Does Patreon just have no safeguards? Spoony has clear obligations he never met, and yet he's allowed to keep collecting money for doing near nothing. Not that I feel a ton of sympathy for people with enough disposable income to let a patreon subscription go on for months without concern, but it's weird that Patreon doesn't step in and end his account or something.

Pants Donkey posted:It's interesting to see the schism that happened around 2013/2014 in the atheist community, where you have people like AronRa who has been fighting real hard for proper science education in his state, and then people like TF or Amazing Atheist who don't seem that interested in the whole freethought deal. They just like mocking the very easy targets of creationists and Jack Chick-esque figures, and they've never grown beyond that. The second you challenge their preconceived notions they lash out like any fundamentalist. It was really clear even before then that TF was just interested in mocking people, at least in the few times I saw him in crossover things. (I followed AronRa for a long time when he was posting educational stuff.)

Pants Donkey posted:Thunderfoot was doxxed long before he fell down the MRA rabbit hole, back when he was just calling Ken Ham stupid for 30 videos. Thunderfoot was mra garbage way before 2013. He was organizing harassment of women skeptics by 2011 at the latest. The "skeptic" movement lost coherence over the question of whether addressing sexism or racism in science was appropriate for discussion, as it turned out that 20-50% of skeptics were vicious woman-haters and entitled immature boys, and this was brewing by 2008-9. It was like the dress rehearsal for gamergate in some ways, which was of course the dress rehearsal for the nightmare internet culture war that's currently leaking out into the street.

This is beyond pathetic. Fat Grandma is a contribution to human culture one thousand times greater than whatever this gently caress thinks he's doing by harassing and encouraging the harassment of good people with friends and jobs and lives. Can we please just stop linking and mentioning anything to do with that guy? By this account he's returning to his gamergate roots by encouraging swarm harassment, and multiple contributors to this thread have made personal appeals not to give attention to him because they personally will be affected by his poo poo-stirring. Several more may become eventual targets of his efforts.

Let's try all about someone someone who deserves it. Here's Jim talking about all the changes to the show. And yes he took the "Is Jim a Nazi?" Stuff seriously after the past year. http://www.thejimquisition.com/the-jimquisition-reposition/ Edit: wow, that was embarrassing.

I am sad that someone calling themselves "Internet Aristocrat" on youtube was not just a guy ripping Jon Lovitz's SNL Tales of Ribaldry bit and reviewing pornography but turning it off in disgust the moment sex began.

I think the problem now is that by changing to showman/circus/carnival theme, the name "Jimquisition" doesn't fit anymore. It'd be better if if he called the show something like "Sterling's Showcase of [something else that starts with 'S']"

