How to X Your Y
10 years ago
Did you know that How to Train Your Dragon came out more than 5 entire years ago? And that by this point most every furry has seen it, let alone heard of it (or seen the sequel, or the TV series, or bought the merchandise...)?
Did you also know that titling your submissions "How to [verb] your [species]" has been so consistently overdone that they have long ceased to be amusing or clever or even mildly original? (Also, why do so many people want to name their porn after a children's movie?)
Look, furries, I know the internet has trained you through memes to think that copying other people in this way makes you clever, but you're really not. You're just being uncreative and annoying. I'm not saying that every title has to be totally unique and original, but enough with the movie-title puns already. We get that a lot of people liked the movie because it was cute. That doesn't mean you need to title your porn art to mimic it. (Even if it has Toothless in it, but furries' love of sexualizing characters who never do anything remotely sexual is a subject for another time.)
Sincerely, Everyone else.
Also I would like to propose that every time someone posts a pinup titled "Like What You See" or "See Something You Like" as many people as possible just comment "No." Because there's no way there's a submission title more ludicrously overdone than that one, and we have to break the habit somehow.

:v
Stuff like that used to bother me, but I guess I just let it wash over me these days. It might be a bit of a lost cause.
HTTYD itsself is a good example, as is the sequel even more so. Save the Cat movies - they use a very common story structure which has been tested in focus groups and the market place and determined to be the optimal story for maximizing audience emotional engagement and audience satisfaction. The details can be switched around every time, but the core stays the same.
And don't even get me started on Pocahontas The Last Samurai Dances with Avatars in Fern Gully.
SO BADLY.
-If the post in question is titled with a stupid question (what's 60 + 9?), give it a stupid answer (42! Everyone knows this. The book is 36 years old now!).
-If it's titled in a way intended to be witty but isn't (How to train-wreck your dragon), outwit the author (Choo Choo Motherfucker! https://youtu.be/gj87VTEJL4o?t=3m5s).
-If it's just bad. unsubscribe, get up, go outside or something.
IDK what else to add...
K thanks Bie
