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

So, Greg Sestero loyalty?

If by "loyalty" you mean "Greg desperately wanted to become a Hollywood actor, and was willing to put up with Tommy's weird craziness because he let Greg live at his LA apartment rent-free, later acting in Tommy's movie because he couldn't get any other acting roles and Tommy was paying him, even though he knew it would be shit."
Maybe that does describe the situation.

Audacity and idiocy are dangerously close things.

Both of which Michaud has in surplus.

A Facebook friend posted a link to the reddit discussing the Jew Wario situation and Leslie Rice (Terror Obscura) commented:"sorry, man. We didn't want people to find out this way"

He responded with:
"The worst part is that I knew...just not the scope of the whole thing"

Seems it was an open secret among more than care to admit...

Yeah, likely many of them knew at least some of it. At least enough to understand why “no Jewario. Rossovers ever again! The mngmnt!”

Whoa, big drop just now. Bennett and Battle Geek Plus dropped as claimed by Larry, but so did Toons These Days and Bargain Boy. Screen Crashers was also removed, presumably for inactivity.

It’s Dead Jim! There is no there there anymore! This is an ex Parot! Stick a fork in it. But honestly what is the difference, how much traffic actually went through the aggregator website anymore? Heck even the Walkers would likely be fine just posting to YouTube. If only they hadn’t burned so many bridges over the years.

Larry's a legend.

Larry is a God! There can be only one. Let him and Brad battle it out with swords for the Quickening.

All of this reads like a sad chain of events that pulled everyone involved down with it. Nobody came out clean. Not the former members, or the upper management. All sides end up losing at the end of the day. Such a bloody shame.

It’s the only way it was going to end. The only way it could end. Everyone called it Channel Autism for a reason. Some things are just destiny. Or to put it another way, you can’t stop stupidity, even when you know what happens next.

In a way, Doug did get to make that 10th anniversary horror movie, with each contributor being knocked off one by one:

Well the 10th Anniversary Special has been far more entertaining and compelling than the prior ones. Great story. Characters, depth, betrayals, fantastic villains. And only half the runtime of To Boldly Flee. I can’t wait to see what they do next year!

Both of which Michaud has in surplus.

At least he has something in surplus, because people on his shit hole of a site isn't one of those.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Imagine if Michaud has the balls to fire Larry.

At this point I think the technical term would be “laid off” or “please turn out the lights when you leave”

Who needs success and friends when you can pour 100 000 hours into Halo Reach?

Both of which Michaud has in surplus.

When Michaud realised that removing Guru Larry from the site would take 50,000 milliseconds of effort, he just went with the 100 millisecond option of unpausing Call of Duty.

Not Mike Machaud, that's for fucking sure.

There have to be a few 15 year old CA fans who think this is their 9/11.

Who're we kidding, we're laughing at both equally. I don't think Michaud is smart enough to fly a plane though, or do anything in general.

 

[Zaryiu]

To be fair, depending on how old the girl was when she & the groomer began communicating...18 is the age of consent. Yes, 'mentally she was 16', and yes, our brains aren't fully developed until we're 25, but...if she was 18, I don't know if it can be called 'grooming'. To be clear, I am not victim blaming. It's sexual/emotional manipulation. But I don't know if you can legally refer to it as 'grooming'...or if grooming is even a legal term.

I thought the age of concent vary in certain states?

That empty "Comics & Anime" section is so depressing.

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.

This guy never heard of the Streisand Effect, huh?

Poor E-Rod, pops Doug's cock out of his mouth, sadly wipes his lip and says goodbye for the last time.

I can't tell whether the quotes I've compiled here are funnier or more disturbing in hindsight.

Spoiler

I don't think anyone in this thread mentioned it but speculation from our sites autistic 2nd cousin DHI mentions that JewWario could have been the one grooming younger fangirls. If that's the case it would make sense that they aren't naming him as the culprit, like out of some kind of respect for the dead situation.

And being dead, he definitely fits the "former producer" criteria.

REALLY?! Oh god, I hope not. We should investigate that further, I don't wanna be defending a dead rapist.

DHI truly is autistic. They said this was a producer who was fired. JewWario was never fired. He died while still working under the CA umbrella.

Not even death can save you from Channel Awesome's autism.

creppily accurate

He wasn't fired, but he had resigned from TGWTG for almost a year.

Doubt it was JewWario doing the grooming, the SJW producers wouldn't have been so broken up when he died.

Don't think it was LordKat, because there are producers who wouldn't hesitate to drop the dime on him of they heard it.

Spoony? Possible, but in his post-Scarlett state of mind he would have bragged about it on twitter.

My money's on Angry Joe. Big/popular enough so people wouldn't mess with him, arrogant enough to think he could get away with it.
