There kind of is one, a lot of AM drama also bleeds over into the ongoing thread about sex pest VA Vic Mignogna right here since they're a constant train wreck that platforms the dude while also being an endless dumpster fire of grifts.

It's a sad loving commentary that you can make a living being an alt-right nerd, let alone a loving millionaire like Geeks and Gamers and the Quartering.

I do have to ask as someone who spends an unhealthy amount of her budget on beans: which coffee company is this I should be avoiding if they're trying to be the Maynard of coffee? I know Black Rifle's "ooo-rah kill 'em", but what the hell goes further?

Rhyno posted:Wait, BR Coffee is woke now? They declined to sponsor Kyle Rittenhouse, despite earlier retweeting out a picture with him wearing their shirt or something. That was enough to count as "going woke" for a pretty big chunk of the redcap crowd.

If it's anything like a Hambly product, it'll die out in months. Remember his videogame review website? Me either.

I feel like "rightwing coffee" is a very limited demographic. Everybody drinks coffee, but the only people who give a poo poo about the politics of the coffee company they buy from are conspicuous consumption liberals, everyone else just buys the coffee that fits their budget to taste to availability ratio.

Yeah, they're all turning on Cracker Barrel now, since they introduced Impossible sausage. You know, an optional thing you never, ever have to order. But go woke, get broke.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I dunno about that, conservative/Republicans have lots of brands they boycotted for the dumbest reasons imaginable 1) they lie about boycotting poo poo all the time. Like Oreo has an ad where the cream filling is rainbow colored during pride month and say "I'm never buying Oreos again" and maybe they stop buying Oreos until September. 2) Boycotting a company because they "got woke" is different than specifically buying a product because they are right wing. They might not buy from a certain company because they think it's too liberal, but they aren't going to pay extra for coffee because it's right wing.

Jeremy charges around two to three times the regular amount for what you get for normal coffee. There's always enough alt-right suckers to grift.

Like that moment in AGDQ when the announced announced a 10,000$ donation and there was a huge cheer, and then announced it was from Notch and there was an awkward silence. People are happy that a hero is here to save the day, but not thrilled that it's that guy. To work as a story the hero would have to grow and change though, and I don't imagine that's the kind of story being told in that comic

Small town Clark Kent style hero comes to the big city, not a bad guy but just chock full of learned prejudices and has to learn to overcome them and realise that a bunch of the poo poo he learned as a kid is just flat out wrong. Also later on he realises that he's gay, or at least bi. Bam, there's your pitch.

There's also a line or two earlier on in the show when he's meeting a lady in a bar. And his dad definitely spelled it out, as well as the threeway with Vigilante. It wasn't a secret at any time.

The funny part is he's half right. KS and IGG in no way guarantee you'll get anything. That said, you're definitely not an investor, either, as the best return you can get is the "perk." You're in no way entitled to any portion of the work or product that comes out of a crowdfunding campaign.

The only one I can think of is the actual crime one, like the couple and the homeless guy who staged a viral video and raised a bunch of money before getting caught.
