"There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you"

-Maya Angelou

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

But we don't see any affects of that. The Metal Bending police aren't shown oppressing non-benders. The Council isn't shown making decisions that favor benders. They aren't shown doing anything really other than responding to the Equalists. It's a purely liberal understanding of government where representation is all that matters, aesthetics.

For instance the victory for non-benders is shown to be having an (I think elected) non-bender president. But what actually changes from that? Metal Benders are still the police, benders are still the military. My complaint is that they only show the surface level, which is why the Equalist movement feels so hollow.
