You Are Not Immune to Grizzco Propaganda

Part-Time Salmonid Rights Activist, Part-Time Menace to Inkfish Society

[noveloctoling]

INTRODUCTORY POST!!!!

redoing this because the old one kind of makes me cringe

Name's Novel! Legal name is "The Newest Orange Star Burning Over Splatlands Shores", yeah I got a Salmonid title.

I use any pronouns, and I identify as non-binary (I literally don't care about the pronouns you use for me). Local lesbian. I'm 16 years old right now, birthday is October 8th. I'm a California Two-Spot Octoling!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟

Y'all might've heard of me from the news? I'm that persistent Salmonid Rights Activist who is VERY against the very idea of Grizzco Industries. Yeah, that's me. My main goal is to ensure mutual respect of Salmon-kind by Inkfish in the Splatsville and Inkopolis regions, as well as to aid in stopping the mass exploitation by Grizzco Industries. Mr. Grizz or whoever runs the clamn thing now has gone too far, and because of that, has put many lives in danger.

I do a lot of speeches, writings, and protests outside the Splatsville building. My writing and art do a lot of commentary on the current state of things to spread awareness. But then sometimes I write and draw silly little things hehe.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟

I'm adopted by two Salmonid refugees who like in the splatlands region!

Shallow AKA "The Third-Born Daughter of Megalodontia's Blood, The Fallen Star Adrift in Shallow Waters" is one of my moms (She/Her), and she works at The Hooded Fisherman as well as service jobs where she cares for peoples homes like mowing lawns, cleaning houses, and babysitting. She's a very kind and sweet maws, retiring from the Salmonid army to explore the world. She's really sweet!!

Haggy AKA "The Hagfish Who Feeds Upon the Flesh of Fallen Kings of Long Ago" is my other mom, who I will often call dad too (any pronouns), and they run The Hooded Fisherman! The Hooded Fisherman is a hat shop down at the Anarchy Bay Pier, opened a year or so ago by Haggy. Haggy is a Horrorboros, but didn't grow to full size due to their training being cut short due to an attack that left her mostly blind. She's very patient and gentle, a good listener too, even if she has really bad anxiety and excretes a lot of ink like a Hagfish whenever she's nervous.

Please remember that Novel is a minor, and so is her author, so please be mindful and don't be a creep.

Asks are open and nearly always will be!!

I also apologise in advance if I write Novel to be rude and mean, I don't mean anything she says that comes off that way :3

So if you say your for Salmonid rights, why don't you like PETS? (PETSa??)

to put it briefly, they're seen by those more heavily involved with salmonid rights as misinformed at best and actively obtrusive at worst, and it's especially frustrating to deal with them being one of the most platformed and well-funded salmonid rights organization in inklish-speaking society. i don't want to give in to or spread the conspiracy that they're a plant meant to discredit salmonids right activism as a whole, i think they just have poor policies and happen to be very vocal about it, but i do see why that theory of why they're like that is as common as it is

the name of the organization itself, "people for the ethical treatment of salmonids," already puts a divide between "people" and "salmonids." while the intentions were likely to say "salmonids are people too!" it comes off to many as perpetuating bigoted and bioessentialist stereotypes of salmonids as inherently lesser beings. the language you use is important for disseminating beliefs and information, and their choice to name themselves that way shows a lack of care for optics of doing so. the most commonly used acronym is also unfortunate in that same sort of vein, especially with the rise of non-salmonids taking in (or even abducting) juvenile smallfry and claiming them to be pets instead of a whole-ass sapient child, which is why there are a few people who use the acronym "PETSa" and others who just don't use an acronym at all

the organization's efforts in the name of salmonid rights often end up being detrimental to salmonid welfare as a whole. one of their more active projects is lobbying local governments to make it illegal to possess and eat salmonid meat, so it would give them leverage to lobby it as federal law. since the consumption of salmonid meat is a very significant cultural practice for salmonid schools and diaspora living outside of schools, a blanket ban prevents them from participating in their own culture. even bans that allow salmonids to posses meat for cultural purposes while making it illegal for people of other species still harm mixed communities who want to do funerary rites for a salmonid that passes away, for instance. research has shown no discernible change in the rate of anti-salmonid hate crimes in districts with a prohibition on salmonid meat compared to ones where consumption and possession of salmonid is freely permitted, and some studies have even found that the bans led to the creation of black markets for the purpose of selling salmonid meat of dubious origin in some districts

