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

Man, this shitstorm has been really entertaining to watch.

I used to watch Doug's stuff quite a lot 10 years ago, and even relatively recently I used his videos as background noise while doing other things. I never really would've thought how much of a pussy-ass sperg he really was behind the scenes. I also figured that Michaud was a terrible CEO, but I never imagined he'd be this much of a scumbag. Forbidding Holly to work in the industry for three years? Holy fucking shitsnacks.

I knew Channel Awesome had been dying a slow death ever since To Boldly Flee, but I thought they could at least make it to 10 years. Missed it by that much.

Not that I've visited the actual site much ever since Phelous left, by that time he had become my favorite content creator on the site by far and I still enjoy watching his videos to this day. I'm still curious as to why Brad hasn't jumped ship yet, I know he's friends with Doug and Rob but so many other people who have jumped ship like Lewis were too. I'm convinced Pissed Pablo has entirely forgotten that his content is even hosted on Channel Awesome in the first place, which is the only reason why he's still on the site. I'm guessing MasakoX or ERod is going to be the next one to leave.

On a side note, the last video uploaded on the site was 3 days ago, and it was a "Tamara's Never Seen". A new Nostalgia Critic should be up today (unless they changed his schedule from Tuesday to Wednesday), I wonder if Doug's gonna acknowledge the controversy in any way.

I wonder why they still bother separating the creators by category, at this point lumping them all together would look less depressing.

Yeah, at this point why even keep the site open? It's not making money, most of these guys have their own accounts on YouTube, and once some of the last few willing to leave (or Mike removes them) are gone, it's just going to be Doug, Brad, Joe and Larry, assuming either of them don't leave beforehand.
 
Film Brain is an interesting fellow. He's a decent film critic in his own right, but as a person he's always come across as neurotic and squeamish.
i've actually met him in person multiple times. i can't say he seems like a bad person. quite the opposite in my experience. but i can attest to him having witnessed a bar fight late at night since i was there to witness it too. though in my interactions with him i had some understanding that you shouldn't treat "internet celebrities" like gods but as people.
 
Just a random thought: What if this entire Change the Channel movement is an elaborate ploy and this whole thing culminates in every single CA producer, current and former, coming together for the 10 year anniversary?

It's obviously not going to happen, but it would be fucking mindblowing if this ended up being the case.

Then Doug would still not have an original bone in his body as the Stockport Indie darlings Blossoms did this for the announcement of their new album.

Now, that would be amazing. For their fan boys, not for the rest of us obviously.
 
tbh Doug, being the sperg he is, likely just thought he was being silly and cute and seriously didn't realize how douchey that would come across.
That actually makes sense. If you actually wanted to quit in a memorable way you could bring in a piñata of yourself or a deep fryer or some shit like that, leave it to Doug to burn all bridges instead.
 
Film Brain was horrified and nauseated by straight porn he watched alongside other British reviewers

Oh come on. As long as it was not german porn, he should be fine.

Perhaps we can get Moviebob to join in this CA movie?

Are you insane? We all know they fly these guys in. Where the heck could Michaud get the money to rent a jumbo jet?
