What is the PR disaster in question that made Rick announce TSATS? I wasn’t active in the online fandom at that point
Of course! This was awhile ago so it figures people don't remember it/aren't familiar:
Basically a couple years back (2020) the fandom had some posts circulate discussing the ways different characters in the Riordanverse were written poorly or offensively. There was a masterpost that went around tumblr but the two major points people were particularly focusing on were Piper and Samirah (particularly because Piper had featured prominently again in Trials of Apollo recently and the third MCGA book had further emphasized and discussed Samirah being Muslim, since it was supposed to take place during Ramadan). Basically each had multiple posts breaking down the ways they were depicted incorrectly or offensively. The entire fandom for a little bit was VERY intensely discussing this (and it's around this time the "RR crit" tag got very popularized on tumblr - it did exist before, but suddenly was being used VERY frequently - cause it was that wide-spread - though the discussion took over basically every side of Riordaverse social media on different platforms). People really wanted Rick to respond to these criticisms, so he did!
He made two blog posts, one about Piper and one about Samirah. He has since deleted both so the links are to archived versions. The short version: he essentially tried to justify his poor research and double-down that he hadn't written them offensively, actually, people were just being mean to him. The fandom, of course, reacted poorly to this.
[Further elaborated events under the cut since this got a bit lengthy]
(Fun fact, this all happened within a month or so of the time i posted an open letter on aphobic tropes in the Riordanverse that Rick replied to, and then he immediately followed with announcing that Reyna was intended to be ace-coded [which cause a LOT of fandom debate] before Rick dipped for a couple of weeks, and then came back to post the blog posts in response to Piper and Sam stuff. So I like to jokingly refer to this as "The time I imploded the fandom/drove Rick off of twitter." Twas I that set the house ablaze.)
Rick fully left social media after this and the LT Musical social media manager became Rick's social media manager for the time being.
So this all happened June/July of 2020. Tower of Nero would end up being published in October of 2020 and a few months after that Rick would state that he was done with the series and wouldn't be writing any more series installments involving Percy, and also that he wouldn't be writing a Nico quest following Tower of Nero as it "wasn't his place to" and encouraged the community to write their own versions of Nico's story.
The community continued to circulate the tumblr posts and discuss the topics of Rick's offensive character depictions, and this is also where we see the dramatic shift in how the fandom depicts Piper in fanwork (though in most cases it is admittedly not an improvement 😬) because of all this discussion. This is also around the time when the fandom brought Viria under scrutiny claiming that she was whitewashing Piper as part of the same discussions, through the justification that she was drawing Annabeth as having tan skin (which she does canonically), and if Annabeth has tanner skin then Piper then that's whitewashing Piper? Except they were using completely separate images of not fully rendered Piper art versus Annabeth in dramatic lighting, so it's all very awkward and poor logic, and did actually get kind of racist. A lot of people were calling it "Tannabeth Blackchase" (yeah, i know) or similar and a common sentiment you'd see repeated is "Don't draw Annabeth as having darker skin than Piper, because that's offensive/racist/whitewashing." (Note: it was not phrased "don't draw Piper as having lighter skin than Annabeth" - we also won't get into certain offensive depictions of Native Americans, but I digress). But yeah, the Annabeth stuff in all that did not age well at all.
Anyways, in October of 2021 however Rick would announce that he was co-writing The Sun And The Star - with a lot of heavy emphasis on how Mark Oshiro works as a sensitivity reader, and some false advertising from the official social media that Mark Oshiro was the first time a non-Riordan author would be collaborating on the series (disregarding the ghostwriters completely). One of the big criticisms in the breaking down of issues in Rick's writing was his lack of ever seeking a sensitivity reader, and fans claiming that a sensitivity reader could solve a lot of the problems. This was basically Rick's "look! I totally listened!!!!" (though it did little to actually improve things, based on the book) and in TSATS as well Piper gets a large cameo at the end where the text very directly addresses a lot of points made in criticism of Rick's writing of her.
We also then of course got the CoTG trilogy later, explicitly stated to be for advertising purposes for the show.
So basically, short version: Rick came under scrutiny for a lot of offensive writing within the span of two months, made some bad blog posts doubling down about it, left social media. TOA ends. Rick says he wasn't going to continue the series/write what would become TSATS. Community celebrates the end of of the franchise but also continues to discuss Rick's poor writing and the blog posts at length. Rick suddenly announces TSATS and Mark Oshiro's involvement. Everybody gets distracted from being mad. Show announcement stuff also happens and the discussions peter out.
#pjo#riordanverse#fandom history#rick riordan#rr crit#ask#boywithskull#anonymous#long post //#fun times fun times#im always amused by the bit where i come in. like oh yeah i played a major part in the middle of all of this#i didnt mean to but i was the beginning of the end#maybe thats why this book is my personal hell. its in direct retribution#its really weird though because Rick did not usually reply to people on twitter but he responded to my open letter WITHIN HALF AN HOUR#within half an hour of me posting it he replied and then rapid-fire replied to like two or three other random tweet questions#at which point he confirmed he wrote Reyna with her being alloromantic ace-coded in mind (''but you dont have to agree'')#(i should note also - rick's reply plus the ensuing tweets HEAVILY implies he did NOT actually read my open letter. lmao.)#dipped off twitter for a couple of weeks. came back to post his blog posts responding to criticism about Piper and Sam#and then left social media completely. people kept talking. oh look new book pspspsp. look show pspspsp.#but so. yknow. i did that. it was ME!!!!!! and i will never let him forget. i know what he did.#i will never let him live down shitty PR move to try and sweep those bad blog posts under the rug

