My favourite part about this thread is how everyone shits on Arin while pretending not be a fan of him or Game Grumps. :lit:
I was a fan when he made animations, but now he is just another faggot eceleb, with a victim complex, that I would have a good laugh at if he went down in flames, because its funny to watch ecelebs get fucked.
 
Imagine thinking that everyone in the thread that wants to see Arin Hanson have his inevitable downfall is a FAN of him.

Arin won't be the direct cause of the inevitable GG implosion. Arin's inability to take responsibility for his own failings is creating a culture of rot and denial inside his company - the obsessive "positivity" and "right side of history" thinking, the disdainful mistrust of fans leading to othering and money farming, the inability to separate the image from reality, the disconnection from his own past, the true belief that GG is a club not a professional company, the obsessiveness they have about using all of their material no matter how exposing or awful despite the fact that a single 8-hour work day would create a months worth of daily Episode uploads because they were and always have been lazy shits. All the signs are there.

Speaking as a one-time "fan", (regular mind you, not obsessive). You can loosely track the crazy over the big picture - first sign was John leaving and the odd choice of complete non-address. Everyone knew it was BS because of all the "too real" moments on the show where shit got awkward. Stuff started getting weird in "the crew" as Barry became more of a character and less of a professional employee. By the time Kevin joined it was full cult status for Grump members - it's no surprise he quit, one of his co-workers (dan) made a joke about sexually assaulting him the first time he was mentioned to the fans.

Everything became insular, the image totally controlled. To fans, it was the perfect life of a group of friends. In hindsight, this was the period where Holly started cheating on Ross - while the group simultaneously bashed Ross as a punching bag, training fans to do the same. Suzy fully embraced being a worthless shit and started scamming fans. When that didn't work she became "the group mom" (totally mentally pleasant to be around I'm sure). The group started cross-fucking other you tubers and picking up tag-alongs who were really only there for exposure. Multiple people tell tales about how Arin seems to have a habit of generously financially propping up his closest supporters (AKA buying loyalty). All the while they talked up their own broken devil-may-care false "good people vs bad people" life philosophy while enforcing a non-professional work culture of "you can't tell me that makes you uncomfortable, we are closer than that -RIGHT? ITS COMEDY -RIGHT!?". Then they started mocking fan feedback instead of taking it seriously. The "we're a family" mentality became toxic, as fear of expulsion suppressed the ability for any one person to take the organization to task. People start "disappearing" never to be heard again (including Ross, Barry, Brian, and other tertiary "grumps").

Now you have complete fan disregard and outright pay-pigging, an abandonment of their claim to fame in an effort to recover waning numbers, a bloated, unproductive staff that is inserted into videos like will smith into bad Disney remakes because "don't worry, it just works". Ambivalence toward mistakes. Arin himself clearly has no confidence in his own product anymore - he's completely lost the thread and is depending on a co-host who clearly could care less and feels above it all because he had one hit single and likely fucked his way into a Conan O'Brian performance. If Arin's recent worship of Dan is any indication, god knows what he gets away with (likely a lot of "I'm tired today and don't feel like recording."

The TLDR is that Arin just can't hack it as a business owner or manager. Enough internal shit has aired that its clear the "grumps" as a social network are toxic as shit. Grumps will implode as soon as any of the shit that likely goes down privately goes public, and with the way things are going, someone is probably going to start talking soon - newgrounders, former grumps, other youtubers, the amount of shady shit that's going on now is going to spill out from under the tarp Arin is so desperately hammering back into place constantly - the most recent incident is proof his goodwill is wearing thin.
 
I have a feeling that the Game Grumps company is in a pretty bad spot, the channel's monthly view count went from nearly 80m to just under 40m in 6 months.
The attention seeking on twitter just before announcing a shift away from gaming screams of desperation or at the very least a dumbass' idea of a marketing campaign.

Don't forget being an immature fuckboi with anger issues who can't play video games for shit yet somehow getting paid to be a lazy fat fuck?

Plenty of infamous examples of him essentially going in circles in various games that are so easy a toddler could solve it. That's how bad he is.

I don't even care that much to criticize how he plays. Most ecelebs are dog shit unless they are specifically ecelebs due to skill. I just want to see the downfall of someone who tries so hard to get away from what originally built them up, because if its one thing that gets me mad on the internet, Its a lack of respect for your roots.

The only good ecelebs in the video games department are the ones that strictly stay in their lane, like chuggaconroy. Even then that only makes you barely passable, at least in my book.
 
