TGWTG Nostalgia Chick / Lindsay Ellis / TheDudette - aka Hotdogs in face girl

[Rotter]

You shouldn't have said bad things about that ching chong chinaman-woman film, Lindsay

'Raya And The Last Dragon' was a knockoff of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

I don't know what any of those words mean.
But, that's all it takes.

I give her a month at best, two months at worst.

SJWs need big platforms with which to stand on and rant about whatever in order to gather and crowd and feel important. Twitter seems like the kind of place to do that, but there, her ranting can get ratioed, or used as evidence against her, or blocked; she can be silenced there. But on YouTube, she has a consistent audience with which to take in all that praise and adoration and feeds her dopamine addiction better than even Twitter can do. Plus, her fans can share her shit to wherever.

Basically, YouTube makes her SJW talking points feel like they have more weight because it shared on a video-based platform. On Twitter, she's just another typical dime-a-dozen NPC account. So she's lkely coming back.

Honestly, I disagree. She might be gone for good. I'm 80% sure of it. The Patreon post about her retirement had her casually mentioning she shat blood out of nowhere so I can see this being a spur of the moment thing instead of something she planned. But mostly, it's because her dreams outside of Youtube has failed. Her first book tanked, and her second tanked even harder. Nobody even knows she did a documentary. She clearly wanted to be famous outside of the Internet and now that's gone. And like I said before, her cultivated audience can cancel her so she has nothing/nobody to fall back on, not even her hick family she disowned. And I wanna point out too, this series of events all happened in 2021, which she considers her worst year despite being otherwise silent for the most part. So while she doesn't mention the books in her post, I can completely believe the books' performance affected her more than she lets on.

Edit: I just wanna say that if it is purely because of Twitter, then yeah, it's a lot more pathetic than I figured.

 

[ShitInMyMouth]

Why didn’t she just quit Twitter? Twitter has been the source of all her problems and just by removing her account the dangerhairs would have no power over her and most likely forget she existed.

There is little to no money to be made on Twitter, but careers can be completely lost on it. I know she said when she left Twitter for 5 minutes she’d need to be back to promote her books but she could have easily have had a wider impact mentioning them in her videos.

I’ve mentioned it before but it seems like she has a new job with a contract prohibiting her from appearing on other platforms and this martyrdom is an advertising campaign leading up to its reveal.

I kinda liked her as a fellow high functioning alcoholic but all this has me on team Fuck This Bitch.

I hope her new venture blows up in her face and the Patreon simps realise it’s not OnlyFans and cancel their subs when they find out they will never get n00dz.

Well, maybe she could try shilling some random cryptocurrency, like oh so many influencers do. I'm pretty sure the Twitter audience won't even care about her cancellation and will just see dollar signs.

Lindsay Ellis has left the chat. New member Carole Hansen joins lol.

I'm genuinely curious to learn more about the behind the scenes fallout of this shitshow. Not so much the what, it was inevitable that Lindsay burnt out, but the timing of it. Jumping back on Twitter after months away and publicly declaring it was strictly for business only to cry loudly in public, followed by telling Tom Scott to take down his video is...weird. Her specifically mentioning in her tweet to Scott that to feature Jill Bearup was as validating as Standard (the agent/management arm of Nebula) onboarding her as a client is important and deserves more scrutiny IMO. A lot of this has already been mentioned in the thread but I want to collate it in a single post.

Thanks to other Kiwis for noting that Jill Bearup was an old friend of Lindsay's, part of Chez Apocalypse and Channel Awesome 2014-2018 as Sursum Ursa with her show Stuff You Like. Bearup became persona non grata to the wokies in 2017 after a blog post (archive here) in which she was opposed to trannies attacking a 60yo woman at Speakers Corner (it's a British thing, basically a public square) and was opposed to general troon tyranny at the expense of women. A snippet:

How terrible, burn the terf.

She was hastily unpersoned by the Chez clique yet remained with CA until leaving amidst the #CTC drama. At some point (hard to find details) she was managed by Standard and her content was on Nebula until she resigned from Standard due to troon tears over her recent fight scene video with Tom Scott. It's so recent that as I type she still lists jillbearup@standard.tv as her business email. Scott released a statement on December 27th 2021 about why he would work with a problematic like Bearup (she's good at what she does? idk). And Lindsay just had to involve herself.

