I hope anyone involved seriously reflects and changes their behaviour moving forward, and I also hope that the videos aren’t completely lost. There was an enormous amount of good stuff on that channel, some really great interviews and spotlights on stuff I’d never have heard of without them. Woke up this morning with their videos showing up in my queue again.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Phyllis Schafly AND Ann Coulter! I just remembered the second name she dropped. Ugh. What a pair. Definitely says a lot about the person. Unfortunately so. Yet they still ended up divorced? EVS might have went too crazy enough for her. You are fortunate to have met so much generational talent. Some of the greats. All one can do is thank them when given the chance for all they've done and you have done so. That's something to cherish. The Last Call fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Mar 25, 2024 |

I'd love to be able to honestly ask "why don't these people just not be horrible abusers?", but the answer is generally "horrible abusers are the ones the system is geared to reward".

The Last Call posted:I did know Ethan was a supporter of the right, not sure why but I definitely got that impression at the time. I’m fairly sure he went to the staff once to complain about someone’s view point about something that was going on. I can’t recall what. I do remember people were always uncomfortable with Sinestro’s look, it resembled you know who and he confirmed it was based off him. That was always off putting, if only we knew what was to come. ...Hitler? I thought he was supposed to be

That would have been unsurprising and completely risible, much like his politics. Got to say, "everyone knows I'm right wing so obviously the title was a joke" is not the defence he thinks it is.

Comic Tropes is really good, but I only discovered Comic Pop recently and I'm angry I didn't find it sooner. Just an amazing crew. But yeah, on average they may be worse than the 'real gamuhr' crowd.

It's TikTok. That's a joke, the major factors lowering readership is likely a combination of this wild inflation we're experiencing and cultural shifts further away from reading as a leasure activity. But it's not not TikTok, either.

This seems unfair to Frank Miller. Like, yeah, he's racist, but he's never been accused of sexual assault and while his comics feature prostitute characters more often than you'd think, they're always sympathetic portrayals.

Ed has posted a suicide note. The fact that it's April 1st of course makes everything a bit harder to take seriously, but it reads like a very legit post. funtax fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Apr 1, 2024 |

I hope Ed does not kill himself, he is a talented artist who has filled hours of my life with entertaining work. I hope he is found safe, and instead actually reckons with what he has done. He just continues to blame people in that note, little understanding of what he is being accused of and why people are upset at him.
