've ever whitnessed. It was so abhorrant that I put the game down and got a refund after the "influencer" scene. So fucked.
-
I feel like the main issue is they are trying to use the sense of humor of middle and high school kids but they fail to take in to account that middle and high school kids sense of humor is moronic and phases out of style in a matter of weeks
