Sephyr posted:I remember that mailed fist of misandry and radicalism, the Spice Girls. Andrea Dworkin had nothing on those firebrands! It's a wonder the establishment survived at all. Well you see, by repeating the line "Girls we run this motha, girls. Who run the world? Girls" Beyonce lets slip that she's part of the insidious postmodern liberal feminist agenda who desire nothing more to make all non-beta men into castrati. Actual loving thing a dude I knew back in college vomited into my ear once, because we asked him to stop refering to a girl as a "sandwich machine"

I might be misinterpreting him here, because I deeply resent having to watch that IHE video anymore than I already have, but when he complains about the hamfisted feminist message he somewhat comes across as dismissive of the idea that problems arising from gender inequality exist. Also he uses SJW unironically.

But yeah, I hated the way he started talking about it there.

GoneRampant posted:Let's start with "all of them" and work our way down from there. In terms of his actual production, it always struck me that he did so many reviews after other TGWTG people did them. Someone did the math once and he did ten movies right after MikeJ did them for Shameful Sequels, and he stole Mike's video premise of defending the prequels. Not hard to see why Mike felt like he was ignored by CA. Was that before or after people agreed that "Reviewer dibs" was a dumb thing?

Bad Wolf posted:As far as I know, CA didn't own League of Super Critics, that was a Maker Studios thing. Lindsey can correct me if I'm wrong, as she was part of that particular clusterfuck too. LOSC was def owned by Maker. That said, in terms of in-joke burns made towards Channel Awesome, not a single one was with regard to Maker (now Disney Digital) related decisions - pretty much all, even the good-natured ones, can all be directly traced to Doug.

Pants Donkey posted:The sad thing about "dibs" is that it makes sense from the perspective of a hack. You're largely riding on the shock/weirdness factor of the movie itself because you as an entertainer offer very little that some other screaming idiot going for the easiest jokes can't provide. So once somebody has seen Food Fight or those weird Tom & Jerry crossover movies from someone, the chances them seeing it from someone else are significantly lower. It also does make some sense when you're "working for" a central content hub. Polygon doesn't publish 6 reviews of Far Cry 5 just because they have a dozen writers who all want to hit that iron while it's hot. Now, this is almost entirely an optical illusion, because Channel Awesome isn't actually a central hub, it's just an aggregator. There's no central planning, no editorial guidance, so of course the dozen adjacent channels were going to overlap substantially. These threads already had a definite phase of "it's that time of year, brace yourself for the Transformers Vlogs" during the later stages of Blip.

Hope Doug and the gang are having fun at that convention ! https://twitter.com/CallunaReviews/status/982691245762859008 From this she mentions that the top management actually were planning an anniversary special but it had been canceled as of...today I guess? Maybe it had been decided earlier and they just hadn't told anyone else on the site yet. Which is normal to hear by this point. It's a really smart thing to cancel said movie actually, I can just imagine how tone deaf the final product would actually be if it was just the Walkers and the handful of contributors they'd have left by the time it went up.

This is kinda a new level of 'John is a hateful misogynist creep' to a lot of folks even in the know, though.
