I remember reading maddox when I was like 15 and thinking he was loving awesome as hell but then I stopped reading as I got older because there was other better poo poo on the internet like SA.

then someone posts a youtube of his like 12 years after that and hes this weird little dude with dark sunken eyes and a high pitched voice and it all made loving sense why he was carrying on about being so manly and awesome and badass - because he absolutely was not any of those things at all.

Youtube exposed that his whole thing is literally an act and the internet left him behind and it owns.

Maddox was ruined for me because I read Seanbaby for years before I knew he existed, and Seanbaby was actually funny so the other main edgy late 90s/early 2000s comedy personalty didn't click

Maddox was never funny or good or worthy. Even Something Awful kind of took his style of poo poo and made it funnier

ArbitraryC posted:

I got bored reading halfway down the lawsuit but it looks like maddox is generally claiming that a dude who cohosted with him used their brand to lambaste him and sold iconography representing him, his girlfriend, and his website in a negative way for money. Like if 4chan tried to monetize entirely off being "not something awful" and frequently used the logos with an x mark through them to gain recognition.

I don't know the whole backstory and how much merit his claim has, but there's the brief tldr.

It looks like the short summary is he is claiming someone he worked with made a career out of using his name and website in a negative manner. He is trying to claim they exploited his brand to an extent where it hurt him and benefited them enough to sue for monetary damages.

I dunno it sounds dumb to me but it's nothing complicated and should probably have been included in the rss OP.

Idk, Maddox may have an actual case depending on how brazen those idiots were in stealing his brand. The article in the op doesn't talk about specifics much though because I don't think he actually cares about the case except to show how above it he is.

Wasn’t Dick Masterson the guy whose entire schtick was “all women are slutty subhumans here for man’s amusement,” back when that could conceivably be a comedy gimmick persona and not just any given poster on the world’s most popular message board?

IIRC, he somehow conned his way into the Tyra Banks show and Tyra about had an aneurysm on national television from taking the obvious af bait so hard.

Yeah, although that was a paid act prearranged with the shows producers. I think afterwards he just got a little too into that persona.

I liked some of the poo poo that maddux did, but it got old after a while. Also I was in a nerd frat in college. And one of the guys bought the manliness book and then basically read it out loud on the front porch. poo poo was awful on many levels.
