What happened to Yorch?
He was one of the most consistent voices against censorship, and now he is part of a cancel campaign against Evie from Stellar Blade: Blood Rain.
I get he doesn't like Evie's design.
I get he prefers huge boobs and thicc thighs.
I get he dislikes petite, cute designs...
But this is just sad, man.
He is just playing into the same leftist mentality of trying to bully companies into bending to their own preferences.
He is going so far as to call Evie's design a childlike thing... a very strange thing to say, considering how the character looks.
Youthfulness has been so demonized in the epidemically obese West that it has cooked so many people's brains into thinking that the only acceptable female form is massive boobs and thighs. If people prefer skinny women on the petite side, they get called pedos.
This is just classic brainrot, and says a lot about a person who immediately thinks "child" when they see someone with youthful characteristics.
You don’t hate censorship.
You just hate Evie.
You’ve been spamming your hatred for this character since she was announced, yet you still claim to be “against reporting games to payment processors.” The second it involves a design you personally dislike, suddenly Shift Up “opened the can of worms” and deserves it.
That’s not principle. That’s selective outrage.
Evie is a petite, athletic woman. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. I stand with Shift Up, they stood by their vision and the CEO celebrated it. Good.
I’ll keep standing with creators and artists who refuse to bend to this bullshit, whether it’s ResetEra, payment processors, or people like you who only care about “artistic freedom” when it fits your taste.
You can spam all you want. Your low views tell the real story.
I may get hushed by the algorithm sometimes… but I will never be silenced by people trying to censor creators just because they don’t like a fictional character.
In a word" "Wow."
Stargate fans continue to amaze. It's been two weeks since the show's cancellation was announced and they’re still as energized and active as ever, lighting up social media with their love for the franchise.
And I keep being asked: Will it make a difference? My answer is "Yes" and "Don't know"...
It reminds me of when Dark Matter was cancelled back in 2017 and the fan backlash was so intense that Syfy reportedly called an emergency meeting to discuss damage control. They considered making a public statement to quell the fan furor but, ultimately, elected to remain silent. And, eventually, the storm subsided.
Eventually.
But this time…this feels different. The Dark Matter fandom was small but organized and very angry. The Stargate fandom, on the other hand, is remarkably large, incredibly well organized, and - if the last two weeks are any indication - possibly even angrier.
I'm on the outside on this so I can't tell you what The Powers That Be are thinking but based on pure conjecture...
Have they noticed the fan response? Oh, safe to assume they have definitely noticed.
Have they been surprised by the scale and ferocity of the fan response? I'm going to assume yes. The fan pushback has been worldwide and intense.
Are they thinking "If we could harness this type of fan engagement to help launch a new show, it would be a huge asset!"? Again, given the sustained enthusiasm and global reach - I'm sure it has crossed their minds.
Are they thinking "Fandom passion can be a double-edged sword. I wonder if there have been examples of other genre shows whose performances have suffered due to intense fan response?" This one's a little trickier. The data scrapers and algorithms monitor vocal/negative sentiment, but how much weight executive leadership places on analogous data is always up for debate.
But will it all make a difference in the end? So far, yes, it has already made a difference, for many of the reasons outlined above.
So will it make a difference for the future of Stargate? I honestly don't know. From a marketing standpoint, this is a public relations coup waiting to happen. Acknowledge that the fans made a difference - and recognize that the excitement they've shown over the past two weeks won't stop at a relaunch. It will carry every episode. They've proven this series is theirs, and they won't let it fail. They will be the core of the new Stargate, a core that will only grow as they introduce the series to friends, family, and complete strangers, just as they have always done.
But that's just me. In the end, I'm just the guy who helps create the world, the words, the characters on the page. I'm the one who helps bring them to life with an amazing cast and crew so that you can visit with them and make them a part of your lives. I'm not the guy making the decisions.
One thing seems certain: the execs have taken notice. Now we'll see what they do with that knowledge.
I posted about this before, but this scene (which appears in both the movie and the book) encapsulates why the screen adaptation of John Carter was so fundamentally different from how he’s portrayed in the book.
Movie John Carter is a broken soldier haunted by the family he couldn’t save. He fights from a place of hopeless sorrow, uncaring that he’s throwing his life away because in his heart he’s already dead. He takes no joy in battle, he simply wants to die.
Book John Carter is a proud Virginian captain, a veteran of the Civil War who is unburdened by guilt and shame. He throws himself against impossible odds out of a sense of duty to protect Dejah Thoris, and because he revels in combat, a hard fight against a worthy adversary capable of testing his martial prowess.
This is significant because modern Hollywood (and more broadly the culture in general) seems only capable of producing the former, not almost never the latter.
I wonder why that is?
Stargate was amazing series and was able to go toe to toe with other Franchise Giants - Star Trek and Star Wars.
Today both Star Trek and Star Wars tried to appeal to new audience by forsaking hardcore fans of the series. The shows and movies fail to make money because they turned away from its fanbase, alienated people that followed the series for years.
Stargate Show Runners said No, we won't abandon our fans, we will stay faithful to original shows. This is the way to go, don't chase "modern audience" that don't exist, focus on who the show is really for - Nerds.
In 2026 being Nerd is trendy, you don't need change formula that worked in past and was appealing to us, let @BaronDestructo and his gang cook - and you can have series that will put modern Star Wars and Star Trek to shame. @AmazonMGMStudio@amazon@PrimeVideo@JeffBezos
