DC Comics No Nuance November

All complaints about "modern Harley Quinn" are things that have been predominant parts of her character the entire time.

Jason killing Joker would fall under self defense, even if Joker were to not be actively attacking him at the time.

Batman doesn't even think as highly of his abilities as Batman dudebros do.

Catwoman should have pride variant covers and even pride stories. The fact that bi women in love with men are seen as less queer is probably why she doesn't.

Knight Terrors Robin was really good.

Tim pulling Bruce off Jason in Batman 137 was in character. The idea Tim should've been okay with Bruce treating Jason badly because Jason's not been the perfect trauma survivor is rooted in abuse culture.

Tom Taylor is the human embodiment of performative "ally."

The stigma around fandom content is rooted I classism, misogyny, and queerphobia.

BDG’s construction of the Waluigi game has the same energy as tumblr’s construction of Goncharov.

“if you think transgenderism is real and people can just choose to be women then do you think that ollie london getting all those plastic surgeries to make himself look korean actually makes him asian??” my cousin is allergic to peanuts and whenever she’s exposed to peanuts she gets all red in the face and wheezy and her chest gets tight and she can’t breath. my brother can’t do too much exercise without needing to use an inhaler or else he gets all red in the face and wheezy and his chest gets tight and he can’t breath, so this must mean he’s allergic to exercise instead of having asthma, a completely different condition with different causes and treatments even though they can look similar in their presentation. this argument is so stupid different situations are different and people forget that similar doesn’t mean identical

No nuance November, except I'm just corrected and wont argue about it: White people SHOULD NOT be allowed to be curators, mangers, or reference historians in museum that are based on the histories, creations, or arts of people of color or PARTICULAR Black People and/or indigenous Peoples.

Maybe most ineffective no-nuance writing advice is susceptible to the problem of trying to find one or a few "problem items" and thinking like eliminating them in all possible circumstances is the objective forever key to objectively good writing.

Like, for a few examples:

Epithet overuse

No-nuance advice: You're saying your character's name too much. Call them by their hair colour or height so your prose doesn't suck bad forever. Cut out names to be good.

What might help people understand their writing better and what they're trying to accomplish: epithets draw attention to the trait you're pointing out, so if you're going to use one, it might be helpful to pick a relevant trait your narrator or protagonist might notice that means something instead of defaulting to their hair colour every time. Also, most people don't think of their friends through epithets all the time once they know their names, so consider what doing this does to the perceived level of familiarity we have with the cast.

"Mary Sues"

No-nuance advice: if your character is powerful and has weird coloured eyes and hair and is good at things and people like them, that's a Mary Sue and bad forever so don't ever give a character colourful design traits or talents. Cut out 'weird' designs and any skills to be good.

What might help: the trouble with "Mary Sues" is often their tendency to bend an established story, or the story they're in, to serve them when it's not realistic (or endearing to the audience, who might have liked the established world, actually!). Consider the worldbuilding you're using and if your new character fits that without having to sacrifice the characterization of every other character or the physical limits of what are possible in the world for this one extra character. There are ways to make a character Cool without also throwing away the foundations of enjoyable storytelling everywhere else, and it probably has very little to do with their eye colour, really.

(obligatory disclaimer that the term as it is used out of its Star Trek fanfiction context is not particularly helpful at also being meaningful 21st century writing advice especially since people's definitions of it range from "a character whose existence in the narrative bends the story in ways that don't make sense" to "a woman in a story that had a role" depending on which end of the sliding scale of credibility or lack thereof you ask :( obligatory disclaimer that I am using the term because you know what I'm trying to get at in general when I put the name in the post, and it's an effective catch-all term for the type of writing advice I'm trying to make fun of here even if it's not effective as general writing advice itself).

Said is dead

No-nuance advice: said is a bad plain boring word for bad plain boring writers. Use fancy synonyms all the time instead to prove your big vocabulary. Cut out 'said' to be good.

What might help: Too much unintended and prolonged repetition can be unpleasant to read for many, and too much 'said' can contribute to this. Use synonyms sometimes to enhance the meaning you're already trying to convey, but also vary your sentence structure so not every sentence is repetitive enough in form to warrant a dialogue tag, said or otherwise. Varied sentences of different lengths and styles can provide different effects, so using the ones that will get the intended point or pacing across better will make for more effective prose. There is no one magical dialogue tag to use or avoid that will fix the actual stylings of the prose.

Kill Your Darlings

No-nuance: everything you think is good is bad and you should take out the scenes you like. Cut out the parts you love for the sake of it.

What might help: Sometimes a scene you wrote that you thought is cool unfortunately, in retrospect, does not fit the tone, theme, worldbuilding, story, or something else of the book you intended to write. Please do not hesitate to edit or remove a piece just because you love it if it harms your vision for the rest of the book. A little utilitarianism might help you put the good of the whole book over the good of the one scene if the two cannot coexist peacefully.

I think a lot of advice that tries to be a 'life hack' for Objectively Good writing is reductive and lacks substance. If a piece of advice is suggesting you to remove something no matter what, and that's all you have to do to write well, it's no better than clickbait to me. The goal should be to try to understand what effect certain elements have on a story, so you can proceed knowing if the way you would like to utilise it is effective for the story you're trying to tell. But this requires nuance on the part of the advice provider, and maybe for them to concede that sometimes things they hate reading can be used effectively, and it requires the author to know what they're trying to do with the story they're telling. So it's a lot easier, perhaps, for a lot of people, to cut all exclamation points forever, cut all adverbs forever, so on and so forth, without learning how to use them effectively.

Now is the time for confessions.... I did not like the 2002 Red Dragon movie and actually consider it a bad adaptation (and a mid movie)....

So sorry to Edward Norton's Will Graham, he was cute, but he was not my Will Graham 😞

collectively we have got to get a thicker skin towards strange or otherwise anomalous seeming people existing near us in public spaces. this is a classism issue, a racism issue, an ableism issue, a transphobia issue, the list goes on. the balding man in an elsa dress, the homeless guy talking about his dead wife, the rumpled scowling woman pacing in circles and muttering to herself, none of these people are hurting anyone. i can make a whole list of stupid reasons people have shuffled away from me in urban centers, including but not limited to sniff testing the air, talking about the development of train safety features, having short and masculine hair, and smiling at babies from several feet away. especially in our globally connected society, we have GOT to learn to tolerate other people being people even if it unnerves you a little bit, or we’ll continue being an anxious, isolated, and self conscious society, just a proximity group of individuals more than anything. (by tolerate unnerving behavior i mean like. if you think that lady’s laugh is too loud, get over it. this doesn’t apply to stuff like being uncomfortable at wolf whistling and other actually predatory stuff like that, use nuance man)

I don't have as many as last year, but No Nuance November Miraculous Ladybug edition

I think Marinette suffers from something I've began dubbing the Teen Wolf effect where the show on the surface kinda ignores the fact that she isn't white until they need it to be plot relevant but if you look at it internally the way the writers write her specifically still treats her like she isn't even if they don't acknowledge it. like the structure with which the show was written itself hinges on the fact that she isn't and would not have been written the same way if she were. They are not doing this on purpose it's completely unintentional.

Sometimes symbolism is wrong actually.
