I think it would be fine to make an actual post for nilauto tbh! So long as you have credit on it
when things get recognition, you lose control over what happens. even if i included direct credit to the term it’s based on, after so many reposts, possible posts on wikis and other sites, through the game of telephone it could lose that credit extremely fast. i’ve seen it happen to other people, so i feel like it’d be in very poor taste to do when the term is so derivative of something else. yes, the term is really useful for me. yes, it might be useful for others- that’s why i bother posting about it at all (besides just having a place to talk about it.) but i would implode in on myself if it ended up getting too much traction and all those fears i mentioned came true. i would feel horrible forever and then melt and simmer like an egg on a hotplate. so i keep it all untagged and on the down-low so it stays small, and never even remotely comes close to “well-known.” since. you know. it’s mostly just for me, anyways.
it’s possible i’m being waaaaaay too paranoid about it. and that it’s totally fine to do with credit. i do have very, very bad paranoia and moral ocd. but i’d rather be safe (and respectful) than sorry down the line.
