if I am forced to use the same word twice in a paragraph I will explode

a meme

top panel is someone covering their eyes and looking away while throwing a dart at a dartboard and is labelled "writers deciding how to write the plot of their story"

bottom panel is someone at a computer on their desk with multiple screen, and the screens all have pages for different word searches on a thesaurus like "Good, said, laughed, walked, big"and is labelled "writers deciding which synonyms to use"

a meme

first panel is someone looking at some text that says "i write and create a new character"

next panel the person blinks, and text next to them that says [three immersive daydreams later]

final panel the person opens their eyes surprised to see text that says "they’re now way more important to the story than before and have a complex backstory because i like them too much"

people will look at classic dystopian sci-fi like "wow how did the author predict this would happen" and the answer is they didn't. they hoped and hoped this wouldn't happen. (some of them, the lucky few perhaps, even died believing the worst had been averted.) these writers took a look at terrible things happening around them, and imagined a future where these terrible things dominated and warped reality, and they held it up to the audience and said "see? does this future not appall you??? it has already begun."

dystopian fiction isn't a prediction. it is a warning and a PLEA

I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.
