Every time I see a post about updog I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help the poster complete their joke.
okay but what’s updog ?
Updog is a long sausage in a bun often served with ketchup, mustard, onion e, and/or relish.
No, that’s a hotdog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released
You’re thinking of update. Updog is when you end a sentence with a rising intonation.
No, that’s uptalk. You’re thinking of the fourth-largest city in Sweden.
surely that’s Uppsala, whereas Updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.
That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs
You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.
no that’s an updraft
updog isn’t a noun at all, it’s a verb; it basically means to chew someone out, or harshly lecture them
No, that’s upbraid. An updog is a small dog that likes cuddling on people’s laps.
No that’s a puppydog. An updog is when the Mets win.
No that’s an upset. An updog is the modern version of a henway.
What’s a henway?
Oh, about 5 pounds.
this post pushed me down the stairs and stole my firstborn child

Context: My players were in a Kobold occupied cavern, and while navigating a maze of tunnels, happened upon a trapped room with a couple of very large spiders
Paladin: “I go to attack the nearest spider with my sword” Rolls a nat 1
DM: You trip on a loose rock and the spider grabs your sword with its mandibles, roll a strength contest
Paladin: Loses the contest
DM: The spider yoinks your sword away and sends it across the floor
*Paladins turn comes again*
Paladin: “Since it’s distracted I want to pick up my sword and attack it again” Rolls another nat 1
DM: You trip over the same rock somehow, and your hand brushes the spiders head, giving him a little pet. The spider looks at you suddenly intrigued as you fall onto your face
This ended up making our rogue roll animal handling on the one remaining spider after we beat the first one, and since they’re technically domesticated spiders, resulted in it becoming tamed and attached to her, and as a halfling, a suitable size to use it as a mount as the Kobolds use them sometimes. She’s now a proud Spider Rider

I Really Really wish that this sudden flood of hostlity towards fandom content creators would go away. It's exhausting, it has me not wanting to write anything, and it's not going to help anyone in the long run. :/
I hope so too, but if it helps at all, I can get really, really bad anxiety about the idea of things I’ve written hurting someone else, and seeing you standing firm against anybody being responsible for anybody else’s media consumption has helped so much.
Oh, god, that worry is the fucking WORST. I have it too. I am reminding myself as much as anyone else when I post about it.
They aren’t expecting to convince anyone that they’re right. They’re hoping to make people feel confused and ashamed and frustrated and tired, and that those will cause people to give up writing the kind of fic they yell about.
Also keep in mind that they don’t actually care about the content of the fics. They’re not lobbying to have Game of Thrones banned for having incest, nor to remove Star Trek: Voyager removed from Netflix (because Kes is “underage”), nor to have Lolita removed from bookstores and libraries. This isn’t about keeping kids safe from bad content; it’s about policing the kind of community they want to control.
The solution to the problem of “people might get hurt reading my fic” is “tag for everything.” It is NOT YOUR FAULT if you have created a fire, and told people it’s a fire, and put up warning signs saying “Fire is hot”... and then someone sticks their hand in the fire anyway.
We don’t have to live in the dark and cold because some people refuse to figure out how to act around a fire.