Oh I haven't even stepped on the rotted eggshells that are the fragments of Dan's life. As befitting a so called "player" with shitty music tastes and a Jewfro which makes him look like a smelly jew hippie...

He's just as disgusting as Arin although instead of rage and frustration it's more wanting to vomit because he's a gross bum.
 
Again, Arin is such a lazy fucking dick. I know that animation is not a walk in the park; shit requires you to not just sit at a table and consistently work hard on maintaining fluid and consistent transition by drawing a scene over and over and over again, but you also need to think of story, progression of that story, characters, character building and direction, world building, what kind of genre you want it to be, etc.

But at the same time, Arin had all of those things. He had everything that could had kept Frederator Studios open if he wanted to. He had connections, he has the talent, he was on the big time of Youtube when all of this shit was fresh.

And he gave that all up for let's playing and shit. Not going to lie, I'd want to play games and have fun and film that for that sweet ad rev too, but Arin fucking sucks at it. No, fucking suck this shit up and fucking gargle it, Arin: YOU FUCKING SUCK AT IT. You don't take anything about video games seriously, you never wanted to be a fucking video game creator and study game dynamics in depth despite Sequelitis's early episodes, and you just wanted that fucking money. Arin is no James Rolfe either.

And as it seems, Arin's going to go back to Square One without passing Go and getting that sweet 200 bucks at this rate. Go and visit Skid Row honey, because Sebastian Bach ain't going to meet you out there or on Sunset Boulevard, because that's where you're gonna start over.
 
Arin Hanson has been given numerous opportunities to explore his talents in a monetary fashion. Opportunities that most people far more talented than him will never be offered. And yet he squanders, he flounders, he wallows. He takes the easy money and doesn't grow as a person. He pushes away his old friends and pretends they don't exist because of a perceived fear of reprisal from his audience. He has now become a man of low character.

It's a damn shame, because when I was a young retarded child I liked his flash animations and was excited to see what he would create next. Shit, maybe he could get his own animated series? Wouldn't that be cool? He'd put his talents to use supposedly doing what he loved.

But he didn't. He easily got 'bullied' out of something that he 'loved' because the fan reaction was poor. Pokeawesome2 was very telling of arin's feelings towards his craft. He didn't care about improving himself as an artist or even as a comedian. He only cared because it made him popular in the first place. Once the gravy train of grumps provided him income and relevancy he easily cut off the part of himself that he loved. Pretty ironic we're seeing the same thing playing out with his revisionist history of his time at Newgrounds.

Once you're useless to Arin Hanson that's it. Into the garbage you go. Unless you give him a cameo on your star wars series that was predating the new star wars movie.
 
My favourite part about this thread is how everyone shits on Arin while pretending not be a fan of him or Game Grumps. :lit:

Even then I've always preferred the other guys (I.E. Spaz, Oney, PsychicPebbles) despite them being friends with a walking PR nightmare in an era of callout/cancel culture.

At this point, i just want to watch the shit-show that'll unfold when Arin finally shits the bed.
 
I don't understand how and why CAA picked them up. This is beating the dead horse that is Hollywood

Not to mention an expensive investment on the long term. Sure, maybe their products will sell a bunch on day one (not even their rabid fans would give a shit about CAA's dark past), but iirc it has been proven that the Grumps use the artificial scarcity tactic to sell merch. They're not even as relevant as the other streamers named on the article.

Well, yeah, that's what happens when you cut your output in half.

Like, for fuck's sake, what were they expecting?

So? you say that like it invalidates everything they said about arin on this thread.
You can imply whatever you want. The points about him are valid. I was just pointing out the irony in a lot of these posts and how it gives me just as much amusement as watching Arin fail.

I think the reaction to my post more than proved that point. :stress:

Imaging caring this much about justifying meaningless reactions and people's feelings on a has-been celeb.

"Imaging" caring this much about an e-celeb you get this upset over a comment in said celebs thread. A benign comment, not even one defending said celeb or anything... seems like the insecurity lies with you. If you act as pathetic as a lolcow don't be surprised when people derive amusement from your posts/reactions. Remember where you are.

"Be civil. Don't get angry over Lolcows. If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you're probably not."

Tbf, you're kinda right about him.

@OmnipotentStupidity does get a little extra angry in this thread for some reason.

chugga atleast bothers to do a playthough previous to a lets play and does his research
Arin on the other hand cant even follow a walkthough
