We Don't Have To Do Anything For You Actually! - Tumblr Posts

Seriously? People are getting ANGRY over authors using words not everybody understands?

OKAY, these people are either immature, stupid, or have had literally every single thing handed to them in life.

Creators shouldn't have to cater to the people with these insane demands, and this one is just RIDICULOUS!

If you're getting angry over petty stuff like this, maybe it's time to use that thing in your head. You know, your FREAKING BRAIN! USE IT! THINK FOR ONCE AND YOU WON'T BE BORED ENOUGH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS NONSENSE!

This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.

I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.

You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.
