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

Damn She wasn't kidding about her YouTube view loss.
View attachment 2836162
At that rate, it's only going downhill from there. I thought maybe she was quietly removed from the YouTube partnership program. In truth, she's just giving up a dying channel
she was all about the patreon, if you look she's uploaded 23 videos in the last 3 years, your channel isn't truely alive at that point, hell 5 of those 23 videos were uploaded post canceling, so when she apparently truly decided to go for it as a youtuber.
I watch a Let's Play channel called Oneyplays and they make fun of Nostalgia Critic constantly, Doug was alerted on a stream to their content and now he's one of their fans. He even signed a drawing of the Oneyplays guys for them.

Critic has made some shit choices but I am convinced he's a decent person
i'll admit from knowing the histories of internet famous people, the shittest bosses are usually decent guys. Doug probably is so hands off that he can do stuff like this like embrace the jokes because its still a fun hobby type job to him. Cumia does the same shit for the most part. if you're a shitty person you;ll end up like wings and having a miserable job making less than you would applying anywhere else.
I'll second that going to Disneyland on a monthly basis is hardly a sign of living high off the hog. But Patreon shows that Lindsay does make six figures off the paypigs. And it looks like Lindsay's backers will indeed give money for nothing.
it only costs $400 for a season pass if you're a "local" which also makes it a pretty cheap alternative than doing a lot of stuff in the LA area, she probably spends less on the days she does go to disneyland because you can't buy alcohol as freely there.
Please. She's copying Zoe Quinn's flounce after her murder of Alec Holokwa, only without the inconvenient corpse.

In that case by the by, Zoe Quinn's Patreon that hadn't been updated for two years ended up making something like an extra thousand dollars a month. As I recall it only ended up dropping down to pre-murder numbers a couple of months ago, two years after the murder.

I think Lindsay is using the cancel mob just as Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian did previously. There have been a number of examples in this thread of the mob attacking dissenters and sobbing over this "loss" fueled by the same irrational vindictiveness that causes it to lynch people.
the only difference is that none of her patreons are expecting content.
Unpopular opinion but when Lindsay says she's not rich I believe her. Not because I don't believe she doesn't make alot of money, but because she's probably piss poor at managing it. With the amount of money she's gotten over the years you could very likely set up at least one or two side ventures that could keep you afloat if your main source of income goes tits up. Even if it's just something like setting up a franchise store or something. But, lest we forget Lindsay is friends with the likes of everyone's favorite decadent skinwalker Contrapoints, so burning money is likely a common friend group activity
while true, contra's biggest purchases were medical related. its a lot harder to spend $200k in a year without it being documented, like on food, alcohol, a new car or wardrobe. even strippers or trips would be documented. so unless lindsay is just spending all that cash on rent in the trendiest area of LA she's probably not spending all she makes. say what you will about contra, Maryland is much cheaper, she pays an entire year's rent on one month of patreon, and be renting an entire house instead of a studio. honestly contra seems to be the only patreon person that seems to be spending their money. everyone else has the same clothes,lifestyle,and production values from their first year to their last.
I could believe it, she went to New Zealand just to talk about The Hobbit. She could have just talked about The Hobbit on a local lawn and no one would have cared.
tax write off, and she at least has the excuse of doing in-person interviews for the hobbit.
With the path she had chosen who is to say that her child would not have come to resent her. She cares little for family with the way she disrespects and looks down upon her family. She threw away her family and for what? A cult of backstabbing moralistic puritans.

I don't know know too much about her history with her family only that she interviewed them for her infamous abortion documentary.

If she an heroes probably only her mom and dad would attend the funeral. Even then probably only out of moral obligation and guilt for how she turned out.

Sad thing is her family more than likely would have had her back far more than the cult she joined. Maybe they were not nice and there is more to the story. I don't know, I have my assumptions, she seems so willing to throw people under the bus to get ahead. Loyalty seems to mean nothing to her.
according to the pro-life people, personality disorders are cured through pregnancy, just like relationship issues. so Lindsay would suddenly stop drinking and being such a cunt if she kept her kid. there is no such thing as awful single mothers, or personality disorders like narcissism in any parent on the planet. again This is what pro-life people literally believe
Almost forgot about Day. I was upset when she snagged a role in the trainwreck that is the new MST3K with Patton fucking Oswalt and that Jonah hack. She was a vocal toxic bitch before at the height of the feminist shit, but I think she started to monitor how it was working out for her colleagues and began to get the message that being outspoken too much makes you a target and she shut down which I'm glad because she sucks. Lindsay, on the other hand, is not a well-known actress, at least outside her bubble, and has no official fallback plan if she up and decides to permanently quit this gig; her cushion is her husband and the simp squad. She can never alter who she is because she will face backlash and her supporters will call her a hypocrite and we all know that she has no backbone ao, if she decides to fire up the Ellis Elixir again, expect more of the same.
from rereading her thread, she was never that obnoxious about being a feminist, so much as men blowing it out of proportion because the gamer girl over 30 sided with the people demanding more jobs for women in gaming rather than immediately bouncing on Ethan Ralph & Sargon's cocks.

