I’ll also finally post on this: I deleted Blind Spot. If you’re curious why, it’s because I wrote that when I was 14 and it seemed okay because, you know, I was a minor myself and right around the character’s age. Now, I’m older, I’m an adult, and it did not feel right to keep a story revolving around a romantic plot with a minor (a 12-year-old, in fact) on my page. So I just got rid of it and decided to pretty much not mention it for a while.
          	
          	I think AtLA is basically the only thing I don’t feel comfortable writing for, and the reason is two-fold. Almost every main character is a minor, for one. And second, I don’t think I wanna alter that story. That story is perfect the way it is, the characters are perfect, everything works together like an intricate puzzle. I personally don’t want to mess with it. I have plenty of other avenues of more imperfect stories that I’m more comfortable making changes to for my own designs, but Avatar is sort of sacred to me as a writer.
          	
          	So yeah, I basically burned my Mona Lisa because I don’t wanna be thought of as a pedophile nor attract a pedophilic audience (not saying you all are, but it is kinda weird how excited everyone got over that story). And if you are a pedophile, burn at the stake and rot in hell.

I obviously don’t normally get into this stuff, but I feel strongly about the lack of proper representation in Natlan. I’m white, so obviously my opinion in this does, in fact, matter less, since it’s not, for instance, Polish culture that’s being used. However, it feels wrong to me to heavily base a nation in the game off of non-white cultures and just completely ignore the thing that makes that culture so beautiful and vibrant, the thing that makes that culture live: The people. I don’t think it’s right to just ignore their existence and take everything else they have to offer.
          
          It probably won’t do much, but there is this petition (https://chng.it/tYbpvFKCtw), so sign it on the off chance it might help make some sort of change. Hoyo does sometimes listen to the fanbase, so it could potentially do something.
          
          The best way to attempt to improve the situation, though, is to boycott. At the end of the day, Hoyo is a company. Any damage to their bottom line will make more of an impact than complaining on the internet. I was already mostly F2P anyway, but I’m not spending another cent on their games until this shit is fixed, and if it doesn’t get fixed, I just will never spend any money on them again. I think it’s important to include all their games in this (HI3, HSR, ZZZ), not just Genshin. It makes more of an impact, especially with how recent ZZZ is.
          
          So there’s my personal call to action. It’s small, but try and spread this sort of message if you care.

I’m genuinely curious as to what happened with Blind Spot but none do the other questions are getting answered

Possibly, if so is a sad way of seeing it go since we’ll never know why, but if it just on pause and he decided to hide it then he gave us one hell of a scare
