## Changes Most Likely/Certainly Not Caused by the Robin Corporation

Numerous media industries in general seem to at least slightly be better ITTL than IOTL.

### 50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III (50 Cent) is arguably somewhat of a better person ITTL who supposedly never assaulted anyone, particularly ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy, due to not having any public allegations/charges against him. He also has been less supportive of Republican politicians ITTL than IOTL. (Curtis, however, has still gotten into a number of feuds with other musical artists ITTL)

### Aerosmith

ITTL, the band’s 2021 distribution deal was signed with Sony instead of Robin. (Steven Tyler is just about the same of a person ITTL as he was ITTL, and he was still accused of sexual assault, etc. towards then-minor Julia Holcomb)

### Bill Cosby

ITTL, Bill Cosby (at least supposedly) lives up to his family-friendly image far more than IOTL and (again, at least supposedly) is a much better person who doesn’t abuse, rape, insult, etc.. As a result, he remains a prominent media figure to this day.

ITTL, while drug-facilitated sexual assault is well-known by experts on different forms of abuse and such, due to Bill Cosby not having committed such acts, it’s arguably at least somewhat lesser-known beyond there. (regardless, several radio stations (albeit arguably less ITTL than IOTL) still pulled the Christmas song "Baby, It’s Cold Outside" due to supposedly subtly containing such within its lyrics; a large number of said stations were at least partially owned by Robin)

(the "separate art from the artist" argument still died down in a way ITTL, albeit at least somewhat slower due to Bill Cosby not having a part in such)

(more information to be added, possibly)

### Bob Hoskins and Jane Livesey

Although Bob and Jane still had a rough relationship that eventually resulted in a breakup ITTL, Jane didn’t specifically accuse Bob of being violent, unlike IOTL.

### Brian Robbins

Brian Robbins is arguably a better person ITTL, not nearly being as enabling of misbehavior from series’ showrunners as people have said IOTL. Also, due to Nickelodeon being owned by Robin ITTL, he hasn’t ever worked for Viacom/Paramount.

It’s also worth noting that Brian Robbins hasn’t been outwardly supportive of Israel ITTL, unlike IOTL.

### Britney Spears and Fernando Flores

ITTL, Fernando Flores latter never accused Britney Spears of sexual assault towards him or any of the latter’s children.

### Cardi B

ITTL, Cardi never admitted to drugging and robbing men during her career as a stripper, unlike IOTL. (In 2022, though, Cardi would still be sentenced for assault charges from a fight at a New York strip club at two sisters who were bartenders back in 2018)

### Casper Van Dien and Catherine Oxenberg

ITTL, outlets like The National Enquirer never reported on Van Dien being arrested for supposedly physically assaulting then-wife Oxenberg in 2002.

### Chris De Burgh

ITTL, Chris De Burgh supposedly never had an affair with his children’s then-young nanny due to no one speaking up about such, unlike IOTL.

### Dan Schneider

Dan Schneider doesn’t exist ITTL; a number of the shows he made (including *Drake and Josh*, *Zoey 101*, *iCarly*, *Victorious*, and the show he co-created with Wil Calhoun for The WB before the former 4 entitled *What I Like About You*) instead came from the mind of another man named David Taylor, who’s seen as less creepy and impulsive than Dan Schneider (he’s considered a rather consistent and laid-back (non-abusive, verbally or not) man who’s notably averse to being touched or touching others, as does he hardly ever smile; while his shows for Nickelodeon still have a number of innuendoes, it doesn’t get to the point where they come off as creepy, with there being a lot less material with feet, if even at all; also, over the years, he has hired an increasing number of women in his shows, feeling regret for his early days where he rarely hired them due to having claimed to not have appreciated them enough); said man also worked on various other shows in place of where Dan Schneider would’ve worked IOTL, such as *All That*, *Kenan & Kel* and *The Amanda Show*. None of the shows Taylor created for Nickelodeon use laugh tracks, as he claims to never have been a fan of them; the shows that use laugh tracks IOTL are arguably somewhat less slow-paced as a result. David is also at least somewhat notably less tolerant/enabling of bad behavior on set, regardless of whether it comes from actors, executives, supervisors, etc.; David’s more likely than Dan to mediate at someone’s request. David respects and supports all actors equally and expects other adults on-set to give them respect and support as well.

### David Cross

ITTL, David wasn’t accused of being racist towards comedian Charlyne Yi (or anyone else, for that matter), unlike IOTL.

### Delta Air Lines

ITTL, at least partially due to the city of North James existing and having its own International Airport (which is more popular than the nearby Richmond International Airport, located about half an hour Southeast of where the North James airport is), the Atlanta-based company has a hub in the North James International Airport (NJX), primarily serving the upper Southeastern and lower Mid-Atlantic regions (including the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area).

