#BackButton
Why can't someone fix the backbutton on notifications? I try to repost everyone but it always takes me back to just 1hr. 😠

Started listening to a podcast about the allegations against Neil Gaiman only to have to backbutton when the host started saying consent doesn't make BDSM okay.

This kind of talk only further muddles the water and makes victims of abuse who consented to BDSM less likely to come forward.

Reading what the author assumes to be a very serious story about a character oding and how it makes the POV character feel and they’ve gone and spelled it “heroine”. I may have to backbutton

shoutout to sony giving us a modular backbutton attachment for the dualshock 4 only to follow it up by gatekeeping first party back buttons behind a $200 controller on the PS5

Nothing makes me backbutton out of a fic faster than Astarion being called "little star" and his reaction NOT being to stab the person who said it, lmao

well not everyone enjoys the same things but wow

one can just use a backbutton instead of being rude

/i consider it rude

This person is definitely a tourist because writing fic in first person will basically get you killed in some fandoms.

Even Y/N is considered backbutton worthy so a lot of writers do second person and come up with a nickname for the character or just don’t name her/him!

(Not about any of mine) Y'know, if a fic isn't doing it for you anymore the backbutton is right there, you don't need to say anything. It costs zero dollars/quids/currency of choice.

Yeah I can decide for myself if I don’t like a fic! If I don’t like it, I backbutton.

I only bookmark fics I enjoyed, and I do that because it means I don’t have to search for them again if I’d like to reread.

What's the pettiest thing that makes you backbutton out of a fic? Mine is paragraph indentations and/or fully justified text

For real, just backbutton and choose something else. We're spoiled for choice!

I'm a big fan of judging a piece of media by what it's trying to do/be, instead of whether I personally like it or if it's "objectively good" by some standard or other. But ymmv, of course.

Found a fanfic with an interesting concept but had to backbutton bc all the characters are suffering from a bad case of "talking like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy"

Like it's genuinely a fucking problem I want DRAMA

Yeah that's an immediate backbutton for me.

followed by the death of a member will make me backbutton out of a story immediately, no matter how minor of a role they have in the story.

The first paragraph of this reminded me why, as an avid reader of food/recipe sites, I've learned that phrases like "clean eating" & photos of thin blonde cooks are major hit-the-backbutton red flags

14/14 Side note: back button behavior on the site! A minor but interesting point. #webdev #ux #backbutton

My only gripe is it’s not great at backbutton focus. Or rather, it’s not built for it really.
November 25, 2023 at 6:15 PM
It is tbh. I keep thinking I should leave. I can’t take another “what makes you instantly backbutton out of a fic?” that basically descends into slagging off M/F in general 😩
