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

Its still pretty surreal, honestly. At no point did I ever think that it would get this bad, and yet here we are. Shitstorms of this magnitude don't come often, but goddamn, this was one hell of a ride.

Also this thread is so busy my browser is starting to crash lmao.

I can't even keep up with the thread anymore.
 
I just find it funny that CA could have maybe survived this if Mike responded better or even ignored it. A lot of producers would still leave, and viewership would suffer but they could have still stuck it out for another year at least.

The sped is so incompetent he couldn't even censor a fucking chatlog right. How do you fuck up that badly? :story:

Congratulations Larry I know you're reading this you magnificent bastard.
 
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..."
Given his closeness to the Walkers (they just appeared in what will most certainly be Doug's last convention this past weekend), he probably had a head's up about the aggressive nature of Channel Awesome's second response. If they had told him they would be using censored versions of chat logs to illustrate their defense, Brad might have taken it for granted that they'd remove the time stamps.
 
It's over.

CA ended.

It's too surreal for words. Ten years of autism, over like that.
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 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-
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 offender.
JewWario- Upheld as a beloved pillar of the community for years after his suicide. Apparently was a sexual predator.
MOST
Honestly just put Larry in the slot ahead of Brad and you have my list.
 
Holy shit. I stopped following this thread for less than one day and it fucking exploded with drama.
When I woke up this morning and saw that it jumped 10 pages between when I went to bed and when I woke up, I knew I was in for something magical.

I just didn't expect the magic to keep going for the rest of the day.
 
This was quite a trip. Years later, when Channel Awesome is nothing but a vague memory, I can say...I was there when it all went down.
Same. I basically watched history unfold before my very eyes. From my first post in this thread to the last, it was a wild ride. Definitely a story to tell your grandchildren, and a story with a lesson. I can proudly say that I sat in the front row while watching an Internet empire crumble before my very eyes. Truly fascinating.