are you FUCKING kidding me. this is the wapeach that got instantly shot down by Miyamoto and banished to the Nintendo vault for practically 20 years????? this is literally the most inoffensive take they could have done on an "evil peach twin" and it was still too much for the old man.
i don't even know what to say at this point lmao. this in a nutshell i think perfectly shows why no matter how much cool shit nintendo does they'll always be held back
#vi posts#some tweet says the real reason for her rejection is bc she's too similar to the character shes inspired by (Doronjo from Yatterman)#but i call bullshit on that they only look vaguely similar. i've seen team rocket homages that take bigger lawsuit risks than this#and like. i really don't mean to slander Miyamoto but let's be real here#it's really not that hard to believe a video game producer in from the 80s who'd only ever made princesses before#simply didn't want an antagonistic female character in his game

Rough TL. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH ANNOUNCEMENT TOO JUST TO BE SURE!!!!
- Nyanko Wars (Guild VS Guild event) next week. Only top 16 guilds of each server can participate in this event. (TL notes: They've received quite the backlash for this limitations so it might change again in the future)
- Dev is trying to provide a story every month.
- After Episode 7, there will be some episode related to the season (in the story?). After that, it'll be the finale of Season 1.
- Season 2 is planned to come after.
- Regarding spin-off / side story events: the devs currently don't have the resources to produce and supervise them as, without compromising the quality, they can only release one episode / story per month.
- This might change in the future as the team grows but for now, they're asking for your understanding of their limited abilities.
#tokyo debunker#tkdb info#turning off reblog to prevent spreading misinformation in case i understand the tweets wrong#sorry about that!! 🙇♀️#i have a bit trouble understanding what 季節性のあるストーリー means so if anyone can help i'll be really thankful;;;

