    I Need To Make Something Clear

    I know I've been very absent lately but I still give advice to writers now and again as PMs. Lately there's been a problem which I need to remedy.

    My OCs are my own.
    Characters such as Cascadius, Colonel Peregrine, Nancy, Blue Murder, Tybalt, Shadowplay, Tungsten and others.

    Putting My Webcomic Out There

    Hi guys. Just to show you what I've been working on all this time.
    Deviantart and Tumblr are a bit...let's say shaky right now in terms of putting your art out there and I've been looking for more specialised sites for my webcomic.
    So I've finally got a Tapas page.
    The Tale Of Cao Aman

    Hi everybody. Sorry I've been so distant lately.
    Twenty-Seven years old today...and I'm told I still look seventeen. Don't ask me what my secret is, I'm just as puzzled, but not complaining.

    So I've Heard About The Rings Of Power

    So I'm actually quite looking forward to The Rings Of Power, the soon-to-be cinematic series based on Tolkien's Middle-Earth lore. The Lord of the Rings is probably my favourite film trilogy and, while it's debated to this day, I really enjoyed The Hobbit series.
    And there's something I feel I need to say...

It's That Easy, People · 5:42pm Sep 8th, 2019

(Me on Youtube, looks for a funny Tomato Gaming video)
(Sees the ad for Red Dead Online and its new black, female sheriff character)
Me: (Shrugs) Fair enough. Red Dead's not really my thing but if that's their angle, good luck. But I'd like to watch the video now. (Presses skip and at no point does the thought of blasting feminism online cross my mind)

It's that easy.

Yeah, some things shouldn't be taken so seriously. But I hate how youtube does now two ads in a row.

Yes, this. This makes sense.
However, you are operating under the false presumption that the internet is mature and sensible.
Also you forgot the mention the racism; "Red Dead is set in 1911, way before black people had proper rights! It's not realistic!" Reminds me of the Battlefield V trailer that way. It's a video game, calm the hell down.

It's also good to keep in mind people live to cause drama. It's absurd. and that's not even mentioning the media.

Ah well, you've got to make sacrifices somewhere.
Very little comes for free, even on the Internet.

I'm not one of those people.
I mean, yes, it's not realistic, but the whole point of Red Dead is be a bit more on the nose with this thing.
Hell, if it was realistic, the main character would probably have died from dysentry half-way through the story.
And besides, the premise of the game is that anyone can make a name for themselves in the Wild West if they're hard enough.
I am expecting backlash so I'm getting this out of the way first.
Frenzy is not mandatory for an audience. It's on them if they make a scene.
I want that known.

I agree with you totally. Even with the example I mentioned it's understandable because Battlefield has always been about real life events. But people here are just expecting something from RDR that it just doesn't have, and probably never will have.
And while we're on the topic of realism - the Red Dead series has McCree style bullet time for God's sake! What do you bloody expect?!

Yes. Its's annoying you got one long unskippable ad, think it's over, then another comes. Or worse, a long ad in the middle of the video
