i think a some dndads listeners need to realize that if the crew listened to what the fans want the show would be a lot worse overall.

like, it happened with glenn before, and it’s happening with scary and taylor now, that people are pressuring the players into making these characters show more vulnerability or whatever, which would be completely out of character. you realize the reason they’re good characters is because they’re not emotionally honest in the slightest and are so guarded up it would take a lifetime to undo that, right? like, not every character has to speak like they’re in therapy, that’s a pitfall I see so many writers fall into, and I’ve fallen into that too.

I get loving the characters and wanting them to be happy and open and go to therapy (and in Glenn’s case I saw so many posts wanting him to ‘take responsibility’ and ‘seek forgiveness’ which is... yeah I get it, you’re a catholic but with a different name) but that’s not the kinda story this is, and probably won’t be until the end of the podcast. these are hurt, broken people and they’re gonna make a loot more mistakes until they get better. baby steps.

#dndads #also some of you really need to chill about your purity culture stuff #i get that some people find it uncomfortable to hear a story where teenagers talk about heavy or s3xual topics but thats how teenagers are #they talk about and do a lot of that kinda stuff and that's sometimes reflected on fiction #and fiction IS written and sometimes performed by adults #who know what it was like to be a teenager and draw on that to act out their characters #like... if you think it's immoral or anything i really don't know what to tell you. touch grass. go outside and meet real people #under that pretense 60% of authors would be cancelled i guess
