So far I’ve discovered in this thread:

-People don’t like traditional fantasy that takes itself seriously.
-People don’t like lighthearted fantasy that plays with the themes.
-People don’t like hard magical systems.
-People don’t like soft magical systems.
-People don’t like dragons being involved.
-People don’t like an absence of dragons.
-People don’t like character archetypes.
-People don’t like counterarchetypes.
-People don’t like when characters speak an understandable language.
-People don’t like characters meeting each other in common social meeting areas.

All good here? Great.

Just write whatever the fuck you want. There’s always an audience.

My wife and I are part of a younger generation whose culture revolves around NOT having children until all those things you mentioned are attained. The stress of even having a kid, let alone multiple, is not something we’re going to address until we hit financial security.

Do the lawyers agree?

You are a microcosm representing exactly how the Democratic party is treating me. No interest in asking what I want. No drive to sympathize. Just demand, demand, demand. The liberals in here are so beautifully reflected in you, demonstrating the same lack of motivation to engage beyond name-calling, coercion and, in some cases, internet tough-guy posturing.

It was me. I said I was honoring my civic duty by abstaining. You’re so mad about it that you didn’t bother checking who you’re replying to.

Well, I’m mad too.

What am I supposed to do about it? I keep getting told that if I just bite the bullet (again) and vote the way you tell me (again) then things will get better.

So I do.

And they don’t. Not for me.

I watch everyone’s boats rise, but I still have the same holes in mine and nobody is tossing me the supplies that I clearly don’t have to fix it even though I did what you told me. Good for you all. Really.

But after this many times, why do it again?

“When do I get to think about me when I vote?”

“Stop thinking about just yourself and think about other people.”

Are you even paying attention to the conversation or am I trying to reason with a recording? Is it any wonder why I don’t feel heard time and time again to the point where I don’t want to do what I’m told?

It’s zero sympathy. I have a duty to get shafted by the political system again for the promise that someday, somehow, something will work out for me.

No thanks, friend.

The players decide the game rules.

I’m not the Chess Master. I’m a pawn. I’m sacrificed and threatened and told if I don’t do what I need to all the time always then the other side wins.

So I’m not going to move the way I’m told until I get something I want.

I’m a minority setting myself on fire every election. This time I’m inclined to have others burn with me.

Every election is “the worst election ever where we need everyone to come together and support our hand-picked candidate against their hand-picked candidate”. When do you get to vote your conscience?

When do I vote in a manner representative of who I am as a minority?

When will the ship not be sinking so I can choose someone who actually represents me?

Why is it my responsibility to vote for you when you don’t care about me?

“I know we didn’t do anything for you again these past 4 years, but if you don’t get behind us then it’s going to be bad!”

It already is bad. If you don’t realize that you sound like the privileged one.

You need a lesson. The DNC conspired against Bernie Sanders the moment it was clear he was a threat to Hillary and did it so goddamned hard that there was a lawsuit about it.

A lawsuit that ended with the defense: “The DNC is a private entity so we’re allowed to do whatever we want.”
