OC is collective for ''owned character'' ''original content'' or ''original character'' usually describing a character or creation that is either franchised, branded, or owned by a lone person or company.
Whilst a Persona is a character the author identifies with, not necessarily as self-insert, which is the author drawn in an art style or as a character.
an OC Persona is a character that does not look like the author, but primarily the author's ''personal'' view on how they'd want to be like in a completely fictional world. it is more in-depth and the character has backstory unrelated to the author's real life. An OC persona also does not share the real name of the Author.

''Name'' is neither an OC or Persona, they do not have my actual name, but I use them as ''me'' instead of my face.
''Name'' is an OC Persona, they're a bit more personal with the story tropes that I like, so I identify with this character quite a lot when writing.
My OC is also kind of my persona, though more of a character, since I don't look like them.

Reading Allergy is a common phenomenon. This is not associated with Dyslexia.
Someone has Reading Allergy when they refuse to read, lacks the energy to, pulls fast conclusions, reads little & bases their opinion on lack of research, or refuses to read a post that says ''please read the entirely before commenting.'' Sometimes they even make things up that completely deviate from the writing, and ignore the OP's specifications.
Examples;
1.
''Wasn't this person involved in some kind of controversy?''
Comment thread; ''Oh no! That was resolved. provides info''
Reading Allergic: ''Oh my god. They are such a curse word person! I didn't know.''
''Did you read the discussion just now?''
2.
''Hi! I'm looking for commissions in this kind of specific art style, my maximum budget is low budget. Please do not send me direct messages! I'll block you if you don't read my post.''
The Reading Allergic person; ''Hi this is my art example, very different art style than requested prices start from above OP's budget I send you a direct message.''
3.
''My sister's kids are great, I don't mind spending time with them.''
Single parent: Hey, would you mind picking up my kids at 10pm?
''What for?''
Single parent: What? To babysit them of course.

''My mom has reading allergy, he somehow thinks that all things I write are about him.''
''Do all these people commenting on my posts have reading allergy? Why else would they pull such diverted conclusions?''
''So I was looking for commissions, and once again about ten people with reading allergy commented, completely ignoring my specific questions.''
''I'm starting to think some people naturally can't read or take stuff in proper context, it's like they have a reading allergy for common sense.''
''My teacher seems to forget certain notes I made about my problem. Do you think she's allergic to reading?''

Derived from the term ''Gender-Locking'' known in some videogames, where in full character customization is blocked behind a gender-lock. A simplified primary example is locking classes or races behind a gender for lore reasons.
Straight-Locking can be found in videogames where your character customization is suddenly limited when in the game itself you cannot express your character's sexuality or romantic preferences in dialogue or settings.
Straight-locking only truly visibly occurs when a game with character-customization forces the player to partake in heterosexual romance which is either not optional, or the only romantic options given.
A videogame with a pre-written character that has already established lore about their gender identity and sexuality with romantic options isn't ''straight-locking'' as it is not offering character customization, only a pre-written narrative and character design. (Examples; Geralt of Rivia, Kratos, etc.)

''I downloaded this quest mod in Skyrim which also adds a few npcs that flirt with the player character, however I feel uncomfortable at the straight-locking dialogue, as I cannot make my character tell the female npcs that he's gay, to make them stop flirting.''
''I was really excited for this videogame, but feel a bit disappointed that my only romance options are straight-locked, Either I flirt with a girl, or my character is asexual.''
''Tomodachi is great! But it got straight-locking in it, the only romances that can happen are male x female.''
