[ID: A screenshot from user @linellin that reads "Would you be willing to say more about what happened, since it went over my head?" \End ID]

In reference to this post.

The main thing is what happened in 2021, when the Penumbra Podcast crew hired an artist to promote their new season, but the depictions of the characters were racist stereotypes. This is not the first time they hired this artist and not the first time the fans spoke up about how they felt hurt by it. Specifically poc fans. One of the creators of tpp even acted a bit irrationally and made a thread about the fans being unnecessarily upset, trying to shift blame onto the fandom. It brought more attention to the problem than was warranted. They haven't apologized about it (to my knowledge) but the thread has been deleted since then. This also happened around the time the BLM movement was gaining attention.

It took a while after, but the Penumbra crew eventually took down the depictions and posted an apology on their website. It's not anything special. "We heard you, we listened, it wasn't our intention-" yadda yadda yadda. BUT! They didn't do anything beyond that. They continue to not really showcase poc va's in their show (at least up to the point I stopped listening. don't know anything after like beginning of s3, and my research has come up short). Their reasoning being that race isn't seen negatively in the Juno-verse, but that's just the same as saying don't see color". I remember a lot of black fans got upset with all of this. Their argument was that Juno isn't a story about race. But you can't separate queer issues or classism or any of the other big themes in Juno Steel from racial issues in the real world. It felt like we were being neglected in this universe and the things many queer poc fans are actually facing were being avoided in fiction spaces yet again.

Where I was on social media, previous Penumbra fans told everyone to stop listening and boycott the show. I don't know if this was the right move in retrospect, especially since it didn't do anything. But I was younger and couldn't think for myself, so I followed the crowd. At this point in my own life l've left tpp behind for so long that I don't really care to start listening again anyways. Especially since there are so many podcasts out there that I enjoy more and actually do amplify poc voices.

NOTE: Everything I've said here is mainly from my loose recollection and a bit of fact checking here and there. To be honest I wasn't too invested in the issue when it was happening so I didn't pay too close attention. Take everything I've said here with a grain of salt, just in case. And do your own research on this if you want to know more. I'm sure there's stuff l've forgotten to say.

And if anyone who knows more or is keeping up with tpp wants to say something, please feel free to add onto this post.

#sorry for the long post but its a big issue #im a brown person so some of the issues raised i could understand #but mostly this hit hardest with black fans whos representation came as harmful stereotypes in the art and in the podcast itself #i hope this was helpful #the penumbra podcast #the penumbra pod #penumbra pod #penumbra podcast #tpp #juno steel #please add on if you know more

Remembering how when I first started listening to The Penumbra Podcast, they were still using the shitty door opening sound effects because Harley Kaner was working with a budget of like, zero dollars. Not knowing this, I immediately assumed "Oh! In the future, all doors zip open like tent flaps."
