Would it be appropriate to update the OP to include links to other TGWTG threads, too?
Or would this link work, too?
Anyways, some of the Kiwis here might be aware of the Weeb Wars occurring right now and the involvement of several Channel Awesome alumni in perhaps the best/worst crossover in 2019. For those who have no idea, here is a link to the main thread, I encourage anyone interested to read the first page:

- Originated the #kickvic campaign against voice actor Vic Mignogna, currently asking for assistance to dox ComicsGate YouTuber Yellow Flash for his "Monetize MarzGurl" stream (basically people submit MarzGurl memes and they are featured on the stream. The submitter of the best one gets a cut of Yellow Flash's super chat total. Yellow Flash previously did two centered around a certain blue orca).

3) Hope/Jacob Chapman aka JesuOtaku
- TGWTG/Channel Awesome from 2009 to 2014.
- Might be involved due to Chapman's position in Anime News Network.
- Chapman has thrown support to MarzGurl
- ANN published a now infamous article about Mignogna:
