• Obscurus Lupa of Channel Awesome Accuses Nostalgia Critic of Sexual Harassment
    343 replies, posted
Within a week, this whole thing went from "Channel Awesome is kinda incompetent" to "Channel Awesome is so incompetent that they accidentally released the name of some who sexually assaulted people" This is worse than DSP levels of fucking up.
Like his family didn't even fucking know. Oh my fucking god
Because it's an easy way to instantly destroy someone's credibility for several portions of the internet It's like a near universal piss tape
Apparently one of the victims knew that Justin had a lovely elderly mother who had idea and she didn't want to devastate her. Seriously awful situation on all fronts.
One of the reason why many people bring up GG is because some are still firm on blindingly Hating it (Like NeoGaf or some Media websites.. like this one!) or blindingly supporting it (Like KotakuInAction or some other dumb websites) They are called GG Hanger-ons, and honestly, If you're still blindingly Hating GG or Blindingly Supporting GG on 2018, you are a fucking Idiot and deserve a slap in the face for still thinking this is 2014. I guess another reason to why GG is mentioned a lot in the CA mess, is because like Jakula said, It was sort of a big point turning point, Channel Awesome basically got split in two, and Jackasses like Dan Olson acted like this was a fucking war going full "Either you're with us or Against us" splitting the site even further, and, again, like jakula said, Dan never told them that he was part of the disaster that was CON, which was all full Anti-GG. Anyways, leaving all the GG drama behind, Time for another Drama! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/79269139-ccb1-41b8-8e36-8529f1c0a21a/partners.png Seems the Patnership list got finally updated, Cinemassacre is gone from the Patnerships list. And Guru Larry says that so far he has not been contacted why any Higher-ups of the website: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/7a869456-24d5-4744-8194-d8b11025cf7b/074D7E4E-FD00-4967-99C1-D673D35519C7.jpeg Still Hoping he takes control of the Channel, I welcome our new Hawaiian T-Shirt overlord. Still needs to fight against Brad thought, Brad so far has been keeping himself quiet about all of this
It seems really odd. Brad is doing everything to completely distance himself away from this by removing anything relating to channel awesome on both his twitter and his own personal website. But he won't outright say that he is leaving
Not even the people in charge know that Larry is partnered with them.
brad is probably trying to take the diplomatic route since the channel awesome guys were his friends and he's infamously fiercly loyal even when his friends do shitty things (see: spoony)
Looks like That Guy With the Glasses is still visible on Cinemassacre's "Partners" page, but for all I know that's just a relic and Mike or whoever hasn't updated it yet.
Doug's Facebook says "Worked at Channel Awesome". No way to know if this has been like this for a while though. https://narry.land/t2luC0.png
Part of me respects that but it's just gonna make him look like he's in bed with them

Neogaf, aka Resetera, likes to hate on gamergate to this day because many of its users actually believe Gamergate was responsible for the birth of the Alt-Right and thus is also responsible for getting Trump elected. No joke.. It also helps reinforce their little shared myth that their site, like the site they all left, is the lone oasis in the sea of feces they believe the gaming community to be.
This is some pretty standard leftist paranoia, born of the mentality that we need to match the insane right in everyway. plottwist, we don't... also; ThighHighSuccubi and Ganorumo. Either we deflate this sexual tension with a theesome or you two back off...
I don't think it's sexual tension. I just think they don't like you.
Ok, Koleslab, stop it. Don't need to add more Right or Left wing politics here. CyclonatorZ's comment, while unnecessary on this thread, was basically talking how dumb NeoGaf is. And leave your stupid threesome to the DMs. On a more light topic! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/5a8b8953-afef-4912-b1f5-d24284326b93/hySsVw2.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHnyQXyuTGY This is pretty much Larry in the whole situation.
Not that the gaming community doesn't have a plethora of problems, but NeoGAF (however they refer to themselves nowadays) is hardly an oasis. Just a den of self-important know-it-alls with an obsession towards PlayStation that borders on worship. Seriously, they're as bad as Wired are with Apple (who replaced their entire website with a Steve Jobs memorial when he died but barely even mentioned anything when the creator of the C language died a few days later.)
I still can't believe that none of them were paid. For any of the bullshit that they had to do to even keep on the site that didn't even host their videos, then got upset when they sought other forms of income. Then made them pay room and board for events, didn't even feed them, didn't even give them the MOVIE THEY WORKED ON and just expected them to do all the scenes that required outside work for free including doing special effects for free, making music and everything else. No I don't feel bad for Doug. He's a fucking scumbag.
No they got paid in exposure. Major difference
I wonder how AngryJoe must feel. He had no idea Justin was a rapist when he died and Doug likely never clued him in when Joe's tribute video went up. I wonder if people like Joe can remain friends with Doug after all this.
MarzGurl fucking made an ENTIRE MOVIE dedicated to Justin after he took his own life.
I know that Linkara has removed JewWario's hat from his set and re-edited the description for one of his videos that contained a little tribute for Justin.
Bennett the Sage has kept a replica of JewWario's hat displayed prominently on his bookshelf is all his videos since he died.
Okay, so I have done my research, and apparently... The main reason why so many people are bringing up GamerGate, is because JesuOtaku and Dan Olson reportedly knew the JewWario situation However, they didn't call him out, not because of respecting the victim's piracy or anything like that.... it's was because they were worried about GamerGate? http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/361/904/bf9.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/134229/dce04278-37e7-4a94-bbd9-858fcc7f49d5/DaoiMqEVwAIIvxW.jpg
what
I get what they're trying to say. Regardless of what you feel about GG, people involved with any facet of that shitshow both suffered from and engaged in some p bad harassment, doxxing, etc. If the JewWario stuff went public at that time, I'm sure the victims/family/anyone even slightly connected woulda had information dumped, been bombarded with shitty messages, maybe even threats to Channel Awesome people who had nothing to do with it. Like, look at how much of a shitshow it is now four years after the fact. Victim identities have been revealed by some people on twitter and reddit, family who had no idea about it have found out, fingers are being pointed in each direction as to who knew about this/who could have done more/etc without much if any actual proof. If this had gone public at the time it would have been ten times worse imo.
I have to say that out of everyone in Channel awesome for whom my opiniom of has drastically changed after all of this, the only one who I have actually gained a lot of respect for is Linkara. I always thought he was the biggest cringy creep on the website, as there were always these strange stories circulating about him (not the fetish stuff, I don't care if someone has a strange fetish, that's a personal thing). There are a lot of stories in the document ans videos about Channel Awesome that show that he always went above and beyond to help other creators, try and keep people informed, and to be a voice of dissent where otherwise few others could or wouldn't speak up. Sure, he has his oddities but I at least gained a lot of respect for him.
I'm just glad AngryJoe and Lindsay came out clean.