Soph I love you but Taylor Swift does not “make herself the victim” there’s so much valid shit that has happened to her for us to feel that way about her, which most of her fans honestly don’t even see her as - granted there as some obnoxious ones but that goes for all fandoms.
Like for example of the experiences I was talking about.
- being sexually assaulted and then being called “greedy” for suing the guy.
- being painted as a “snake” because she didn’t react well to someone writing a misogynistic song about it. Which I feel like is a valid reaction as a woman in entertainment.
- being groomed at 19 by a 30+ something year old.
- getting called a snake worldwide for a narrative that 2 people - who were more famous than her at the time invented.
- being bodyshamed constantly when she had an eating disorder
Yes she’s privileged and has always been, coming from money and having fame, but she does not portray herself as the “victim” and the fact that people think she does just for standing up for herself makes me sad, not because of her but because being a woman myself it just paints the picture that women’s pain or experiences will always be brushed under the rug because we’re classified as “dramatic” and “we should take it with more grace” “be thankful about the good things” like??
I understand that you don’t like her but that assessment just seems wrong.
like i just. you realize you're proving my point right? like this - not just this message, but all of the ones i've gotten where people are waxing poetic about all of the struggles taylor swift has had and how she is absolutely a victim and how dare i suggest otherwise - is exactly what i'm talking about. you feel the need to jump down the throat of anyone who says anything remotely negative about her. this is the whole "victim" narrative, that she is vulnerable and must be protected and defended from all negativity at all times at all costs.
and like. that is on purpose. she has cultivated that narrative for this reason. so that publications are now afraid to post reviews of her albums with bylines because their journalists are getting death threats if they criticize her.
i am not suggesting that taylor swift has never had anything bad ever happen to her. that would be insane. i am trying to say that this culture that has been cultivated within her fanbase of defending and protecting her, is extreme and irrational. and when you don't buy into it, it makes a lot of the content surrounding taylor swift very hard to swallow.
#this is pointless#i know that#you can be devoted to her if you want to be i really don't care#but i will once again point out that i made a very mild negative statement about her#and i now have an inbox full of messages like this#and can you perhaps see how that is#an overreaction to me making a post on my blog#not tweeting at taylor swift#not yelling at her on the street#not starting a campaign against her#surely if yall can make posts about how much you love her i can do the opposite#and again#this is pointless there are so many more important things to discuss and fight about#i swear to god i did not mean to post that post because i knew it would inevitably lead here#but i made the choice to leave it up so this is my penance#soph rambles

wait what's up w tara if i may be nosy
#yeaaaah there's quite the handful of bad things about her#the most recent and relevant answer is that around... let's just say the beginning of a certain tragedy that's going in the world right now#she said some rather islamophobic shit#there's also those really fuckin weird tweets from a decade ago#which i mean they were from 10 years ago so i cant really hold them against her too much for it (twitter was wayyyy different back then)#but some of the tweets made were... strange#of course there's the infamous ben 10 incest tweet#but she also had a habit about tweeting about nudity for some weird reason#and one of those tweets was of bubbles with her cheeks out. like straight up 5 year old bubbles#she's also just an annoying person tbh#like somethin about how she had some moral high ground about being vegetarian or somethin#she's a talented actress for sure but man is she not a good person#asks

also ok i know i was poking fun at some of the responses from izzy fans to the vanity fair article but some izzy haters on twitter were also being so fucking annoying about the con quotes. getting mad about some nonspoiler quotes they got from the guy during his downtime like my besties in fandom we literally do not even have a trailer all we have are eight entire pictures and an article written by someone who spent one (1) entire day on the set. y’all do not need to get this worked up that con o’neill answered questions about his own character and was quoted by a pop culture magazine. calm tf down.
#ofmd#our flag means death#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#izzy hands#dizzy izzy#con o'neill#s2 hiatus hell txt#txt#og#mine#the izcourse#<- idk i guess??#wasn’t really discourse it was just people tweeting in their own general circles#it was all either “HUGE IZZY FOCUS S2 🥳🥳🥳” or “HUGE IZZY FOCUS S2 🤬🤬🤬”#when to me personally the signs do not point in that direction but i could be wrong!#anyway my takeaway from being on twitter for 5 minutes on the day that article dropped is that everyone in the fandom#is getting WAY ahead of themselves
