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

[Intelligent Calcium]

And Chapman is weighing in now too. Jacob says that Justin sent some remarks his way in the past but it wasn't anything like what the other victims got.

Stunning and brave and totally not just covering her ass.

Chapman proving they're a sack of shit again, forcing themselves into the spotlight. How heroic of you to quietly be sitting on all this monsterous behavior and never saying anything, despite having more than one chance to do so. But it didn't give Jacob attention, so who give a shit.

I'd have a hard time believing Lupa didn't know considering how close she is with Holly. Perhaps not the specific incident that was reported, but generally girls look out for each other and warn their friends if they think a man in their circle is dangerous or creepy.

I wouldn't really be surprised if Holly didn't let Allison in on what was actually happening, though. I mean, on the one hand they are friends, but on the other hand Holly was the closest thing CA ever had to a professional and most likely knew to keep a defined line between her job and the people she closely associated herself with.

And Chapman is weighing in now too. Jacob says that Justin sent some remarks his way in the past but it wasn't anything like what the other victims got.

LMFAO, who cares. This is the typical "It's all about me, me, me!" behavior JO has exhibited for a while now.

 

[Gordon Cole]

Holy shit, Moviebob actually made a cogent point for once.

 

[Someone in a Tree]

The fact the guy who wants to fuck the green M&M is one of the better dudes in this shitshow really says a lot about Channel Awesome.

Being a nasty cockslut now comes off as charming and quirky.

So instead of a "Why I left Buzzfeed" vibe, it's now a "#metoo"...these fucking people....Unless they were death threatened, they had plenty of time to do this shit, sure, glad they're finally telling what happened to them instead of letting it be a big secret, but stuff like this if happening for almost a decade now, should've ended sooner, we're talking about a youtube nerd group, unless they signed a paper that made them be slaves, i don't see how this happened for as long as it did, unless...Channel Awesome was a cult or something

I think Asalieri2 was right, they didn't spoke about any of this because they had hopes on being famous one day as long they kept quiet about all of this, even the ones that left

 

[Someone in a Tree]

Given the unintended fallout of yesterday's statement, does anyone think Channel Awesome is going to follow through with that planned video?

They'll probably follow through with it and only make things infinitely worse for themselves. It's kind of the repeating pattern here.

I'm a wait-and-see kind of person, but I really fucking hope Michaud in particular goes for it. He seems crazy and stupid enough to do something that self-destructive.

 

[Judge Holden]

I think we should agree to disagree on this topic. My perspective is in this specific instance the management at Channel Awesome had very little to fear from the recently unemployed, mostly destitute Jew Wario. Not only do I think he couldn't afford to bring suit in the first place, even if he won, he wouldn't recoup his expenditures. Even if it is a tried-and-true rule that most corporations follow these policies, Channel Awesome is a unique entity in that it frequently deals with the public and is (in my opinion) under moral and ethical obligations to disclose knowledge of impropriety of their representatives.

Its simple.

No matter what jewwario did, he was still "one of them" despite being kicked off the site and being a sex predator. Thus they would keep the bad shit he did under wraps against any notion of moral decency or responsibility or even the ideological stances they claim to be fanatical about. Its clique shit 101, and is the source of this and just about all the fuckery in douchebag media/internet circles for the past ten years, and indeed all the fuckery IRL for much of this half century (and beforehand) too (see the hollywood sex predator shit).

If you are "In" with the clique, the clique will afford you privileges and immunity beyond those outside of the clique, no matter how pathetic, petty and meaningless that clique is, and no matter how despicable your actions are. Those inside would much rather pretend it never happened to ensure their own positions in the clique are not threatened and to ensure that dirty secrets others in the clique hold regarding them are never revealed.

The JewWario shit was only revealed accidentally, and everyone is now getting their "OH I DIDNT KNOW!" or their "I DIDNT WANT TO TELL BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT THE VICTIMS" or their "FFFUCKING GAMERGATE MADE ME STAY SILENT!" stories in order, and praying that it doesnt blow up in their faces and cause more dark secrets to come spilling out

How is that someone so horrible as MovieBlob actually looks like a nice and good-hearted person when compared to the higher ups of CA?

They'll probably follow through with it and only make things infinitely worse for themselves. It's kind of the repeating pattern here.

How are they so bad at PR and damage control that not saying anything is better then addressing the situation at hand?

 

[GeePee]

I NEVER dreamed it would go this far.And look at that JO's tweet,didn't him mourn his death too when it happened?I'm too lazy to dig his twitter,but I'm almost sure he did...

