What would you get out of a - thread that you can't get in a normal one? I believe + threads mean "the premise of this topic is not up for debate," not necessarily "stay positive." What would a - thread even mean?

I just can't believe Brennan stole my idea from a random post I made in 2022! I just hope I get my name in the credits!

Yeah, if it came out now we'd definitely be talking about the colonialism, racism, and the author's outspoken antisemitism.

I can help you with that! Twilight: teaches unhealthy lessons about relationships, and features an age gap that's "May / December" to an insane degree. It's basically the Roblox of romance vampire fiction. Divergent: never read or watched. Hunger Games: a lazy rip-off of Japanese media, the...

I guess if you don't want to read criticism of works you enjoy, don't read unpopular opinions about them? I will say, with Roald Dahl, his antisemitism is well documented. As an elementary school teacher who is culturally Jewish, I've debated whether to have his books in my classroom library...

It would have been much more interesting if Harry had wound up in Slytherin and had to figure out how to survive boarding school and a fascist takeover while being vilified by the rest of Hogwarts. Convincing the children of wizard supremacists to resist facism, stand up for muggles, and unite...

It's not one that I'll bring up in casual conversation but it's one I still stand by!

Is this the show where a Xenomorph tours Earth and reviews all the best food spots?

They all got hired by Darrington Press.

Bone Collectors. Carnivorous caterpillars that live in spider webs. They eat prey caught by the spider, and to disguise themselves they cover themselves with parts of the dead insects stuck in the web! I like the idea of the characters fighting a big monster, and then giant carnivorous...

The game went very, very well! Everyone bought into the campaign world and got really into the mystery! As they untangled more and more of the web of deceit and family tragedy there were visceral reactions from the players. Having a random guilty person worked really well. It kept the suspense...

Here's some of the art I made pre-pandemic that I'm using in the adventure... Everyone gets one of these "iron badges" showing they are a Plague Dog, a holy hunter of demons: Here's a Barley Imp, which gets created in the blight that's afflicting the farmlands: Here's a map of the Golden...
