You are spot on, any criticism about their IF and they cry and scream victim. It's absurd. If they can't handle receiving negative feedback they have no business writing a IF. I know many authors like that. It makes it very hard to enjoy a IF because of the toxicity in their souls.
Spit your fax indeed my friend
Ew. And the added tags on the post are even worse. Like god forbid if she (and the dick riders in the comments or whatever Tumblr calls it) ever vent about anything they dislike anywhere. People are allowed to have opinions about the stuff thrown out there on the internet even -gasp- negative opinions (shocking I know). May as just well own that they want a toxic positivity-only echo chamber and leave the people not even bothering them directly alone (and maybe she should follow her own advice and get a job or a hobby).
I have honestly regretted ever taking a peek at ATOC's author's tumblr because I was enjoying it up to learning how she actually interacted with people (even people politely asking her questions) and pretended like she was the only acceptable moral authority in the world. And now, even if the end product is free for all (which I think is the case? I dunno haven't looked at it in ages), I won't be touching it (or anything else she does) with a ten foot pole.
Funny thing is, these people do have a hobby... Reading IFs... Which includes discussing said IFs, including the elements they didn't like in them.
No because for real. Everytime I see something by her it pisses me off to no end. The horny people on reddit thirsting after characters and making memes? Why don't you tell the same to them? Why don't you say the same to authors who have no demo on Tumblr and yet have all the time in the world to answer asks about how an ro likes their tea? Hell even, why is SHE sitting down and writing that post instead of her IF and hating on people who are in a server of their OWN? Does she not have anything else to do?
what'd tale of crowns author do? I remember seeing her game on itch and thinking it looks cool (mostly because i like non american/british stories, no offense). Checked her tumblr out a bit and it's mainly reposts of fanart.
Reminds me of someone made a comments about how a different IF author created unfinished work then starts on something new, and making multiple IFs and leaving them unfinished just isn't a good look. I'm just glad someone finally spoke up for once.
I dropped this game when I found out that Xelia, the RO, was actively pursuing the MC while also sleeping around with other people. A lot of players criticized this, and rightfully so, because it felt like a huge betrayal, especially in a romance focused story. Instead of addressing the criticism, the author shut people down and then disappeared from Tumblr (why are you running)
That's... not fun at all.
ATOC is based on Kurdish culture, and yes she has a patreon profiting from them
That is the thing then, she's racist to her own people (??) Very weird
Man, talk about overreacting Oo
Dang it, I need to create a Patreon-led g(sc)ame and start drawing the pity for the half-breed French!
She from what I've seen from her comes across as if she believes her moral standards are the only valid standards to judge by and if you don't agree with her viewpoint then you are just plain wrong. Add Tumblr's propensity towards stroking/defending the egos of creators plus it's tendency to create echo chambers and you get people like her who believe their **** don't stink.
Hire me Vamp Chef, lemme cooook
HOW DARE THEE BESMIRCH THE HOLIEST— Ok just kidding. That part of the plot was completely unexpected.
That requires levels of pirating skills, but who knows.....