### Eddie Murphy

ITTL, Eddie has never been accused of sexually harassing anybody, meaning that the 1989 Harlem Nights incident most likely didn’t happen. The incident of him having Trans prostitute Shalimar Seiuli in his car also didn’t happen ITTL, with Shalimar thus not becoming very well-known. (whether or not she is alive today is unknown by the general public)

### Elton John

ITTL, Elton John has supposedly neither sexually harassed any security guards of his nor anybody else due to not receiving any allegations against him.

Also, Elton also wasn’t spotted having dinner with Kevin Spacey after the latter’s sexual assault trials in 2023, unlike IOTL.

### EMI

ITTL, what was sold of EMI to Universal Music Group IOTL was sold to Warner Music Group instead. (It is said that Robin lacked interest in EMI's labels)

### Eminem

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (Eminem) ITTL has been notably less harsh towards people like ex-wife Kim Mathers as well as ex-girlfriend and singer Mariah Carey (whom he didn’t supposedly use voicemails of in his music), seldom making any references to harming them in any way in his music (if at all); he also wasn’t accused of assault by other rappers or by critics of his; despite still getting in several fueds and controversies (and also most likely still having some rather offensive lyrics), he is arguably a better person overall ITTL.

### Idris Elba, Tori Allen-Martin, and Sarah Henley

ITTL, the latter two didn’t call Elba out for supposedly discriminating against them by removing them from a stage play of his.

### Fergie and Justin Timberlake

Fergie and Justin supposedly never dated ITTL. (Regardless, both artists are still arguably rather notorious in one way or another)

### Gracie Abrams

ITTL, Gracie Abrams never made any sexualizing comments towards a then-no older than 14 Finn Wolfhard or any other people noticeably younger than her, be they on social media or not.

### James Brown

ITTL, James was arguably somewhat a better person who supposedly was less abusive and wasn’t at least said to be physically violent toward any of his wives (he is still believed to have gotten in a few arguments with at least one of them, though).

It is also believed that James was at least slightly less prone to drug abuse ITTL. (which might’ve resulted in him being supposedly less abusive towards his wives as stated above)

### Jay-Z

Shawn Corey Carter supposedly never stabbed record producer Lance Rivera back in 1999 ITTL. Also back in 1999, he supposedly wasn’t filmed striking on a woman, since how unlike IOTL, there is no footage of such in any concert films.

TBA

### Jennifer Lopez

Unlike IOTL, Jennifer Lopez never signed with Island Records, which happens to be owned by Robin IOTL. (there’s a chance that JLo might’ve been at least somewhat aware of Robin’s anti-cultural appropriation stance, which clashes in a way with her excessive use of elements from other cultures)

### Kenan Thompson

ITTL, Kenan wasn’t spotted with a 19-year-old Aria Lisslo, unlike IOTL.

### Kevin Hart

ITTL, Kevin Hart wasn’t accused of secretly recording consensual sex between him and a woman, so its highly likely that the 2017 incident never happened.

### Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were/are arguably better people ITTL; before the former’s death, the two didn’t get into a fight which led to Kurt being arrested for assaulting Courtney.

Also, Courtney supposedly didn’t touch the crotch of a male journalist without consent, and didn’t accuse Trent Reznor of systemic abuse, meaning that it likely didn't happen ITTL. Regardless, Robin doesn’t work with Courtney anymore due to there being other assault allegations, etc. against her, including such towards her daughter, Francis Bean Cobain.

### Lady Gaga

ITTL, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (Lady Gaga) is at least somewhat less appropriative and more appreciative of culture; the fate of her song "G\*psy" is unknown, but it’s highly unlikely that a song by her with such a name doesn’t exist ITTL; her *Artpop* era is perhaps considered the most different ITTL from OTL.

### Larry David

ITTL, Larry stayed quiet about Woody Allen in 2020 instead of defending him like he did IOTL. (Arguably, Larry is somewhat better of a person ITTL)

### Marilyn Manson

In 2001, after supposedly having assaulted security officer Joshua Keasler, Marilyn Manson was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artist.

(As an aside, 1. His 1998 memoir *The Long Hard Road Out of Hell* doesn’t include anything mentioning how he and Trent Reznor (who at least ITTL hasn’t been accused of any sort of abuse) sexually assaulted a heavily intoxicated woman, and 2. Manson would still be accused of sexual assault by several people other than Joshua Keasler (including Evan Rachel Wood) in 2021.)

### Mark Mothersbaugh

ITTL, Mark was never accused of verbal or fincancial abuse by a former nany of his (he is arguably a better person ITTL).

### Mia Goth

ITTL, Mia Goth is arguably a better person; she wouldn’t be accused of attacking anybody as of January 2024, unlike IOTL, where a background actor from *MaXXXine* accused her of kicking him in the head (supposedly by intention), and also taunting, mocking, and belittling him.

