So what are the odds Doug is clueless about this? Like, is he just super oblivious, or do Mike and Rob work to keep him insulated from most of what goes on behind the scenes?

Doug is, from all accounts, both clueless and incredibly incurious, so I don't think Rob and Mike need to work that hard to keep him locked out out the loop. That said, if he's managed to stay ignorant of anything that's happened over the past two weeks by anything but sheer conscious will, I would be be floored.

Doug strikes me as the kind of tone-deaf dipshit who thinks he's playing "good cop" next to Rob and Michaud every time there's a conflict.

Is there a word for when you're actively trying to be oblivious, cutting yourself from all paths of information so that you can maintain even a flimsy veneer of deniability? Obliviating? Denialous? Shirktration?

Tony's initial sentiment, that there's clearly people piggybacking the hashtag because they're vindictive assholes who just want to see Channel Awesome burn because they hate Doug and have zero concern for anyone involved, it's not inaccurate. Like, yeah, a lot of Gators are in the mix thinking that this constitutes revenge, or proves that SJWs ruin everything, or just see it as an opportunity for chaos. Jim (Metokur/Internet Aristocrat) has used it as an opportunity to whip up his harassment brigade, so there's a pretty decent amount of garbage going around. I've definitely had to toss out some pretty liberal blocks this week, and some other producers have found their Twitter basically unusable as a result. The "funny" thing with Jackula is that I never knew he had a hate boner for me in specific. I'd muted him months before my GamerGate video went up because he kept posting and retweeting porn.

DoctorGonzo1969 posted:I think you mean Count Jackula, right? I watched a couple of his videos, I thought he was alright until I heard of him blasting Dan Olson for the Ghostbusters reboot controversy. Something about Dan calling James Rolfe a misogynist and Jackula getting pissed off about it. I remember he'd left the day after going on some Twitter tirade about how him and Horror Guru were the only two people on Channel Awesome supporting PewDiePie. It was over this tweet I believe: https://twitter.com/FoldableHuman/status/732633970660114432 business hammocks posted:Yeah, that's him. He ends his video by saying that Dan was an underhanded sneak for writing an article about how 8chan was full of child pornography, because he was really going after gamergate but did it by trying to take away their website instead of just criticizing them openly. He also repeats the 4chan talking point of Dan being a pedophile for writing an article about 8chan being full of child pornography. He seems like an incredibly bitter person who has never forgotten a single slight, no matter how small or imagined. I do remember watching that video (assuming this is the one you're referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ax_VuO3JI). I rewatched it because I didn't recall him bringing that up, and he doesn't say anything like that. I don't follow Jackula, though, so maybe he said it in a different video. He also brought up Devin Faraci's tweet about James. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Apr 8, 2018 |

It wasn’t very good. Not the worst thing, but Paul Feig was the worst choice to do it. Ghostbusters needs tight scripting and well thought out comedy over improv riffs that go nowhere. The cast is fine.

Ghostbusters 2 sucks. I never realized it until I had a Harold Ramis stream when he died and Jay showed up to watch and started pointing out all this stuff and it’s like, oh dang. I never really watched it much. Mostly the first one all the time. GB2 when it came on TV.

Yeah, could we not post really awful explicit abuse and harassment? Like a lot of the stuff is really stupid and easy to laugh at, but explicit, targeted, harassment about sensitive topics can be really exasperating for people even before taking into account that some of the targeted individuals read this thread.

It was just forgettably bad instead of being interestingly bad or entertainingly bad or even just plain awful. If a movie can just be described as bad by most normal people than don't waste any thoughts on it.

All the ridiculous takes, from the worst of the great chudgentsia saying that it was the end of civilization as we know it to others putting it up on some awesome pedestal...like, mate - it's just a kinda crap movie. Not even poo poo, just crap.

I quite like GB16, I put in on par with GB2, which I also like. Both films are pretty flawed (it's actually astounding how close GB2 mimics the structure and incident of the first) but I think they're fine. Just fine.

Max Wilco posted:There was a Ducktales reboot? Case in point. I was just talking about movies, but the basic argument remains the same. Basically, none of these reboots managed to get the same amount of popcultural significance their predecessors got. All they managed was a brief flash of interest when they were released, that turned into resignation once the audience figured out that it wasn't actually a continuation of whatever they loved about the original one, but just a texture slapped onto a bland, 2010 style Hollywood blockbuster.

Wouldn't we have to wait for 20 years to judge this? Remember, some stuff only got popculturally relevant long after it flopped horribly.
