See the OP.

Right. Though Mad_Scientist hasn't been on the forums since 2019 (despite still being close with ANN staff on Twitter), and MarzGurl's activity on the forums is just very occasionally popping up on Vic threads (besides giving her words when Zac passed, her last post outside of Vic news threads was in 2014).

Is there any notable non-staff forum posters besides penguintruth and Cardcaptor Takato?

If you're talking about people like them, in the sense that they're ANN simps, don't recall that many, like Mothra said, the forums had been on the decline as early as he stated.
There where few I remember seeing around quite a bit. I wouldn't call either an ANN simp, in fact, one was pretty much a thorn in Zac's side, his user name was dtm42 I think. That guy was hoot to see on the forums, he drove them all crazy.
Dtm had a simp as well, don't remember his name though.

There's also blood- he would also butt heads with Zac, though he mellowed out a bit towards the end of me lurking there.
One other member I remember was a kid named Chagen. The kid got outed on there for being a diaper fetishist.

I don't know if any of them would still be on that forum, but they where some of the more "colorful " individuals there when I lurked.

Oh, I've seen this guy before but didn't know about his diaper fetish. Good thing he left while it was still just Zac and Hope before the real shit started stirring, because I'm pretty sure that would be an instant death penalty with the current crew.

I dunno, they have a foot fetishist working for them, he may have fit in just fine...

Has Eisenbeis taken over Froggy's spot as ANN's Japan Correspondent? I noticed lately he's been writing all of the Interest news articles where Froggy was normally the one writing them, and Froggy and her husband Canipa have just moved back to Australia as they've announced (neither of them have said why they moved back, just that they did).

Justin Sevakis treating Twitter like his psychiatrist at a mental asylum. What a surprise.

Hey, it's the thing KF says that it isn't in the "hide your power level" guideline!

"There's tons of anime every season that aren't problematic at all and are just entertaining stories and you're not looking hard enough if you can't find non-problematic anime to watch." you say, on the site whose writers don't care about that and still feel the need to shit on every show not part of their "agenda" when they weren't the audience in the first place.

Exactly. That isn't the point to the people who complain. For them it's no less than "we aren't coming for your games... oh wait........" http://archive.md/cbJOz
No matter how hard they try to pretend this is about verity of content. That argument is so old and fallacious at this point that it isn't even funny.

I'd love to see the replies to that post.

Guess Froggy's now confirmed that for me, though she and Canipa still aren't saying why they've moved back:

Canipa has decided to give this away now that the two are out of Japan:

Now I want to know what Miyazaki thought of this.

To speak of Canipa, anyone know more about him than I do? He has a place on ANN's circlejerk and not just because his wife is working for them, that much I know. I know he's written plenty of reviews and features for ANN (most recently took over Mercedez's weekly reviews for the spring season when she suddenly called quits halfway thru the season, he isn't doing any weekly reviews this season though). His reviews for 86 show he's another sakugafag, and he doubled down when less individuals called him out on that. Made a tweet sucking off ANN when they got called out for their FukaBoku review, and blocked the fool in the replies to his tweet who dared to call out ANN's bullshit.

Tranny Update - How to Forgive Some Smug Gay Asshole Misgendering You Without Showing Forgiveness: An Act in Some Number of Tweets

Not to brag, but I am pretty good at rolling with the punches in that regard by now. I know what I look like. I know what I sound like. It's inevitable. So it's always a treat when folks get it right without me having to say anything or make extra signals!

PassionTentacle? I recognize that troon's name. Yet another part of ANN's Twitter social circle who Lynzee, Nick, Caitlin, etc. are all friends with. They've been one of the people most involved in dealing with Hazukari since he got busted, but that's the only real notable thing I know about them.

Not that I give a shit about the misgendering thing, but Sevakis is a huge prick and is not above making fun of people in public to make himself feel better about his pathetic self. Pretty funny that this tranny knows who he was but wasn't aware he's a huge jerk. Also funny to see Sevakis didn't get away with being his usual prick self for once. Must be humbling for him to know he's not on the top of the SJW totem poll anymore just becuase he likes dick. lol

Also seems he was probably pushed into the apology by the ANN staff. I'm sure he didn't give a shit at the time he actually did it. lol

Great. Let them fight.

Also, I like how Brainchild and Takato are among the people in the troon's replies feeling sympathy for them, yet no one has the balls to directly call out Sevakis for this.

Sevakis is probably over-due for a canceling of some kind at some point. Dude has massive bad karma and a lot of skeletons in his closet. We'll see what happens with him post dead-Zac, I did notice him trying to subtlety distance himself more from ANN in recent years like he can see it coming in slow motion, but his stupid clique has shielded him so far including over Creepy Gym Stalker Gate, so maybe that's way too optimistic to consider.

 

[NickDigger]

It's just funny to see these retards at an impasse in a way only tards can be: Justin posts some overwrought apology with promises to Do Better (fuck everyone who says this btw) and the "victim" wants so desperately to feel important by vaguely-not-really trying to say Justin should be canceled despite sharing acquaintances and knowing Justin wasn't trying to offend him (and possibly knowing it'll be hard to consoom cartoons without him authoring Discoteks shit).

Both of them are cunts begging for sympathy they didn't earn.

Couple months old but I found it looking for something else, Caitlin was made aware of what Theron said on his blog about leaving ANN over disagreements.

The guy's reply at the bottom included a screencap of Theron's comment. Caitlin's way of putting it ("Is that the version he's telling?"), sure makes a case that he actually was pushed by ANN to leave.

He was an old white dude who *LE GASP* actually enjoyed anime, ecchi to boot. Of course he was pushed out.

God these people are so petty, this happened now like what? A year or even two ago? This ol'dude is living rent free in thier minds. It's hilariously pathetic.
But it get me to thinking of another crack pot theory.

Maybe in reality, these assholes where actually jealous of Theron. Cause what was left of Ann's forum base (that weren't sycophants) actually did respect him. I recall quite a few of liked him cause they felt he was the most level headed/chill mod in the forums. People would sometimes even comment how they enjoyed reading his reviews.

Maybe that coupled with him not towing the line lead to him being ousted. Also, something just dawned on me, why haven't any of them, outright said why he was canned?
You'd think they be only to gleeful in saying why, yet, silence.

God dammit, this is gonna be on my mind now for the better part of the morning...
