And sure, I've never been to the US of A. I only know what I saw in Ukraine over the forty years of my Ukrainian life.
And I saw some pretty fucking similar things to what's happening in USA.

(1) Write genre from outside of it in, not the inside of it out.
(2) Try not to model yourself on the best of genre writers, only on the best of writers. Obviously your choices there will be subjective, but the risk with genre is it's a rabbit hole.
(3) Don't try to undo genre using its own tools.

I lived it: went to see Mario Bava's wonderful, gorgeous Black Sabbath at the New Beverly last night and afterward some guy in a This Is My Costume t-shirt said we ruined the movie by laughing during the funny parts.

All avant-garde literature is either Protestant (Hemingway et al) or Catholic (Nabokov et al) and David Foster Wallace killed himself because he had Protestant ethics and Catholic talent.

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

I don't know why they're mad at this game but the first one was awesome and the new one sponsored a samurai movie film festival so they're wrong
Gaming culture warriors must always have a target in their crosshairs, and right now it's Ghost of Yotei. Sucker Punch should back Erika, developers, content creators, & journalists with as much gusto as it fired an employee for joking about Charlie Kirk. (OG screenshot removed, no clout for them)

ma'am, I beg to differ the left invented the arts
If you are interested in engaging with questions of sexuality and kinship, love and desire, the left has an incredible body of feminist, queer studies and gender studies thought to offer you. If you are interested only in “how cis straight men can get laid”, that’s not really what the left does.

It's nearly impossible to be an important artist, and it's even harder to be good while doing it. Ozzy did both, and he is dead. The party in Hell tonight will be the greatest since the Fall of Man.
