The ones that don't post with annoying, clickbait 'engagement driving' titles. The end.

I think the premise just makes people happy. The books that follow that premise get picked up faster and are more popularized. There has always been trash in young adult/teen fiction, and you have to dig for the good books.
As a recommendation, the novels aimed at kids by Brandon Sanderson are generally excellent. The superhero series even has a kid who, through use of training and his wits, takes on people with superpowers. The sci-fi novels have a touch more of 'special because of who I am,' but it's not a big thing, just a pain point for the protagonist.
I slept-watched through the last two movies. Was there any logical (in the world of the movie, that is) explanation behind the granddaughter thing, or just a forced shift that had nothing to do with previous plotlines?
Wings are probably clipped, so it can halfway power itself up to roof, but now can't really fly elsewhere. It probably could get down to the ground or to a nearby tree, but think of it in the same manner as a cat. Technically the cat could get down from the tree, but it would have to act in a manner inconsistent with its entire past life (climbing backwards so the claws get grip). So, technically the parrot could get down, but it hasn't ever been able to fly, so the action (flapping while on a downwards course) needed to get down just doesn't seem an option to it. I would bet it's the same feeling a person gets if they can climb/hike to a high point on a cliff, but then can't jump down from it to the water.
Cold feet? Where sock?
The thing that armies put more money than you'd ever imagine into is footwear. The U.S. spent ungodly amounts on testing various barefoot running stuff when the 'better than shoed' claims were getting popular.
There's LORE??!?
Wait, what's this about ballet classes? I know their feet usually are injured, but is there more than that?
It's been interesting. I haven't been able to get their videos to load from the thumbnail, but clicking the little + button that shows a post's textbox will show the video and play it
... that is, until today. Suddenly the thumbnail expanding option worked.
I think they are just extremely desperate to connect with someone who shares the fetish. Think about your average 'normal' porn video: you'll find the majority of the comments addressing the people on screen as if they'll ever actually see the comment, while ignoring the knowledge that even if the comment was read by the people on screen, they'd never actually meet or respond in anything but a manner driven by money-seeking. Those folks are so desperate they'll throw common sense out the window.
Now look at the really niche subjects, like your stuffed and snuffed stuff. The folks commenting are going to have a different set of assumptions, namely that there are so few individuals out there that share their interest that the chances of meeting IRL are effectively zero, even in the large population we have today. Those comments are their dating profile, so to speak.
Never have I wanted a comment to go up in flames so badly...
With the caveat that anybody 'good' who is doing evil is just under such horrible circumstances! (pearl clutching shrieking) They aren't bad, they just have horrible backstories. Poor snapeypoo was being bullied for half muggleness, and the girl he loved was so mean to him!
