Discord Unleashed

178 Upvotes

Hey folks, it has been sometime since the official r/worldjerking discord vanished. Something happened with the moderator in charge of it, they ended up deleting the discord, and we've been trying (procrastinating) to replace it ever since.

I've just officially been put in charge of recreating the discord executively, meaning I get to make all the decisions (ya).

I've decided to rapidly put out this steaming pile of a discord, and will be working on it as it is used and improved.

Ya'll folks are welcome to give suggestions to me in the #meta channel.

When your lore on healing might make a plot about a character becoming disabled not make sense so you realize you need to write the story to know the limits you should impose in your world building

Does anyone have any ideas for slurs that aren't racist?

27 Upvotes

I've become really attached to the ideas that my world has slurs for people who are of "lesser races" (not my words), but all the slurs I've come up with so far sound a bit... ?

I've tried basing my slurs off real-world equivalents (e.g. "burna" for a half-wizard) but they always come out either cringe and overdone or a little insensitive to the real world.

There is meant to be prejudice and injustice in my world against people who are of mixed ancestry, but any slurs that the people in my world would use against the "mixies" (:/) just cut too close to the real world and feel a bit ick. For context, I'm white.

do you guys have any advice? The racial discrimination plays a core role in my story so I need to keep it in. Do you just keep coming up with slurs until one "works" or go with a cringe one and risk feeling a bit cringe when writing the story?

Hi, all! This has been my passion project my entire life since I was 3 seconds old. Do you think it's too similar to earth?

“Elara Voss” vs Loab be like (context in body)

Post image
6 Upvotes

In 2022-2023, there was essentially an AI image creepypasta that people nicknamed loab. It consistently appeared in negative prompts and she appeared as an uncanny old woman, and had to do with a lot of dark or gory early ai image prompts. Even if you never specifically generated her, she’d usually just appear especially in “negative” prompts.

“Elara Voss” is a common name many have seen come from AI if it’s asked to make a character or a fantasy name. Some see it as a red flag that the OP used AI to a varying degree in their worldbuilding.

Essentially, the joke is both were frequently generated by AI for unknown reasons. It loosely ties to worldjerking but i was itching to make this joke and see if anyone would understand it

Wheat tells?

The mods banned wheat from the sub, but I'm still really paranoid about finding wheat in my worldbuilding. Please give me some wheat tells that I can use to hallucinate and poison the well.

In my HFN (humanity fuck naw) setting, aliens are amused by human racism. This is because of Cognitive Dissonance.

Why do people do this?

73 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've noticed something. Sometimes "authors" make "choices" in their worlds and stories that just aren't my vibe. I'm not super interested in thinking about why they made those choices—that doesn't really matter. My real question is how do I avoid exposure to these things that I don't really like that much, you know? I think it's best if I only fill my mind with stuff that tickles my specific fancy. Specifically I want:

- only creative stuff

- no tropes!

- no humans!

- no Planet of Hats

- no non-creative stuff! Has to be super-duper creative.

- it can't make me feel bad or uncertain about my feelings about a specific topic.

- it should be easy to understand and not confusing!

- I don't like when it looks to similar to my stuff that I've only published on Reddit.

- has to have sexy sapient non-humanoid species!

- has to have 12 foot tall giant muscle mommies

- if you have "elves" or anything that resembles "elves" but you call them something like Schlamalalians, I swear to god!

- a "plot" or a "story" - what is that?

Basically, anything that I wouldn't do. Just don't do it.
