I mean I didn't even call you any of those things, I'm just making an observation that this differentiation, while existing in some cases, is a pointless one to make, and the people fixated on drawing/highlighting these differences are people with ulterior and malignant motives.
Speaking of GamerGate! There's a ResetEra thread talking about the Channel Awesome Meltdown, and let me tell you, its a fucking shitshow. As to expect from a place with such kinds of people as ResetEra, they always gotta mention Gamergate! they are calling Guru Larry a Gator (they sure love the word gator or Goober) and "not a good guy" cus he participated on GG: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/6c77c2d0-8ff9-4e15-82f8-d3fa1afdb863/upload_2018-4-13_18-37-24.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/c06d36ba-9b93-49e9-80f6-67a9448fcd9f/upload_2018-4-13_18-37-35.png Another one at ResetEra is calling Fredrik Knudsen (Down the Rabbit hole dude) a person who probably does Sieg Heil on a secret discord with his private alt right buddys and Goobers: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/218043/8b9f549a-521f-42c3-8171-d08b55e6f038/upload_2018-4-13_19-16-6.png Sorry if I got off topic here but ResetEra is just the gift that keeps on giving.
I still freaks me out that the very last time I saw him alive was minutes after the alleged event. Damn.
26 hours later: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107272/6dc9ca46-7661-497a-b177-eb1794077dfe/image.png And I believe Brad Jones intends to leave as well. So that guy was a prophet. Larry wins.
How silly of me to think NeoGaf would stay gone when it was shut down
Its like they dont get why literally everyone celebrated when they got shut down.
There can be only one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a2LDrbtwlA His leaving video goes into detail about the lack of communication, mismanagement and the fact that Lewis Lovhaug (Linkara) was the only person who helped him when he needed help from management, and Lewis wasn't part of management. He rarely spoke to Mike Michaud; and goes into detail about the cancelled 10th anniversary for Channel Awesome.

i like how 90% of the responses to this are just "implying he has hair"

Hold up. I remember NeoGAF "Crashing" themselves over the molestation allegations. Has NeoGAF fully shutdown since?
No it's still up with people posting regularly.
This is a disaster I can't look away from. I thought the drama would fizzle out after the document with no satisfying response so I'm pleasantly surprised at CA's determination to dig their hole as deep as they can. I feel incredibly sorry for the people affected though.
This whole thing led me to KotakuInAction and they are victim blaming and calling the girls who got molested all sorts of vile names, they also believe the whole thing is a SJW mission to destroy Doug and slander JewWario for being a straight white male. What the fuck. I thought that sub was meant to be really cool and had reasonable arguments?
Much like any other community, there are some bad eggs. A lot of alt-righters are stirring shit in that community, trying to change the general impression of things to fit their narrative. Often they create the thread to favor their viewpoint in the OP. when they can't they try to tear other peoples discussions off the rails and often, the community is having none of it. It's gotten better since Milo fucked off. Check back and see if it's just one thread or even just one comment chain circle-jerking. That is often the case when they roll in the confederate cavalry.
KIA hasn't been "cool" since 2014. They've been in with the anti-SJW crowd for ages, and victim blaming is something that tends to go around those circles. 4chan has several boards doing the same thing (Doug Walker was a minor lolcow over there before the docs were released and they flipped).
Doug himself has poked fun at the fact that he's balding, so...
I find the Jew Wario situation quite fascinating. If you go look at any of the tribute videos that were made for him back in 2014, you'll now see numerous comments pop up, pointing out that he was a sexual predator. Many of them are even celebrating his death retroactively, or attacking those who griefed for him. That seems like a really shitty thing to do regardless of what Jew Wario did, because at this point it's like they're dancing on someone's grave.

This whole thing goes from dark and twisted to fucking hilarious every 10 seconds.

"You're literally worse than cancer" Way to be a bigger man.
I love how much the Anti GG/Alt Right weirdos have in common, forcing their ideology and wishing death on some hapless person while caring about shit literally everyone else moved on from years ago. Why can't they just kiss, make up and fuck off already.
The lesson I learned, steer clear of anything related to GG as it's bound to lead to a heaping garbage fire.
Maybe it's just poe's law in action, but this reads like satire.
Because saying anything other what you believe in means that what you believe in is wrong. Got to stick to those guns whether you right, wrong, or even irreverent.
more like channel awesome: just larry
I've been thinking, could Doug recover from this and shit just returns to normal a month from now? He has a pretty huge following and apparently Screen Junkies had problems like this but then everything was fine. NC could probably keep going to be honest. Doug's rep is probably tarnished though.
Channel Awesome's brand is definitely tarnished, that's for sure, but I could see Doug continuing to make videos in the short run. Even though they have a paltry two affiliates left (one of whom is there ironically), I could see them cutting the "Shows" section entirely and just focusing instead on Nostalgia Critic/etc content only. I don't see much point in them trying to keep up the appearances and go through the trouble of keeping the "shows" up if they only have two supporters left.