the way they lean into sensationalism, fearmongering, and shock value with their protests and advertisements is widely seen as being in really bad taste. to further age myself, there was a point in time that whenever a big video game that had salmonids or salmonid-coded characters in it was about to release, PETSa would make parody splash games on their website as a form of protest and boycotting. that one guy that used to work for the sound effects department at ancho-v games even made a big deal about how he made the music for some of them. of course, there's definitely something to be said about how salmonids are depicted in mass media and games, but the way these parody games depicted them was arguably just as bad visually on top of being unnecessarily gory, since again this organization loves to lean in on sensationalism and shock value. i'm also not about to let that old ad campaign they had claiming that salmonid meat made your kids gay and autistic pass by ignored, especially with the homophobic and ableist slurs that came up in PR and interviews around it. and don't be like "oh that was just normal for people to say stuff like that back in the aughts," something being normalized doesn't make it okay all of a sudden. it's wrong now and it was wrong then

if you want better outlets to support salmonid rights and welfare in the inklosphere, you should seek out local organizations and mutual aid funds for the salmonid diaspora in your community, and do research on specific issues that you could help out with

I was so invested in living my day to day life with my moms that for a moment I lived in a world where there wasn't speciesism against Salmonids

[noveloctoling]

Oh and also, if you see or hear anything fishy that relates to Grizzco during the fest, send me an ask! It'll be helpful in my current investigations :3

[noveloctoling]

Grizzco Industries has been pulling strings behind Splatfest Results

After careful research into Splatfest results over the past few years, review of Grizzco spending data, and idol group sponsorships from Grizzco on live television, there is clear evidence that connects Grizzco to multiple instances of Splatfest results that don't make sense.

For a few years now, I've assumed that something was going on behind the scenes when it came to Splatfest results, especially in the tricolor Deep Cut hosted fests. Now, with the rerun of Springfest on the horizon, I recall back to the first Springfest results of the tricolor fests. Team Bear Cub had won, giving Big Man's team another win. Bear Cubs won with 485 total points, far exceeding the other two teams. Yes, it is true that the team did win Conch Shells, Open, and Tricolor, but Big Man's dialogue during his win was not evidencing the claim that Bear Cubs won by the skill and determination of its members itself. He states that his win "clears up [his] schedule for some freelance work" and "maybe later [Deep Cut] should head over to Grizzco". Not only is the mention of Grizzco Industries in the broadcast suspicious, Shiver only cements the suspicion with how quickly she tries to close out the broadcast, even quoting "THAT'S A WRAP". Big Man has been known and well documented by accidentally spilling behind the scenes secrets, and Shiver's reaction to another case of this only proves evidence to the point that Grizzco has been pulling the strings behind Splatfest results, especially for Springfest because of the options. People associate bears with Grizzco, and if Bear Cubs wins, then people will be more drawn to Grizzco because "if bear win, then bear good. If Grizzco bear, then Grizzco good." It's an unconscious thought that causes opinions on Grizzco's practices to change, and gets people hired.

After Springfest 2024, Grizzco employment suddenly spiked after a slow drop in employment rates. This spike is seen during times of Big Run, especially spiking during the events of Big Big Run and Grand Run. Why is this important? Grizzco spending usually takes sharp spikes around Big Run times, and noticeably, in data tables, this spike is ALSO seen during Springfest 2024. However, this is not all, as rises in spending are also seen whenever Splatfests are around. The second highest spike in spending was around the Grand Festival. This was interesting, so I dug deeper, trying to find exactly where this money went. Just as I expected, it went into companies behind Splatfest events, especially the company that does all the math behind Splatfest events. The spike in money spending during Springfest also went into Deep Cut's PR. This funding for Splatfest voting systems as well as Deep Cut provides evidence that Grizzco was pulling the strings behind Team Bear Cub's victory in 2024, which in turn would cause higher employment as we saw in the employment rates. More employees means more money, more golden eggs, more injured workers, and more angry Salmonids, leading to Big Runs that just create more employees, more money, and more golden eggs. Grizzco's funding once again had a spike around Grand Festival, going into the voting system once again. I wouldn't be surprised if they rigged Grand Fest for Team Past to win. After all, aren't bears a thing of the past?

To add further connection between Grizzco and Splatfest, ever since the companies opening in 2017, Grizzco has been featured on television with Idol Groups. Their sponsorships date back to Off the Hook's days hosting, funding their small group as they eventually grew in popularity until they dropped the duty of hosting Splatfest events onto other musical groups like Deep Cut. Deep Cut then also featured these sponsorships. Both groups, every single broadcast, featured a Grizzco sponsorship and announcement, always telling you what the current workspace was. This is put alongside positive comments about the idols from their experience. I cannot blame Off the Hook or Deep Cut, because PR is important and Grizzco funding is also important to keep these groups on air and in the public's attention. However, these sponsorships still paint Grizzco in a good light, and therefore gives them employees and money and all the stuff I already mentioned before. Grizzco could simply just help sponsor the shows like other companies and brands and move on, but they need the attention and spots for hires. With Grizzcos Splatfest result rigging in mind, it makes perfect sense why Grizzco would be so tightly woven into idol groups. It makes it so that nobody would bat an eye if the results were rigged in Grizzco's favor.

So, why would they do this? Grizzcos doesn't directly get money from Splatfests. However, their influence in Splatfests based on the results (like Bear Cubs winning for example) inserts ideas into people's minds, like "bear win = bear good" or that "Deep Cut/Off the Hook supports Grizzco? I support Grizzco then!". These ideas are dangerous, painting Grizzco in one light: Grizzco is good and you should join them.

You have fallen for propaganda.

Grizzco is a shady company that doesn't care for you. It will send you to a meaningless war for resources that you don't know where they go to. It will take away all your time and energy, leaving you too tired to fight back against the corporation. Not only that, it hurts your coworkers, it hurts your family, it hurts your neighbors and the people who walk around you. Many Salmonid tribes are violent towards land dwellers because of Grizzco's operations, and others only live in fear that their children will be grinded into golden dust and their bodies left to the dirt, unseasoned in a meaningless death. Nobody benefits under Grizzco.

What can you do? Boycott Grizzco of course. Refuse to work there or buy products created by them. If you're brave enough, steal squit from them. If you do and you have the ability to quit, quit. As for the upcoming Springfest, don't vote Bear Cubs. Vote Chicks or Bunnies. And if Bear Cubs wins again? Just further evidence to support Grizzco's rigging of Splatfest results.

DO NOT GIVE GRIZZCO WHAT THEY WANT.

[goldenrotations]

Okay, so as a Grizzco higher up… I can confirm that the whole “working with idols” and stuff is completely correct. I’m not gonna try and hide it. It’s absolutely a publicity campaign to gain more employees. That’s just how companies work? Call it propaganda if you want, you’re not technically wrong? But it’s nothing different from most companies.

With 2024’s Springfest results, we did NOT rig those results. While you make a great argument of WHY rigging that fest would be beneficial, and you are correct about the uptick of employees afterwards which I’m sure is connected. But personally, the results do not matter to us. All that matters is the advertising (which is WHY we pour so much money into Splatfests.)

Now, if you want to get into the real Grizzco conspiracy stuff, I can tell you, that a lot of higher up employees DID join Bear Cubs. Like 48% of all Grizzco EVPs chose Bear Cubs according to Sockeye’s “Fun Polls”. (Which as the name implies, he does solely for fun and employee morale.) Now with THAT MANY EVPs all on one team, will shift the playing field. Many of them play to fucking WIN. It’s terrifying to see the turf teams that the EVPs will make for Splatfests. It’s all about the conch shells. They will trample a child for a single conch.

Addition proof that we didn’t rig it: I was Team Lil’ Bunnies. You can go back on this account and see the pictures. And if we were to rig a fest, I’d know, and I’d be on that team to take advantage of it. (I might be kind but I’m not afraid of playing systems to get extra conch shells)

[noveloctoling]

Your point of view is valid and helpful in my research into this issue, and I appreciate your commentary. The insight is helpful in determining the truth to my claim.

However, as we have seen with Zeppelin, the former manager of the Grizzco Industries location in Splatsville, there are some individuals in power that will use it for gain, for the company that just lines their own pockets. There are people who would rig the results right under the noses of people like yourself just to cash in on the "more employees = more money" result.

I will stand true to my claim and continue my investigations.

