Careercow Chuck Wendig / Charles Wendig / TerribleMinds - Terrible author, terrible person, ruined Internet Archive's online library

The thing with Wendig is, that as far as I'm concerned he's too successful to be labeled a lolcow. Basically, he's just an asshole who couldn't write a single, interesting page that doesn't feel like a chore to read, but eh... maybe now that he's fired, he'll spiral down the way of the lolcow. I certainly would love to watch him become more and more irrelevant as an author and ultimately do the Dobson.

Oh, how lax they are when it comes to the careers of others. Demanding them to not take advantage of a huge opportunity by going "yeah, you might have to pay bills, but you ending up homeless and poor is a risk *I* am willing to take, in order to force my ideals on this industry."

I've been waiting for a thread on this guy. His twitter alone is like the villain of a saturday morning cartoon made by 4chan.

Never did give his writing a chance but he is in such desperate need of a fucking editor because he jumps from topic to topic and thought to thought. It's like reading Ulysses.

Ulysses is brilliant, though.
And Joyce was a talented writer.

He literally tells men not to hit on women ever in any circumstances. I know it's a cliche but this guy has seriously never even kissed a woman has he?

Flirting is fun if you're not a complete retard

He does have a wife and a son, I suppose there's someone for everybody.
I do hope he spirals ever further out of control and becomes a washed-up writer whose tweets become ever more unhinged.

I'm pretty sure he's raising Tyrone's son not his own, there's no way this man has actually sired children

I don’t know, I hate the notion that someone is not a lolcow only because of their success because a lolcow to me is an idiot online who acts really exceptional. Look at John K and Will Wheaton, both are successful but are still lolcows in the end from their sperging. Wendig is a sperg since he is the epitome of a blue checkmark SJW Soyboy that you can’t help but laugh at him.

The best part about him being fired is that he finally changed his idiotic soy boy twitter pic into the crying cuck that he is.
Before:

After:

And a Comicsgate Caricature for funsies:

This is a man with a quarter MILLION tweets. Let that sink in. A QUARTER MILLION tweets. Hpw often does he see the outdoors or other humans IRL? No wonder he is such a broken angry ranting freak.

That's an average of 75.2 tweets per day for 9 years 7 months straight.

To me, a lolcow also is someone who's a loser one way or the other, since "being an idiot online" would make half the population in the net a lolcow if that was the only requirement. In case of celebrities, their hubris actually has a foundation on their status as being rich and famous. It's far more entertaining to watch them flail around and try to impress with their past achievements as if they meant something. Wnedig is the kind of guy what would be a great "has been" star devolving into lolcowdom.
Will Wheaton, for instance, was an actor, but he was the most loathed character in Star Trek TNG, so there's that to him. Don't know anything about John K, though.

We can still laugh at and mock his antics, but it doesn't feel particularly lolcow-y for me.

I get what you're saying, but this is a guy who managed to get himself fired from one of the biggest franchises in the world solely because he could not shut the fuck up on Twitter. Even MovieBlob didn't manage that -- he had to combine his Twitter-puking with behind the scenes shenanigans before his ass got the boot (and even then he managed to get himself rehired, somehow). I think we may have caught a very rare thing here, given how Wendig continues to spaz out: the birth of a lolcow in the wild. Polish up your binoculars!

Since when does having a job stop people from being lolcows? He may be published, but this dude isn't famous or a celebrity. He's one of these talentless fucks that was hired because he's cheaper than someone who knows what they're doing. He's the writing equivalent of a chinese baby making nikes.
I'll really hammer it in. This man is not a celebrity.

Indeed, being shitcanned seems to have been the biggest thing to raise his profile besides his Twitter potty mouth.

 

[Red Hood]

Hopefully him getting fired will ramp up the lolcow tard cum and salt production.

For whatever reason being unemployed seems to be a big motivator to dig in and double down and act like even more of a total sped on social media for these people.

Let the spergery commence.

Exactly. The only reason anyone knows who he is is because he's a huge retard. If you go to a con and ask 20 people who Chuck Wendig is, not a single one of them will know. He's a nobody in the industry, only known by his detractors and the other pros who are in his cesspool of collusion and social justice retardation. I'm not trying to be hard on the guy but it's the truth. Anyone saying he's famous because he worked for marvel in this thread is just misinformed.

 

[HomeAloneTwo]

So he gets fired for being completely exceptional right before the release of a Star Wars novel during a generally slow time in Star Wars releases, where all of the SW publicity will pretty much be on the work and authors? I'm glad stupid hot headed posts on Twitter are biting people in the ass. Self awareness is a bitch.

 

[Curt Sibling]

He should team up with Dobson and create the ultimate soy-based comic cancer.

 

[TheImportantFart]

My only fear with this thread is we’ll see a lot of off-topic Star Wars sperging.

I call it the Curse of Star Wars or ImportantFart’s law - the mention of Star Wars in a thread causes an exponential increase of the amount of autism in said thread.

But people have been very well behaved so far so maybe those fears are unfounded

 

[mindlessobserver]

Is this guy peak soy? Is it even possible for a man to have more soy in him then Chuck?

 

[CoolGuyHitler]

Wait did he also right the book where Poe farts at a wedding?

Fart jokes and fan fiction about how soldiers act. I don't expect every writer to be a veteran, but FFS, star wars is essentially a fantasy version of military science fiction. David Weber, Timothy Zahn and John Ringo may be evil right wingers but they got the basics of how this works down. Read them before writing your shitty star wars fan fiction chuck!

Or, maybe read some actual military history.

The Warriors was based on Xenophon, wasn't it?
