Reminds me how Donoteat one had to remake his discord server because somehow the last one got taken over by Maoists

New discord is nice at least

Also see there is some discourse coming from breadtube about how we should put energy in deradicalizing Nazis; honestly better spending that energy in radicalizing liberals and making leftist spaces less white cis men.

Strong start, started losing steam, Covid hit, writing stayed shaky but fun, strong ending (imo).
Amazing suits though and good action.

Oh okay lol, just worried because it seems like every other day someones trying to cancel the MceIlroys over something or other. There aren't 2000 new posts in the other worst thread on these forums so looks like I'm safe to continue using my awful travis avatar for now (if it does happen Travis is deffo the one who gets them cancelled lol).

Still a weird line of attack, like they're kinda known for having a pretty big queer fanbase I thought?

It has been a while since the part of their fanbase that secretly hates them tried to cancel them over something ridiculous and minor, hasn't it?

I think you'll find she was being a real karren to that poor employee and he should have been allowed to peddle snakeoil in peace.

Was that before or after Travis had to cancel his appearance at Harry Potter camp?

There was also a todo about some artists for one of their books getting dogshit compensation from their publisher recently too, but they paid the artists out of their own pocket almost immediately an negotiated better terms with their publisher going forward.

One nice thing about the Mcellroy fandom is that if they ever do something actually heinous I am garanteed to hear about it very quickly. Its obnoxious sometimes but also when real problems are brought up in twitter callouts they tend to actually address the issue like with the publisher thing so it's probably a good thing overall.

The most recent was the stuff with the publishers that most people agreed they handled really well.

And then a certain subset of fans were furious that they didn't basically run their own publishing company so they could constantly monitor every singe thing they do on top of running a podcast empire and having families.

It is good that fans feel comfortable to bring problems up to them directly and they always address fan concerns. Most fans are perfectly reasonable and don't expect them to be perfect, it's just a small subset that is very loud and seems like they only hang around in hopes to be the one who finally brings down these podcasters who keep seeming to be genuinely decent people. But enough about the Facebook groups.

I subscribe to his patreon but had only been in the discord once or twice. Log in one day to find out it’s no longer his discord, but a full on Marxist thing. He sent out a new link via patreon a few days later with very little commentary on what happened other than that he didn’t control the original discord. Weird situation.

From what I understand the Maoists were quiet and got elected mods whereupon they went full bore taking over the discord.

Oh yeah I forgot the comic stuff, that was lovely of the publisher. It was good that those boys paid those artists and fixed it.

Thematic mess but incredible production value and while COVID hosed up the production they tried really hard to stick the landing anyway. There's an epilogue movie in Japan this month that could be a further mess or address a lot of issues but we won't really know until it hits home video and gets fansubbed.

Not having watched or listened to anything by the Ellroys, my issue with the avatar is that I find it repulsive looking. I mean, it doesn't make me ill to the point of vomiting, but the way the artist (or the photo filter) highlights the strands of hair makes me gag a little whenever I see it.

I appreciate them for remaining interesting micro-documentaries about the high and low points of rescuing stray animals and caring for feral cats who wouldn't be able to acclimate to indoor pet life. Most of the youtube channels in that genre of "sad animal rescue rehab stories" tend to lean in hard on melodramatics or saccharine stuff that makes for good clickbait to drive donations that kind of overwhelms anything else. Flatbrush focuses more on being useful demonstrations of how to care for rescued strays and give advice for starting similar in-home rescues or trap and release projects.

Well, I tried toggling the power on my monitor, but with it off (as far as I can tell), I can't see anything, just slight reflections of light from the room. I think it's because it's one of those LCD screens designed to reduce glare.

I tried looking in a mirror, but all the mirrors in my house are broken, which leads me to believe I'm living in some kind of virtual construct, but they can't do real-time reflections, else the simulation will crash.

Broadly agree, but there's probably some gains to be made by a few people actively working on deradicalisation. I'm not gonna do it, and there's no way I'd ask someone to do it, but if someone wants to put the effort in then good for them.
