Another fan has also come forward with stuff about Ryan Haywood. Apparently she was not underage or anything, but was in a "vulnerable mental state," (depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues plus apparently a lovely marriage) which he was aware of. Apparently the r/Roosterteeth mods have stated the person who posted the claims has provided evidence to them, so take it for what it's worth.

I am getting tired of "if you don't like [massive, big-budget piece of media made by Disney] you are racist/sexist." If you don't like it for racist/sexist reasons, then sure, that's the case. But Disney did a cost/benefit analysis and figured they could make more money without conceding to the chuds, that's all.

Everyone hates online chuds, it's fish in a barrel. But Disney itself is still the company that (for example) goes out of its way to marginalize all its gay characters, shove them in the background so they can be easily edited out, and then asks for a pat on the back for doing things like throwing out a maybe-possibly-kinda-gay-if-you-squint LeFou in their Beauty and the Beast remake. The actors who played Poe and Finn wanted them to get into a relationship, but it was shot down by Disney for being too controversial.

Disney only ignores the internet chuds because they're marginal. I guarantee that if Disney really stood to lose any money because of the objections of idiots like Mauler, they would bend the knee to them immediately. Corporations aren't anyone's friends.

Right, and that's why massaging chuds by telling them "No of course you're not a piece of poo poo bigot like everybody tells you you are, you're actually a galaxy brain critical genius who can recognize the objective flaws in these movies that the sheeple can't see over lightsabers and explosions and strong female characters that only exist to pander to feminists!" has become mauler's bread and butter. Chuds flock to him because he assures them that their worldview is correct for a reason they can construe as not being bigoted.

Of course, it is a touch mired by-

yea sounds like even at the best case Ryan was a serial cheater who loved to use fans as a hook-up pool which...loving gross anyway. Not real sure what's up with Adam but he seems to be in just as hot water for whatever his deal is. Pity, I always liked his stuff a lot but welp life is a nightmare.

The only one I know of that's worth paying attention to is the podcast Mobile Suit Breakdown https://twitter.com/GundamPodcast They're very thorough and have a good setup and chemistry between the hosts. They also go much deeper to explain or speculate on the references and inspirations for the show and are well versed in Japanese linguistics and history, as well as the history of the franchise.

The one's I've found on yt aren't fascist at all, there's actually been a lot of pushback on that in the fandom so it mostly only exists as right wing social media accounts with a zeon flag avis. However most gundam channels I know of are either just superficial fan gushing, which usually means explaining what's ludicrously obvious if you watched the show or movie they're talking about. The other channels are just about building and rating the gunpla models.

Oh, I'm very glad to hear that! Also thanks for the recommendation, I'll be giving it a listen soon.

The worst I've heard about Adam is that, in addition to the cheating, some of the photos that were taken included his wife, and appear to have been taken without her consent.

yea from the bits I can cypher out it seems A) he was cheating so welp, and B) some of the pics were of his wife without her consent and some really just...dumb weird poo poo like maybe jerking off on some co-workers keyboard or something? Also it sounds like his grumpy nihilist act wasn't that much of a persona considering how a few people have talked about him that don't have to do with the pics...

I haven't gone to look at them, because I'm not in the habit of going out of my way to look at leaked private pictures of people, but apparently a bunch of Adam's photos and videos were shot at the FH offices, including ones where he's jerking it. No idea about whether or not he filmed himself blasting all over someone's keyboard (the clean-up would probably suck), but apparently he also filmed himself coughing onto his co-workers computers or something, which is kind of gross.

His wife hasn't really said a whole bunch, but it appears all of this was news to her as well, and based on tweets or activity on social media by Lawrence, Spoole and Rahul, there seems to be no small amount of friction between them and Adam.

The primary reason Snape has such a large and rabid fanbase is because he was played by Alan Rickman in the movies who was both a phenomenal actor who lent Snape a sense of gravitas he never had in the books and was also disarmingly handsome no matter how much the makeup crew tried to hide it. If they'd actually cast somebody who looked and acted the part of the dirty, greasy, whiney incel who is described in the books then I'd wager he'd be far less lionized a character overall.
