corn in the bible posted:Back in the day I tried to get onto Channel Awesome. I was in college and me and my friends would watch Doug's stuff and then moved on to watching other things; I was a big fan of Lindsay Ellis and Spoony, and from him I heard about Brad and got into his stuff. It was great! Never made it on the site, though, partly because I didn't try long enough or hard enough, really. Though for a while I used to look back and think about having missed out on this amazing opportunity to work with these amazing people and do some great, creative work. If you learned literally anything about writing or cameras or lighting, or if you developed any insight at all into any particular film or genre, or if you got better at it in any way, your experience was less of a waste than Doug Walker’s life to date. Ditto if you managed to do it without harming anyone or contributing to the harm of others through inaction or stupidity.

Doug Walker reminds me of Kevin Smith in that he wants to be a great filmmaker but is unwilling to improve and learn basic technical stuff because he got ahead without knowing those things (among other things). But when it was time to come together and make something of higher caliber (the anniversary films) he wasn't willing to improve his skillset even the slightest, or at least this how it seems. Reading about how much of a technophobe he is is not surprising at all. Am I wrong or does Rob handle all the computer stuff for Nostalgia Critic?

Rob does some of it but the site itself is ran by Mike Michaud's brother iirc.

I was going to go to bed a few hours ago and then checked this thread and I found out about Justin turning out to be a sleazeball.  This is just terrible. Terrible. I feel awful that I looked up to Jewwario when I should not have. FoldableHuman posted:After all, Justin functionally settled the issue himself, and there's complicated issues specifically when it comes to managing the risk factor that is the GamerGate crowd... On top of it all, it pisses me off so much Gamergate scumbags coming out of the woodwork again to assert their lovely, disgusting dominating personalities to prove how right they are about... about... I don't even know what they gently caress they're trying to say. One of them has used a screenshot of the above post in which FoldableHuman predicts that he'll be accused of poo poo to accuse FoldableHuman of poo poo. https://twitter.com/mombot/status/984812545637728256 Agggg  This fucker on twitter is willfully ignoring the fact that GG people are well known to harass women. I know exactly what FoldableHuman means by "the risk factor that is the GamerGate crowd". He means that they loving harass and threaten people's lives (specifically women who accuse men of sexual misconduct). And now this shithead is acting like none of that poo poo ever happened?!

Arguments can be made that maybe someone might have tried to tell the victims that reporting Justin was for the best Either way, these people are pointing fingers at way more names than the ones who actually knew about it back in 2013 And by 2018 its kinda pointless to tell anyone to report Justin....

The problem is that it's a bunch of people willfully misrepresenting what's going on. Only a tiny number of people knew about what was happening when it was actually happening; this has all come out many years after his death and the only reason it came out at all is because of CA's inept responses. The dude is loving dead; telling the world about what happened and opening up the victims to backlash helps literally nobody. These people don't actually care, they just want to feel self-righteous about how THEY would totally take down the scumbag etc.

They’re willfully misunderstanding that the people who wrote the document about CA only found out about the abuse last week when contacted by a victim, ie long after Justin Carmichael was dead. CA management on the other hand revealed that they knew the whole time, chose not to contact any authorities, and tried to monetize the abuser’s death.

Max Wilco posted:I think some people are angry because people knew but nobody took action. The thing is, somebody did take action. Very drastic action. That kinda made the chance of further incidents impossible. At that point, what's left? Going to court with his widow and estate? Opening yourself up to backlash from a grieving and, lets not forget, kinda crazy fan community? To gain what? The victims said they didn't want it revealed, and it's probably because they want to move on. It was years ago, one of them admitted to going to therapy, and dragging this drama into the spotlight is not helping anyone, especially not the people who were actually hurt. God I hope they don't get found out, because I'm pretty sure these "righteously outraged" people are gonna turn and start harassing them pretty much instantly. And that's a best case scenario. business hammocks posted:CA management on the other hand revealed that they knew the whole time, chose not to contact any authorities, and tried to monetize the abuser’s death. Interestingly, I haven't seen anybody on Twitter pointing fingers at Mike Michaud and Channel Awesome yet. Gee, I wonder why?

I especially love how this fact looks in relation to this part of the Not So Awesome document: Dr gonzo posted:So my first thought is he's [Mike Michaud] already got something planned. But then he follows that up with “Nobody know who you are. They won't care about anything you're gonna put together. We're gonna have Doug or Lewis or someone put something together. Someone people actually come here to see.” ... It's strange how Dr.Gonzo's outrage here is ignorant of the horrible truth yet also accurate.

Like, no one actually needs to know what loving Mombot thinks, no one should give a poo poo because she's loving insane.

I just never thought I posted THAT much. I've got a good two hundred post lead on the nearest contender. Changing topics I hope someday HBomb does a video essay on Jordan Peterson because hoo boy that jerk is a smug piece of work.
