is our interlude everlasting

not to rehash s1 criticism again but to this day the only direct explanation i’ve heard for why they defanged gabe was that podcast interview where jon steinberg said they were “investing in sally and liking her” so they wanted her not to be treated badly. i’m sure there are reasons they are intentionally avoiding talking about but taken at face value that’s just straightforwardly saying abuse should only happen to characters who deserve it lol

i maintain that “[thing] is too dark for kids”/cozywholesome witch-in-the-alps mentality/book bans are all cousins. and the effect is not just what stories get pulled off of shelves (and screens) but also the impact on what stories get made and how. most of the time we’ll never know the extent of what that impact is, so the difference in how the lightning thief was told in 2005 vs 2024 is kind of an unusual data point. i’m sure the team wouldn’t have considered themselves to be self-censoring, but they created this while swimming in the same water as us these last several years.

also rap music is hard as fuck. i feel like that should be mentioned.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
