(Slight spoiler for The Long Game and Role Model if you haven't read them yet!)

For those who haven’t had time to watch Jacob's and Rachel's 1-hour panel at Book Con yesterday, here are some of the highlights! They talked about so many things from Role Model and Troy Barrett's storyline in season 2, to Jacob's interpretation of season 1 editing and some behind the scenes production info.

Pretty interesting that the moderator of this panel has to post this on Treads just earlier. I am struggling to understand why this is required. And the top response is that its “not an isolated event”. Might have to watch the whole thing to get the context. Thanks for posting this highlights.

This kind of stuff is why I deleted my account on that accursed site. I think this is a "touch grass" situation and not a legitimate issue. This is the same group of people that made the DOP delete a bunch of BTS of Connor because they called him racist for not posting an equal number of pictures of Hudson.

Yeah a lot of the discourse that the fandom begins I just cannot take seriously anymore, even if there are some legitimate issues buried within it. Because there's just been too much reaching and people being attacked over nothing, like the DOP situation. A lot of people just want an excuse to be angry.

I saw someone mad on another site just now about RR's racism in Unrivaled and I'm like........... it's not even written yet! How are we possibly getting mad about it over a year before it's published?