Also ITTL, Mia Goth didn’t get back together with Shia LaBeouf after he admitted to assaulting Tahliah Debrett Barnett (FKA Twigs).

### Nick Nolte

Unlike IOTL, Nick Nolte’s home doesn’t have a history of furnishing drugs and/or alcohol to minors; thus, the incident where somebody under the influence raped a drugged teenage girl at a party in Malibu didn’t happen.

### Paul McCartney, Heather Mills, and Linda McCartney

ITTL, Heather Mills didn’t claim he was abusive to either her nor Linda McCartney. (Paul might be a slightly better person ITTL)

### Paul Simon and Edie Brickell

ITTL, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell never got into the fight they got into back in 2014 that led to them both getting arrested.

### Paramount, Discovery, and Warner Bros.

(For a while now, I’ve been planning on having these three be one big company; more info should hopefully be added soon; I’m considering that only partially (say, a 50-75% stake, approximately) would Paramount own Discovery for at least a while after they even acquire a stake in it; Idk if or when they’d ever fully own it, but David Zaslav oughta stay with Discovery in some way while hopefully not affecting other assets negatively due to likely not becoming CEO of the whole corporation; this merger would happen sooner than the supposed future WBD-Paramount merger IOTL, and ITTL, Paramount would be the one to buy Warner Bros.)

By 2021 ITTL, Paramount, while still showing interest in streaming, had less of such than IOTL, which may or may not be the result of them not nearly having as many successful properties (notably lacking ownership of AwesomenessTV, one of whose founders was Brian Robbins, who by then was working for RKORobin ITTL (which Brian still works for as of 2023); also, ITTL, RKORobin owns AwesomenessTV, which still gets renamed to Awesomeness); as a result, Jim Gianopulos wasn’t ousted from the company in September. Paramount ended up being the studio to pick up Christopher Nolan’s *Oppenheimer* ITTL.

### Perez Hilton and Polo Molina

ITTL, Perez Hilton never accused Polo Molina (the operation manager of The Black Eyed Peas) of assault back in 2009 (it’s highly likely that the incident didn’t happen).

### Pierce Brosnan and Robert Rosen

Pierce Brosnan supposedly didn’t attack photographer Robert Rosen after being complimented by him, since there is no report of such an event happening ITTL (it’s highly likely that he still didn’t like the attention from him, though).

### Richie Sambora

Richie is a better person ITTL who wasn’t accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend around 2015.

### Rosie and Chelsea O'Donnell

Rosie is supposedly a better person to her daughter, Chelsea, ITTL, particularly due to the latter not accusing the former of any sort of abuse towards her (not even saying she came close to attacking her). It’s highly likely that ITTL, Chelsea never went missing from her home in Nyack, New York.

### Russell Simmons

ITTL, the Harriet Tubman sex tape controversy never happened due to Russel ultimately not posting the video (if he even made it ITTL).

After several women came out about him having sexually assaulted them, instead of simply stepping down from his role at Def Jam, Russel Simmons was fired from the Robin Corporation.

### Satoru Iwata

ITTL, Iwata didn't get bile duct cancer; thus, he didn't die in 2015 and still remains the President of REG Games Japan to this day.

### Sean Combs (P. Diddy)

ITTL, Sean Combs and two companions weren’t accused of assault towards Interscope Records executive and Nas manager Steve Stoute. Also, unlike IOTL, neither Combs nor his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez (who also is somewhat of a different person ITTL, as mentioned above) were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and of stolen property. Sean Combs’ bodyguards also supposedly didn’t injure a hip-hop promoter they were removing at Combs’ order.

Other legal troubles, etc. Sean got in still happened ITTL; Robin stopped working with Sean in 2015 after he allegedly assaulted a UCLA coach.

### Solar System Size

Our solar system and everything in it, including the planet earth, is quite larger ITTL than in OTL (due to the larger size of the sun and the planets, the planets of the solar system are farther from the sun; this results in their temperatures being approximately the same as in OTL). A lot of Earth's cities, towns, etc. in OTL still exist ITTL; several of them are the same size as in OTL, while others are larger (an example of the latter being the State of Virginia, with an added city being North James, between the counties of Goochland and Henrico); with that being the case, there's more room on Earth; thus, the Robinverse at least a few more places like continents, countries, states/provinces/territories, cities, towns, etc. (the latter two are most likely).

### Stephen King

ITTL, Stephen King (whose books are more often than not distributed by Robin), didn’t make a post saying that that Dylan Farrow spoke with an element of "palpable bitchery" in her open letter recounting the abuse she claimed to endure at the hands of Woody Allen.

### Stevie Wonder

Stevie is arguablysomewhat of a better person ITTL who has been sued less, unlike IOTL.

