FH draft... done? · 9:25am Apr 5th, 2015
Okay, my rust is really showing. It took me months to finally get this FH chapter done, and I fell short of my aim of making it at least 5000 words. What I got was a almost 4000 worded chapter, which I had been planning to add to, but realized that this was a good place to stop. I can give you a lot of reasons. One was for some reason, my computer kept hanging on me when I wrote a few paragraphs, which I think I fixed after removing the 'Make available offline' option. Another was stumbling to a rather interesting social cultural movement in the west that is scaring me a bit.
You can thank Firesight for it for introducing me to the weird and wacky world of feminism gone completely bonkers.
As this isn't really an opinion piece, I won't really comment on the what I think is the complete transformation of a movement I looked on. Maybe another blog piece? Or maybe just keep these thoughts to myself? Who knows.
I still haven't gotten the job. It got slightly annoying, especially since I didn't even spend that free time writing. My cat's preggy, and my family and I are watching her with some apprehension. I haven't socialized much. And I think this latest chapter of mine is in need of improvement.
Basically, lazy writer problems.
Anyway, I plan to write another FH chapter after this before diving in Changeling Roun again, while I still have the story on my head. Still, I hope you enjoy the chapter once it comes out. Later.
Oh man. I know a more than a few people, including myself, who are going to love seeing FH get an update.

Yeah. sorry for the delay dude. Or dudette.
2947957 You've provided me with many hours of entertainment over the last few years without asking for anything in return. The last thing you owe me is an apology.
I'm just glad to 'hear' from you again and know that FH is still on going. No pressure bro, just finish what you can in your on time
2947965 agreed. no appologies necessary.
I learned about the cream of the feminist crazy from this YouTube channel.

Some of them... just... wow.
It's awesome to hear about upcoming chapter updates.
TL;DR (Too Lazy; Didn't Read)
In all seriousness though I do know where you're coming from... Minus the cat bit, my family always listened to Bob Barker.

Unfortunately, I like putting pressure on myself, just to make sure I'm being productive. Even if that productivity is basically writing Fanfiction.
2948041
He's me favorite, mostly because of the 'this week in stupid' video. I do try to listen to other opinions, and honestly, I'm taking his side most of the time.
2948061
Who is that?
2948178 A little pressure is a good thing. It breeds progress.
It's just a shame some people don't know how to moderate it, and they push themselves until they brake their will to write at all, or they start to verbally flail themselves if a chapter is a little late.
personally, I blame the idiots who start claiming a story is dead if it goes a month without an update.
As for Sargon. Yea I find myself on his side almost all of the time.... its just a shame his video's have made me loose allot of respect for a few people I liked. Moviebob, Jim sterling and Adam Sessler too name three.
2948178
2948178 ... You're dead to me.
Dead.
Finally. I'll get around to prereading in the next day or two (I used to be Eratosthenes BTW). And yeah, feminism as presented by tumblr is a barrel of crazy.
Didn't mean to scare you, sorry. Guess I'll have more to say on the subject of feminism in a blog post a bit later.
But seriously... I'm very happy to hear that FH is continuing. That's the one story I really look forward to seeing more of. As 2947965 said, you've provided us with tons of free entertainment and have spawned an entire fanverse we all love. We owe you far more than you owe us!
Life happens, and you roll with it. Do what you have to, work at your own pace, and remember you have friends back here whenever you need a hand or sympathetic ear.
Feminism... *groan* It's not really a new thing; feminism has been a force for good in the world for almost a century. Much like the concept of affirmative action, it's a great way to level the playing the field and allow traditionally disenfranchised groups to participate within the systems of business, government, etc.
For the large part, it still performs this task — allowing female gamers a chance to improve their status in that community for example — but for some reason when feminism made the jump to internet, something went horribly, horribly, badly wrong.
Even so, lets face it: no matter how bad tumblr feminism is, it will never be as awful as the Men's Right's Movement. I have yet to hear a tumblr feminist say anything as nutty as, "women must have sex with me or I will go insane." Until that happens, count me as being a fence-sitter.
What's important is you're back and we've missed you. Now lets get some new FH in here! And some nachos!

