>isekai
>uses racial slurs
so why would he say nigger? in the current project I'm drafting there's the main humanoid race, but there are also multiple beast races, and the main characters are their own non beast race. There are plenty of slurs used in mine, but they're in universe slurs. do something like that, because I guarantee if you even type "N" the mods are going to come down on you like a ton of bricks

Ἐπαμεινώνδας ἄτεκνος ἀποφνήσκων
ἔλεγε τοῖς φίλοις, "Δύο θυγατέρας
ἀπέλιπον, τήν τε περὶ Λεύκτραν
νίκην καὶ περὶ Μαντίνειαν."

Epaimeinōndas sine fīliīs moriēns
dīcēbat amīcīs, "duās fīliās
relīquī, eam Leuctrīs
victōriam et alteram Mantinēae."

Epameinondas, as he was dying childless,
said to his friends, "Two daughters
have I left behind, the victory in Leuctra
and the other in Mantinea."

Same test with Gemini.

Option 1 (Maintains a flowing, descriptive style):

Late summer found us in a village house, gazing across the river and plains towards the distant mountains. The riverbed shimmered, its water a ribbon of blue snaking through bleached pebbles and boulders. Troops marched down the road, kicking up dust that powdered the leaves overhead. Even the tree trunks wore a film of dust. The leaves, restless in the early autumn air, began their descent, swirling down as the soldiers trudged onward. We watched them disappear in a cloud of dust, leaving the road stark white except for the scattered autumn leaves.

Option 2 (Tightens the language for a more concise approach):

Late summer. We lived in a village house overlooking the river and plains, mountains a distant blur. The riverbed, a mosaic of dry, white pebbles and boulders, glinted in the sun. Crystal-clear water rushed through narrow channels. Troops marched, cloaking the road and trees in dust. Even the leaves succumbed, falling prematurely. We watched them go: soldiers, dust, leaves – a scene etched in memory. The road lay bare and white, littered only with fallen leaves.

Changes Made:

Sentence variety: Replaced some repetitive sentence structures.
Removed redundancy: Combined "dry and white" and "swiftly moving and blue."
Figurative language: Added similes ("ribbon of blue," "film of dust") to enhance imagery.
Strong verbs: Replaced "went by" with "marched" and "powdered" with "kicked up" for a stronger image.

Gemini Draft 2:
Late summer draped itself over the village. Our house perched on a rise, gazing across the sun-drenched river and plains towards the distant, hazy mountains. The riverbed shimmered with a mosaic of dry, white pebbles and boulders, while the water itself, a ribbon of clear blue, danced swiftly through its channels.

Troops snaked their way down the road, kicking up a plume of dust that powdered the leaves of the roadside trees. The dust clung stubbornly to their trunks, and a strange hush fell over the village. The leaves, sensing an early autumn, surrendered to the breeze, swirling and cascading down as the soldiers marched on. We watched, transfixed, until the road stretched empty before us, a stark white canvas save for the fallen leaves, the only remnants of the passing parade.

Draft 3:
Late summer draped itself over the village that year. Our house sat perched, gazing across the sun-baked riverbed—a canvas of white pebbles and boulders—toward the distant mountains. The river itself, a ribbon of clear blue, hurried through the channels. Troops marched past, kicking up dust that powdered the leaves overhead. Even the tree trunks wore a dusty coat. The season seemed to sigh, and the leaves surrendered early, swirling down as the soldiers trudged along the road. Dust rose in a swirling cloud, leaves danced a chaotic ballet, and then… silence. The road stretched bare and white, littered only with the fallen soldiers of autumn.

Probably the best guide for beginner writers. with proper study of the fundamentals of course

Juvenile delinquency is rooted in adult delinquency.

I, stupidly, came up with a character that casually uses racial slurs for my isekai meant for RoyalRoad mid-development.
I swear it's important for his character, I'm not going just for the "funny haha he says NIGGER", there's a point to him being like that just like there's a point to another of my characters being an ex-idol and being brutally raped.

Should I ask them how their policy would fit those? I'm shy.

How can such small country produce so many writers?

The Net Zero plan for the British govt calls for the end of paper production by the 2030s due to the energy consumption involved. This came out at the same time as the 'no white male authors' BS. The publishing industry is being deliberately imploded.
Internal combustion engines are to be phased out with no new aircraft after 2035. Look at how Boeing's management continually work to implode the company. They are fulfilling the aims of their ultimate paymasters.

LOTR tries to be too many things at the same time. Tries to cover too much ground. The Hobbit is a better work, without even trying.

Typical women, goes on a long rant how she doesn’t want a certain type of guy and by the end it’s clear she 1000 percent does in fact want that type of guy.

Check yourself against them, sure. Think of what they sought, certainly.
But the first step to reaching them is to drop the notion that you are in any way close to them.

But to triangulate against the Mormon here and not just stab Catholicism, at least the Catholics have a claim to apostolic succession. Mormons are just Islam 2
