YourNightlyRamble - "Inclusivity"
Added 2024-08-31 19:49:47 +0000 UTCPlease let me know your honest thoughts about this.
Also I was standing and swaying while recording, so floor creeks are heard.

My rule of thumb is to go subjective from the point of view of the speaker, for instance "I love your ass" or if you wanted to be even more vulgar, something like "the sound your ass makes when I slap it" etc, basically if it's the speaker's PoV, who can argue? A listener may have mixed feelings on their ass, but I didn't ask them, this is the speaker talking, lol! I think for things like "small" it becomes a safe bet when your speaker is like 6'6+ or something beyond human like that; at that point it gets funny because while someone might not be small objectively, it's deeply amusing to imagine a 6'2 listener being called short because the speaker is like a seven foot tall werewolf or something.

2024-08-31 21:47:39 +0000 UTCSomething that comes to mind as well is when writing audios, it is common to overthink what should be said. How the listener's anatomy should be referred to. Like saying, "You have a perfect ass." Well what if the listener doesn't agree and they're not happy with what they've got? Thoughts like that start to spiral and sometimes the process from the difference of vague and subjective feel skewed at times and makes the whole thing an over-thinking mess.

2024-08-31 21:11:12 +0000 UTCI appreciate the kind words, Tricia, good morning! I can see their point of views clear as day and I don't argue them. As I have and will keep saying, I only want to make audios that everyone can comfortably listen to and try not to make too many goofs.

2024-08-31 21:04:10 +0000 UTCAll I can really say about it is I do what I can and make sure people are happy with what is given. There's been times when I refer to the listener as 'small,' but I always just imagined it's because the character I'm portraying is a very large individual. (I am a very large individual.) lol Overall, I agree with your words. Writing such scenarios can be done and has been done, but can also be difficult. Then with difficulty, comes slip-ups.

2024-08-31 20:59:31 +0000 UTCGood morning beautiful Nightly. You are completely correct in that I would skip over an audio that I couldn't immerse into. Having said that, I understand why some people might want more specificity, and in that case, perhaps they should order something privately. For me, please keep doing what you do. Your work is wonderful and brings a little bit of magic into our lives β€π₯°

2024-08-31 20:52:14 +0000 UTCI think this is okay if writers are genuinely careful to not accidentally do "tells" related to specific traits. For NSFW audios, genitals are the hardest to dodge, but plenty of people to X4A audios just fine. (All hail the omnipresent "hole.") Most people who have this stance accidentally slip on skin color ("pale") or weight ("fit" "small" "light") most frequently. I'd honestly say probably more audios do than don't, and like you said, nothing breaks immersion faster than going into something supposedly for you and getting immediately hit in the face with "not you." Being wordlessly excluded with that kind of frequency is what prompts people to ask for ones that explicitly ARE for them, because no one is accidentally slipping "dark" or "fat" into their supposedly-all-inclusive audios. I don't think I've ever even heard so much as a "bronzed." But that being said I do self-insert stories and strictly non-descriptive scripts too. It can absolutely be done, it's just extra important not to have an oopsie-daisy (or 5) if you come down firm on this stance; that's when the side-eyes start in my experience.
