for april fools we’re deleting this entire site sayonara you weeaboo shits
Happy birthday Teto, you're my favorite joke.
As of today, Adrienne and I both talked privately and worked things out peacefully etc. a different statement was made and the issue is resolved. Do not harass anyone regarding this, thank you. To those that were kind and supportive, and didn’t take this opportunity to harass others, you have my gratitude.
hello 🙋♀️
Yes I had to start this post with no caps and an emoji so you know it's really me speaking and not "professional and yet completely out of their depth" Adrienne. Some stuff happened last week. Things were asked. I was away from social media. I am back. Let's talk about it.
The merch is colored lighter than it should. Why did that happen, and did you fix it?
For the why, it’s Printing Stuff. (See my original statement after I spoke with the Yetee for more details!) Because the lighter coloring appeared on the entire items, not just skin, we didn’t dig deeper into it, and that's on us. The Yetee and I are working on fixing it, and the changes will appear on the next round of restocks! But you know this.
Why did you block Ocean, who only made a post bringing up the issue?
Ok so my original answer just ended up being “mental health”. Which was and still is true.
Over the last few months, Ocean (who asked to be named in this post) made some points on his Tumblr that I found hurtful, so I acted quickly and rashly in the moment. I regret the timing, and how this action deleted their post. (which, I didn't know it was gonna happen??? like legit. Tumblr this is a great feature for a lot of people im sure but you gotta tell me this shit) I honestly didn’t intend for the blocking to be public. I do want to stress this however: Ocean was never personally aggressive towards me. The block was purely from my own feelings on the issue, that are mine to deal with. I also want to say that any harassment Ocean has gotten was absolutely unwarranted and vile-- Do not do this. Not in my name. I've unblocked Ocean, and I will privately reach out to xem if xe agrees to it, to talk about how I regret everything that happened.
Saying “mental health reasons” probably sounded a little reductive and easy-to-throw, but, I do want to remind you: I am only one person. I am slowly surrounding myself with a team (working part-time!) who can help me with things, but I remain the one person who is taking care of communicating with merch, talking with fans, managing a team, and also, making a game.
Someone else mentioned the issue to me a little before the posts went live: I again mentioned it was because of printing etc, but as the first posts started rolling, I did make a note to handle that at some point. And then, the massacre
I am always so happy to see people relate to the game. A lot of different people relate to it in a lot of different ways, and I love hearing about those, especially if it’s ways I never thought someone would see themselves in! But that doesn’t mean the game wasn’t, like, thought about. That I didn’t bring my own experiences into it. So when I see people say “why is the game about those themes, it should have been about this instead”, I’d like you to remember that I’m mixed. I’m light skinned. I’m from the French Carribean. I'm also a lot of other things that quite honestly, as an audience, you do not necessarily get to know. You can’t remove those facts from the game. They’re there forever
What about the socials for Truth Scrapper, and how the Marketing Intern treats Amour and Betz differently? It's iffy.
Yeah it is. I did realize how Iffy this could seem a couple months ago, and was on the way to slowly fix it, via the intern going "well amour IS kinda cute..." in an organic way, until that part of it was gone completely. But well, this whole thing happened, so we'll just stop that ASAP instead!
Why didn’t you make this post before?
People are not lying: being canceled DOES make you go fight or flight. In an effort to not make this blow up, and to make sure people knew I was taking this seriously, my posts were probably more professional sounding than I usually am, which read as insincere I think.
Bottom line, I’m sorry. Overall, I did not handle this entire situation as well as I could have. After my posts I needed some time away and some support so I could get my thoughts in order and truly understand where I fucked up, and how to actually communicate all of this. Thank you for your patience as I got my words together, and I hope this gives you some insight as to what I was thinking/feeling.
If you are more willing to be mad at and lash out at marginalized people who were hurt and not the one doing said hurting, because they made your insert favorite (movie/book/tv show/game/ podcast/music/etc) you are part of the problem and you should do better.
If you repeatedly allow people within your majority white fanbase to shut down any and all conversation regarding fans of color not wanting things to allow bigotry like racism to be in fandom spaces and enabling the people eager to rush to dismissing it as simply “internet drama”, you are hurting people of color. Full stop. Going silent, blocking, deleting comments asking for context as to what’s happening, shifting conversation and downplaying concerns by your fanbase who were willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, does not look great for you. Please do better.
And for those who are like “well there’s no proof that you were treated differently compared to others” here we go exhibit A: When a fan politely points out that the yetee poster had backwards hands, Adrienne responded immediately, directly and positively. She then makes an updated post saying the poster was fixed . No one was blocked.
As well as exhibit b: where a different fan made a post politely saying that there was missing pages in the artbook, compared to the digital artbook.
Adrienne once again responded immediately, without even needing to be @, thanked the person and explained directly to the fan saying she’d contact serenityforge to fix the issue at hand. An announcement was made and everyone who had missing pages got it mailed and there was complimentary merch. No one was blocked.
Vs
Compared to that same post advertising the poster made on tumblr when myself and others in the comments, the tags and RBs mentions the mirabelle keychain being sold alongside the poster had coloration issues it was ignored for a month straight. No response.
There was only an actual response when I made my post in March @ing her directly in a separate post (after waiting and assuming in good faith that maybe people’s concerns got lost in the notifs, since tumblr is notoriously glitchy especially because of this new update.)
