Apparently Tamara and Malcolm tweeted near identifical refutations of the claims. https://twitter.com/TamaraLChambers/status/984280859242106880?s=19 https://twitter.com/MalcolmtheRay/status/984285932995207169?s=19 Feels like they're quoting right from a Michaud press release. Tamara's account had one extremely close to Malcom's in wording but it was deleted. Sad to hear assholes are apparently hounding them as well. They don't deserve it as they're locked into contracts.

Yeah that really is the amazing part in all this. If CA had outright admitted they are/were bad at running things it might have blown over. I mean they have the perfect excuse of not being experienced early on. Instead they seem to want to double down on the awful behavior.

The first two will probably hold out to the bitter end. I've never heard of the others and they don't seem to post much outside of Larry. Larry, also, is apparently not that tied to youtube videos anymore as he might be becoming a game show host.

PASS THE MASH posted:Battle Geek Plus is saying that 5 including him and Bennett are leaving. So 2 more if Gaming Wildlife is one of them. I really hope one's Brad, though I sadly doubt it.

Signs are actually pointing to Brad as apparently Erod lives under a rock and said he wasn't aware of the accusations a few days ago... And he just posted a video about the 10th anniversary being cancelled this morning so you'd think he'd quit then.

Apparently Brad might be locked in due to the stupid game show contract. He's removed CA from his own site and is obviously trying to distance himself as much as possible. EDIT: apparently he does still have a link to the old TGTWG domain on his site, but he has removed all association with them on youtube and twitter.

Also, in regards to my comments about Count Jackula: apparently he's calmed down a lot since the GG nonsense and a lot of his issues with a few other CA folks were miscommunication. He misread a lot of signals from fellow producers at the time. I'm more of the opinion now he said some stupid things on a few streams out of frustration and his firing from CA was stepping on Michaud or the Walkers' toes at some point rather than him being a jackass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO-8e68T0ko He did a response video to the whole CA thing and it feels like a pretty level headed insight into his experiences behind the scenes. He does try and blame "SJW" politics at one point and people seeing him as "alt right" though. I think he's 100% correct that there was a lot of clique politics at CA as that's pretty much inevitable. It just gradually moved to the point only Doug's clique mattered. EDIT: /\ that is glorious. I want Larry to use that as his twitter icon for a while. EDIT2: the Iron Liz stuff from Nick's stream. This is too hard to listen to...

Yardbomb posted:What about Iron Liz now? Last I saw anything of them it looked like they'd turned into one of the cheetoman's cultists and were defending the pathetic "Remove transpeople from the military" poo poo. Nick interviewed her. After her relationship with Linkara broke up, she was trying to join the army (but couldn't due to the ban) and instead trained to be a police officer. Because she was almost through police training, she was crisis certified and consoled one of Justin's victims (not the one mentioned in the docs) on the set of Suburban Knights. There's more but I'll let folks listen to the stream for it. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Apr 14, 2018 |

Pirate Jenny posted:It is of course possible our paths crossed in a stream or something but I legitimately do not recall such things ever happening. Also, "cliques." Yeah, it's called having friends. Well, he was only with CA for a month or two (edit: corrected on that. He just flew under the radar.) so I'm not surprised and you definitely re-contextualised the entire video by saying you don't even remember him. It definitely sounds more like he's playing victim of your "leftist" politics now and has a lot of bitterness over being booted from the site still even if he tries to act chill. I'm guessing the whole controversy opened up old wounds for him (he hasn't done anything but vlogs for a long time now) because he's been on Nash's show and seemed pretty okay there. I retract my statement as I definitely take your word over his. EDIT: \/ I am so sad the Ender's Game video didn't put the SJW accusations to bed.

DoctorGonzo1969 posted:He was on CA for like a couple of years, I think? He didn't leave because of political stuff, I recall someone close to him went to the CA forums to confirm that he'd left due to feeling like CA and him weren't really working out or something, nothing political. Of course I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it's bullshit and he really did leave due to politics. He's just a hard person to read in general I think. It's always been an issue I've had with his non-edited stuff. He varies wildly from seeming like a pretty chill dude to a frothing lunatic depending on what he's talking about. And yeah he was on CA for a year or two. He collaborated a lot with HorrorGuru (another guy who was mostly under the radar there) with his own stuff being more limited. Calls himself a left-leaning centrist but has a HUGE anti-SJW, anti-identity politics bent by the looks of it (yet as he gets along with Hagan not sure how deep it really goes.)

Mr.Radar posted:I'm guessing he signed over the rights at the point where TGWTG/Channel Awesome was incorporated as a legal entity, before any of his (many) characters had taken off so the magnitude of the decision wouldn't have been blindingly obvious (and Doug, as we know, sometimes misses even that). The trademark was filed in 2016 and according to CA (though I don't think they have any reason to lie here) is shared between four people. I'd assume Doug is one of the four.

So this showed up on the #ChangeTheChannel hashtag from an anonymous source: -Brad resigned quietly on Thursday, but supposedly so have the Walkers as well as Tamara and Malcom, leaving Mike and his brother Greg alone at CA -a few more critic/snob episodes may show up on the site because they were already filmed and submitted -the five are apparently looking for lawyers to deal with this mess but for now are going to stay incognito on a discord while they sort things out. Doug and Rob especially will not be saying anything for a few weeks. It's rather hard to confirm or deny but if they're looking for a lawyer they're going to be keeping their heads down.

AriadneThread posted:doug doesn't own the nostalgia critic name, right? would he have to like, rebrand himself? get a new face?? Apparently the trademark is owned by 4 people (Mike and Greg Michaud, Rob and Doug Walker) so Michaud can't do anything solo with it either. A fifth owner was supposed to be brought on this week, likely Doug's father who has been more hands on with Doug's work since his wife passed away a few years back.
