For anyone who isn't enjoying this conversation I suggest you watch Mike Jeavons some more. This week he's doing the military diet, which while probably not great for someone outside the military definitely seems like a step up from his Tesco diet week.

Make a paper mache effigy and do this every year at Pax. At registration you should be required to throw a rock at it before entering. The wee children will ask why we do this arcane ritual and a wizened and most definitely revered elder Internet Personality will come forward and relate the tale of the demon.

I’m so impressed by Maggie Mae Fish, how tightly written and cut all her stuff is and how she can move at big ideas from such a weird sideways angle and make it work so well, but what impressed me most is that her youtube comments are 100% chud-free even after hitting daddy Peterson and calling Burton trash.

Is there like a service you can hire to moderate your comments, or is she just watching her comment fields for a few days after publishing as part of making a good first impression?

Deal with it.
I know that Michael Swaim has a channel called Small Beans where he's talked a lot about his time on Cracked and to other Cracked employees like Daniel O'Brien and Katy Stoll before the site started to flounder. There's also his newer skits and stuff.

Some of the stuff he talks about in the podcasts is very rough to listen to since there's a lot of talk about addiction and seeing your job evaporate before your eyes.

I keep thinking about my friend from college who teaches renaissance literature and how she told me the chuds have ruined any possibility of a productive classroom discussion of cuckoldry. They will pay for this one day.

Small Beans is actually a fledgling network with podcasts from a lot of your cracked video faves. Maggie Mae Fish is supposed to start one there soon as well. They have a patreon and are saving up for cameras and a space to rent for doing regular videos again.

Also nice to see people bring up Doug for no seeming reason other than "boo hiss Doug bad". Like, if he had put his foot in his mouth I'd get it, but oh no, he's on a convention badge! Why?

Because he's an internet personality, people have opinions on his work(that it sucks) and they share those opinions on the internet personality discussion thread. Why do you care?

I'm watching her castigate Tim Burton's Ed Wood movie right now and all I can think about is how it's one of Doug Walker's favorite movies of all time. :ironicat:

So he told a non-pc joke once and he’s now guilty of “spewing hate speech”?

The amount of hate I’ve seen directed at him, especially since his death, is far in excess of what he deserved for his very, very minor role in gg. People are even calling him a leader of the group, which is laughable on multiple levels (as if a swarm of piranhas could even be said to have a leader). The guy made a few nasty comments once in a while including that oft-quoted tweet from years ago about cancer, so he was no saint, but he never advocated harassment. As those tweets by Laura Kate Dale showed, he was actually working to oppose online hate and undo whatever harm he may have caused.

totalbiscuit wasn't that bad, i mean all he did was act as an important person during the whole gg debacle, punch down on vulnerable groups, make excuses for what his fans and ggers did, contribute to the increasing partisan insanity that is internet discourse, embolden bigots, give a screen for GG to defend itself, wish cancer on people i mean appart from his entire legacy, he didn't do anything bad

Hmm yes pointing out someones flaws = sociopathy

I look forward to being called a psycho when Sarkeesian passes away, after pointing out criticism of her

It's so messed up that some people can't even acknowledge that he hosed up with his support of gg and his subsequent actions and i don't even believe he was the worst, or among the worst but he had his part to play and to ignore it is literal whitewashing, poo poo man he was a flawed human being and apparently pointing that out is enough to merit people diagnosing you as a sociopath, same with acknowledging his actions and words had negative conequences and led to people and groups being hurt, intentionally or otherwise

like imagine if bob chipman died and people starting glossing over his support of eugenics, how insane would that be

Death isn't a shield that stops or protects against all criticism, nor should it be, s.ame with his memory.

His wife and family should be left alone, but that's it.

Another genuinely awful thing is the idea that dying and having a family are somehow exceptional circumstances which place a person's legacy beyond reproach.

God forbid anything in the world actually matter beyond Youtuber tribalism.
