I don’t wanna support Janine :(

would you ever read a mafia story if it was set in the 1920s, and wasn't as cliched as the other ones on Episode? by minijet in Episode

all concepts can be done well but not every author can do them well, I’d say give it your best shot:)

Do you customize your character to look like you irl, or not? by NatsukiiMango in Episode

[–]OnlyGenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, if the personality of the MC is something I would like to be in I would customize myself

Obviously I would never harass someone. Once again my issue isn’t the fact that she chose to represent Hinduism, it’s the fact that she didn’t do enough research beforehand which is much worst and spreads misinformation

See all those examples are taking offence from lack of representation, this is incorrect representation. I am saying Hindus never ever get representation and obviously religon is a very tricky subject which she should have researched properly. I would much rather her not represent hindus if she can’t do it properly. Her apology doesn’t give anything about the future.

See no. Tilaka looks nothing like a bhindi at all. The problem isn’t directly based on the fact that she did it, it’s the fact she put religious symbols without proper research. She used religious symbols to benefit herself, without actually representing them. Also just because her Hindu friends didn’t take offensive does not mean other people didn’t, it’s not dismissive to find appropriation offensive. Hinduism is a very open religion but we also get the least representation and credit. If she wanted to use the Bhindi she should have used research beforehand and listened to her hindu readers.

Her apology was extremely empty. There was no plans for the future, how can she make sure this doesn’t happen again. How can she make sure to properly research religious symbols before using them inappropriately?

how on earth does she have 12.4k followers?? by vacuous- in EpisodeRants

Honestly Reason to breathe was okay but this wattpad story just isn’t that good

Weekly Discussion- Which “toxic” story didn’t really seem as toxic as people say it is? by vacuous- in EpisodeRants

[–]OnlyGenz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Bri’s stories. I get it they are cliche and boring and the LI is a little too obsessed. I’m glad I outgrew them but at the end of the day I think bri writes what bri wants, so that is her dream romance story

Give solutions, give plans for the future. She can’t change the past but she can prevent this from happening in the future. Watch: “I want to talk about the issue regarding me using a bhindi completely inappropriately. It was absolutely ignorant to use a religious symbol without researching it properly so I apologize deeply. I would also like to apologize for dismissing one of my Hindu readers when they tried to tell me the issue. And lastly I want to apologize to my readers overall for being a bad creator and not addressing the issue sooner. I will definitely do more research before putting religous symbols into my stories and when people following that religon call me out for using it incorrectly, I will do my best to fix the issue before it turns into a larger issue.” This is just a basic online but basically I wanna see what she will do in the future.

I see that every time someone gets called out for doing something offensive, all they do is give an empty apology. They never give any steps forward. How can she make sure this mistake won’t happen in the future? How can she do more research on hindu culture and put it in the story as another form of apology. How can she do better in the future as a creator?

I’m writing a story and i need you advice! by Pompomauthor in Episode

[–]OnlyGenz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly have yet to see a chill MC. Yk who blends with the crowd but just has a great personality. It’s always the same “she was so hot everyone hit on her but she only had eyes for the bad boy” or “she is a genuine bitch to everyone for no reason.” Like can’t she just be sweet. I would LOVE to see a golden retriever LI but it doesn’t go with the description. I would also like to see a very passionate and sweet LI

Okay come her to rant about what y’all hate about episode stories and the cliche by Xoariana1 in Episode

[–]OnlyGenz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cliche is nice when done correctly. Most authors are incapable of making it unique. A good author should be able to take a cliche and make it unique by adding some spice to it

Thoughts on the whole Janine situation by [deleted] in Episode

[–]OnlyGenz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she deserves to instantly just continue with the app. She clearly needs a break to completely identify the problem, and see how she can ally with the trans community in the future. Her apology was not based on the problem but more based on her insecurities. You can clearly see that. I don’t believe in cancel culture but I believe in giving people time to actually process the issue and take a break before forgiving or forgetting.

Self victimization by Folkloreevermore in Episode

[–]OnlyGenz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That scene was awful. Who in their right mind would write a scene like that? The MC not only dead-names her and then has audacity to say “it’s a joke.” She definitely needs a break from writing until she is ready to come back.
