Almost 10 years ago, when Doug went to his (then) job, ripped his shirt off, and burned his bridges with his employer running around the building like an idiot, I wonder where he thought he'd be in the future?

Oh that's simple: he thought he would be in Hollywood living it up as the next Spielberg.

I'm thinking he was willing to ignore the internet drama... but the dead pedo grooming rapist bit that landed today... yeah that can be brand damaging. "Gotta go..."

I don't think doug and co are willing to just do that.
They'll probably spend a month or two trying to rebuild it.
They've invested a decade in it after all.

But what exactly was their game plan? That's what always gets me with this pack of aging hipster Lost Boys. Where was it all going. They had no retirement plan? Can you imagine doing the Nostalgia Critic until you collect Social Security?

Michaud is Nuclear, he's wild.

He's breaking up inside.



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.

Oh man, I was thinking the same. Maybe Justin came to regret his actions so much, that he just couldn't live with himself anymore?

Though, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Lindsey knew about all of this and tried to cover it up. She IS good friends with Anita Sarkeesian after all...

Random thought that popped up while typing this post: Remember when Todd in the Closet tweeted that Justin would be anti-gg if he were alive? What if this was one of the reasons he thought that? GG was in the middle of dealing with Sarah Butts (who Todd openly defended) when he posted that tweet. Most of us made it VERY clear at this point that we thought that this kind of behavior was unacceptable.

If they really cared about the long-term realities of their business model, they wouldn't have spent the last ten years burning so many bridges.

It's a cliche to bring it up at this point, but Doug's I Quit video sums up everything about his business model. At first glance it's entertaining, but then you realize he's permanently destroyed a valuable connection all for the sake of some horribly misguided dream.

They never had a game plan. They always thought they could do this forever and never have anything get in their way.

Or they thought that they would eventually end up in Hollywood and hit it big there.

Once again, Doug is a moron and that symbolizes it greatly.

So can we make a list of CA related people from relatively least fucked to absolute worse? I'm struggling to keep up

Here's a rough version. If I missed anyone or it needs to be changed around or added to, do so as you wish.

LEAST
Brad Jones- Meine ehre heisst Treue. Not too much bad to say about him despite sticking around so long.
Blockbuster Buster/Film Brain- Harmless interchangeable movie spergs.
Linkara- Weird fetishes. Nasty cockslut.
GuruLarry- Opportunistic dick (but likably so), but mostly harmless and in it for the lulz.
Spoony- Shell of his former self. Trump sperg. Patreon scammer. Makes excuses for not producing content.
Angry Joe- Really bad at his job. Hates his fans.
Obscurus Lupa- Shameless drama-whore.
Lindsay Ellis/Nostalgia Chick and associates- hypocritical assholes, drama whores.
Doug/The Nostalgia Critic-Center of attention. Bad comedy writer. Overlooked a lot of shit. Ripped off supporters to make a lame-ass gameshow.
Rob Walker- Incompetent asshole covering for other people.
Mike Michaud- A manager less competent that Michael Scott. General douchebaggery as detailed elsewhere.
Mike Ellis- Creepy obsessive sex pervert.
JewWario- Upheld as a beloved pillar of the community for years after his suicide. Apparently was a sexual predator.
MOST
