Burch has unfortunately sort of moved over to comics, where he even worked with John Carpenter of all people. (Whether there was back and forth involvement or John just saying "Yeah, whatever kid, let me get back to watching my basketball" who can say.) Nothing super high profile yet but maybe he bounced over to comics because gaming wouldn't touch him. He also claims on that Twitter account to have done a voice for an Adventure Time special which is depressing if true.

His opinion of if the character is realized is kinda moot anyway, the main issue is it's yet another trans/queer character who's main job is to suffer and be The Trans One and then...not much else, as well as the whole 'boy this character gets misgendered and attacked for being trans a lot' being just a super lazy way to establish 'the world is dark and gritty and grim'. Like, it'd be like if to show someone was bad you had them call a black character the n-word. It's not that people don't believe a bad person would be bigoted or even that the bigotry is out of place, but it's just kinda a pointless shock way to add 'grit' that ignores the presence of actual humans who deal with that poo poo anyway.

Cuz like you said that was basically what the nerd industry did with Burch.

I remember the most telling thing about Burch was the way he immediately clamped down and pulled the plug on his Twitter account when #MeToo started rolling full force.

I still can't loving believe Burch hounded his wife at the time to open their relationship, and when she finally relented she immediately started getting laid but he couldn't and then whined on twitter about how unfair it was. And then she divorced him. What an honest to god pathetic loving loser. I hadn't heard about the casting couch poo poo but it doesn't surprise me given he seems to primarily let his dick make hilariously lovely decisions for him.

Anyone watch Aqualung game reviews? He covers mostly atari, NES, and 16-bit games. Generally a pretty dry delivery with a few one liners slipped in every now and then. Some reviews are all of 3 minutes long, particularly the atari games. He also does review/walkthrough hybrids that are kind of like abridged let's plays. Recently he's started a new series where he ranks the main songs of a particular game's soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jLMT81nkKE He has a pretty large catalog of videos, going back like 13-14 years. His older videos occasionally have some rough language (using "retard" as a pejorative, "this enemy will try to rape you", etc), but he appears to have phased it out; I have not caught anything like that in his newer videos.

Honestly I don't really get why everyone dunks on Burch for his experience with men going poorly (beyond "he was declared Bad so now we have to mock literally everything that happens to him") because... I'm actually a pan dude who can 100% relate Every time I've gone on Grindr I see basically one cute dude in a sea of gross 50+ truckers and closeted dads/grandpas and get a bunch of pics of malformed penises and hairy buttholes with messages like "WANNA COME SUC?" attached, and then the cute dude never responds to anything (probably because, while I'm not outright disgusting, I'm not exactly 70s-era Freddie Mercury myself) Attempting to hook up with men is just generally not an incredibly pleasant experience regardless of the gender of the person attempting to do it, from what I gather

I don't think there's any need to presume that Anthony Burch was lying about being bi unless he says so himself, because whether or not he is bi, he seems like kind of an rear end either way and it doesn't really make a difference.

Given what's in the google doc and what that indicates about Burch as a person, I see that less as his wife scoring and more his wife finding support to escape an abusive shithead.

Looks like Doctor Disrespect has started his PR campaign, as a bunch of gaming sites are running stories about how he has no idea whatsoever why Twitch banned him and he hasn't done anything wrong. It's extremely disappointing to see a bunch of sites just reporting his PR bullshit without any thought.

Nope it's still radio silence on the reason he got permabanned from twitch and also lost his Discord partnership. The latter isn't being discussed as much but I feel is important. He was the 7th highest streamer on twitch, subscription wise. He had to have done something major.

The way in that how serious twitch and everyone that knows what happened treats it, it is most likely a criminal investigation, so a PR campaign is just his managers/wife trying to milk the last drops from fans before poo poo goes public.

A bunch of his sponsors re-added him to their ad campaigns so the "crime" angle seems slightly less likely. I guess Twitch has never actually given a reason when they permabanned someone. There was that idiot Ice Poseidon who got SWATTed on an airplane and they didn't give that as a reason when they banned him. There were a couple others too.
