I haven't really been active on FP so I cant say much, but I will hazard that there will always be rampant stealing on the internet, haha.

what annoys me is when there are girl characters that hate on other girls (sometimes for things like NOT WANTING THEIR BOYFRIEND TO LEAVE THEM FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER, HOW DARE THEY). it just seems like there's overuse of words like "SKANK" and "SLUT" and it makes me cringe.

grammar stuff ticks me off if it's more than just an oversight. like, if the person just didn't edit carefully enough, whatever, but if they seriously don't know how to write, it bothers me.

which is rich coming from me, because I have terrible grammar. whatever, that's what a beta is for!

It's funny you should mention the skank/slut thing because, on a side note: the girls at my high school used to greet each other like that.

"Hi, bitch."

"What's up, skank? <333"

It's really... weird.

there are girls at my college who talk like that... of course, I live right near the sororities, which is where most of that went on. I mean, if it's jokey, it doesn't bother me obviously. well, it is kind of extremely weird, but you know, whatever.

apparently it might be a semi normal thing for a certain part of society. I say this b/c I was watching 'scrubs' the other day and they had this scene where the blond chicks were saying 'hey skank' to each other in greeting. And as you know, scrubs = real life.