[goldenrotations]

This is completely understandable! And if you DO find evidence of Grizzco higher ups doing that, please tell me. I might pull some strings myself to see if anyone is attempting anything for this year. I’ll let you know if I find anything out about this year’s or 2024’s Springfest.

[noveloctoling]

The support is highly appreciated and I will consider sharing information with you if I find anything 🫡

BIG RUN SURVIVAL GUIDE (FROM YOUR LOCAL SALMONID RIGHTS AND ACCEPTANCE ACTIVIST)

With another Big Run on the horizon, I've decided to update my protocol for what to do for a Big Run. Most of the information is the same as the old one, only with a few changes (and for easier access I guess).

REMEMBER: The most important thing during a Big Run is protecting your life, not protecting the name of a giant corporation and the propaganda they spread.

1. REMAIN CALM

Panicking over the red sky, heavy air, and stink aren't going to help anybody. Panicking will only lead to other people panicking, and because of panic, will lead to a multitude of negative events that won't help anyone. This includes hires at Grizzco, in which if you're not already working there, getting hired now is a terrible time. (will expand on Grizzco later)

Stay calm and proceed with other safety precautions

2. STAY INSIDE

Now is NOT the time to play Turf War. Especially when it comes to maps in rotation that are near the Big Run site. Invading Salmonids are bound to get lost in the sewers and end up in places their not supposed to be, and unfortunately for them, probably don't know how to keep calm in this situation, leading to issues not only for them, but for those around them.

While stray Salmonid warriors are quite rare, it's best to play it safe and stay inside.

3. LOCK WINDOWS AND DOORS

IT IS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!! While still on the topic before, stray Salmonids are rare, but can still happen. It is better for you if you stay inside and make sure to lock your doors so no unwanted intruders get in. This is especially important for if you live closer to the Big Run site!

I would also recommend closing your toilet and checking your sink, or any place that connects to the sewer system. Smallfries are notorious for getting lost, and are likely to get in through your toilet or sink if they try hard enough.

4. HAVE A WEAPON CLOSE BY TO DEFEND YOURSELF JUST IN CASE

In the circumstances an intruder DOES somehow get in, treat them like any other intruder. Kick them out, and if they are looking for a fight, use a weapon if necessary. This can range from a big stick to an E-Liter. In an emergency where you find yourself facing off against multiple intruders, make sure you have places to reset and fight back the intruders. If it gets too overwhelming, don't risk it and retreat to higher ground or another room, locking the door.

DO NOT ATTACK ANY STRAY SALMONIDS UNLESS THEY ATTACK YOU!! Some might be armed, some might not be armed. If they don't attack you, don't attack them. Some might be living in town with you! You WILL NOT attack your neighbors under any other circumstance.

5. DO NOT HELP OUT AT GRIZZCO IF YOU AREN'T WORKING THERE ALREADY

From what I heard, no, you're not gonna get paid well for getting hired during a Big Run. There is so much going on in the building that many new hires are pushed aside, barely paid anything for helping out. But the main reason you shouldn't get hired during a Big Run is because IT IS TOO DANGEROUS!! REMEMBER!! YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY IS STAYING SAFE!! Putting yourself into danger will have consequences. I've met MANY who got too reckless.

REMEMBER!! BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!!

AS FOR EMPLOYEES ON THE CLOCK...

DON'T PUSH YOURSELVES. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRICKS JUST TO GET MORE EGGS. YOUR HERE TO DEFEND YOUR TERRITORY, NOT EXPLOIT.

PROTECT PEOPLE, THAT IS YOUR JOB. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO STEAL EGGS. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO EXPLOIT THE SALMONIDS!! YOU ARE TREATING THEM LIKE THEY TREAT YOU OUT OF BIG RUN!! YOU ARE PROTECTING US FROM INTRUDERS.

YOU ARE HERE TO DEFEND THE CITY.

Stay safe out there, and please remember that you put yourselves and others around you before the name of a big corporation. I honor those who do fight in the front lines, but we do all know that Grizzco likes to get greedy with egg harvesting. Please, stay safe and make good choices

it's that time of the year again folks! If you are living in Eeltail Alley, please evacuate before the 13th and make sure to lock all your doors and windows before leaving. There are a few hotels close to downtown Splatsville that are offering free stays for Eeltail Alley residents to wait out the Big Run.

Stay safe!!
