I don't know if it's already been discussed, but in checking Twitter I found this recording of Doug being asked about the debacle at Empire State Comic-Con, to which he says he "can't talk about it right now... just right now."

Rumour mill is that his reply and now the first sentence in the written response ("we have been exploring all of our options of how to address the lies") imply they've hired a lawyer to take legal action against the ex-producers and have been instructed to not talk about it.

That'd be a fucking shitshow, and one I'd love to see. The ex-producers could no doubt crowdfund their legal expenses.

I'm down for another lolsuit after the Maddox/Dick one wraps up.

I thought they were going to wisely ignore it. Responding is really only worth it if you can decisively smack down the other side.

They've waited long enough and had more than enough time to have come up with a way better response than this if they'd actually devoted some time to it.

So what this means is Mike played Xbox for a fucking week, then finally read some of it, decided it was bullshit and hammered out this crap statement that just kicked a can of kerosene over it all.

They tried not responding, and they lost one of their sponsors. In this situation you'd have to be a colossal fuckup to make it worse with a response. And surely Michaud couldn't possibly be a colossal fuckup, that'd be impossible.

I think Brad wants to stay neutral until his hand is forced. How Michaud and the Walkers would force him would be interesting.

Brad is not neutral. He's faithfully been on the Walkers' side and just hasn't released any formal public response - only responded to questions. He will not leave and given that he has the best reputation (and second-largest platform after Doug), I can see them asking.

I think the only reason he wouldn't is that he'd be reluctant to pollute his content spaces with drama.

Unless I missed it, he hasn't said anything, so I see that as being neutral. Not making a statement doesn't mean you're automatically on one side.

Not unless he did a video recently with Doug and they both hi-fived and slapped their dicks together. Then okay. That could be considered him siding with Channel Awesome.

You haven't been paying attention. One example. He's loyal to the Walkers for personal reasons (namely being on his side in past dramas) and been concrete about sticking by them.

I love how the response seems to only target the women that contributed to the doc.

Mike DOES realize that this is only proving what they are saying... Right?

I also love the replies. This seems to be the final straw for a lot of now former fans. Take notes, kids. This is how NOT to react to accusations of this nature. Or any nature, for that matter.

I still feel sorry for Brad. He's probably getting hounded by both sides when all he seems to want is to make videos with his friends.

So, Angry Joe just officially left Channel Awesome too now.

Whoa... Ok, I was not expecting that. Holy shit, maybe there is something resembling a brain in that head of his.