### Toxic Positivity

Various therapists, etc. became aware of the concept of toxic positivity (at least) in US society earlier ITTL than in OTL (the concept of such is believed to have been discovered in/near North James, Virginia). Only recently, though, has there been a notable increase in awareness (with several therapists, etc. arguing against its existence, etc. before then, with some still doing so to this day), as in OTL. (among the people who were aware of it before then are various notable people who’ve worked for Robin, including its CEOs, Presidents, etc.)

### Tupac Shakur

Shakur ITTL wasn’t accused of sodomizing a woman, as weren’t the two other people also accused.

### VivziePop

ITTL, Vivienne Medrano is arguably somewhat of a better person who didn’t post a number of her more controversial pieces of artwork posted online IOTL, including that of a character from her webcomic, *Zoophobia*, naked and covered in snakes, alongside another one of an adult character from said webcomic drooling over a minor. She also has been less supportive of controversial content creators such as Blaire White and shoe0nhead ITTL than IOTL, not calling their ability to speak their mind "admirable". Vivienne is also arguably a better person to work with ITTL (the Erin Frost incident didn’t happen, unlike IOTL).

(The reputation of VivziePop and her numerous series still isn’t necessarily too positive)

### Will Smith

ITTL, Will Smith never got his bodyguard Charles Alston to pummel record promoter William Hendricks back in 1989.

## Changes Confirmed to (Most Likely) Have Been Caused (for the Most Part) by the Robin Corporation

Something worthy of note is how the Robin Corporation is against cultural appropriation and (especially) allegations of inappropriate sexual activity (particularly domestic violence). The former, unless the person/group makes the appropriation a large part of their image (to which they’d have their main albums, etc. no longer be distributed by any Robin-owned record companies, though the artists are allowed to make guest appearances on other artists’ albums, to make appearances on MTV Unplugged, etc.), would be talked out of it; for the latter, there’s at least somewhat of high chance of the person accused instantly being dropped (particularly if the accused person is arguably in a more powerful position or if they’re trying to make their victim lose power (especially the latter)). (Of course, there are other things both the corporation and the Robin family are against; the two examples above are just some of the most notable ones; some other notable examples include being against vaccines, having prejudiced views (particularly against minorities), etc.)

### The 1975

After Matty Healy used George Floyd’s death to promote one of his band’s albums, Robin dropped him and the rest of The 1975 from their portfolio of artists, something they’ve been considering ever since they first heard of Healy’s controversial social media activity, etc.. Distribution was also dropped for their record label, Dirty Hit.

### 6ix9ine

Robin refused to release any works from 6ix9ine due to the rapper having engaged in sexual activity with a 13-year old.

### A24

While, A24 goes mostly unchanged under Robin, after the acquisition, they wouldn’t work with a number of people the Robin Corporation is against.

Also, under Robin, A24 never bid to make a biopic about Elon Musk (supposedly based off of a biography about him by Walter Isaacson, mentioned below), meaning that unlike IOTL, they don’t end up making said biopic ITTL.

### Andre Romell Young (Dr. Dre)

Dre didn’t assault television host Dee Barnes in 1991 (he has claimed in at least one interview that he has felt like doing such, but he managed to stop himself, at least partially due to a feeling that it wasn’t Dee’s fault that Ice Cube was allowed to mock the N.W.A.); however, he did assault numerous other women, such as Theresa Murphy (Tairrie B) and Michel'le (the former of the two was assaulted before Dee Barnes was IOTL, so it’s possible that another reason he didn’t assault her was due to secretly feeling internal guilt from assaulting Theresa); after hearing the latter accuse him of assault, Robin Records dropped both him and the distribution of his label, Aftermath Entertainment (which also stopped distribution of Eminem’s label, Shady Records); Robin didn’t find out about the former’s case until after the latter came out.

### Black Sabbath

After Lita Ford accused bassist Tony Iommi of sexual assault towards her in 2016, Robin dropped the band from their portfolio of artists.

### Budweiser Clydesdales

After finding out about the docking of the clydesdale horses’ tails, Robin forced Budweiser out of it (alongside other harmful methods of altering horses’ tails) and suggested they instead simply trim and either plait (albeit not permanently and/or too tightly-plaited) or bang their horses’ tails.

Aside from the tail-docking being done away with, the clydesdales have arguably been treated better in general ITTL under Robin/HoJoPepsi.

### Charlie Walk

Charlie Walk left Republic Records in 2018 much faster ITTL due to the Robin Corporation having fired him after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

### Chris Brown

Chris Brown would have no collaboration CDs, etc. released by Robin not long after he pleaded guilty of assaulting Rihanna.

### Chuck Berry

Under Robin, Decca (or any Robin-owned labels, for that matter) wouldn’t release his 2017 album *Chuck* (which is also his final one) due to there being several instances of late singer being accused of abuse.

### DaBaby

After finding out about Jonathan Kirk’s Homophobic remarks in 2021, DaBaby was permanently dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists.

### Def Leppard

Def Leppard wouldn’t become a part of Robin’s portfolio of artists upon the company’s acquisition of UMG, particularly due to drummer Rick Allen being charged with battery.

