There's a bit in an episode where he makes fun of that and the people who @ him to this day about it.

However attempting to search for it just pulls up the saddest people in the world talking about twitter drama or whatever

If you're in to pokemon and want something to put on in the background, Jrose11 does a bunch of videos where he tries to beat Pokemon Red/Blue (and very occasionally other titles) with just one pokemon, no items allowed in battle. This ranges from the actual starters, to legendaries, to an Abra that he's not allowed to evolve and can only teach physical moves.

His videos can be pretty long and it's not exactly super riveting content visuals-wise, which is why I recommend it more as a background thing, but I've quite enjoyed his stuff.

Yeah I enjoy chucking videos by him or Mah-Dry-Bread on in the background while I'm playing games. Just nice background noise for something that I grew up with but didn't truly dive deep into.

Lindsay getting dragged into the lunatic thing she found is not unexpected, but I’m liking the idea of some c-grade troll having no idea what she’s provoking by going after someone with such an intimate understanding of the mistakes internet amateurs make when they try to monetize a hobby.

That Lindsay Ellis video is really good. Not quite as good as the original, but considering that making a followup was not part of her original plan it works really well.

Here's another video I saw recently. Jeffrey Stillwell (who I think I followed because he's such a huge Brian Wilson fan that he remade Pet Sounds from The Beach Boys from scratch and then made a video about that) talks about the visual look of Wes Anderson films and other filmmakers who use or have used a similar style in their work:

She may not have planned the follow-up, but since she clearly consulted an attorney before posting the original (Legal Eagle is in the video) I think she knew there was a fair chance of a fair use fight.

One of the more interesting takeaways is Lindsay coming to the realization that the fundamental premises of her first video was wrong, or at least incomplete. The problem isn't Cain abusing the DMCA, it's about Cain being a psycho bully who tries to deplatform anybody who's even remotely critical of her or that she doesn't like, and DMCA takedowns are just one of the many tools her kit for doing so.

Hopefully Cain isn't stupid enough to actually go through with trying to sue Lindsay. It's a battle Cain would absolutely lose, but even frivolous lawsuits are expensive and exhausting and nobody needs to go through that, particularly this year of all years.

I think he put gay porn in a lawsuit to 'get' a judge or something like that.

I didn't remember that it was gay porn but he definitely had a hate on for the Florida Bar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist)#Filings posted:

Filings
In October 2007, then-Chief[142] U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno sealed court documents submitted by Thompson in the Bar case that depicted "gay sex acts." Thompson's submission prompted U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jordan to order Thompson to show cause why his actions should not be filed as a grievance with the court's Ad Hoc Committee on Attorney Admissions, Peer Review and Attorney Grievance, but the order was dismissed after Thompson promised not to file any more pornography. Thompson then sent letters to acting U.S. Attorney General Peter Keisler and U.S. Senators Patrick Leahy and Arlen Specter demanding that Jordan be removed from his position for failing to prosecute Florida attorney Norm Kent, who Thompson claimed had "collaborated" with the Bar for 20 years to discipline him.[143]

In February 2008, the Florida Supreme Court ordered Thompson to show cause as to why it should not reject future court filings from him unless they are signed by another The Florida Bar member. The Florida Supreme Court described his filings as "repetitive, frivolous and insult[ing to] the integrity of the court," particularly one in which Thompson, claiming concern about "the court's inability to comprehend his arguments," filed a motion which he called "A picture book for adults", including images of "swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word 'slap' written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, [and] a house of cards." (see [144]) Thompson claimed that the order "wildly infringes" on his constitutional rights and was "a brazen attempt" to repeal the First Amendment right to petition the government to redress grievances. In response, he sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, referring to the show-cause order as a criminal act done in retaliation for his seeking relief with the court.[6][145]

On March 20, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court imposed sanctions on Thompson, requiring that any of his future filings in the court be signed by a member of The Florida Bar other than himself. The court noted that Thompson had responded to the show cause order with multiple "rambling, argumentative, and contemptuous" responses that characterized the show cause order as "bizarre" and "idiotic."[7]

It was in a disbarment case against him too. Thompson was convinced the opposing lawyer was working with some Florida LGBT activist who had been rightfully publicly critical of Thompson's homophobic moral crusading. So in order to "discredit" this opposing secret LGBT-agent lawyer, he submitted a massive amount of hardcore M/M porn to the judge, as "proof" of how horrible and gross this other lawyer and his secret LGBT allies really were.

The judge, unsurprisingly, was not amused.

It would be satisfying to see Lindsay wreck her up in court if she can reasonably endure the costs because she’s someone who started out monetizing a hobby on the internet and would have been and was vulnerable to predatory bad actors moving through the world of monetized internet hobbies like that, but she’s become an internet professional with means and expertise and has survived organized harassment far beyond whatever a mean girl can manage. There would be an element of karmic justice that might feel satisfying.

It’s probably not worth it, but wouldn’t it be nice to see the American legal system actually deliver justice?

Right place right time right victims I think. He publicly went after rap music in '90 when a lot of people on the right where really starting to wring their hands over it, and he started going after violence in video games by using school shootings as a springboard to say "look these kids had violent games, this is why they ended up being violent themselves" and once again rode the wave of a moral outrage. Granted this is just me spitballing.

He was definitely always a nutter and had to be known as such in legal circles, like holy poo poo this wikipedia page:

quote:

In sending documents to opponents, Thompson would frequently attach a photocopy of his driver's license, with a photo of Batman pasted over his own. Thompson said, "I have sent my opponents pictures of Batman to remind them I'm playing the role of Batman. Just like Bruce Wayne helped the police in the movie, I have had to assist the sheriff of Broward County." He also wore a Batman wristwatch.[23]

quote:

Thompson also said, "the 'social commentary' on this album is akin to a sociopath's discharging his AK-47 into a crowded schoolyard, with the machine gun bursts interrupted by Pee-wee Herman's views on politics".[26]

quote:

As the debate continued, Thompson wrote, "An industry that says a line cannot be drawn will be drawn and quartered."[28

Like come on, people knew. He was just getting protected/ignored because he was primarily bashing on African Americans, LGBT folks, and kids.
