Week 12 • October, 4, 2026
There are things I have to learn the hard way when it comes to creating content for social media—especially how sensitive the algorithm can be to certain words.
My novel used to be called Good Girl Cry, Bad Girl Moan.
When paired with a woman in a sexy red dress, I faced resistance from the system.
How did I know?
A short that would usually get around 2,000 views suddenly dropped to 2 views.
I changed my novel to Good Girls Cry, Bad Girls Mourn.
And recently, I developed one scene called Rebellion List.
It’s a scene where Lalita undo her Good Girl syndrome.
Gosh.
I could not generate the AI video, and I was like, What’s wrong?
My guess is this word, Rebellion.
I felt really unfairly treated.
Because I created a story about a woman breaking out of the Good Girl persona—and now I’m watching myself negotiate with a system that keeps asking me to make the work more acceptable.
And somehow, it feels like I keep being asked to make myself smaller, softer, safer, more “good.”
I saw so much provocative porn and violence on social media, and my content is far from that.

I may be messy.
I may be bold.
I may say something
you don’t want to hold.
But if I have to soften every word until nobody feels anything
What is left to say?
I know there are reasons for these systems. But seriously… look at what else is out there. And you’re worried about my woman in a red dress?
Even though I know it’s not personal, it’s hard not to feel sorry for myself. I understand why the system is designed that way, to protect the innocent.
And damn, there are a lot of skilled creators who put their energy into creating those things.
I know it’s not about me.
So I keep moving my ass.
Anyway, I have to edit the script.
So I’ll let you guys hear the original—the one that won’t be able to be released elsewhere.
Now I have to come up with something else.
Maybe Good Girl Therapy.
I hope that doesn’t trigger the system into thinking I’m talking about mental health.
Gosh…
See how society tries to shape us all into the Good Girl persona by controlling everything?
Give me a break.
Love you
Lalita Janette
