I lost track of the Bunny Perspective guy after watching a video of his where the central argument was “If Michael Jackson had to molest some kids to make his music, then it was worth it.” That was... shocking to see the notMax puppet say and nod to, like it was obvious wisdom.

Huh, there's a guy I know who basically does the same thing, alternating between podcasts, fanbook projects and youtube channels, he's done easily over a dozen combined, but he very rarely gets past episode 2 of any of his projects. And beause he switches he completely rebrands his social media. So even if you liked the guy personally good luck remembering him.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:The most notable thing about Dr. Horrible is that the commentary track is a musical about the hollywood writers’ guild strike, which Whedon was super supportive of and went around the country lecturing about, that ends with him admitting it was a huge failure that didn’t get anything for anyone. Also one of the writers sings a song about how the only roles she can get when acting are scientist or computer programmer because she’s an asian woman who wears glasses, and then later I recognized her on Dollhouse where she played a computer programmer. Dr. horrible's sing along was when I reached Peak Whedon and never was able to stomach his style quite the same afterward. It's cute and a bit funny, but it's also the apotheosis of the Whedon Whiplash. "Oh look, it's all funny, colorful cartoony stuff, the hero is giving the villain a power wedgie! What delighful hijin...Oh gently caress _that_ explosion was realistic all of a sudden! She has -shrapnel- piercing her lungs and is drowning in her own BLOOD! Killed by the LIES of the one who loved her!!"

Then I heard he had a giant meltdown and was fired from Chez Apoc and was like “yeah, sounds about right.”

FoldableHuman posted:Not as his core content, but a big part of the reason we split from him was that he just would not stop picking fights with other producers and their fans. He had this huge chip on his shoulder over the fact that he never got recruited by TGWTG and used anything resembling success as an excuse to, like, throw himself a custom "How Do You Like Them Apples, Doug?!" parade. Actually looking at his channel now, it looks like he doesn't do the bunny perspective anymore. At least the Isle of Rangoon keeps the puppets, and those guys now do riffs. Granted they do some reviews mainly looking at characters from video games and reviewing deadly games episodes, but still.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:I’m glad the imperative to play a character in order to do analysis has mostly withered away. It seems like inheritance from James Rolfe, who also shouldn’t have done it, that got oversimplified into a way of excusing preposterous, thoughtless hyperbole, and for a while I could really see some producers chafing under the obligation. Like, “version of myself who’s a thoughtless jerk or who cares too much about something I actually care about” is needlessly confusing and only necessary if a person can’t produce a nuanced perspective (or is forced by economic reality to pander to 14-year-olds who won’t accept nuance). A lot of reviewers play a character because it helps create a barrier between themselves and the criticism that is inherit in being a youtuber. I know Octavius Kitten has said so much about her persona. She's already getting sick of it too. Folks like the AVGN are stuck in their characters. I don't know if there is a public facing breakdown of which Rolfe's video get the most videos, but I'd be willing to bet he's pretty sick of the character and keeps doing it simply because its what pays the bills. I think he does probably enjoy the production side of it and part of the reason behinds his elaborate skits is that it scratches his filmmaker itch. Folks like Olly do characters, I think partially, because he's an actor so it helps keep process of making this videos fun for him. Of course he's also good at it. Despite his bad takes regarding Bailey, there are things I like that Coffin says, particularly in his Adversaries series... but he needs to stop his skits. They aren't funny and his acting is stiff and cheesy. tl,rl: People who are good at skits should keep doing them. People who are bad at them should stop.

The actual content of the video is pretty good especially since some of that came out after the #ChangeTheChannel movement came and gone, including Brad Jones' utter lack of giving a hoot. On the other hand it feels like I've seen 4 videos on ChangeTheChannel now. QuintonReviews had one of the best.

Those CA collapse summary videos seem unseemly to me. I guess it’s good to document what happened if it would otherwise be forgotten, but they generally seem exploitative and don’t do a lot other than describe what happened and offer disapproval. Sarah Z did one and looked at people’s twitter subscriptions in order to speculate about who was still friends with who. For me it all just ends up on the wrong side of treating living people’s lives like serialized drama, especially the speculation about what people might do next or about what might have happened in private between people. It’s the burden of celebrity dropped onto regular people who lack the resources to protect themselves from celebrity. Also there’s always going to be an uptick in targeted harassment whenever any kind of internet drama gets attention. I don’t give a poo poo about Doug Walker or whoever, but I don’t like the idea of people’s mothers getting swatted or declared dead or whatever hosed-up gamergate weapons people deploy on innocents for no reason.

I didn't want to do anything more on the subject after the Justin Carmical revelations came out. That was just painful - to think he was such a respected member of the community, someone so many of us grieved for and for all that to be exposed about exactly what kind of person he was...at that point it was just best left for people closer to it to offer up their thoughts, if they could/were willing. Pat the NES Punk had a good podcast about it as I recall (being that he worked with Justin at Retroware, and nope - CA didn't think to tell Retroware anything about what they'd found either which is pretty disgusting seeing as that meant he got to go to more events)

It also reminds me of the horror Youtubers who like to make videos about disappearances and murders and real tragedies. It's not necessarily wrong to do true crime stuff, but the juxtaposition with their dumb ARG analysis poo poo and their propensity for treating everything like a puzzle box makes it feel really tasteless. Doubly so when it's like... a Youtuber who disappeared or something bad (at least allegedly) happened to and it's like "uh... you're literally capitalizing on a tragedy that happened to one of your peers?" It's why drama videos in general, especially about semi-recent events or private individuals, always rub me the wrong way.

This is something Nick Nocturne has done occasionally. I forget which video but I remember he's talking about some ARG thing or something and then all of the sudden he namedrops that guy who shot up Sandy Hook without changing his tone at all and it's like you're a cartoon interdimensional cat, you do not need to get that real.

Plus, when you find out this CV guy used to talk about raping one of Doug's sidekicks (Tamara?) for lulz...yeesh. The many vids about CTC by those who weren't there have been appallingly desperate, save maybe Quinton's. A bunch of wannabe Keemstars using this document for views and not offering anything of their own.