### Dr. Luke

After Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault, Robin refused to release any works made with his involvement from then on, something they’d been considering ever since they heard of him restricting Kesha’s control over her second album.

### Eric Clapton

Eric never became a part of Robin’s portfolio of artists due to Robin being fully aware of his racist "Keep Britain White" rant.

### Gold Bond Ice Cream, Jack & Jill Ice Cream, Isaly’s Klondike, and Good Humor

ITTL, Robin acquired both Gold Bond and Jack & Jill Ice Cream; thus, neither any of Gold Bond’s products (particularly the original Popsicle) Jack & Jill’s Choco Taco, nor Isaly’s Klondike Bar became a part of Unilever’s ice cream lineup.

The Choco Taco, now marketed separately from Jack & Jill, wasn’t discontinued under Robin; it currently comes in numerous different flavors (like with Klondike Bars both IOTL and ITTL), and it is still sold at numerous Taco Bell locations.

Also, ITTL, Good Humor is notably more like other divisions of Unilever’s Heartbrand, which seems to at least partially be the result of Unilever not owning the rights to the Popsicle brand, the Choco Taco, or the Klondike Bar.

ITTL, Glacierpoint Enterprises only bought a stake of Midlantic Vending; as a result, Sweet Summits (a brand owned by Glacierpoint IOTL that supposedly used to be Jack & Jill) doesn’t exist ITTL.

### Guns N’ Roses

Due to Robin being aware of the statutory rape charges received by members Axl Rose and Slash, among several inappropriate acts committed mainly by the former, neither Guns N’ Roses nor simply any member of the band would be given releases by Robin Records, with them being moved to another company by the time Robin acquired the Universal Music Group.

### Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani managed to be forced out of wearing bindis and bantu knots by Robin in the 1990’s.

On the other hand, not long after Gwen Stefani became a solo artist, she was dropped by Robin due to those at the corporation noticing several more instances of cultural appropriation as she worked on her first album, particularly revolving around the then-recently-introduced Harajuku Girls (who were mainly used to help Gwen promote the album). She has had albums released from both Sony and Warner since then.

### Hollywood Labor Disputes

TBA

(Robin CEO Jan Robin has said that she really doesn’t like just how greedy other CEOs can be; RKORobin also currently isn’t as interested in AI as other major studios (at least IOTL))

### Howard Johnson’s and Related Chains

Since Robin acquired Howard Johnson’s, TBA

### Jared Leto

ITTL, Robin doesn’t work with Jared Leto after first hearing of his alleged predatory behavior towards underage girls. (It helps that his band’s (Thirty Seconds to Mars) main record labels before 2012 were owned by EMI, which didn’t get acquired by Robin, unlike how UMG bought much of it IOTL)

### Johnny Depp, Hollywood Vampires, and the Depp-Heard Trials

Robin stopped working Johnny Depp after hearing of his 1989 charges of assault towards a security guard, neither he nor any of his bands would become a part of Robin’s portfolio of musical artists (anybody who joins a band he’s in would be dropped by Robin). Jan Robin, alongside various other members of her family, supported Amber Heard during both the UK trials and the Virginia trials; this may or may not have influenced public opinion. Despite this, due to both Depp being more popular and said man’s jury being manipulative, Depp still won the Virginia trials.

During the trials (mainly those in Virginia), numerous Depp supporters mocked Jan, her family, and even the whole Robin Corporation for the family’s support of Amber Heard; one way of doing so was by emphasizing "Turd" in the American Robin’s scientific name, *Turdus migratorius.* (The reason why American Robins have "*Turdus*" in their scientific name is because American Robins are technically Thrushes, with "*Turdus*" meaning Thrush)

### JoJo Siwa

Nickelodeon ITTL has clearly shown acceptance of JoJo Siwa coming out as homosexual.

Also, JoJo happens to be a better person who didn’t support Johnny Depp during the Virginia trials, which might’ve been a result of much of the Robin family’s support for Amber Heard. JoJo is also much less ableist ITTL (if she even is ableist at all).

JoJo also hasn’t defended worked with controversial figures such as James Charles, Shane Dawson, or Colleen Ballinger after they’d been exposed for bad things they have done.

It is unknown (mainly up to the creator) if the pregnancy prank happened ITTL.

### Josh Homme

After ex-wife Brody Dalle accused Josh Homme of abuse, Homme and all of his bands, including Queens of the Stone Age, were dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists. Jan Robin has shown a notable level of disapproval for Homme’s allegations of Dalle abusing him, under the belief that he was using "D.A.R.V.O.". (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender)

### Justin Bieber

While Justin Bieber still has a long string of controversies, being accused of sexual assault (or any sort of physical assault) in the past is not among them ITTL as of Mid-August 2023. Justin Bieber still has records released by Robin. Also, those at Robin got upset with Justin Bieber for sporting cornrows in 2016 and had to talk it out with him so he wouldn’t do such a thing again. Thus, he didn’t sport dreadlocks either later that year or in 2021.

