The site seriously censor my chapter title?

[AdiofBali]

Ok everyone are allowed to burn tire and do looting now.

But do it chill-ly ok

Peaceful tire burning and small business looting are the favorite pastimes among Americans after all.

Same with angry tire burning.

Damn, I missed the opportunity to reply with the most recent time I used the word draped in my story.

Anyway, I’m gonna be honest. I’ve never understood this weird pseudo censorship thing as a concept. Like, does anyone on this planet (that speaks English) not know what I mean if I write the word r*pe? Does this measurably reduce the actual distress anyone emotionally triggered by this topic experiences? Is a child exposed to the partially censored word any less likely to have an awkward conversation with a parent?

When someone does it voluntarily as a way to… idk, symbolically censor themselves? I think it’s silly but whatever. It’s a stylistic choice meant to convey additional meaning. But an automated system doing it just seems… really weird. Just block the whole damn word if it’s that important. Swapping out a single letter accomplishes nothing. To be clear I’m against censorship in general, but censorship that doesn’t even censor anything pisses me off by being dumb AND ineffective!

so its a thing now.
I'll work "draped" in soon as I can.
cool word.

Banal is also a good word. And also sax.
So, "Let's do banal sax." is a wonderful sentence.

What in the fuck is this thread?
Maaan shut yo bitch asses up or lock it.
Something that could of been over and done with after just a handful replies turned into 5 pages. lmao

We got people getting anal over the word draped or drapes, which are common english words, that even I use every so often.
'I got some cool new dark drapes to block out the sun'. - 'She draped a blanket over the chairs and created a blanket fort for the kids'

If a title was censored because of it, so what? The site is babysat by bots, are you surprised? Use a different word and move on.
For example, my story wasn't accepted for the longest time until I removed the word diary from the title/synopsis.

Then we have hans and a mod giving each other the third degree over minor, autistic, volatile miscommunication for w/e reason.

Yeah, this has gone for long enough. I honestly have no idea what to even comment to continue the conversation. Or what the conversation even was to begin with, tbh.

I hereby propose, in order to turn the heat down and reduce toxicity, that the only acceptable comments in this thread moving forward be people posting the last time in their story they used the word draped, possibly including additional context.

“Dawn light shone through the window of a loft apartment in Port Peril, where six dresses draped over their stands, half finished but already lovely. The quiet, rhythmic lapping of waves against the cliffs was slowly joined by foot traffic and voices from the morning crowd. The young woman who owned the apartment rolled over and pulled the blankets up.”

I’m introducing a new character in this chapter, who is a tailor. It’s the first paragraph, chapter introduction.

I think one character "draped" their flesh over the other.
second skin kind of moment.
hey, you asked.

Hey, why am I getting roped into this... Or, uh, draped into this. Surely there's something less Dawny that can be shining.

 

[CharlesEBrown]

Nobody writes classic superheroes anymore?
He stood on the rooftop, his cape draped dramatically over his shoulder, his arms on his hips, surveying the city he'd sworn to defend to his dying breath.
Behind him, his sidekick, said: "Burritos?"
"You read my mind, old chum!"

lol. The rest of the scene is the tailor in question using telekinesis to do her morning routine in an incredibly grudging manner, heavily inspired by my wife who is NOT a morning person.

It being dawn light is vital to the scene. Vital I say!

Tell me the last time you used draped in one of your stories or in real life.

Have you never heard the experssion/question, "Does the carpet matches the drapes"?

Yo, can we stop with all the draped stuff? Jesus Christ, guys.

TheKillingAlice was on your side by explaining how it is a word that is used nowadays.

 

[ShrimpShady]

Love this thread

Started with censorship, then a debate about the word "drape", then a guy fighting a mod for some reason, and now debating the word again.





but...

"Draped" is a completely normal word, not archaic or purple in the slightest. If you disagree, read a book.

No, I only watch complete garbage and don't have any English-speaking family.

But after this thread, I don't think I'll ever be able to forget this word.

I have another word I want you to remember. "Futanari." It's Japanese, not English, but it's an important word.

EDIT: I just realized that in my other comment I misspelled "expression."

Meh, I don't like that word; it's not precise enough.

 

[Anonjohn20]

In that case can I interest you in the Greek version, "Hermaphrodite." Truly, a superior kind.

Ooh, sounds like a cool word. What does that mean?
Is it like a cool character trait?

Sounds even cooler. Would love to see a character with this kind of thing.

 

[Anonjohn20]

As a matter of fact it is.

Excellent!

 

[AdiofBali]

Hmm. I do wonder why I never see it in any media if it's so awesome?
I guess it's just too hard and take too long to write such girthy characters, huh?
Guess we have to wait until someone is ballsy enough to come into the picture and spread the seed of their popularity before we see them in mainstream media.