Mind you her live action roles were massively decreasing by that point as well, she's not famous enough to not need to audition for the most part, unless her friends help her out with a voice role. so she did have plenty of reason to bitch.
One thing I don't understand, why is cancel culture only a communist philosophy? You don't see it in Nazism, we know like 20 different famous Nazis because hitler didnt disappear his friends. Yet communists turn on each other and vanish each other all the time. Both are evil authoritarian governments with a strict ideology, yet it is only present in communism? Is it because communism is a moving target and a harder ideology to follow? Or is the more vague nature of the beliefs of the left simply an easier tool to villainize people under?

Edit: It's not just sperging, its relevant. Breadtube is an openly communist crowd of people with a large communist following. Lindsay wouldnt have been canceled several times over if she actually had any kind of diversity in her fanbase.
yes. case in point its been 75 years since the fall of the reich and even 10 year olds know which groups they don't like. the soviet union has only been dead for 30 years and its hard to know who specifically its enemies were.
does ali rapp count?
the SWERF/TERFs will, but outside of being targeted by Ethan Ralph&Sargon and their fanboys she was genuinely pretty normie in her politics. If anything she was a net good, not to the farms or null, but Metokur would have loved her if he realized how much she cared about doing accurate translations for weeb shit.
From what I've heard, an alien comes to Earth and then it devolves to being Transformers fanfiction and cultural contemplating about the Bush Administration.
to be fair the boys is just that but with DC heroes instead of transformers and its literally the biggest show of the last 3 years, its going to have an entire media universe built around it.
I don't think she's really interested, but I think she regrets OnlyFans not being around when she was 22 and realizing how little she could do with her college degree.
lindsay is probably a SWERF or would have been at 22, nothing about her content screams her being super ok with getting naked for money, even joking about it. the hotdog gif is from her mocking coomers IIRC. I'm sure in her NChick reviews she did call out media's depiction of sexy women at some point. hell her buddying up to FemFreq proves how she feels about the idea of getting an Only Fans
The picture is older, more the meta-irony of the fan. This is Lindsay's YouTuber clique but only Nicholson is really making videos and doing quite well for herself. Contra makes bank on Patreon but only does like one video a year so his grift game is even better than Lindsay's. Both Contra and Nicholson posted about Lindsay's goodbye note.

obviously Lindsay isn't the first person to do longform film reviews, but she was probably one of the more famous women ones. so if you are a woman that matters to you, its one thing to say some boomer in wisconsin can do X, its another to say a woman you recognize the name of can do something. especially because the plinkett reviews were one offs essentially. to make a career off of that type of shit in 2014 would have been absurd, even RLM mainly used the plinett reviews to do normie youtuber content (current day quick reviews of movies and bad film mockery)
Anyone else annoyed with these "Lindsay invented video essays" takes from her defenders? She started as female Nostalgia Critic, then switched her style to female Plinkett when RLM became popular. She didn't "invent" anything.

These breadtubers act like she never made a video before her Phantom of the Opera review.
no woman has invented anything ever, yet being the first or most recognized means something. even something as dumb as "X with a pussy" is still a big deal. think about how we put ripley or sarah connor up there with other scifi action heroes, when they aren't special if you remove the gender aspect of them.
 
it only costs $400 for a season pass if you're a "local" which also makes it a pretty cheap alternative than doing a lot of stuff in the LA area, she probably spends less on the days she does go to disneyland because you can't buy alcohol as freely there.

Well, there's Galaxy's Edge now, where Lindsay can drink like a wine mom even though she's too selfish to actually have a kid.
 
A final blaze of glory would have been fun. She could have made bank doing a video about what a creep Moviebob is, how awful her publishers were, etc. I agree, her doing this in a way that doesn't burn any bridges means she wants to come back.