Overall, in spite of the controversies, Justin Bieber is arguably somewhat of a better person under Robin.

### Kanye West

From the 2009 Music Video Awards up to his controversial 2018 tweet regarding his view on slavery, Robin kept a close eye on Kanye West’s actions; in mid-late May 2018, Robin announced to the public that they were officially done with Kanye, no longer distributing any records from him or his company (GOOD Music).

### KISS

After Gene Simmons made a controversial comment about Depression in 2014, he and his band KISS were dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists.

### Kodak Black

Kodak Black never became a part of Robin’s portfolio of artists due to Robin being aware of his various legal issues, including those related to him being a convicted rapist.

### *Legends of the Hidden Temple*

ITTL, the show’s sentinel guards were compensated better and weren’t allowed to keep the children they captured, unlike IOTL.

### Lionsgate

Since Devastudios did a logo for RKO Pictures that came out in 2009 ITTL (with clouds around the earth and all), the 2013 Lionsgate logo is different in that there aren’t any clouds surrounding Earth (clouds are still shown towards the end of the logo around the Lionsgate text, as are the nebulae still visible in deeper space).

### Logos for Pepsi

ITTL, the logo we received in 2008 IOTL didn’t come to fruition. While the one we’d receive in 2023 would come to fruition, it’d be slightly different from IOTL in that the cut in the I lines up better with the top-right end of the S.

### Mannheim Steamroller/American Gramaphone

After touring drummer/percussionist Logan Penington was charged with three felony counts of possession of child pornography, Robin had American Gramaphone fire him from Mannheim Steamroller and replace him with another drummer/percussionist.

### Michael Jackson and MJJ Productions

From around the mid-late 1980’s up to the early 1990’s, content from MJJ Productions was distributed by Robin; distribution was dropped after then-13-year-old Jordan Chandler and his father Evan’s allegations of Michael Jackson of abusing Jordan were made public. (His sponsorship deal with Pepsi also ended a few months earlier than IOTL as a result)

A number of the Robin family’s members, including then-CEO John and his daughter Jan (who is Robin’s current CEO) have shown that they believe Michael Jackson’s supposed victims and that they find it weird how obsessed he was with children and childhood during much of his lifetime.

### Mike Gordon

ITTL, the Phish bassist never got arrested for supposed child endangerment (which most likely didn’t happen) back in 2003, unlike IOTL.

### Miramax

ITTL, Robin (particularly its film division, RKORobin) acquired the stake that Paramount IOTL acquired in 2019-20. (Said stake would be acquired around the same time ITTL as IOTL) As a result, the current byline for Miramax's onscreen logo(s) reads "A beIN MEDIA GROUP & RKOROBIN COMPANY". (as of right now, Miramax is the only company to have an onscreen logo that features a byline containing the RKORobin name; this is due to the fact that no other RKORobin companies' onscreen logos haven't had any bylines) Robin also acquired a minority stake in the Spyglass Media Group, which holds the rights to make movies based off of/adapting Weinstein-era Miramax movies.

Also, regarding the *Scream* franchise (which was distributed by RKO Pictures ITTL instead of Paramount Pictures);

1. Neve Campbell and other actors were paid better under Robin; thus, Neve didn’t decline to star in *Scream VI* and future films.
2. Melissa Barrera wasn’t fired for her support of Palestine, at least partially due to several people at Robin (including the Robins themselves) also supporting Palestine and not seeing her as antisemetic for what she’s posted online.
3. As a possible result of the above, Jenna Ortega would still appear in *Scream VII*, in spite of scheduling conflicts; she also was paid better under Robin.
4. As a result of the above reasons, the franchise never went in a different direction after *Scream VII*.

### Mötley Crüe

The Mötley label wouldn’t be distributed by Robin records after hearing of Tommy Lee having kicked his then-wife Pamela Anderson in 1998.

### MTV

Under Robin, modern-day MTV is more music-focused than IOTL; a lot of the network’s non-music-related shows aired on Mutual X/Xtra ITTL. (As an aside, no performance of Britney Spears had its footage edited to make Britney appear slicker)

Also, after they’re exposed, MTV doesn’t platform any alleged predators.

### Nelly

Nelly having been accused of rape in 2017 has lead to the artist being dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists.

### Nick Carter

Nick Carter (alongside his group, the Backstreet Boys) was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists in late October-early November 2017 after a police investigation of him having supposedly raped a 20-year old fan in 2006 was made public (this was the first of several instances of information of him supposedly raping someone was made available to the public).

### O'Shea Jackson Sr. (Ice Cube)

In 2015, not long after hearing of Jackson Sr. ordering the assault of a Rabbi, Robin dropped both him and the distribution of his label, Lench Mob Records.

