Stop calling the bad cheating pedophile man ugly :(

Dude runs an entire group to swap nudes with fans, goes after underage fans, lies and cheats, but the thing y'all feel the need to talk about is, of course, that he's kind of unfortunate-looking.

Also, would the cheating and abuse have been okay if he were hot, or if Heidi were ugly? Because that's kind of what that argument implies.

yea dude because there's nothing funny about him sliding into childrens' dms hoping to gently caress some kids, but it is very funny that he's a goddamn bird with an elf cosplaying wife and he thought 'I gotta gently caress this up by being a sociopath'.

Like, you get no one genuinely thinks the worst thing about this is Professional Jared looks like a goober, right? You get that we're just making jokes about the only part of him and Holly being loving psychos that's actually fun to talk about?

As far as I'm concerned, if do the kind of poo poo ProJared or any number of these Youtubers have done then you deserve all the mockery you get in response.

wait what? then she isn't asexual. jesus christ, i honestly hate when these clowns hide behind others sexuality for either excuses or to look unique.

I'm breaking my ninja oath to never actually post in this thread but asexual just means you don't experience sexual attraction, it doesn't mean you don't like having romantic partners or even that you don't enjoy sex. Supposedly (from what i remember of reading the poo poo last night) a small part of what catalyzed the whole mess was she freaked out about being attracted to someone for the first time, which I mean fine, because sexuality is a fluid and fickle thing and there are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy way way way better things to criticise holly for than that

Yes, again, people who are asexual still engage in romantic and sexual relationships. I'm not sure "let's all misunderstand someone else's sexuality" is a very productive route to take this conversation when "the lady probably cheated on her husband with definitely her friend's husband" and "the guy is ugly" are still right there

You're absolutely correct and I was trying to be facetious but sorry if it didn't come out that way. Like I said in the first post the point I'm trying to make is if you wanna grill holly there are much more appropriate things to do so over than what sexuality she identifies as.

I can see when you are lying.

Makes you wonder how many people are supporting Heidi not necessarily because she has the most consistent story of the bunch but because she's the most conventionally attractive of the bunch. I can't imagine it's no one.

3 and 4 with some more confidence about when the show was going to end would be great.
1 and 2 where very flawed but much like GoT I can see what they where going for.

Yeah. I like Lindsay's video essay format. So much of youtube is 'Self-indulgent intro, faffing about for five minutes while you explain what the video is going to be about, usually in the form of a question, then an excruciating ten minutes analyzing the question, then the point of the video in the last two.' Universally garbage.

I'm a dum-dum so I don't really do a lot of movie analyzing normally. But I stumbled onto a Cinema Wins video and thought it was pretty cool since it also pointed out a lot of the bits I didn't really notice or think about. Like how John was waiting to hear his magazine fall before he launched an attack or how breaking through the concrete to get his assassin gear out could be described like he was breaking through the foundation of his new life back into the old one.

Cinema wins is pretty nice but there was one episode where they were like "did you have to make the ring wing guy sooo evil" in a very out of place both sidesy way that threw me off, I'll try and find it tomorrow.

Yeah there was the one comment where he was like 'remember when we could make jokes without someone getting offended/triggered/mad about it? ah well' but it was like a two year old video so I just kinda shrugged and tallied that one on the 'Weird comment but alright dude' wall.

New Sarah Z about musical bootlegging!

It's an interesting piece, and I agree with a solid portion of it.

Falsettos is probably my favorite proshot musical, though.

Seriously, these bootlegs are a godsend. I got into Hedwing and the Angry inch thanks to another goon here, found out there was a Broadway revival of it thats already done and I wanted to see it.

Because, yeah. Most of these shows never get any kind of DVD recording or release or anything. Like, how many people are fans of Hamilton but never actually saw the play because not enough money.

The way I remember it being told, Burch pressured his wife into having an open relationship as way for him to try and score with other women, and it ended up backfiring where he struck out, but she ended up dating a few people. Somehow, details of that got out online, though I don't know if it came from him or someone else (I'm not really interested in trying to find out, either).

I've been under the impression that Burch's antics, and the subsequent mockery of it was part of the reason why 'cuckoldry' entered (or re-entered, possibly) the modern vernacular as an insult.

FoldableHuman posted:

He also wrote substantially less of Borderlands 2 than he makes it sound, because if you're a general creep you're probably also totally okay jacking credit for your co-workers' work.

Well, that just proves Burch is an idiot, because anyone with an iota of common sense would not want Borderlands 2: Adventures in Meme Land anywhere on their resume when applying as a writer.

Burch is ground zero for "cuck" being a put-down in the chudosphere, I guarantee it.

I thought it was just a "failed" open relationship. I had no idea he pressured his wife. In fact, how do we know this is true?

All I recall is that in one of the earlier iterations of this thread (or possibly another thread on SA entirely), the discussion came up, and someone had made it sound like Burch had goaded her into it, rather than it being something they decided on mutually.

It might have been like you said; it was just a "failed" open relationship, and that post was just hearsay.