Oh, and if anyone was curious, here's her Dune review.
I can see the root of all of Lindsay's reviewing problems in just this video from the very beginning.

"I spent most of my adult life trying to figure out why Dune is as revered as it is."

How about because it was one of the most expansive, detailed, intelligently written science fiction novels ever written? Dune is to science fiction what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, she even made this same comparison in her review as I'm writing this. So you don't even understand the source material, Lindsay? And you're going to review the David Lynch movie?

I haven't even read the book & I at least understand its background.

She actually calls the spice a MacGuffin. Why is that even a criticism being made? Does she not understand how basic plot conflict works? The spice isn't even the real object of the story, it's a setup for House Harkonnen to attack House Atreides where they're at their most vulnerable.

And then she calls the story nonsensical. Is she criticizing the movie or the book? Because I have a feeling she hasn't read it either.

"The book is long & dull & the movie is even worse." So did you read the book or not? I'm guessing no.

"The spice gives people the ability to fold space, whatever that means." you mean a wormhole, Lindsay? This movie & the book it's from are literally too smart for Lindsay to even understand before she writes it off as bad.

Then I finally come to the point where she says "Third Stage Guild Navigator" where she then reveals she read the book for the review. She doesn't bother to explain what that is or why the navigator is at a third stage or what that is despite knowing the source material because she wants it to seem as obtuse as much as possible. 60% of her criticisms are critique by omission.

But then she admits openly that the story is actually about political intrigue between House Atreides & Harkonnen, so why the feigned confusion? She read the book so she knows the details but pretends they're indecipherable anyway.

Because while the movie is plenty shitty & flawed in its own right, Lindsay isn't here to review the movie, she's using the movie to tear down the book because she needed some footage for you to look at as she does it.

I know this because she compared Frank Herbert to tween fanfiction writers because characters have inner monologues. Lindsay is legitimately unqualified to review this book, let alone the movie and this review is godawful from top to bottom, constantly reusing the MacGuffin guy's one gag to fill in dead air.

There are plenty of things wrong with the David Lynch movie but that's clearly not what she's here to review, she's here to use the movie to review the book and call it shit. This whole review is an exercise in not understanding any detail of Dune's worldbuilding as hard as possible to make it seem obtuse on purpose, not because that's the truth but because it's just her job to make Dune look bad because she's reviewing it and reviews need to always trash whatever the subject matter is because AVGN & Nostalgia Critic do it.

I remember she once made a video saying that she took down the video because she got a lot wrong and I think she even said the film explained a lot of shit. Between that and the Rape Rap, even back in the day Lindsay was looking for ways to make herself look good and explain away her mistakes.

Nobody is obligated to have children.

The only reason it was ever bad for Lindsay Ellis to have an abortion is because she's Lindsay Ellis. Had she carried to term, we'd just be calling her a terrible mother instead. I don't understand why we bother to pretend otherwise.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say she’s not even a lolcow. She’s a cow, certainly, but where the fuck are the lols? All I see are a bunch of spergs whining that she practically invented SJWism, and now ‘good riddance’, but she’s not anywhere on the level of someone like Blob, Dobson or Lupa. She’s also not outright lazy enough to be a Spoony.

Basic, Fem Literature 101 takes, an abortion documentary, and failed books aren’t anything special. Hell even her TGWTG work isn’t bad enough to be funny, nor was it ever good enough for her to be a ‘fall from grace’ character.

She hasn’t trooned out and looks basically the same as she always has except for normal aging. She’s married, which is a normal thing, doesn’t appear to engage in any degenerate behavior, and doesn’t have an OnlyFans. In fact a lot of the spergs here are hoping for one of those things to happen. They are clinging to the idea that someone with her views has to go insane and can’t possibly have a relatively normal, uncorrupt life.

I think she just has a thread here because she’s left-leaning, associated with gamergate and related shit, and this site has other ex-TGWTG, so she seems to fit in. Wake me up when a real happening happens.
You're entirely correct, I just hate Lindsay because of her shit reviews, her shit books and there's just something nebulously loathsome about her personality I can't place my finger on.

Is it her smug condescension? How quick she is to throw people under the bus?
I want to say it's the smug condescension but that simply doesn't cover the whole of it. It's like the smug condescension is just a veneer or something. Like I said, I can't place my finger on it.
 
She has surpassed all expectations of someone who announced that they would no longer be producing content.
1640963133102.png

She started this month at 8,409 patrons at the start of this month and in a matter of days her patreon grew over three Moviebobs that day!
1640963297230.png

At this point I'm wonder how long this high will last. Will there be a slow decline in support like what she was experiencing or will the simps realize that she's really not gonna be putting out any content and dump her frumpy ass? She'd have to do something extra problematic for the latter tbf.