Keep in mind that Lindsay has been part of Nebula since its inception and went public with being managed by Dave Wiskus, CEO of Standard and Nebula, after the Twitter Controversy. So she responded to Tom Scott posting about his new video with this pompous moralizing:
View attachment 2837551
No one tagged Lindsay in to the convo, she chose to jump in the fray and wokescold Tom Scott for...what? Why did she start spontaneously lecturing a fellow content producer, virtue signaling what a savior of the trannies she is and talking shit about her management team? Then not 24 hours after this sideways cancel-y pile-on instigation, she dramatically releases her own Goodbye, Internet screed. It's a mess of idpol buzzwords where she drags in trans issues repeatedly, blames ciswhiteheteronormativeMEN for all the bad the wokies have made her feel and specifically mentions that while she was going to just make content for Nebula in the future, she's not even going to do that.



Always a victim, is Ms. Ellis. There are no safe spaces for woman creators on the Internet! But vagueposting like this is unnecessary and hints of behind the scenes drama, possibly instigated by her just like at every other business she's been a part of. She is simply too pure a progressive, creative force to be subjected to the cruel machinations of a company like Nebula lol. If not for the last line there, it could be simply passed off as a continuation of her burnout, but the detail bit means it's something else. Sounds like that bridge was burned too.

I find it funny she’s wary of Nebula. It seems like her perfect hugbox. And she can bring the Chez Apocalypse crew with her since they have the same intellectual approach to their videos that seem groundbreaking to Reddit users and high schoolers.

Why didn’t she just quit Twitter? Twitter has been the source of all her problems and just by removing her account the dangerhairs would have no power over her and most likely forget she existed.

I think it was said earlier in the thread that when you delete your Twitter account, you have 30 days to change your mind before it’s gone for good. She’s probably keeping it because she just HAS to control everything about her image.

The Patreon post about her retirement had her casually mentioning she shat blood out of nowhere so I can see this being a spur of the moment thing instead of something she planned.

I wonder if that's even true. Either she's so assblasted she gave herself cancer or more likely she's being super dramatic over something like a hemorrhoid. That or her drinking is so extreme it's actually pickling her colon. Or she's so full of shit it perforates her anus on the way out.

I wonder why she thought people needed to know this gross fact.

 

[timewave0]

The internet loses another noted braphog. Has cancel culture finally gone too far?

See, it's such an out of nowhere factoid about herself that makes me think she wrote it on a whim because otherwise, she'd try to present herself as dignified, this is a rare and weird anecdote for her that I think at least that part wasn't something she planned.

 

[skykiii]

So many retards in this thread screeching about hypocrisy, have you never been around a woman for more than 10 seconds? Have you never interacted or had a conversation with a leftist? a leftist women is pretty much an arch demon of hypocrisy.
It's like they have taken every belief that doesnt work when tried in reality and then put it all in a blender to make a smoothie that they then slurp on for the rest of their lives as their only sustenance.

​

Hell, a perfect example of lefty cognitive dissonance is gun control and #defundthepolice.

Way back when, the argument I used to always hear for banning guns is "you don't need them for protection, that's what police are for." You would actually be called paranoid if you didn't count on the police for everything, even if your reasons were things like "I live an hour outside of city limits, they could get stuck in traffic, etc."

But then BLM and such happens and now they turn on the police and even want the police force shut down.

So I'm like... "is now gun ownership alright?"

Nope, they still want guns banned. Even though a ban means nothing if there's no police to enforce it...

Just, Christ, how do these retards manage to breathe?

 

[Hot Dog]

Didn't like her when she first showed up, sure as hell don't like her now.

Just another glass cannon with a fragile ego and delusions of importance. Get off the internet and don't come back. Do something real with your life.

@Boston Brand, it occurs to me that Noumena #3 has not been titled, cover revealed, or put up for pre-order. I heard it was set for a Summer 2022 release date. It feels unusual that there's been nothing about it whatsoever.

That's one thing I didn't think about that strengthens my thoughts on why she retired. My guess is she looked at her book sales and decided she's given up on everything thus leading up to her retirement. She tried so hard to promote her books, shilling them in her videos, so seeing their performance must've hurt her enough to not bother with the third book anymore.

I had a suspicion she has to focus on last minute re-writes of book 3, but if it is due Summer 2022 this is highly unlikely.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Jumping back on Twitter after months away and publicly declaring it was strictly for business only to cry loudly in public, followed by telling Tom Scott to take down his video is...weird.

