I watched a few anime simply because Hope reviewed them (
Koi Kaze,
Azumanga Daioh,
Now and Then, Here and There) and I liked the Digimon retrospective videos (speaking of,
these need to be archived if they're not already), but I had always wondered if something was off about her. She was definitely one of the most autistic and hyperactive of the TGWTG crew, had quite the no indoor voice next to Linkara, and she just had a terrible schedule even before Blip went kaput. Before she made the announcement of retiring her reviews, I had stopped watching her out of boredom and never really bothered going back to rewatch the reviews. I learned over time she was a bitch, but never would've thought she'd turn into this.
What a trainwreck, definitely one of the worst to come from the crew.
It's like Hope is trying to become Hana from
Tokyo Godfathers but is lacking the charisma and character development to pull it off.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this open letter to Hope someone wrote about three years ago. He wrote it simply because Hope was talking shit about the brony fandom, so the guy sperged out about it while calling her out for mindless hate. I only knew about this because Sage read it out loud on his Super Toolshed
podcast. Long read, very autistic, but it's JesuOtaku-related. But it's kind of small potatoes at this point, not even sure if it'll get mentioned by Jim when he gets around to talking about her, to be frank.