Bravo hotdog girl. You got all the people who didn't want to get into the middle of your stupid, drunken slap fight with troons to pay out the ass.
 
Lindsay ruined all the awesome scenes in kids movies for me, like the Fire Bird dance in Labyrinth.

It was like during 2010, her and Doug kept forcing this “Big Lipped Alligator Moment” meme down everyone’s throats.

Here’s the “criteria” for it from TV Tropes

This is named after the random musical number sung by a big-lipped alligator towards the end of the film All Dogs Go to Heaven. A scene that comes right the fuck out of nowhere; has little to no bearing whatsoever on the plot; is WAY over the top in terms of ridiculousness, even within the context of the movie; and after it happens, no one ever speaks of it again."

I absolutely hate all of this description.

Let’s just start right with the title. The All Dogs go to Heaven Scene is actually not “completely random”, coming out of nowhere, and having no bearing on the plot.

The whole subplot with the Alligator is the first phase of the climax. And guess what Lindsay? The Alligator DID reference his “totally random” musical number twenty minutes after it.

The Alligator also killed the villain.

There is nothing about the original “Big Lipped Alligator Moment” that fits Lindsay’s description of a Big Lipped Alligator Moment.

Is there a prize for the most retarded thing posted on here?

I never understood why people liked her in the first place. She would often lie about things that happened in films just to serve points she wanted to make. Her dishonesty aside, Lindsay almost always came across like a Jeanne Guarofalo knock-off, but even more condescending and pretentious, and minus any wit. She was only able to keep a lid on it in her earliest videos. To make matters worse, she was always kind of dumb and ignorant too. Good example of it was "Let's Talk About X-Men: First Class" video. Lindsay discussed the film with her waspy friend shortly after it premiered. They liked it, but criticized inclusion of the gentleman's club with women in underwear dancing for money. They did not like it because it was sexist, and because clubs like that did not exist in the 60s. The term "World's oldest profession" exists for a reason, and almost any average person has seen a western that features bordello with stage performers.

I know that she had the "girl on the internet" advantage, but I don't see how people could consider her attractive. Even back in 2009 there was competition in that aspect with Felicia Day, Lisa Foiles, and many others making videos aimed at the nerd demographic.

LOLOL. Hugh Hefner started the first Playboy Club in 1960 and they spread all over the US throughout the 60s and 70s. Strip clubs were around since the late 1880s in France, like Moulin Rouge

A few minutes of Googling would have taught Lindsay that, but that would cut into her precious cocktail time.

Quitting Youtube but still has Patreon, nice con. Wonder how long it will take her to remove all her Youtube videos and put them behind a Patreon paywall, I mean after all she still has student loans that need paying off.
"Oh gee! Maybe I should save my money to pay off my debt. Pfft. Fuck that! Disneyland, here I come!"

Most kids who watched those movies would have remembered those segments so thats something. If a giant alligator started singing in in the middle of Dr Zhivago, then yeah, that would have thrown me off but is a kids movie that already features that kind of stuff, it was probably done for shits and giggles or because they wanted a bombastic distraction before the emotional climax for just effect .

Those types of reviewers are like that rpg trope of intelligence versus wisdom. They read some screenwritting abc book and they judge everything by that formula but keep missing the forest for the trees. "intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit , wisdom is knowing not to put tomato in a fruit salad, yadah yadah"
 
it only costs $400 for a season pass if you're a "local" which also makes it a pretty cheap alternative than doing a lot of stuff in the LA area, she probably spends less on the days she does go to disneyland because you can't buy alcohol as freely there.

I'm pretty sure women like her don't really like Star Wars. Women like her only "got into" Star Wars after Disney bought it. Really makes you think...

Amazing, she is the perfect example of the meme "things women will never understand". I have not seen any of her reviews because I know they are just feminist trash and BORING, but this is truly mind blowing how fucking dumb she is. Maybe she just hates the book because it is a kind of right-wing reactionary book and the Fremen are patriarchal. It's not Star Trek with women and gay aliens running around enjoying diversity, huffing and puffing about "rights and freedoms".

If she never said "I read the book", maybe she just read some wiki pages. Women like her don't really read books unless it's about a woman that has it hard in a man's world or some POC being oppressed by whitey.

No one tell her about Raymond Chandler.