### Pepsi

* Handel Gothic is kept as the logo’s font in logos from 2003 to 2023.
* The globe’s basic design wasn’t changed in 2008.
* For the logo introduced in 2023, the diagonal part at the top of the I aligns better with the S next to it.

### Rights to the *King Kong* Franchise

After Robin acquired RKO Pictures, the company settled a deal with franchise creator Merian C. Cooper (who is arguably somewhat of a better person ITTL) to acquire the rights to the *King Kong* franchise instead of having media for said franchise be made without his consent. Robin still owns the franchise’s rights to this day. (several adaptations of the original story technically aren’t part of the franchise, though)

### RKO Pictures

#### Logos

* The original "globe and transmitter" logo was reshot in full color with higher quality effects (the electric bolts now glow (thanks to the practice of underlighting in animation) and sync up with the morse code beeps) in 1960, with the text now reading "An RKO Picture" in a modified (most notably non-italic) version of the lightning bolt font, (this'd carry on to future logos), and the morse code correspondingly saying "VVVV AN RKO PICTURE VVVVV".
* The logo was once again reshot in 1989, with a more detailed globe and a new transmitter that resembles what would be introduced in 1996 IOTL (with the beacon up top shining notably brighter than proceeding logos). The electric bolt effects were dropped from this logo up to the logo from 2009 (this was not because RKO wanted to prevent confusion with the logo of then-recently established Commercial Pictures; the timing was just a complete coincidence). Like the logo from 1992 IOTL, "RKO" (in the previous logo’s font, albeit this time with the letters closer together and the K being lower than the other two letters; this would also apply to later logos) appears letter for letter (except it’s above the tower at a point where it’s not covering it, and the text doesn’t move a smidge to the right towards the end), and the word "PICTURES" zooms out (albeit in Futura). Also, from this logo onwards, new morse code beeps (which sound at a higher pitch (approximately 1045 HZ) than most preceding versions of the RKO morse code) are used, saying "VVVRKOPICTURESVVVVV" (in a way, they’re somewhat reminiscent of the original morse code from 1929; however, the beeps ITTL sound at around 1045 HZ as opposed to the lower 890 HZ of OTL).

##### 1996 Logo

RKO Pictures received a CGI version of their logo in 1996 due to RKO wanting to walk in the footsteps of other large studios (Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc.) and to show the capabilities of CGI over model work (a panning shot around the transmitter would arguably be a lot harder with models).

The logo RKO Pictures received in 1996 ITTL (still animated by Studio Productions/Flip Your Lid Animation; however, it’s rumored that ITTL, Studio Productions/Flip Your Lid was joined by Robin’s own CGI/VFX department, who is believed to have helped with modeling the transmitter, which is arguably more detailed ITTL than IOTL, quite possibly the result of a partnership) is near identical to the one they got IOTL, though with some notable differences.

* The beacon atop the transmitter is (barely) visible beyond just the light produced by it.
* If one looks closely, they could see that the red strobe lights below the spire are being emitted from properly-modeled small beacons instead of just what appears to be red rectangles.
* There is still a building underneath the transmitter.
* The RKO text, again, uses the modified lightning bolt font from the 1960 logo.
* Different versions for different aspect ratios exist; thus, for films shot in scope (and other similar aspect ratios), the globe isn’t at least partially obscured.

These differences are carried on to the logo mentioned below.

(as an aside, the most common variation seen ITTL has the thick clouds of the version seen more often IOTL on films such as *Holiday Affair* (1996) and *Are We Done Yet?* (2007) shown around the beginning, albeit with some of the thin clouds seen on films like *Mighty Joe Young* (1998) trailing behind them; this variation also has a color palette that highly resembles that of the version seen on the latter (*Mighty Joe Young*) of the three aforementioned movies, albeit quite possibly at least slightly darker and more blue; the stars also become brighter and more visible around the end)

##### 2009 Logo

The company received a new opening logo in 2009; in a way, it is essentially a remastered version of the 1996 logo (with CGI by Devastudios; it is once again rumored that Robin’s own CGI/VFX department helped with this), but with several differences.

