TGWTG The Spoony One / Spoony / Noah Antwiler and Rachel Baker / @RaeAngel07 - The touching romance between a washed-up videogame reviewer throwing a decade-long pity party and his delusional Canuck stalker. #weaknotsick #donttellmehowtosulk

[RJ MacReady]

Spitballing here, but I suspect that the verdict made him sad.

He's constantly threatening to commit an Elliot Rodger. I think he knows better than to wade into this debate.

To his credit, Spoony's always been more nuanced on the topic of self-defence because of Miles. If I had to guess he probably does hate Rittenhouse and believe the mainstream media narratives but I think there's some part of him that thinks of Miles in cases like this. He's clearly way too checked out to care though.

He's always talking about getting a gun and cleaning the streets.

Again, this is why I don't understand him becoming a leftie and bashing Trump like a typical SJW. I mean, many of his early hot takes on media ranged from "he doesn't buy liberal bullshit" to "outright fucking offensive to the SJW crowd". Him trying to fit in with them is like, a dude who eats bacon cheeseburgers trying to fit in with Muslims or Hindus. Many of his early reviews were all about taking the piss out of something people considered sacred, using language and mannerisms that were anything but politically correct, such as the "gay, gay, sissy gay" thing in FF8, his bondage joke towards JesuOtaku, or his whining about how white guilt movies like Avatar were bullshit that equals Ferngully in their stupidity.

I can see a bunch of college-age fratboys who vote Republican all the time loving that shit, and then suddenly being surprised to see in 2016 that the man they've been enjoying so far turned out to be such a lefty. I don't know if it's girl issues, or him trying to fit in, but he got booted from TGWTG long before Trump came to power, so I don't know who he was trying to fit in with.

The old Spoony I knew back from 2009 would be the kind of guy who would side with Rittenhouse. Modern Spoony would probably whine about Rittenhouse going free and call it an injustice while somehow relating it to his whining about Orange Man.

Damn, he really is bipolar. I can't find another reason why, other than maybe, trying to use liberalism as a pussy pass.

I think that the main reason he became a leftie is because it let him complain and be sad to his heart's content. Republicans have at least some things that they're proud/happy about whereas for Democrats everything is sad and depressing and awful. I don't think Noah is (or was) political , I just think it was an outlet for him to be so very sad and deep and depressed and misunderstood (and so on)

A hypocrite to the end.

Yeah you gotta save that shit for your therapist or the boys when you're drunk after watching football all day.

No wonder he's single. Honestly, I’d ghost the hell out of a woman who emotion-dumped on me while barely knowing who I was.

 

[Jan Ciągwa]

People don't make sense and hold multiple contradicting opinions. In Spoony's case its just him trying to be hip with the cool kids of the current year. Wait a decade or so, he'll be swearing up and down he was always at war with Eastasia. That and he's still mad they made fun of him for playing satanic DnD in high school. His politics were liberal leftist during the 90s, now they'd make him a far righter.

Thirsty nerd will agree with anything if he thinks it'll make him more popular with ladies. It's not exclusive to guys BTW.

That, and the right has this whole idea of "nut up, or shut up". An idea Spoony would disapprove of. The right-wing would tell Spoony that he should get off his ass, get back to working on a trade, and stop complaining. Spoony, on the other hand, wants to mooch off pity donations while whining about how bad he has it.

 

[RJ MacReady]

I think some of you are forgetting that Spoony was always liberal - enough so that he wrote about resenting his religious conservative family as early as 2007 - and in the 2000s it was just normal for young liberals like Noah to be countercultural and anti-PC, which at that time had a different context and direction. His sort of political progression from a Bush-era Dem to a seething, puritanical prog in the 2010s ended up being very common.

With Spoony in particular though I think the social media addiction came first. It replaced his need to create content, and then it replaced his need to think for himself.

 

[Jan Ciągwa]

Which is funny because when Spoony was still young and vigorous that was more or less his stance, too. Once he got too old to live like a college dorm slacker off Mountain Dew and pizza grease and stay healthy, #depression and doctor bills mysteriously appeared out of nowhere.

I'd have thought that such sentiments would have landed him in the modern right-leaning skeptic groups, who were atheist, but not SJWs. Shit, that group has lots of old D&D fans who hated the religious right, as well as the left that tried to encroach on their hobby.