His last video was pretty much gold. He put a clip of the new Season five episodes, and asked Bronies to save us from social justice oppression. I am afraid to tell him that we are too busy fighting amongst ourselves to even do this, considering the so many varieties of fandom on the early works of misantrophy. But hey. Why not.
#BronyGate
Also, thanks to him and The Amazing Atheist, I realized how Laci Green seemed to lost her way.

I'm not exactly a native westerner, friend.
2948423
Why the hell would you change your name!?
2948444
You didn't really scare me. I just wondered how far feminism had fallen since I kinda stopped admiring the movement. Never in my life would I have believed it would get this worse.
2948499
I wish the actual moving feminists would leash the crazy loud vocals. But even looking at some of their moves, I'm seeing signs that they aren't exactly moving to stop it. I think because it's getting things done. I mean, look at this: Colleges with lessons that tells men that they are rapists and should be re-educated? Feminists defending two girls from jail time because they sexually humiliated a boy suffering from autism (they made a dog do the sexual act)? The UVA rape that didn't happen, and the results of blaming a fraternity, ending with a non-ender "We aren't closing the case because something might have happened..." shtick?
I am seeing strong women left and right going far away from the feminism name, and Emma Watson coming up with probably the oddest name for a movement. #HeForShe? How about #HeWithShe, Emma? Or how about actually spreading feminism in countries that direly need it?
Ugh, I'm gonna stop. I guess I'm just really disappointed because I was a supporter of feminism, especially when they were calling for gender equality.

To confuse people of course
2950196 Ok... he's the NA equivilent of Bruce Forsyth. Plus he was in Happy Gilmore (back when Adam Sandler wasn't annoying as hell for me)
2950196
Urgh... thanks for reminding me those pissant misanthropes exist.
But yea. I got a 'Beware the people who claim they are pro Equality… Most of the time they don’t want to you be equal to them… but everyone to be equal under them.' vibe from the episode. Didn't see the connection to SJW until now...
I honestly can't decide if the thought of SJW throwing a hissy fit at MLP is just depressing, or absolutely fucking hilarious.

My only advice is never to lose sight of that ideal of seeking equality. If there's one scary cultural movement in the West at the moment, it's our trend toward radicalization. Everyone wants to be on the winning side of an argument, and it's all too easy to scrape together enough bad examples of "the other side" to convince us to start a fight when we should be encouraging others to find common ground. If we aren't actively working to improve society and treat everyone better, then we are probably letting things get worse. Don't let evil fester, but don't be convinced to hate others based on some cherry-picked evidence, either.
2951629
I'm not hating them. I'm just horrified at what's going on. To be honest, I think they are the ones hating with cherry-picked evidence, but since I don't live there, it's not really my place to comment. I'll just... not go there.
2950196 "Or how about actually spreading feminism in countries that direly need it? "
Honestly ? they would be shot there faster than they can blurt "equality" or something...
i see it just as alarming rates of female trolling, but maybe it's worse in america, what do i europoor know xD
but thanks good that you are still keep writing, it like waiting for monthly or bi monthly manga, so you have not to worrie about a thing haha
(700 stories on the read later list. about 100 chapters of favorits to catch up to)
2950196 We agree that it's a shame what's happened to the movement.

UK bans pornography. Just one example. XD Europeans are taking a nice bite out of this cake too.
2955080
wait so no more internet in the UK ? because, you know, 4chan and stuff ? poor girls who are total into yaoi hardcore hentais ...
2957691
Well, not all porn, but this is no longer allowed:
Spanking
Caning
Aggressive whipping
Penetration by any object "associated with violence"
Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
Urolagnia (known as "water sports")
Role-playing as non-adults
Physical restraint
Humiliation
Female ejaculation
Strangulation
Facesitting
Fisting
I may be a little paranoid, but this seems to be setting up a precedence of censorship on what is 'wrong'. I am still confused why those specifically. Maybe the traditionalists are finally taking a stand. Who knows.
2959265 no 50 shades of grey anymore in british bookstores ?
2963881
As it is not considered pornography, I doubt it. Besides, could you imagine how many women would protest? With the current political climate, I doubt the Censors would even dare.
2963891 oh but i thought it has all of the listed things in it ... and books are a mass media just as TV or the internet or radio, where is my equality ?!?!
2963902
In Equestria, apparently. XD