* The fanfare has a larger orchestration (most notably with more percussion instruments and a new horn countermelody) and is now in Db Major instead of Eb Major.
* There is also an added quiet "space-like" ambient pad that harmonizes with the fanfare or whatever music is playing; if no music, there’s a chance that the pad might still be heard harmonizing with the fanfare (this isn’t always the case).
* There is no red in the sky, only black and deep blue.
* There are now more clouds, most of which drift away from the globe and transmitter as we zoom out.
* The colors of the globe highly resemble those of the actual planet earth (except possibly slightly darker and/or less saturated if they even were any different).
* The halogen-like pulse of the beacon atop the transmitter is combined with a strobe effect that syncs with the morse code (the beacon is also now two-layered, with the top half being the pulsing light while the bottom half contains the strobe).
* Electric bolts can be seen around the beacon at the top of the transmitter as it transmits; one of the bolts forms the outlines to the RKO letters; the red inside of the letters fades in with a screen effect.
* Like previous logos, the "RKO" text uses the modified lightning bolt font from 1960.
* Like the logo they received in 1989 ITTL, the word "PICTURES" zooms out into its place.
* The outlines of the RKO letters shine letter by letter from left to right around the point where the morse code would usually be saying "RKO"; the PICTURES text shines after it’s finished zooming out, to which by then the morse code would usually be saying "PICTURES".
* For this logo, there is a subtle ambience including the sounds of radio waves and very quiet electric noises for the electric bolts (heard better as they form the outlines to the RKO letters) underneath the music and the morse code beeps; on some movies, the logo has no music; thus, the ambience is heard better here.

As a side note, unlike IOTL, RKO kept the original electric bolt font for their 2009 logo; an identical font to the 2009 logo IOTL (which was mainly used for print, etc.) was used for Shockwave, RKORobin’s streaming service.

### Robin Thicke

Come late 2012-early 2013 (around the time Thicke’s sixth album was being recorded), Robin Records refused to release/distribute any works of Thicke’s, particularly due to several people from the Robin Corporation taking note of "Blurred Lines"’ supposed glorification of rape culture; as a result, works of his from them on were mainly released by labels of Sony Music Entertainment. Due to Robin’s ownership of MTV, Thicke didn’t perform at the MTV Music Video Awards with Miley Cyrus that year.

### *RuPaul’s Drag Race*

Under Robin, producers on the Logo TV series *RuPaul’s Drag Race* treat contestants, etc. better and pay them well (the latter was specifically at Robin’s request). As a result, Yvie Oddly never called them out for being "capitalist culture thieves" ITTL. (This arguably also goes for a number of other shows under Robin)

RuPaul also takes gender more seriously ITTL.

### Ryan Adams

After having heard allegations of sexual misconduct he has supposedly committed, Ryan was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists.

### R. Kelly

ITTL, Interscope wouldn’t be one to distribute R. Kelly’s label, Rockland Records, at least partially due to Robin being aware of his controversies, particularly Aaliyah having filed a lawsuit in 1997 regarding his illegal marriage to her.

Also, neither of R. Kelly’s two collaboration albums with Jay-Z nor any other artists’ collaborations with him would distributed by Interscope or any other Robin Records labels.

### Sam Levinson and Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd)

Not long after Robin finished their acquisition of A24, when Robin noticed that *The Idol* had strained far from its original intent ever since its original director, Amy Seimitz, left production, to the point of the show having turned into "a rape fantasy", Robin ceased to work with both Sam and Abel. Production of *The Idol* was cancelled, as was it for Levinson’s other show, *Euphoria*. Robin dropped The Weeknd from its portfolio of artists, with his label, XO, being dropped as well; Tesfaye has since had his music released by labels owned by Warner Music Group.

### Sex Pistols

No Robin-owned record label has ever distributed the music of Sex Pistols, including those that at least might’ve IOTL.

### SodaStream

ITTL, not long after HoJoPepsi acquired SodaStream, all Israeli SodaStream business operations (including HQ and factories) were moved out of Israel.

### Sting

Sting was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists in 2020, not long after the corporation found out about a woman having been raped by him back in 1979 when she was 15. On a side note, the 2021 MTV Studios logo does not sample Sting's vocals from "Money for Nothing", leaving just the underscore, with an added synth playing the notes originally sung by him.

### Strauss Group

ITTL, HoJoPepsi didn’t enter a joint venture partnership with Strauss Group for Sabra hummus, unlike how PepsiCo did IOTL.

### Technology-Related Brands Acquired by Yum! Brands IOTL

Heartstyles (an omnichannel training company), TicTuk Technologies (an Israeli omnichannel ordering and marketing solutions provider, Kvantum Inc. (an artificial intelligence-based consumer insights and marketing technology company), and Dragontail Systems (an Australian kitchen order management and delivery technology company) weren’t purchased by HoJoPepsi or any other Robin-related companies ITTL

### Till Lindemann

After hearing of Till being accused sexual assault, all of his bands (most notably Rammstein) were dropped from Robin's portfolio of artists.

### Tory Lanez

Tory Lanez was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists not long after the people at the corporation found out about him allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

### Van Morison

Van was dropped from Robin’s portfolio of artists after hearing that he wrote Eric Clapton’s anti-lockdown protest song "Stand and Deliver".

### Walter Isaacson

Robin stopped having Walter’s books be published by Simon & Schuster (alongside other Robin-owned labels) after they found out that he was writing a biography about Elon Musk that arguably seems to paint him in at least a little "too positive" of a light.

More changes to be announced
