He crash landed here on SA a few years back and tried to sandcastle an LP then was laughed off the forums when he had a full on rager meltdown after being told by a couple of folks to tone down the rape jokes in it a little.

well, after that downer, I feel that this is just the right kind of upper briana white, aerith's VA for FF7 remake, played through the game, and I recently got to the Honeybee Inn part of her archives. I love how all out they went for that sequence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpGb5DO5hQ&hd=1 "surely they'll never put the cloud crossdressing sequence into the remake" *square makes it one of the most lavishly animated, bombastic sequences in the entire game*

also he made this huge video crying about how he wanted to get better and not be the edgy shock jock and the next video he said it was all a joke and basically saying that caring about others makes you a [homophobic slur] obviously not as bad as the sexual assault but gently caress that guy forever

You want ultimate irony? Before anyone knew who he was, LordKat posted on Spoony's forums, wherein he went on a tirade against Slowebeef and Diabetus' Retsupurae for being cyberbullying. And when I objected to that, he told me to "get hit by a truck full of cancer". Super funny in retrospect.

Didn't LordKat also get super mad about Spoony at the height of the split with TGWTG drama and upload a bunch of rants trashing him? I don't even remember why he was mad at Spoony, something to do with him thinking Noah cost him press credentials to an event or something like that I think?

Noah's infamous "Betrayal" rant supposedly got LordKat, and only LordKat, blacklisted from events [citation loving needed]. And he was soooo upset he couldn't interview Notch, his hero! So he went on stream and told Noah to kill himself with his brother's service weapon.

It was over Spoony's BETRAYAL stunt over the XCOM FPS where he publicly harassed the developers. It was utterly pathetic and embarrassing but Angry Joe was there and it didn't seem to hurt him.

Right, right. Man that "Betrayal!" rant was really pathetic in retrospect, to the point that I can't believe Spoony brought it back in his Ultima reviews as some sort of bit. To be fair though IIRC even he realized after one or two videos it was a bad idea and killed it. But yeah I specifically remember Angry Joe being on camera next to Spoony when he was having his meltdown so if he didn't see any industry blowback, I have no idea why LordKat would when he was at best only nominally associated with Spoony via CA.

I'm 99% sure LordKat had one person incidentally mistake him for the "betrayal" guy and used that as an excuse to explain all of his failings as an industry journalist. When the real reason was probably because bad poo poo was already starting to come out about him.

I never understood what people saw in that whole Cloud-in-drag sequence that made it so popular. Even back in the day it just seemed like any other “guy has to dress as a woman and gets hit on by other guys, hyuck hyuck” joke that every sitcom and cartoon seemed to be doing back in the 90s and that would probably be considered homophobic today. I’m not saying I was offended by it or anything- I’m not lgbt so I can’t dictate to others what qualifies as homophobic- but it felt kinda cringey.

Sydin posted:Even back in the day when he was in his prime Spoony had one of the most toxic fanbases among the TGWTG crowd, he used to have his own forums which I remember were a constant source of consternation for him because so many people there were belligerent assholes. That fanbase carried over to his Patreon and Reddit, and once it became clear he wasn't really making videos anymore but was still taking Patreon money they got even worse and starting turning the bulk of their ire on Noah himself. It's probably psychological. AVGN is always angry, but his exaggerated anger always makes him look insanely confident in himself, which is nice to watch, but the sort of people with deep-seating issues probably don't subconsciously identify with that kind of persona. Noah's Spoony-character however looked like an adorable dork (with deap-seated issues) at the best of times. It's my personal believe that if you're a crazy person on the internet, you're more likely to latch on someone like Spoony because your subconscious is going "Hey, that guy is almost like me! Sweet!", while when watching your average AVGN-video, your brain is just going "Ha, ha, angry man is funny!" Jamie Faith posted:He was outed as a rapist. He sexually assaulted a woman while she was drunk/sleeping live while streaming The sad thing is, this kind of poo poo doesn't even surprise me anymore. Back then when I was still watching everything ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com was putting out like some kind of weird reality TV Ersatz, I eventually stopped watching LordKat's videos just because I felt more and more revolted, even though it was just some dumb feeling with no connection to reality. I guess the lesson here is I should just trust my gut feelings more! Sydin posted:Right, right.

Even back then it was obvious LordKat got blacklisted because he is a stupid idiot, not because of Spoony.

Anyone else remember those sites that where specifically designed to take pot-shots at tgwtg, the busy street and dead horse interchange, I used to be a member of DHI and read/comment on TBS when I started to dislike tgwtg, I guess it was just nice to find other people who felt the same. I kind of miss that content even though it wasn't very good and bordered on creepy, I believe the guys that ran TBS where goons.

I’ve never heard of either but just checked out Dead Horse Interchange, which is still around. It’s indistinguishable from 4chan or kiwi farms. They’re very concerned about white women having sex with men who aren’t white and one of their top posters is named Rape Guy. I don’t know what it used to be, but I’m guessing it took a hard right turn circa 2015.

It's just a disguise that they use to target a total scumbag.

Yeah the tone and handling of it (Plus stuff like the LGTB people they meet along the way and the people supporting them) really turn it from a joke to just something and some people that exist in universe, no weirder than anyone else.

Cloud cross-dressing, not to mention a slew of other minor goofy things from the original FF7 (the aforementioned Hell House, some of the dialog/scenes/situations) also serve as an amusing contrast to FF7 expanded universe stuff like Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, where the tone was a lot more serious.

I can't really think of any way that it isn't basically that at the end because they pretty heavily imply that Don's only interested in ciswomen. Unless if Cloud "wins" he's just like, "Eh you know what, you're still hot why not" after the reveal which still isn't great.
