Like a Local - part 2 by Manny “Verbose and condescending" is a falsehood. How would you have said what I said in a more concise way, that maintains its criticism of the work both in a vacuum and within the same artist’s body of work? Manny is usually quite consistent regarding characterization, but the nameless protagonist here has such a dramatic shift in demeanor over such a short period that it seemed to be worth analysis. If you think that 5 paragraphs of commentary on a multiple part and ongoing work is particularly over-expressive, then what exactly should I have said? And I would contest that I am condescending. I have not at all treated the work in a way that disregards its content. This specific chapter in this work sticks out among others as particularly related to a fantasy of domination, as opposed to one of submission like the previous, and the very nature of who the perspective character is shifts in a manner that this alteration of the story’s hierarchy necessitates in order to make this shift. He becomes a hypocrite, in that he purports to submit to Liam, even as he demands Liam act upon him. The dynamics at play are fascinating, and I do not think it is dismissive to examine this in depth and with a lens like the one I used when the work itself has the character liken himself to a media figure particularly relevant to the lens. by OAC on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny OAC its just a story geared for haircut enthusiasts/ by Deke Cutter on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny OAC. It's a haircut story. He made this one very accessible. No shaving of heads, no way angle. Leave it alone. by Anon on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny OAC Your attempts to avoid negativity are not succeeding! Now you are doubling down with your verbose and condescending review. Manny is one of the most talented and prolific contributors to this site. This is yet another creative and enthralling series. He may not win a Pullitzer prize, but he continues to win the admiration and gratitude of most of our readers. Focus your expertise into a story submission, and let's see how it is received. by ClipperAddict on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny You misunderstand me; I am not trying to be negative. I just think that the inconsistency in characterization creates a dissonance that makes what could very well be an endearing man in the first part into a man who is likely to have an ex-wife and a child he says he misses but still doesn’t like to spend time with. His shift to being completely domineering is not, as of yet, narratively justified, and I get the inkling that the framing of this story does not lend itself towards being a subversion of what it implies. Right now, the perspective is that of an asshole who is getting his way, and I do not see this as being healthy for the site that the most prolific and beloved writer here with consistently high quality is creating a character that is presumably meant to be related to by the reader act in a manner which is just so impulsive and self-centered. Other stories from the same pen have considered the perspective of the people being disrupted in the past, but as of yet, in this narrative, there is only one-and-a-half people who seems to have any intended relatability, the perspective character and Liam. Liam is also interesting in that he is so willing to be party to this manipulation, but he is not yet developed enough to get any accurate read on exactly where his character will go. by OAC on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny Imagine tending to the many managers who fall short by haircut discipline, and getting a local beautician to see to those among the female office stuff who spend the day worrying about their flashy clothes and playing with their hair. Mandatory pixie cuts and office uniforms with pantsuits or below-the-knee skirts to keep them focused on their job. This is a Manny Masterpiece. And I see a lot of people here (save one) agree. by Hootney on 15 Aug 2025
Like a Local - part 2 by Manny Overly Analytical Commenter you certainly picked the right name. Given your obviously superior writing why not put your energy into a story rather than wasting your talent on a condescending critique. by ClipperAddict on 15 Aug 2025