Idk if it's that weird. Being a "Youtuber" as the kids say, is a young person's business for the same reason you don't see a lot of middle aged pop singers.

Lindsay is nearly 40 and her face is bloated with booze. She's been living on the internet since her 20's and her hotdogs-in-the-face glory days are long behind her. The Patreon money is still rolling in, but she probably realized years ago that disposable cash doesn't substitute for the satisfaction of actual achievements - doing something you love, making a difference, raising a family. Talking about retarded cartoons made by an evil corporation run by pedophiles to gendertarded speds on the internet has gotta be soul-destroying. Going to a children's theme park to get drunk isn't an awesome aspirational lifestyle, it's a cry for help from someone whose best years are over and is rapidly approaching permanently embittered wine aunt territory.

Her attempt to pivot into being a popular authoress has already failed. Her "content creator" () career offers only the quiet misery of becoming increasingly old and irrelevant as younger, hipper, woker social media retards take up more of the spotlight. Her "friends" "allies" have turned on her.

Realistically, her only option left to do something meaningful with her life is to have a couple of kids while she still can, something that probably sears her shriveled hicklib soul to the core, because having babies is something those dumb trashy rednecks do - she has an MFA in television production, dammit!

Where is the hotdog and the rape rap? Where is the Hugo award that was trending? They have passed like boxed wine in the toilet, like aborted babies in the clinic. The days have gone down in the BreadTube, behind the hills into shadow.

 

[FriendlyNeighborhoodDaddy]

According to Lindsay and her defenders, she has been "harassed" for years. Ever since Gamergate, so at least eight years. She even gave a wheezy TED talk about "bad faith" criticisms when she got pushback for her white genocide joke. Why was this "cancelling" the straw that broke the camel's back? Why did she wait NINE MONTHS to quit? As far as I can tell, there's been very little mention of it since the "Mask Off" video. To me, there are two possibilities.

One: she genuinely believes, either consciously or subconsciously, that her lefty critics are right. By her own admission, she gets heaps of scorn from right-wingers, and she just blocks, ignores and dismisses it. Why can't she do that with these woke detractors? Why can't she say to one of her eight employees, "You're now my social media manager, I'm done with it"? Maybe because she wants back in the club. She agrees with these doofuses, so when they call her "bigot", it cuts much deeper than someone calling her "SJW". She keeps searching her name hoping that her station has improved in the wokescold sphere, and it hasn't. And it's driven her insane.

Two: this is all a con. She got a signal boost from her cancelling, but didn't help her book sales. So, she's making a big histrionic show of leaving Youtube, raising her public profile and number of patrons, followed by the glorious return. Even in her farewell screed, she downplays how well her channel is doing, saying it's just "inertia" and "running on fumes." She's hinting that she needs more money. She's begging for support, emotional and financial, and it's working. She got her name into MSM outlets, a wave of twitter sympathy and more subscribers.

I'm leaning more and more toward the second option myself.

 

[Mullti Port RDRAM]

So how are her old buddies pedo Dan Olsen and Sassy Gay Friend Rantasmo?

Dan is actually doing quite well for himself.

Tom Scott is the real victim here. All he wants to do is churn out mildly entertaining lightweight YouTube videos, and yet because he unknowingly made a video with someone who was cancelled because they took exception to a little old lady being beaten up by men wearing dresses, he's been forced to pay out some "fuck off" money to a troon grooming ring as a cost of doing business.

I realise this is slightly off-topic, but I have nothing to add to the topic at hand because everyone else has already echoed my thoughts on Lindsay Ellis and her short-term rage quit.

And even in his post, Tom handled it with grace and class, recognizing he will never make anyone happy. Tom is a class act, something Lindsay can't be.

Did she disown her hick family in 2021? Do you know why?

[Boss Bass]

Wait, wait, wait

Someone whose career was based on “analyzing” disposable media was shocked by “violent monster turns on its trainer”? The most basic of narrative twists for a children’s movie?

 

[FAQnews Correspondent]

What a great boss lol. I guess screwing over your employees is fine when you write a big retarded blogpost about it?

I don't know which one is worse, Lindsay Ellis being your boss, or finding out from the internet that you're laid off because your boss had a bitch fit over being called names on the internet.
