TGWTG "Nostalgia Critic" / Doug Walker, Rob Walker, Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis, Holly Christine Brown, et al - The Incompetent Predator-Protecting Upper Management of Channel Awesome, Doug Still Not That Funny

The answer is likely yes. While Doug's failures have been a colossal disappointment to him, it likely wasn't the wake up call needed to snap him out of his delusions.

He's hitting his 40s, every original product he's ever created is considered trash, all of the people he's ever worked with hate him, the site he created in the first place is going down in flames...That must be some massive delusion.

Add Suede to that list of red flags. He's always been a team player and is one of the few people on the site that no one seemed to have any issues with. But apparently he's just a gigantic asshole. Why? Because Mikey Mike said so.

what exactly do you mean? red flag as in the potential rapist, or red flag as sign that channelawesome is a shit cult throwing its founding fathers down the drain?

Also, when is dirt on blockbuster buster coming up?

I was replying @Baldur's Gait's comment about Linkara's departure being a sign that that there's some friction going on in Channel Awesome. I forgot to actually quote him though.

Baldur's Gait said:
I don't think Mike is aware of the saying, "If all the people you meet are cunts, then maybe, just maybe, the problem is with you and not every single person you meet."

That document consists of a shitload of former producers, at least several of which were some of the site's biggest draws. The fact that the site managed to piss people like Linkara off should be a massive red flag, but nope, they're just being callous.

BREAKING NEWS: For the first time ever, Channel Awesome is responding to criticisms being lobbied their way.

On all their social media platforms, CA put out a statement in response to the document being released today. It's of course one of the worst attempts at PR control, and they are getting chewed out over it on the comment sections on both the Twitter and Facebook posts for it.

Pathetic. Seems that they don't realize that they are as good as dead. People won't accept any kind of apology, that isn't self-flagellating with self-immolation in the end. You're monsters in the eyes of the public, so handle it like monsters - throw some juicy stuff in return. Go out with a bang, not with a fart.

It's making a dent in CA's subs but not as much as Lupa and co. would like to think it is.

It is pretty early though...

I do wonder how many of his subs are actually active viewers, and how many are dead accounts. He and got only 57k views on Tuesday, that's a big hit in views over the last couple weeks, but he's not bleeding them yet.

Reading the google docs, this entry by Baggagelizard about Doug caught my interest:

"As he was strangely marvelling some DDR pads on the floor, I nervously tried to get his attention.
It wasn't nervous out of fandom, I had not been supportive of their practices for 2 years or so at that point, but sometimes you're just nervous. I introduced myself to him, while he stared at me with glassy eyes and smiled in a way that felt both empty and sincere."

This is some creepypasta shit

I'm almost sure that he borrowed a lot of money from his in-laws to keep the site afloat at one stage, I wonder if he ever paid them back?

And for that matter what does his wife and family other than Rob think about him?

Shit like this is why I always stuck with RedLetterMedia. Whatever good there was in TGWTG to begin with has been buried under a bunch of petty drama and mediocre content.

Todd is the only CA person I care for much (when he's not with Lindsay, that is), and I'm not even sure he still works for them.

He left, was one of the first to leave after the truth of the website came to light. Although, its unclear where he'll go now, I think he left only to get his name out of that clusterfuck.
