I think it was just odd word choices and sentence structure that made it sounds different and that just made some think it was written by AI. Similarly I've been accused of being pretentious or in one case "speaking like an anime villain" when I was just using the words I was taught in school. I didn't know they weren't in common use anymore hah

Forsooth! I love writing that way and reading similar. It makes social media read almost literary. I'm vexed that people would prefer to read comments that stray nary an inch beyond third grade vernacular.

However it can read a little pretentious, which is why I like to drop in a few fuck-your-mothers or whatnot in to provide a little grounding.

Own that shit and stand out, my brother! (In a non-gender-assuming sense of the word.)