Chromatic posted:This spoony video that was put out yesterday? it's v good. I don't know about gamergate drama with this guy, but i block out gamergate drama by default because who needs that in their life? God this one was harsh, like really harsh, but THIS was the reality check Noah desperately needed. I know I've already mentioned I used to be a fan of Spoony, since sometime around 2008, but seeing him turning into a lost cause, STILL bitching on Twitter and STILL not updating or keeping promises to his patrons has deeply broken my heart. And to think I used to partially defend this guy after his tweet to JesuOtaku and feud with Lupa, when I never realised he's done worse poo poo than that...I mean my god. Never have I grown such deep hatred towards this arsehole, but somehow he's so retarded that he can't take a hint that his fans don't want him doing boring livestreams and leeching off of their money and doing nothing productive in the process. Hell I even looked back at his last review when he teased future reviews of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and some Highlander film...and that was three years ago. I've supported him even after his backlashes and that's already died out. Now after watching Internet Aristocrat/Mister Metokur's video, and Spoony's response to that wasn't "I should understand my fanbase used to care for me back then and I should address my current situation" but instead "why are people hating on me", he's confirmed to me that he's definitely a lost cause. - I know Noah will never see this post, hell he doesn't even have an SA account, but if he does...I want him to understand something. Noah, you are a oval office, you are a loving scummy oval office. When you were in your prime, myself and thousands of fans used to love watching your Final Fantasy reviews, Highlander rants, and the Ultima retrospective. You had fans who seriously gave a poo poo about your work inside and outside of Channel Awesome. We donated to your Patreon because we were your supporters and believed in you, no matter what poo poo you were in (even with Scarlett) we'd still be there for you. So what did you do to your fans who followed you for 7 years? You treated them like poo poo, took their money and ran and barely updated your content! Not only that, you talked poo poo on livestreams, burned bridges with your CA peers, and ruined your credibility as a reviewer by loving tweeting non-stop, even as YOUR loving DOG FOR gently caress'S SAKE! Is it any wonder why April is still putting up with your poo poo and you don't bring up Miles anymore? And now look at you...all you do now is tweet about WWE, complain at people on social media, disable comments in your videos because you don't want to know what people really think of your work, do livestreams of games where you feel like you'd rather play them WITHOUT streaming them in the first place, have some weird plot in your last reviews that later went nowhere (gee I wonder why), have no use for your VHS board games that may as well clutter up your house, rely on Patreon for more money instead of getting a real job, and most importantly...you're COMPLETELY LEFT ON YOUR OWN because all your friends, fans, and collaborators have ABANDONED YOU! I loving despise of you now, you're nothing but a loving scumbag. A part of me really doesn't want to believe that, but you've MADE ME believe it...I've yet to see an apology from you since you clearly hate your fans. I was hoping, really hoping you'd come to your senses, do the right thing and tried to earn respect from your fans...but you BETRAYED them. I should've known better...and Lupa possibly did too. Noah, you truly are a loving scummy oval office.

I feel like, with the way the internet has public documentation for basically all of this, that somebody out there with the time and resources could make a really compelling video showing the life line on how online harassment has paved the way for new age nazis. Probably be a three hour documentary and I would watch the whole thing.

Spoony's fanbase was the worst. A lot of the CA guy's fans were bad, but his were in a league of their own. Other contributors requested he not post any collaborations they did with him onto his site because every video would be met with massive amounts of hate. Remember when he won some internet award, made a thank you video, then had to take it down because people wouldn't stop calling his girlfriend a "fat oval office"?

I don't recall anyone bringing them up but a friend of mine turned me on to a group of guys who check out horror show motel rooms. Of the ones that I've watched this one is by far the most horrific, with one of the guys, Rick, gradually losing his mind due to the heat and extreme conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvNbsi4aDuk

I found this dude due to their Dead Mall series of filming and sometimes breaking into closing or shuttered shopping centers. Didn't know if that would qualify for this thread, though. (Flip around the channel. Guy is a pretty good hand with a camera and does a few things.)

Terrible Opinions posted:A funny bitcoin story copy pasted in the bitcoin mock thread. Bitcoiner goes to Brazil, masturbates onto a sleeping twelve year old, and gets run out of town. Bitcoiner then posts story to reddit thanking bitcoin for helping him to get home from this situation. Bitcoiner appears to think this makes him look good. I actually looked it up just before you posted, and I think I remember the story being being brought up once on an episode of RetsuTalk. I would just like it if Spoony would do a Counter Monkey video or riff on an FMV game every now and then.

Worse than reading blowfly girl. I love Oliver Harpers retrospectives of tv-series and movies. Here's one on the live action Robocop tv-series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXeh0M-wzdA There's usually a trailer for whatever the thing is in the first part of the video. Go to around 3.30 if you want to skip it in this one.

Speaking of meltdowns related to internet critics, the official subreddit for Cinemassacre/AVGN recently went through a bunch of drama after it was revealed that Mike Matei (who is the head mod of the sub) was brazenly abusing his power and generally making bad decisions (including posting dick pics to the subreddit with his official moderator account and doing a livestream on the official Cinemassacre Youtube channel while so drunk he couldn't finish the first level of Super Mario Brothers). Details in these /r/subredditdrama posts: 1, 2.
