Is comma usage somewhat subjective? I'm very cautious with my work and I'm constantly searching up comma rules to make sure I've gotten it right. In doing this though, I've realized that whether or not you use a comma is often up to the preference of the author.

The idea of standard grammar and ortography only came about roughly 450 years ago. No one bothered about it for the longest time. Don't fall for the European trap of thinking grammar books contain accurate descriptions of languages they're nothing but rulebooks meant to be thrown in the trash or followed if you want to look like a bussy

I don’t know if I would consider exposing your hedonistic gluttony and fetishistic desires for all the world to see to be honest. It’s quite clearly a fetish in which he gets off being humiliated as a public spectacle; the further down the hole he sinks the better. It’s a completely self-constructed version of himself that resides in his ego. He is just so committed to the delusion at this point that this hedonistic world in which he’s created has slowly manifested into the only world he knows. It’s far from honest, in my opinion.

I somewhat get what you’re saying here. There has to be at least some connection between your inner self and constructed self in order to validate the degradation. I think the link of honesty connecting the two is there only to validate the fetish, without a link he’d just be acting like a fool for no reason at all. This form of honesty is only there to make the fetish worthwhile, as the juxtaposition between how he used to behave and how he behaves now, is what gets him aroused. I imagine a similar type of thing happens a person who is aroused by rape foreplay ; they wouldn’t want to actually be raped but they don’t mind acting it out with someone they trust because there is a form of honesty differentiating their desire, a fantasy, from the real thing, which would be traumatizing. The link of honesty resides in the subconscious as a sort of safety mechanism.

Fuck no it didn't. Although more extensive nowadays ancient cultures in Mesopotamia would attempt to write out grammar and standardize it for the purpose of maintain a standard language for an empire more effectively. The Greeks and Roman's also wrote of their grammar with much more depth.

Dude I'm not in grade school. I'm aware of the basic rules, I'm talking about when you get into more ambiguous situations. There are sentences where you don't necessarily have to use commas, but they are used regardless by the writer for pacing/some other stylistic reason.

honestly grammar is a spook even without fullstops it only becomes marginally harder to understand unless youre a fucking retard of course then it might be hard for you to comprehend i treat grammar as a courtesy to the reader if i dont give a shit about whos reading it then they can go fuck themselves
