I’m writing a story about a biracial superhero. He’s in his 20s, and his dad is a extremely wealthy Black businessman. His mom is Japanese, and she comes from a wealthy family. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is something about his family’s history that resurfaces, and it connects to his powers. He is basically trying to find out what it is. My friend says the story is stupid and no one would want to read it.

 

Red pill 'alpha' guys claim wealthy men don't care about a woman's background and will date poor women, yet they often mock women seeking rich men. In reality, wealthy men tend to date within their social class. Look at Jeff Bezos, David Beckham, or Leonardo DiCaprio—these men date successful women who are already rich or from wealthy families. Even with large age gaps, the younger partners are still well-off. It seems red pill guys overstate the idea that rich men don't care about a woman's status when, in practice, they do.

This is not an unpopular opinion

You'd be surprised—I've seen people on Twitter and Reddit excuse criminals doing horrible things because they are poor.

 

If you found out your cousin was a billionaire (non-famous) and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, how would you react? Would you be mad he didn’t tell you?

 

For example, if a wealthy person only wants to socialize with and date other very wealthy people, how would they know? Like, for example, what if LeBron James or Tyler Perry only wanted to be friends with other wealthy people and wanted their kids to only date and marry people from other wealthy families? How would they know the people they meet also come from multi-millionaire families? I'm sure if a random billionaire met someone at a club or social event, they wouldn't introduce themselves by saying, "I'm X, Y, and Z, and I'm worth this much money." What if a son of a multi-millionaire wanted to date a woman who came from a wealthy family? Also, if he meets a woman, how would he know if she comes from money or not? Like I said, she wouldn't say, "I come from generation wealth" right off the bat.

 

All art is political so what is the political message of Spongebob?

 

Title.

 

Taking fiction aside, if there were a real-life non-lethal vigilante, how would the criminals they catch legally go to prison? The vigilante broke the law to gain evidence, so all the evidence the vigilante obtained would be thrown out, and every criminal would walk. As messed up as it is, The Punisher and Dexter make sense, because the only way a vigilante can really be successful is if he just straight up kills the criminals.

 

What comic books, movies, and TV shows are blatantly copycats or rip-offs of previous comics, movies, or shows, but despite being a copycat or rip-off, are still pretty good?

 

Hypothetically, my daughter is a defense attorney. My son is dating a woman who, while driving under the influence, kills my cousin’s 16-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old child. My son asks his sister to defend his girlfriend—would that be legally allowed? For context, my cousin’s father is my mother’s brother.

 

Dude, in Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Empire, Succession, even in some K-dramas about wealthy people, they’re wearing designer stuff in every episode—even in their casual streetwear, hell, even their nightclothes! Is this unrealistic, or do rich people actually have ALL high-end designer clothes? Do some have shirts from Walmart or something?

 

Do people in their 20s who come from multimillionaire families engage in illegal street racing? If so, why?

 

There is a lot of fanfic from AI, like Claude AI, and this AI is terrible at coming up with good dialogue. For example, in a Superman & Lois fanfic, Jonathan Kent, who’s 23, gets powers through an accident and becomes a superhero in Metropolis. He’s been active for two years, and when Lois finds out she gets mad and demands answers, feeling entitled to information she doesn’t deserve.

When Jon tells her straight up, “I don’t care about you or your opinion. Leave me alone,” she refuses. And when Jon is verbally mean to her, all the characters treat him hostilely.

I’m sorry, but this is all on Lois. If someone tells you to your face they don’t want you around and you refuse to leave their apartment or leave them alone, then if they verbally abuse you, hurt your feelings, or cuss you out, you kind of deserve it.

There was another story that’s supposed to be a super grounded family drama where this cousin, who’s super far left, finds out her younger cousin is a multi-millionaire lawyer and the head of a law firm. The cousin goes into the law firm (somehow security didn’t stop her) and goes to his office to get answers, and she’s mad he didn’t tell her he’s wealthy. The lawyer eggs her on, makes fun of her, etc.

First of all, this is supposed to be a super realistic drama story, but this entire thing is unrealistic. First, it’s not her business how much money her cousin has. It doesn’t matter if he has a hundred million or a billion; it’s none of her business.

Second, there is no way in hell a random person is walking through the building and going up to his office. It doesn’t matter if she’s his cousin. If she was his wife or kid, maybe, but she’s just a cousin. Security would have aggressively escorted her out. She wouldn’t even make it to his office.

And no lawyer or businessman would give her the time of day. Most lawyers and businesspeople are very mature and professional, so they wouldn’t waste time having a political debate with some random family member. If his security is so bad that she manages to get through the front door, the lawyer would call security and she would be escorted out or arrested.

Overall, the dialogue is just so bad. Characters have such non-reactions to things, or they overreact. AI will constantly have characters say, “That’s not nothing,” when no one talks like that.

They are always melodramatic or overdramatic, or they have such a non-reaction. Characters go from 1 to 100 in the blink of an eye.

Why is AI so bad at this? The characters are so beyond stupid to the point where, even if something bad happens, you don’t feel bad for them because they’re idiots.

business savvy

mean, it’s false to say Tyler Perry is not a good businessman. He may make shit movies, but he knows the people who like his movies don’t care and will support the slop.
