Is there anything gayer than writing "standards"?

> No, you should write like this because I'm too dumb to understand this formatting
> No, you should not write like that because it's too confusing!!
> No, you can't write about that because it's too specific, people will never find your book!!!
> Noo, you cannot you write something if you never read 1000 commercially successful books in the same genre!!
> Noooooooooooooooo you must write everything in one single language!!
> Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you can't change your POV multiple times per chapter
> Noooooooo you can't have 20 different protagonists in the same book because it's too hard alright?
> NOO YOU CAN ONLY WRITE IN BLACK COLOR, YOU CAN NOT USE DIFFERENT COLORS BECAUSE ITS PRICEY!!

It's not that you can't, it's just that it will suck and nobody will want to read it (unless you are actually a genius writer, which you aren't)

Many such cases, sadly.

The best part is when said standard changes between similar languages
>>
>>25563883
Jokes aside, this is just an extension on the language itself. It may not be perfect, but we agree on these conventions for the sake of ease of communication. Of course they are subject to change over time (call it entropy of whatever you will).
The rest of your points are the result of you creating strawmen, and the last one is you sandbagging yourself from criticism by pretending the whole thing was merely a shitpost due to how retarded it is (though I myself have been tempted in the past to make text red to spoof on the "WORDS OF CHRIST IN RED" that many bibles advertise on their spines, until realising it wasn't worth it for several reasons). Also you spelt colour wrong.
The multiple languages thing is also retarded, but its rebuttal rests close enough to my leading point so I won't add anything else towards it

Faulkner wanted to write TSATF in different colours.

I will write a book with 16581375 characters and each one of their lines will have a different RGB colOr and there is nothing you can do about it
>>
>>25563883
This is one of the main reasons why I am fascinated by Amos Tutuola's works. His sentences are grammatically incorrect---sometimes even nonsensical---yet they somehow add up to make a great whole.

>nooooo you should not write in Old English
>noooo you should not use runes
>nooo you should not reverse the vowel shi(f)t
>noooo you should not write "Ich" instead lf "I"
>nooo you should not use "thou" instead of "you"

>>25563883
> Nooooo to be considered a book you must write it down, oral tradition does not count!!!
>>
>>25563883
why are you writing from left to right? Are you little gay faggot or something?
>>
>>25563883
Yeah, standards for which women you have sex with are gayer.
>>
adhering to rigid writing standards is a great way of announcing to everyone that you're a shit writer
Congrats OP
