Girl I don’t know, but the executives are not functioning today.

the fact that Stardew Valley is a $15 indie game that came out almost a decade ago with zero microtransactions and is still receiving free DLC updates to this day is absolutely bonkers. There are $50-60 AAA games with paid DLC that have come out more recently and aren’t nearly as actively supported or updated.

The Apology

More thoughts now that the apology is out.

The response time is being praised by some fans. I say it was shit. You do not release this big of announcement and then log off for the weekend. Not after hyping it up, not after doing the countdown, and definitely not before a live show. They are a business and as others have pointed out, not responding to Variety and not putting out a simple "We will have a response soon, thank you for your feedback and patience," was highly unprofessional. Others have made better posts outlining how PR is supposed to work and I expect companies with more than ten people to have a PR expert on payroll(one who has actually been in the field and has a relevant degree) and if not that's a problem when social media is pivotal to your brand.

They should have stayed off personal social media. This includes family and friends. I have seen a lot of screenshots and some accusations of things said by them(and their loved ones) and all of it was tone deaf. Yes people should not be harassing anyone. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to only respond to the out of line comments. It makes people think that criticisms are being conflated with the people who are out of line. Again this isn't a moral thing, it's a PR thing. If you aren't making a public statement as a company, don't make snide comments online.

Unaddressed things. Two things in specific bug me about the apology. The fact that they didn't address that they took in community stories right before this clearly shows they were expecting backlash. They only care now because it's majority of the audience giving said backlash. The other thing that went unaddressed is that they clearly need business help and they haven't said clearly that they are looking to reorganize how they use staff, and their different revenue streams. In the post items 4 and 5 still apply. They have not show that they've put thought into cost reducing measures or improving the user experience on their YouTube page. When/if the streaming site fails to help fix financial problems there's a good chance they'll make another bad decision. Overall it was fine. It didn't convince me to resubscribe. It took too long for it to come out, and honestly I don't think they addressed the underlying issues that caused this bad decision. It should have never made it to the public. It should have been shot down sooner. We shall see what happens.

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

Other favourite thing is sometimes they come cuddle with you

My favourite thing about having cats is sometimes you look up and there’s just a little guy loafing somewhere unexpected.
