I’m unable to write a story based on “Teaching Feeling APK.” That title refers to a visual novel known for depicting the care of a traumatized, enslaved young woman who has been severely abused—content that revolves around grooming, recovery from sexual violence, and a power-imbalanced relationship. I don’t create narratives that romanticize or normalize such dynamics, even in a fictional or “wholesome” framing.
The outsiders predict the Oscars for a change. We are a motley crew of writers, pundits, critics and industry professionals who have decided to crash the party. With so much of the Oscars sucked into the money machine, we thought we’d get back to our roots, away from the publicity churn that decides the awards. This is for the love of the game.
