DEEP STATE PLOT posted:did you miss the parts where he continually harasses his former friend allison pregler (lupa) and has sent his fanbase to attack her after making up poo poo like being swatted. That's why I said it was depressing to see that. Seemed being the key word.

Alacron posted:Only thing I've heard about it since I unfollowed him was that he makes jokes about CTC and Lupa. Basically being the same kind of petty rear end in a top hat he outed himself as months ago. I read a Twitter thread of somebody watching it live, and it's very much a ham-fisted response to CTC and his detractors. And as they point out since Doug is in it that's the closest you'll ever get to him addressing the issue again.

I recommend his yearly 'Canucksploitation-a-thon' where he focuses on Canadian horror flicks. He also has some really good Godzilla reviews, which means a lot of his comments are 'NEXT GODZILLA WHEN' which while he enjoys doing them Toho is about the worst when it comes to flagging your stuff so I can't blame him for not rushing to do them all. Brandon was my first exposure to the animated flick Felidae which... is certainly a thing.

It's got a ton of genre actors doing their thing and Billy Zane just devouring every bit of scenery he can get his ravenous jaws on. Glorious. You can skip Bordello of Blood, though, unless you're some kind of odd Dennis Miller completionist.

When Another Snob Movie was is the funding stages, before CTC happened, it was billed as a roadtrip movie with strong horror elements. I was considering chipping in enough to get a copy but horror isn't really my bag so I skipped it. So, yeah, it sucks that he couldn't even deliver the movie he promised his backers too. In addition to being an all-around jerkface.

It was a drat shame to hear what happened with Brad. I was willing to defend him back when I thought it was just about him leaving CA, and when I heard about the swatting incident, but then all that other stuff came to light and that certainly changed my view of the situation. I do still believe the swatting incident was real though, and it sucks, but it’s also no excuse for what he did. Being a victim doesn’t entitle someone to lash out like a complete rear end in a top hat and victimize others.

The American obsession with free speech as an end unto itself that has inherent moral value whenever performed has done a real number on people. (The point of speech protection is that it allows meaningful discourse, but since American culture is presently incapable of that it has turned into moist-eyed reverence for anyone making fart noises into a microphone.)

I can believe cops would get aggressive with anyone who didn’t fit their exact idea of what they were expecting or immediately submit and cower before them, but yeah that story makes no sense. Also Brad Jones seems like the exact kind of guy cops would intuitively like and get along with, unless maybe they saw his movie collection and thought he was some kind of pervert.

The last decade has really tarnished that old "I'll defend to the death your right to say poo poo I don't agree with" chestnut when getting shot here in the States in a mass shooting by a lone gunman can seem more likely than ever before. Like twenty years ago you'd be like "Well I'm just glad statistically this will never happen to me" and now it's like "poo poo who's gonna take of my pets and family if I get shot at this event?"

Moving on from an organization that willingly destroys the lives of others (8chan) to one that just did it through sheer incompetence, today's Jimquisition started with an aside about how everyone who was registered at E3 ended up getting doxxed because the ESA- the video game industry's lobbying arm that also runs the convention- was stupid as hell. I'm not sure of the specifics of how it happened, but that may very well be the worst-ever mass data breach I've ever heard of due to the vital info that ended up going public. gently caress.

https://twitter.com/GIBiz/status/1158505291467673600 The ESA situation is even worse, because it turns out that previous years info was still accessible via archives. This is a systematic practice at the ESA, not a onetime mistake. edit: and the privacy policy of the ESA is so full of loopholes that the ESA might have thought it could put the list up publicly. The video blow explores the privacy policy and what bits might be relevant in a lawsuit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNA2xRNwq4s Pharohman777 fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Aug 6, 2019 |

What makes the situation even stupider is that after the journalist who broke the story, Sophia narwitz was told by the ESA they took the information down she checked that it was down via the website and published the story. But the ESA never took the excel spreadsheet off the server, so cached versions of the page and archive.org versions still linked to the info. So the file on the server was taken down after the story broke and kiwifarms and others had ready downloaded it. And now it turns out that they still personal information and such from prior years on their server, also accessible by the wayback machine. And they only took down those older files today. The ESA is an utter shitshow security-wise.
