Woah, wait... 'Oz Crisis'? That had to have happened after I left the YTP community back in 2009-ish.
Correct, The 'Oz Crisis' happened around 2 years ago after you left (2011-ish).
TL;DR version: Dopply and admins essentially sold off YouChew to this Oz guy, presumably because he had the computer tech competence that they lacked completely. Then said Oz guy apparently decides to fuck with the users for shits and giggles by hacking into inboxes and turning the autismos against each other, among other shenanigans. Oz guy eventually gets banned, but not before permanently gutting several months of forum history. The admins, rather than admitting they fucked up and apologizing, when out of their to gaslight and silence any non-admin who was involved in the manufactured crisis. Needless to say, the autismos (former and current users) are still mad at each other to this very day.
And wow, that's kind of sobering -and a little sad- to realize that almost all the "old guard" YTPers are nearing their 30's (or older). I kinda figured they'd all be getting "up there" in years, but this is ridiculous.
Inorite?
It gets even worse when most of the "old guard" geeks also work shit jobs IRL and don't have any noticeable talents to speak of. One would figure that they would, at the very least, be adept at the fields of animation and/or video editing, but this is clearly not even the case
The thing about YouTube Poop is that 98% of the people who make them regularly are spergs. Sometimes they can get past that to both act like an adult and make funny shit; sometimes they fail either count.
Probably the spergiest one I know of is coolcat001100, who likes children's cartoons (and Undertale) a little
too much. (You might remember his magnum opus, the 44 minute-long "
Top 10 Biggest Problems with Modern SpongeBob". I'd say that level of :autism: is only rivaled by the time
he wrote a pseudo-fanfic devoted to whining about a Mario flash series.)
The saddest thing is, he can't make good YTPs (
this one has some of the worst masking I've ever seen).
I mean, at least he isn't an outright asshole; he leans closer to the more "classic" sperg rage.
From personal experience, all of these anti-social sadbrain liberal arts grads cling obsessively to YTP not because they even have an active interest in the hobby in itself. Their spergatron in regards to SpingeBill or fictional vidya characters are mere side effects compared to their incessant virtue signaling and perpetual self-bubbling from any opposing views
and they wonder why their lives (or lack thereof) keep circling the drain irregardless of them leaving YC or not
not that I'm implying that the people on this thread fit the description I just wrote but y'all get the gist of it, I hope
And about the Oz crisis, let's say I knew some things about that, but that guy was pure AIDS himself when you got down to it, but was still a hilarious event.
In the aftermath of the crisis, it was said that Oz got immediately canned IRL for having CP on his computer. I wouldn't know if it's true or not, considering that he hacked the site again in 2012, albeit with much less success.
Anyway, would be kewl if you shared what you personally know about the "crisis". If not, then thanks for stopping by anyway, I guess!
even without the pokemon trainer cap.
As with Oz, I'm not one hundred percent sure on this, but from personal experience I can say the the guy is your typical mid 20s something aspergianwho still lives with his parents and whines constantly about his home state (Alabama I think?) not being more Troon-friendly and pozzed.
