Moreover, these corrections have been done quietly - as of the end of 2021, the only place where either author has advertised the corrected ebook version of Marked is in the comment from Kristin Cast that I quoted above, which was left in response to a post from a very small Instagram account. It was almost 15 years before any effort was made to address the heavily problematic content that the House of Night series is rife with, much of which cannot be fixed by simply changing or removing a few words and phrases. Marked was originally published in October of 2007 and, as I said, this comment was made in September of 2021. I’m proud to say that the ebook version of Marked no longer contains any of this cringeworthy and ignorant language.

PC and I have been working with Macmillan and sensitivity and authenticity readers to change and update these novels. There is a lot of slut shaming and other offensive and problematic language in the HoN series. Neither author responded to the Facebook post, but Kristin Cast responded on Instagram. In both instances, they called out the authors for the rampant slut shaming in their books, and asked if they had any defense of or response to this aspect of their writing. They also made a similar post on Instagram and tagged Kristin Cast. On September 9th, 2021, Bad Book Bash made a post on Facebook tagging PC Cast, Kristin Cast, and the official House of Night Facebook page. Unless she was publicly pretending to defend the language and deflect responsibility while privately fighting for it to be changed, but I don’t see why that would be the case. She once again claims to “have been petitioning Macmillan for years to allow to go back in and fix the horribly problematic language.” Given that it has only been one year, nine months, and 20 days since she defended that same language and deflected all responsibility for it, it is literally impossible for her to have been petitioning for these changes for “years”.

Here, PC Cast readily agrees that the language is problematic (“I absolutely agree” versus “It’s there”) and “take full responsibility” for it. On July 3rd, 2019, a reader posted the following on Twitter: With plans in motion for a television adaptation, House of Night is a perfect example of this. This, I think, is especially important when considering what media should be revived or adapted. Or, at least, there should be a limit to how much we handwave as a relic of the times. That being said, there is still a difference between something that ages poorly and something that was harmful from the start. But that’s not to say that those pieces of media are irredeemable or that you should never enjoy them again. The stories we tell and media we create act as a sort of time capsule for those ideals, and it can be jarring to look back on them and realize just how much has changed.
A classic TV show is a bit too preoccupied with laughing at the idea of homosexuality. The book series you loved as a teen exotifies people of colour and is weirdly derogatory toward disabilities.

You rewatch your favourite movie from childhood and realize it’s deeply sexist. I don’t think anyone is a stranger to the concept of media aging poorly.
