A problem with posting dumb things like I did is that, while I didn't suddenly start to disagree with what I posted, it makes the Internet feel like a giant political echochamber. There are people who definetly agree with what I'd post but it'd still make them feel sick and tired because it's the last thing anyone wants to think about. Like I can complain about Twitter users, but I'm not any better if I just deconstruct everything and whine just like they do. It's a bit like the Internet version of DFW's essay about how TV shows became too influenced by TV watchers, in the end if I'm really gonna say this website is any different then I have to put in the effort to actually make it something different, rather than just having it be another tech blog whining about how bad Twitter is because someone he disagrees with is at the helm. This goes for the whole "neo-nostalgia" stuff as well, why whine about it when I'm really not any better? Even more pathetic in this case because I'm whining about what some dumb kids are doing. The whole thing was basically just a copy paste of some crap I saw on someone else's website anyways. If I get caught up in writing about that over and over and over I'll just get in a loop that I'll never get out of. I probably wouldn't care if it was archived, but it has no place being on the site. I don't have any big secrets to hide or whatever but the Internet has become an overwhelmingly oversharing place. I wanted to show that you don't really have to put your entire life out there for people, even if you're making a personal website. I haven't seen very many examples of johakyu in what I've read. From what I'm aware of, it's three act structure based on tempo. 'jo' is a slow start, leading into a middle tipping point 'ha' where the tempo irreversibly picks up into a quick finish 'kyu'. It's also uniquely Japanese, unlike how kishoutenketsu is much more generally Asian. It seems more geared towards smaller stories and seems less common than kishoutenketsu. I'd love to get a bigger breadth of practical modern examples. Understanding kishoutenketsu is arguably the most important missing link western fans have with modern Japanese storytelling, and I really don't think a single article I've read on the topic has done it justice. It's a structure I've noticed being used time and time and time again, like once you really come to realize just how often kishoutenketsu is used you never really un-notice it. It's there from the most basic 4koma pages to those giant modern day epics spanning hundreds of volumes, often being used in different layers. Despite this many people seem to disregard it, it's either the excuse for why Ghibli films or SOL anime don't seem to fit into traditional 3/5 act structure or used as the reason why some Japanese thing's story SUCKS, like one I saw about Persona 5. The irony is that the same person criticizing Persona 5 for using kishoutenketsu loved Nier Automata, which also used kishoutenketsu.... Good luck on the story. It seems pretty unique in the realm of Touhou fanfiction, I can't really say I've seen anything like it.

To anyone reading this now, I care very little for that article and it's not on the site.