To those wondering why I didn’t ask this privately, I had actually initially done so before regarding the mirror standee way back in 2024 while I was still in the isat discord as a moderator in the staff chat. I was told that it was just the lighting of the display photo and it would look more accurate in person/ that Adrienne would let yetee know directly if things were amiss. I trusted this and it still came out pale, and when my friends who received said pale merch contacted yetee via email it wasn’t really any real response back to help reconcile it. I let it slide thinking that maybe things would improve over time, that this is a smaller game dev and maybe their contract with yetee couldn’t allow changes to be made after it was created. I still gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and saw how kind and understanding Adrienne was to other fans informing her of printing errors that I thought it would be fine to inform her and everyone else as well.
I was unable to ask about this recent merch drop privately, because tumblr asks were not available and neither were DMs.
Adrienne makes a statement , some people in the notes were confused by the wording and started to make jokes, I clarify and explain that it was regarded to the misprint causing mirabelle skin to become lighter and it’s then and only then am I blocked, and my polite response clarifying the situation was removed entirely from people to see.
Many people have tried to ask why this was done or if it was an accident and asking for an answer and everyone who was concerned have as of now been ignored entirely. It’s bad optics.
Had Adrienne not blocked me on tumblr, bluesky, Instagram and everywhere else, I would’ve just taken her response as sincere when she said that she wanted to fix things. I outright said thank you, and in my original post nowhere did I blame Adrienne for the miscolor. I specifically cited yetee’s printers as the source of the issue.
But because of them doing that, and because a lot of the conversations of the situation is getting downplayed and dismissed by some of the official moderation in her games official discord has led me to lose faith in this being a simple miscommunication. This was just targeted.
I’m no longer making any posts regarding this situation, because I think I’ve made myself as clear in my intent as I can be. I am never buying anything from the dev or participating in this fandom again. The response to this was cruel and as much as I genuinely loved this game, the story, the characters and positive times I had with the community- I can’t overlook this either. I’ve had years of people downplaying racism happening to me and my loved ones, so seeing it repeated in a space I thought was safe was worse.
All that I ask is that people learn from this and do better. That actual sincere apologies are had, that actual changes are made without minorities getting retroactively punished and casted aside the minute fans in the community are not praising people doing the bare minimum. To treat each other kindly, to not let bigotry get dismissed and excused and to not throw poc under the bus. Thank you all for your time.
[Image Descriptions: The first image is a screenshot of insertdisc5's Bluesky post announcing new In Stars and Time merch: keychains and poster from the Yetee.
The second image is a reply from @/edgycupcakecontent, which says, "THE POSTER LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!! Heads up though, Mirabelle's fingers on her left hand are going the wrong way." A screenshot of Mirabelle from the poster is included here, showing her reversed left hand.
The third image shows insertdisc5's response, "GASP… thank you for noticing, ill ask if we can get that fixed up!!!" and @/edgycupcakecontent's reply, "Alrighty! Just wanted to let you know. The design is SO good, it has my heart"
The fourth image is insertdisc5's update post, where they show an updated version of the poster. Mirabelle's hand is fixed.
The fifth image is a Tumblr comments conversation between @/the-bitter-ocean and @/kingdom-falls. @/the-bitter-ocean says, "I remember your post! I was happy you made it because I would've never known about the missing pages to begin with had I not compared my friend (who got a digital copy) having different ones". @/kingdom-falls replies to him, "That's exactly what happened to me too, a friend had the digital copy and I had the physical so we saw the differences immediately. I'm glad my post helped! Seeing your post about the whitewashing confirmed some suspicions a friend and I had about the prints but weren't sure of, so despite what's going on now I'm glad you made said post".
The sixth image is a Tumblr comment from @/kingdom-falls, saying, "This is genuinely confusing to me as to why they blocked you. I know we've never interacted, but I had made a post about a year back about the art book issues, and had sent an anon to ID5 about it beforehand so they knew I had made the post, and while the matter eventually got resolved I was never blocked by them. So the fact that ID5 blocked you over a very important and concerning issue is very weird to say the least. I'm sorry this is happening to you, and I hope they apologize to you for this."
The seventh image shows screenshots of insertdisc5's profiles on Tumblr, Instagram, and Bluesky as OP sees them. There are no posts visible on any of them, and the Bluesky screenshot directly states, "User Blocking You." OP has been blocked across all of these platforms. A drawing is included in the image showing OP's reaction: utter disbelief as they say, "What." In the background of this drawing is the Shinji chair meme and faded screaming text, conveying internal screaming. End Image Descriptions]
Making a public apology and then refusing to acknowledge let alone apologize for the fact you blocked black people who pointed out the mistake in the first place to damage control situation makes you look insincere I fear. This is really sad. Please do better.
saw the reply to no one in the apology post and thought to add it here. i don't see why this was left as a reply instead of a reblog because it just seems like this is a way of trying to get no one to see this... 'reasoning'... because all ocean did was explain the printing issue, so why is this being called "negativity" worth being blocked?
[Image Description: insertdisc5 leaving a reply that reads "I made the decision to block some people as part of a wider decision towards taking a healthier approach to how I interact with my work online, which has otherwise involved being exposed to a lot of ongoing negativity in certain spaces that has taken a toll on me. This does NOT refer to raising this issue with the merchandise, which I'm thankful for. I appreciate that Ocean flagged this as a concern, and I am not looking to censor anyone for their opinions. Now I am going to log off for a bit". End Image Description]
