Holy poo poo Lordkat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UFSG1GEFv8 (Too Long, Didn't Listen : Lordkat breaks down, apologizes to everybody, especially Spoony, ends his show.) I don't even know what to say, at least he realizes he's been a huge, huge dick ?

Jesus christ, can't say I ever expected that. I really hope it's not some stunt or something he's gonna 180 on either. A long time ago I used to like his content and thought he sounded like a cool enough dude, then when was it that he just blew up, right after he cut with TGWTG? Either way, then right after some point he just let fly, shits on Brad for his marriage, tells Spoony to kill himself, this and that, like woah man no thank you. If he finally came around and realized that was some bullshit, then good on him.

I wonder if it was one grand performance art piece and troll all along  If he's genuine this is good to hear. Curious what anyone closer to him thinks about all of this and if they believe it. Bad Wolf posted:(Too Long, Didn't Listen : Lordkat breaks down, apologizes to everybody, especially Spoony, ends his show.) I don't even know what to say, at least he realizes he's been a huge, huge dick ? Edit: Ignore the TL;DR and listen to the whole thing. I was being glib with my initial comment but you can tell he means it and while it doesn't unburn bridges or anything it sounds like he's seriously turning over a new leaf. Good on the guy and I sincerely wish him the best and that he can make amends with people if at all possible. Tracula fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Feb 27, 2016 |

MonsieurChoc posted:The latest Baywatching is amazing. Incredible. I know a lot of the other episodes had ~aliens~ and stupid poo poo like that, but for some reason the incredibly ridiculous killer and his murderous dispatching of some chump in a dark hawaiian shirt and bucket hat was to me the funniest Baywatch episode in existence. Truly I have never seen a murderer more horrifying. Thank you again Alison, for revealing this chilling tale of terror.

My favorite parts are where all his bro-bros assure him, nah dude, you're a good guy. You've created a meaningful community here. You know, a meaningful community that's prided itself on swarming and harassment for years. You've been a locus for shittiness, Jason. A real hero to insecure manchildren everywhere who can only feel powerful by making poo poo up and dogpiling random people for some perceived SJW-related wrong. Whose only meaning in life is, at best, just being lovely en masse. Don't you know that meeeaaaans something Jason? That the abject worst of humanity needs you? No, you're a good guy, Jason. A GOOD guy. Because you've provided a community for other good guys who can only make themselves feel good by (and using this word is being super charitable) harassing people and spreading conspiracy theories and meaningless bile. Jesus Christ, it honestly makes it worse that he knew what he was doing was wrong but kept doing it anyway because he wanted to be Howard loving Stern. What subhuman waste.

As for that story you mention, I know a few of the facts and I have to wonder how the hell it got twisted into "stealing a house". I feel sorry for anyone who has had to deal with Jason's fanbase, and still does. Same with the rabid members of the CA fanbase. Burn all Fandom while we're at it.

somekindofguy posted:Jason did actually mention you explicitly, and even acknowledged you as Jake. Women...not so much? He said it was a long list of people he needed to apologize to, but he only called out a few people specifically. So of all the dozens upon dozens of women he wronged (stories like mine from TGWTG, being a part of Gamergate, and even literally molesting a woman on camera), the only "woman" he bothered to apologize to is the one he found out was a man. Go gently caress yourself, Jason. My story got twisted into "stealing a house" because Jason's fanbase wanted to ruin a woman's life, no matter what she had done. I also got sent rape threats and "jokes" endlessly after Spoony made a rape joke about me that I never even responded to, apart from asking him if he was okay. Thousands of guys just wanna see women destroyed. They do not need a reason. By the way, looking into this situation a little more? Jason has a new real-world job now. He made that video as a first step to try and clean up his image because if his employer ever searches his name, he's absolutely hosed. So yeah. Get hosed, LordKat. You don't get to say "I'm sorry!" and win a no-consequences award.

Well at least this is potentially good news if it means Jason isn't going to keep doing the same terrible stuff he's been doing for so many years. But yeah, he's still a piece of poo poo. I'm kind of ashamed I was once a fan of his (back when he was less obvious about being an awful person, but still.) Good riddance.

I don't know if I'd be up for that.

