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

[Null]

Small observation. The most interesting thing to me is the removal of usernames from that list at the bottom.

If that sounds pointless, hear me out. It's 5:50am east coast, 2:50am west coast. I can't find much information about Michaed, but his Wikia article says he runs the website. Wikipedia has their HQ as Chicago, so it's about 4:50am there.

This dude is up at 5am and responding to messages regarding people dropping out, meticulously removing their names from the site as soon as it happens, like some sort of Stalinist blotting out pictures of unmentionables from the national archives. It's clearly Michaed doing this and it's clear he'd rather the channel die than take responsibility at his own expense.

Something I've noticed over time is the harsh lessons of growing older being applied to long running YouTube 'celebrities'. DSP has been teetering closer to the brink. Onision is losing his mind. The Amazing Atheist has had multiple sex tapes and is now just the grossest most unappealing human being to ever exist. Those cute funny channels like Nostalgia Critic or AVGN are being closely associated with sexual abuse and Mike's 10" dick. How sad to see childhood die.

One of the running jokes surrounding Michaud is how long he spends on his Xbox.

This is probably normal for him.

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
There's so much stuff CA's been accused
I've been checking some googledoc with the stuff from ex-CA folk
They finally spoke and it wasn't sweet
Michaud and Walkers've done some shady shit
But worst of all was the part that goes
"One of the producers was grooming girls"!

Go tell that fedora wearer
Go and tell that obese beaner
Tell the ranter, the squander', the toy buyer

Fuck you, how dare you do this to Johnny Cash.

This is the most nuclear of takes and I wonder what our very own goat thinks about it but I'm too afraid to be the one to ask him.

 

[Puddleduck]

What was the "official" line about JewWario back in the day, about his departure?

 

[UglyOldJafar]

What was the "official" line about JewWario back in the day, about his departure?

Supposedly he wanted to do stuff more on his own.
Which back then didn't really make much sense, as all his friends were at tgwtgs.
now we know why.
Shit.

 

[CrunkLord420]

Okay, this stuff annoys me and you can tell even Internet Aristocrat is super overly invested in the story.

Jim is a self-admitted fan of old Spoony content, who was associated with TGWTG. For a lot of people, probably including Jim, TGWTG were the original video content e-celebs along with ScrewAttack and AVGN.

Everyone is gathering around the nostalgic bonfire to watch it all burn down, there is nothing worth saving.

 

[Syn]

I have a feeling that both Mike Michaud and Robert Walker are responsible for the response made on that page as bitter attempt to save face.

All this has done is blow up their face and is now sinking the the site for good taking Doug down with them.

 

[Blonde Bomb]

They have responded. http://channelawesome.com/our-response/

The way the go FACT makes me wonder if Onision wrote it...

No, but seriously, this is sad. This is a pathetic attempt at saving face and inadvertently is going to destroy them. If the JewWario thing is true...heads are going to roll.

Sure. But whose? Michaud and the Walkers for certain, but I start to wonder what is going to happen with former associates of JewWario. The guy was known to Nostalgia Chick, Marzgurl, Linkara, Spoony, Bennet and so on. The very people who contributed in some way to the #changethechannel movement may now be on the chopping block themselves if that thing turns really, REALLY ugly within the next three days.

Michaud is Nuclear, he's wild.

He's breaking up inside.

Supposedly he wanted to do stuff more on his own.

now we know why.
Shit.

Makes you wonder what were the reasons he iced himself as well now, don't it? I remember back when it happened I was very shocked because he'd always been thought of well by various contributors to the site.

Rest of 'em got some splainin to do now.

 

[Syn]

I dont understand how this was supposed to get people on their side. This is a pretty poor attempt at PR to save themselves.

Speaking of which, what was the official cause of his suicide, if there was any?

 

[Shokew]

Nothing they say or do can convince me that Channel Autism wasn't a miserable environment to work for, let alone in. At the moment, this really is all about saving face for the people who spoke out clearly too little, too late - nothing more, nothing less.

Spoiler

Asalieri (the source of my news on this whole situation), fat fuck that he is, was most certainly right. From the very beginning, most importantly.

 

[UglyOldJafar]

Speaking of which, what was the official cause of his suicide, if there was any?

Gun shot to the head in his bathroom.

 

[CWCissey]

Speaking of which, what was the official cause of his suicide, if there was any?

Money troubles seemed to be the best guess.

 

[Blonde Bomb]

Oh my god they are children !

The fact that they didn't go to an actual attorney or PR firm just speaks VOLUMES. Even DaddyOFive went to a PR firm...