 

[RodgerDodger]

On one hand this is extremely fucked up but on the other hand, I REALLY wanna see the reactions to this. Especially from people like Lindsay who are Proud Feminists™. They sat on this information for years and some of them even supported this man knowing full well that he was a predator. Absolutely incredible

There will be no reactions to it. Inconvenient facts that run against the narrative get ignored. Like all the rapists on Zoe Quinn’s CON anti harassment team.

What CAN Doug or Rob do in this scenario though?

The document painted them out to be completely inept and incredibly naive and ineffective.

If they had any chance to pass comment it's long fucking gone now as a shitstorm of nigh epic proportions has been created. Anything that they would or say or do now would in all likelihood only serve to pour a generous helping of gasoline onto an already large and out of control bonfire.

They are seen as management and considering that Michaud hasn't seen fit to raise his head and address things like a network head should, the brothers will have two very large targets painted on their backs and a lot of (probably) metaphorical guns being brought to bear directly on them.

This is the very epitome of a Kobayashi-Maru situation for them. They say nothing, they only confirm the fact that they are at best naive to the point being Michael Scott and at worst, about as inept at their jobs as a chocolate teapot. They say something, and they will most likely have to fight their corner in some way, knowing the both of them it will not go well at all and will only serve to create more problems.

As for Brad:

Brad is based (I still really fucking hope) he gon' be fine.

I saw someone mention that Skidmark tweeted out that the Walker brothers have gotten a lawyer. Not sure if it is to do something about Michaud or anything else?

Todd, 2014: "I knew Jew Wario, he was a good guy who would hate Gamergate!!"
Dan, 2018: "We had to protect Jew Wario's rape victim from Gamergate."
Sorry for finding this funny, but

“We had to protect the rape victim from Gamergate by erasing her, never letting anyone know of her pain and championing her rapist as a nuJesus martyred for our sins”

I wonder if Todd knew what JW was up to before when he tweeted this 4 years ago or if it was only the higher ups covering his actions. Either way this makes Todd look like a complete jackass.

Todd is such a clueless beta male that I can easily believe he knew nothing until this week. His entire life is seemingly ignoring what goes on around him.

Your face when you realise the former CA contributors think they're Batman in Dark Knight by hiding Jewario's alleged depravity for some greater good (Protecting people from Gamergate? Really?)

This is Dan Olson.. so maybe more Joel Schumacher creepy pedo Batman than Nolan Batman?

He's really playing by the SJW playbook as well, having been made "physically ill" by a picture of a hat, and having been on the receiving end of "trauma".

Of course, PTSD can be triggered by images, and real actual harassment does count as trauma, but it's just impossible to take seriously from JO, who seems to be using it just to get a bit more spotlight.

I'm at a loss for actually agreeing with something that came out of Blob's thinkhole.

But in a way...It makes a certain degree of sense they're based out of Chicago. CA was like the Mafia of Autism. Keeping silent on Justin and the rest of the shit is Omerta.

Damn, beat me to it.

They'll probably follow through with it and only make things infinitely worse for themselves. It's kind of the repeating pattern here.

It'd probably be even more hilarious if Malcolm and Tamara really did turn out to be the deus ex machina both sides needed to make peace with one another. They'd freeze over most of the fire and convince Michaud to give up the Nostalgia Critic IP to the Walker brothers, Michaud would finish a long redemption arc by making a sincerely heartfelt speech for once in his life, crying autistic tears in front of everyone, and vowing to go back to working in retail, all the former CA producers would feel really bad for him, and everyone at the end would hug and gather together in front of the remaining fire to sing "Kumbaya."

Spoiler

Unlikely, but it'd be a pretty intriguing ending to this whole amazing fucking saga that a lot of people aren't expecting right now.

 

[saddestclown]

How are they so bad at PR and damage control that not saying anything is better then addressing the situation at hand?

It's because they're letting Michael do all the public talking, and Michael has social skills akin to a brick to the testicles.

@MarzGurl admit it, you knew about JewWario all along didn't you

They'll probably follow through with it and only make things infinitely worse for themselves. It's kind of the repeating pattern here.

I've seen a few youtube drama videos years ago. Literally people talking about drama, directly adressing shit they were a part of. I recall TheGamingGoose doing one of these where you could actually hear the guy cry towards the end (I think he was part of some gaming website that never got off the ground).

So, I wouldn't put it past Channel Awesome to have a video where Doug tries to make himself and his associates look innocent, with some legit crying to get some sympathy on him (even though we all know why he'd really be crying). If they actually follow through with the video, that is. We're in for a real treat if they do.