Go gently caress yourself, Jason. I really have to wonder how many people who get into a dogpile don't think of the targets as actual people. Or maybe they think of them as people, but distort what they actually say or do to justify what they are doing as right. I'd guess that people don't see what they are doing as wrong ("It's not harassment, it's criticism!") or as hurtful, and the distance allowed by the internet makes it easier to do. There's probably a whole bunch of studies on this sort of thing, or there will be in the near future. Not to mention the effect of having a group of people around you on your individual behavior. Video games themselves might not have direct influence on behavior, but I'd have to wonder what effects the community around video games would have, good and bad. Again, probably already studies or there will be studies in the future. Still Jake, I want to thank you and Zac; your writing on geek culture and how people conflate criticism of something they like with criticism of themselves helped me to think about how I might do that, and how to separate the two. Not to mention how you guys and the Chez Apocalypse crew helped get me more aware of social justice issues and how not to be a shithead online. CONTENT: So I was on a magic special binge last year, especially when it came to the David Copperfield TV specials. I started reading up on David in general and how the specials were put together, and I learned a bit about the team that helped Copperfield pull off his illusions. And lo and behold, a few weeks ago I found out Shark Jumping did an episode on them: HOHO MAGIC (Warning: Doug face in the first couple of minutes) They basically argue that most of the specials were solid, and that the "shark jumping" point came with his last special, Tornado of Fire, and the rise of street magicians David Blaine and Criss Angel. The special has a bunch of moments where a 40 year-old magician tries to be hip, a few "magic on the street" segments, and a finale where Copperfield risks his life by standing in the center of the titular (and admittedly very dangerous looking) tornado of fire. For about ten seconds. MAGIC~ So yeah, he was definitely aping Blaine's style with the special. It wasn't all terrible though; the "Portal" illusion he does at the end where he and an audience member "teleport" to Hawaii was cool. And it didn't really hurt him too much in the end; he stopped for a while, bought a chain of islands in the Bahamas, and he's still apparently performing in Vegas to this day. He's not in the public eye as much, but he shows up on occasion. There's a little bit of interesting stuff about where the illusions came from, including how many were originally done by Doug Henning. I'd like to see someone approach magic specials with an eye towards presentation and how it's all put together along with entertainment value, but unfortunately all we really have is this guy.  at its finest. This other guy, Alexo does it better at least, but there's only the one. I need more dammit.Sorry for the magic  , but it's nice to see a bit of a resurgence with Penn and Teller: Fool Us on the air.

I think the problem Lordkat has what he mixed his trolling with his professional entertainer persona - I liked him when he'd goof off and have fun on stream, but then he got angrier and meaner and I stopped watching. Dude is literally crying with remorse in the video, it sounds like he does want to be a better person. Hopefully he makes a clean break and finds something that makes him happy and fulfilled - as much as his behaviour turned me off his show, if he really wants to own up to his mistakes and move on, fair play to him.

Honestly this feels like a way for him to not lose pr and save face in his employers' eyes. After the all the poo poo he's done and pulled over the years, I can safely say "no, gently caress off, after all the poo poo you said, and all horrid acts you wanted happen happened, saying 'sorry' with tears in your eyes does not make it better."

Go to his YouTube and check out the last episode before this Goodbye thing. It's business as usual AND he goes off about a customer he was dealing with, plus a few other stories that sound like they stem from the new job since they're all about making GBS threads on those uninformed in the ways of IT/streaming. (And of course spraying the "sales department" with trash talk for selling those people stuff or whatever, I dunno.) And the graphic he uses for all these vids? "Jason Pullara Live" Methinks someone "noticed" the new hire.

I remember some of the terrible stuff he used to say, but if he ends up going back to the way he was, then well it doesn't matter because it's not like anyone's opinion on him will have changed and if he does change for the better, that's only a good thing right? I dunno, maybe that's naive on my part but I think everyone deserves a second chance to make things better.

I feel like people are trying to say, "Oh, hey, maybe this shithead's actually planning on not being a shithead, that'd be nice," and other people are hearing, "Welp, remorse, looks like he's a good guy now, let's never talk about his shitheadedness again!" Which isn't terribly surprising, since I've seen that pop up a lot (especially, for some reason, in cases of misogynist assholes), but I'd like to at least adopt a "wait and see" attitude, where we hold off on any assumptions until dude has some time to either walk the walk or backslide into further shitheadedness. I definitely hold out hope that assholes can figure out they were assholes and make some effort toward self-improvement, and it'd be cool if this were such an example. No need to forget former shittiness (in fact, if he's really comitted to this, he'll have to address it) and no reason for any victims to deal with him at all, but I'd at least like to reserve judgment until we see if he's the for real deal.

At least I have some fond memories of watching them play L4D2 and those early DnD campaigns.
