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, JewWario was a creepy sex pervert for his grooming actions. What really gets me though is CA's push to portray him as a saint after he ate his gun. HOW DID CA MAKE SO. MANY. BAD. DECISIONS?

Gamergate and anti-gamergate also made efforts to deify him and use him for their cause for some reason.

It's very strange. He wasn't even that big and his work is kinda generic and boring. His fame is nearly entirely built upon his suicide.

I can sort of see it from the point of view of management in that after consulting with a lawyer, the best they could do without the victim's testimony was give him the chance to leave on his own free will rather than publically fire him (and have people investigate the reason) and forbid anyone from working with him. And we can also say that most of his friends had no idea about it and CA's management let the ones closest to him make the tribute videos so they have closure.

However, now we know that it was a bit of an open secret even among them but nobody wanted to say a thing, in some weird way, Michaud somehow did the right thing. :optimistic:

Its kinda like a Michael Jackson situation, where people pretend to now care for someone and that "they were always their biggest fan!", even though before then they probably never gave him any thought or didn't like him outright.

The analogy also works in other ways too, I suppose.

Well Todd Said he'd be against gamergate. Which does seem to fit the pattern of guys against gamergate lately....
 
If Spoony saw this, he'd probably blame Trump.

Cause Trump was accused of Sexual assault, which lead to Weinstein getting charged with sexual harassment, which started the #MeToo movement, which lead more women to speak up about sexual assault, which lead to the #NotSoAwesome document, which lead to his dead friend being putted for sexual abuse, and Spoony can't comment on twitter about it at all.
I hope April keeps Spoony out of this. I don't think he'd have anything fruitful to add and with his apparent state of mind it would just drive him further down the pit of despair.
 
I've come to realize that the Evangelion comparisons are so apt. Channel Awesome is over after the Third Impact, just like humanity was in End of Evangelion.

First Impact: Spoony's depature and mental breakdown
Second Impact: Nostalgia Chick & Chez Apocalypse splitting off over the issue of GG
Third Impact: The Fallout from the #ChangeTheChannel movement.
but will the Rebuilds happen?
because I hope not
