is that true? is that the same guy who threatened to kill Brianna Wu? lmao

yes, and Wu recently spent time/money to get a real life restraining order on Jace even though he is a fictional person.

quote:

5 Feburary 2015. A judge granted Brianna Wu a temporary restraining order against the man that made videos threatening to murder him. What Wu forgot was that 100 yards was nothing; The Commander can hit a one-inch diameter target at a range of 200 yards with his Deagle provided he is sufficiently blazed to steady his aim. The US Marine SEALs didn't send the man to sniper school for nothing.

In other news, Sam did an interview about this ordeal with loving Buzzfeed of all places. As expected, they took this stupid internet thing 100% seriously:

quote:

“Jace Connors” is in fact Jan Rankowski, a 20-year-old living in Maine who is affiliated with Million Dollar Extreme, a provocative cult comedy group based in Rhode Island, and far from being the archfiend of GamerGate, Rankowski is himself now the subject of a campaign of harassment.
...
“They realized I was making fun of them with those videos,” Rankowski said. “I started it as a joke, but it’s become far too real and I wish I could take it all back.”
...
And then the phone calls started. “People have been calling my old high school calling my work,” Rankowski told BuzzFeed News, “and saying these nasty things about me. I was made to sign a contract at my job saying I wouldn’t make any of these videos again. I received a letter in the mail with a picture of me from my high school yearbook… It said I shouldn’t have hosed with 8chan.”
...
Hyde told BuzzFeed News that over the past two days he has also been harassed. “Some kid stood outside my window throwing pebbles. And someone knocked on my door — it’s a closed apartment, you shouldn’t be able to get in. And then there was no one there.”
...
“Part of the humor of MDE is pushing the boundaries, but we’ve never encountered actually being afraid for our own safety,” Rankowski told BuzzFeed News. “This has ruined my life.”
...
“I didn’t take this situation seriously, but I see what it means now to be in the other person’s shoes. What her life must feel like. I have this newfound respect for the people who are having to deal with GamerGate, Brianna Wu and Anita [Sarkeesian].”
...
It’s chastened not just Rankowski, but also Hyde, the Million Dollar Extreme impresario.
“My aim right now is to calm these people down,” Hyde said. “I’ve learned my lesson.”

DEFEND YOURSELF: SAM HYDE OF MILLION DOLLAR EXTREME
Posted on April 11, 2013 by EMILY RESNEVIC Email
samhydepic
Sam Hyde is a lauded member of the YouTube comedy group Million Dollar Extreme, known most prominently for being “actually funny.” Hyde spoke to the Dig about hipsters, weed, and masturbation.


Alright, Sam Hyde. I’m going to say a word. And you just say whatever comes to mind. OK? “Hipster.”

Washed up wannabe douches.

Corporate sell-outs to the max! Drink expensive coffee more, dude.

Well said. I was curious what you’d come up with for that because I’m into your
“Williamsburg Street Fashion” videos the most. Can you make more?


Well, even though it seems like there’s no end to these too-cool-for-school people out there, I think the whole thing is kinda just wack at this point. Like, we’re so over this whole thing.

Got some stuff going through right now with Maker Studios, SXSW, some other very cool peeps who are asking us to flex our video muscle … Nothing set in stone yet but yeah, we’re over hipsters!

Fair enough. The whole idea of making fun of hipsters was getting kind of hipster itself, eh?

Yeah, abso-fruit-ly.

So what do you have planned coming up?

The main thing right now for us just getting hooked up with some of the other top YouTubers.

We’ve been talking to a bunch of people who all love our style, they basically see it as cutting-edge-as-gently caress and they want to mix a little bit of that with their videos.

Epic Mealtime, among others, I mean they’re kinda whack too but we’re gonna do something big man. Gonna own this city (YouHollywood)!

Yeah—it’s unique, for sure, the style of your videos I’ve seen so far. I’m curious about your vision when you started and where you want to take it.

I think we always just wanted to be the biggest baddest comedy show in town… You know, show these Goldsteins what’s up, take a big ol’ crap in this played out hipster party and kinda just be like known as paragons of “cool” I guess. Cool is kinda an abstract word but it’s a very real thing and I think that’s what we try to bring to the table, in our own sort of detached ironic way.

Would you say it’s probably best enjoyed whilst stoned?

(Laughs) Absolutely. I kinda feel like if you didn’t watch it stoned, it would just be so hyper and off-the-walls you’d just be all like, “Wha–?” (Laughs)

So yes, definitely stoned, ’cause that’s what we are when we’re makin’ it.

So … we’re doing this interview at 11 p.m. since your sleep schedule’s been “all hosed up lately.” What’s up with that?

Well I have a bit of a sexual problem where I will edge myself for like two to eight hours at a time and it’s truly compulsive. Like, I know it’s horrible, but I can’t stop. So I’ll hit the sack at midnight and next thing I know it’ll be 10 a.m. and I’m still doing it. Crazy right?

Feel free to tell people that. I decided early on to let that type of poo poo be known so that others who have problems too can identify. No joke.

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
MDE is just a really dedicated guy. He's arguably up there with the GNAA in terms of dedication. Maybe he's a member of the GNAA. Maybe Sam Hyde is the GNAA's latest injection into the human psyche. :iiam:
