/r/WritingPrompts

You are a giant fagot who can't think of anything to write on his own. Certain of your mediocre doom you find this wacky website with a board where you can ask for help. You post, asking for writing prompts, and are expecting good advice but are instead met with insults, misinformation, and zero insight from where you began. Suicide is not far off.

this is the front page of the writing prompts sub now. I don't even know how a person can read this amount of insipid pop culture references and not realize something is horribly wrong with their world

/r/WriteMyShittyPopCultureRipOffStoryForMe

This is a good idea in theory. A vague scene, a short sentence, an image or just a couple of words are a really great way to get the imagination going. I've written some neat stories from prompts, but they have to still be very vague and open to interpretation to actually produce anything of value.

r/WritingPrompts used to actually be good (I think). I went on there in high school and it had some good prompts that I had fun responding to. I think it suffered from the mainstream reddit sub problems where low effort content gets upvoted and then others only see the low effort content and mimic it, rinse & repeat. Like the death of r/LateStageCapitalism

>what is pandering to an audience
>what is writing comedy literature
>what is parody

r/writingprompts is shit but this obsession over what ledditors do is embarrassing.

What gets me angrier than the shitty pop-culture references is the fact that prompts are always addressed in the second person. What gets me angrier than that, is the fact that every single prompt works better with some kind of one line joke then an actual prompt.
