A few years ago Holly posted a video where she introduced all of her birds to fellow bird-lover, JonTron. So I guess the lesson is never trust someone with a bird. Anyone have a good summary of what exactly has happened so far?

Only trust herpers not birders.  basicaly projared said he was getting a divorce and how it was sad and how no one should make rumors. then his ex wife said he blocked her and told everyone he had cheated and alot of other abusive poo poo. holly gets called out too. then everyone turns on projared as nudes appear and horror stories coming out.

Then came the allegations of grooming underage fans, and the latest is actual screenshots of chat logs from a (now/then?) 15-year-old girl who is currently trying to get the authorities involved without bringing her family into it. Things are not going to end well for ProJared.

He then blocks her so she can't respond to it, his goal is to make her sound crazy and get ahead of the game -Holly Conrad, Ross's ex leaves a message *instantly* saying "I'll be here for you stay strong <3" -Jared's wife Heidi reveals that she was blocked, had no idea what he was saying, and that she has had enough. -Heidi then says Jared has been having sex with Holly for a long time and is a cheater, and a abuser. Says she has proof but doesn't post any of it. -PeanutButterGamer (who) rushes in to defend Jared with posts equating to "you just posted cringe bro" -Heidi then makes a call for other people to post horror stories of Jared, and people do. Dick pics, stories about him grooming minors etc surface. -Game Grumps and a few other channels delete all ProJared Videos -Holly calls Heidi a lying bitch and gets blown up instantly. Locks her twitter after making a post that basically confirms everything. -Jared pretends nothing bad is going on still, PBG apologizes to Heidi saying he just didn't want to believe his friend was this terrible. Normal Boots, Jareds studio kicks him but their wording in their announcement make it sound like they've known about his poo poo for awhile and chose to do nothing. -16 year old Trans victim comes out with a story about Jared coming after him. Gets collaborated on with proof from his friend who was also getting groomed- Jared was apparently telling people that him and Heidi were in a open relationship to get what he wanted -Now a 15 year old was found to be on Jareds list, said person is now contacting the feds to get Jared arrested. I think that's everything?

SkeletonHero posted:That’s Mark Millar’s output in a nutshell. I picked up Wanted and it was such tryhard poo poo that it actually turned me off comics in general for a bit. I'm reasonably sure that it got started with the whole "What if there was a golem made of the poo poo if actual serial killers???" and the rest was just edgy filler. I didn't even know who Millar was at the time. Then years later at a store I opened a random issue and it was about some edgy antihero who kidnapped the son and daughter of his normie enemy and used the son's sperm to impregnate the daughter and also rigged a bomb in her womb if they tried to abort it, and I just looked at the author's name, laughed and put it down like it was made of poison ivy.

I kind of like birds (in the wild, and seeing other people's pet birrds; I don't want to have any of my own), and yet I've managed to both not have sex with ProJared and not make friends with JonTron.

That's Nemesis, which is bad but still not as bad as The Unfunnies which Millar tries to pretend doesn't exist. What's funny is that the stuff people criticised about Kingsman was entirely an invention of the movie, with Millar's book being noticeably tamer.

Ghostlight posted:The movie imo is even worse because it takes Kick-rear end' side. In the comic his Nice Guy crap toward the love interest gets him rightfully beat up by her boyfriend and humiliated by her. In the movie it gets him the girl. The heroes in the comic (first run at least) are all portrayed as broken people in a broken world, whereas the movie paints them as, well, heroic. The film really struggles with an identity crisis, and ends up trying to have it both ways, to it's own detriment. Like, it spends the first half making GBS threads on Spider-Man, and then totally embraces it at the 2/3 point, compromising it's own identity. The less said about the sequel, the better.

Max Wilco posted:I remember looking both those up when Linkara mentioned them in one of his reviews, and the summaries were just Holy poo poo, you weren't kidding. Millar feels like he never got past that 17-year-old grimdork phase. "Like, what if Superman had to recharge his powers by raping nuns? And a big meteor was coming toward Earth? Or, or, maybe there's this universe in which all villains were hero sidekicks that got sexually abused and now they are coming back to do Jigsaw-style traps for their former mentors! This is the real poo poo we're talking about here, man!" It just tires me out instantly, and always has. I like lots of Garth Ennis' stuff, while gladly admitting he can be quite poo poo. But most of his work, silly or edgelord as it can be, has heart. Even Crossed, which bummed me out a fair bit after reading it, had some genuinely touching moments. And his arc about sex traffickers in his Punisher run, while relentlessly grim, actual pathos behind it, showed research on the subject and never once cheapened it, which was impressive given the genre. The closing words from that series never fail to send a shiver down my spine. Actual talented people can slip, but when they are good, they are very good. Dumb jokes like Millar are usually trite and sleazy, and even when they manage to keep from being their poo poo selves, they barely manage to reach mediocre status.

I never read the Boys because the artwork looked atrocious and the tone was off-putting, but I did enjoy Ennis' Punisher Max series. Anything that flings venom at the irish-american support of the IRA wins points for me. What has Millar done except make short comics as fodder for movies?

The talk about Wanted earlier made me realize Danny Elfman recycled the theme he and Russel Shaw made for the first Fable Game and tweaked it to make the Wanted main theme.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:-PeanutButterGamer (who) rushes in to defend Jared with posts equating to "you just posted cringe bro" I think these three points need correcting. - PBG and Furst, another NB person, were both defending Jared at first. After some time they apologized. Apparently they didn't know and only had Jared's (duplicitous) side of the story. - GG was deleting Jared videos apparently as early as the beginning of April, which lines up with the time NormalBoots received their anonymous letter. Since GG didn't employ Jared, I assume they didn't feel the need to do an investigation. - NB's statement reads like only the head manager, the law team, and Jared himself knew about the anonymous tip they got in early April. NB was doing an investigation and preparing to sever with Jared anyway (obviously that could be a feint, but it would be a pretty bad one and easily refutable). That said, if Jared knew about the allegation why would he post the original tweet about his divorce? What a loving idiot. I wish I had half as many viewers as he threw away by being a pedophile shitbag.

He's an egocentric moron who thought he could get away with it by presenting himself as the better man if he got ahead of things coming out and controlled the narrative. And then Heidi nuked that little scheme into the ground. It wouldn't have worked anyway, but it probably kicked off a lot faster and a lot bigger.

I got the impression that Heidi wouldn't have even cared if it wasn't for Holly responding right after Jared about being there for him. The whole thing between those two making public statements seemed to have been planned making it even more hilarious. Holly is a big streamer as well but threw all of that away by opening her mouth when she didn't have to.
