I remember the Kickstarter for this game. As a Godzilla fan I was super stoked for it and I believe I actually might've backed it? It's been a long time so my memory is fuzzy. But after a couple of weeks the macrophile furries caught wind of the production and bombed the project with money, notably Duncan Roo and Macroceli (aka "Macrosaur"), two long time popular furfags with suspiciously deep pockets. When the concept art of their self-inserts was posted there was immediate backlash. Duncan's character didn't get much of it as it was largely focused on the fat fetish dinosaur, however for those who were familiar with the characters and the people behind them Duncan caught some flak too because usually wherever Macroceli goes Duncan isn't far behind (and vice versa). The developers knew they had unintentionally stumbled into a PR nightmare and this is likely what caused progress on the game to slowly grind to a halt and for everyone to just forget about it and move on.

It should be noted that Colossal Kaiju Combat was a hot-mess from the beginning. The furry aspect had little to do with why the game collapsed, and, as ex-developers of the game explained in some comments I found, it was a classic case of a kickscammer title in which the developer promised way too much and had a really inexperienced team at the helm. The lead environmental artist also unfortunately passed away during the game's development, and I believed he was one of the key members of the development team.




Comments from this video in particular are illuminating.

So he donated money, helped promote them, and they're grateful for his contribution to the product and what they're developing. They are touched by the kindness of Jirad and the new community they gained from him, and when Jirad kindly asks for donations to his foundation he ans his family dedicated to his mother's passing by an awful disease, they donate, happy to give back to them. They did what they said they were going to do with the money, their nice friend Jirad was going to too, right? Besides, they might have had family members afflicted by the same or similar illnesses.


Yeah @ShitLurker , Jirad lied to them about where the money they gave him went, they gave him their trust and he abused it. They don't owe him DICK.

Fair, I hadn't considered it was a bilateral exchange where the SoS people actually donated and got people donating to one of the fatman scams.

Newspapers have ads. If a newspaper can be taken seriously while having a full page ad about air conditioning right next to a story about the war in Gaza, I don't know why a YouTuber can't be taken seriously for trying to make money while reporting on something.

Doesn’t choosing not to monetize a video also fuck with it in the algorithm?

I know being demonetized does, but I wouldn’t past YouTube to not push a video that doesn’t have ads on it.

It's been so long, motherfucker really brought up "JonTron being a racist". Hello? What does that have to do with anything?

If you see his interview on some bearded retards' podcast, that happened some time before this controversy, he brings up all these events (G4, JonTron, Jared) both for pity points and as badges of honor, bragging that he was never the one at the centre of the drama. Muh legacy and all. :lol:

EDIT: It's from this podcast, I think this is the clip.

That's what I want to know as well. Is there any popular theories? Personally I could see some whistle blower story. I don't think it's gonna be some bigname we'd know or his family but maybe some literal who.

It would be very funny if it was his old partner, but I doubt it. Likely just a random autist with a bone to pick and knowledge of where to look.

Jon must have the patience of a goddamn saint. If I were him, after that comment, I'd go full scorched earth on this neckbearded faggot. "Oh, you wanna be like that after I invited you to my wedding? OK, here's a list of all the twisted shit that you've done (with receipts)."

This feels like karma in action. Guy goes from trashing people associated with him to eventually being caught himself. Would have been better off not saying anything at all, but now the guy has a dozen eggs on his face.

this terrorist is toasted

Karl released the full call.

Some takeaways:
Jirard is a narcissistic fuck and really only cares about the optics

They didn't donate because they were looking for an organization that would suck their dick after donating

Claims none of the organizations they looked at initially would accept their "low" donations and that the organizations only wanted big sums