Yes, that does seem likely. It's probably Twitter that turned him into a dyed-in-the-wool SJW.

Dawkins and his crew? They want to glass the middle east.

Converting Marxist contrarians to rightoids. It isn't very hard to do.

Random morning shit thought of the day:

LordKat had diabetes, high blood pressure, bad heart because he made Sean Fausz look like a Hohocaust survivor, anger issues and depression because his dad died and his mom was an useless cunt he had to take care of, also he wasn't even 1/10 as popular as Spoony was during his Until we Whatever glory days. Somehow he took care of all those problems and found himself a stable career as a corporate IT streaming expert.

Maybe Spoony suffered a heatstroke too far binge watching MST3k inside a metal shed on a scorching Arizona desert and it broke something in his brain?

When LordKat of all people manages to have a respectable and stable career and Spoony doesn't, it really says something about Spoony.

No. Spoony is just that lazy. His most productive years were times when Miles, Scarlett, or the other TGWTG members were there to kick him in the ass and force him to get working. Now that they're not there anymore, Spoony has gone full Jabba the Hutt and just sits around. Except even worse, since the actual Jabba still handled financial matters for his criminal empire while putting girls in skimpy outfits, so there's something even Jabba has over Spoony.

Again, others would tell him to "nut up or shut up", but he keeps moping about how bad he has it, while mooching off the last few people who give him money.

I assume the whole Spoony Experiment happened despite Spoony's best attempts to do his worst, dude wanted to be a comedian (his jokes came exclusively from quoting some stupid obscure SyFy channel garbage-bin shows), a TV star actor (good luck at that with a broken brain unable to handle any pressure), and probably a fucking comic book superhero judging from those embarassing Hal Jordan tweets.

Parents fucked him up by not taking away his Highlander fanfics in time and tell him to grow up, I'm afraid.

If you look back at his history, Spoony never actually tried to work towards his goal of being an actor or writer. The video asking his fans to get him on Fallon is the most sincere effort he ever showed.

I think for the longest time he believed that The Spoony Experiment would eventually convert to a mainstream showbiz career, and when it became clear it wasn't working out that way it influenced his bitterness. But there are clues that he still clings to it, like his insane assertion that he can't cut his hair because he might need it for a role.

 

[Captain Syrup]

his insane assertion that he can't cut his hair because he might need it for a role.

...hold on a minute. He cited the off-chance that he'll run into Guillermo del Toro? You mean that wasn't just a meme?

Guillermo del Toro shoots attacker at gas station

While making a stop over in Phoenix Arizona, film director Guillermo del Toro was attacked by a street vagrant and fired 6 shots into his skull. del Toro was in town for the release of his new film, when he went to fill his car up with gas at a local gas station. While chatting with fans, a vagrant lurched from the shadows and rushed towards him. Noah Antwiler, 45, of no fixed address, has been known to locals as a homeless person with several run ins with the law for public intoxication. Screaming "Betrayal! You betrayed me" he lurched towards del Toro with what looked like a knife. Del Toro then fired into the man, killing him instantly with one bullet lodged into his skull. Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio was in the area, and after firing an additional two rounds into the now prone Antwiler, commented on the situation. "That man is a hero. He saved a lot of lives that day. Who knows what could have happened if he had no decided to fire on him?"
Investigators later determined that the knife was actually a crude business card fashioned out of cardboard with Antwiler's name, age, and listing himself as a "Actor / Writer / Filmmaker / Blogger / Comedian / Critic / Gamer / Mad Scientist". Among his meager possessions was found what looked like a diary formatted like a twitter page containing his complaints about the world.

I always laugh when he arrogantly asks "How many movies have you been in?" The only "movies" this clown has been in were by Cinema Snob and the Nostalgia Critic. And those were all over glorified Film School Projects.

His first instinct in all situations is to start throwing punches. It doesn't pay to talk sense with him.

He's definitely thin skinned.

So his reasoning for not cutting his hair is because "when you're auditioning..." but he's not auditioning but maybe he'll run into Guillermo del Toro who will see him and say "I need someone to play greasy basement virgin with reverse widows peak #2, you're perfect!"

I can't even parse what type of mental illness this is
