Arin Hanson / Egoraptor / Grump - "Hey I'm Grump!" of Game Grumps fame, hypocritical SJW doxer, shat himself recording a let's play

[Maamtis]

Honestly wouldn't be shocked since that show is dancing around the area of OK KO and other cookie cutter CN shows. That whole community is very tight knit and I'm sure causing a stink would really cut Ross deep especially when his resolution for the decade was to branch out into more VA work.

battle royale is a shit meme. soviet jump game is a shit meme parodying a shit meme. it's like inception, it's shit memes all the way down.

I always assumed that these shows got green lit because 1. nepotism, weird they all came from the same school & 2. because these shows have cheap looking styles & it is easier to produce. The producers care about quantity more than quality. There was a show called OK KO: Let's Be Heroes which was about heroes who worked at a bodega that had some of the worst animation I have ever seen. Just sloppy schlock that even someone who is not an animator & misses mistakes in other shows can tell is bad. This is your average episode mind you,i'm sure the big episodes had a bit more money invested into them. I can't imagine it had much of a fan base, but it got three seasons. Why did it get green lit? 1. The guy that made it fucked Rebecca Sugar & 2. the creators bent over when the producers asked to cut corners with the animation. I mean why invest money in cartoons when for stupid kids who don't watch television & watch youtubers like ImJayStation, which definitely isn't targeted towards children despite everything suggesting it does.

I could probably go on a Mr. Enter esque rant about this, but I just want to point out 3 things I really hate.

1. Random Access humor

2. The over-reliance on that dumb fucking cat mouth (Get it, they're cats and it's cute. Remember how it's cute on internet things?)

3. That slow motion shot/crash in to a tree part is not only not funny, it also perfectly showcases how poorly made this show it. I'm not what anyone would call a professional in animation, but I do have a passion for it. With 2D animation you can't just play something in slow motion, you need to add more frames. That part has literally 3 frames (1-In air, 2-on collision, 3-After Collision) A lot of the trailer seemed like that, and shouldn't a trailer have, you know, the good parts of animation.

The fact that Ross is a "fan" of it is disgusting, I would have thought he would have more respect for the craft. And no, it's not the art style. Adventure Time and Gravity Falls proves that you can have the "cal-arts' style and tell fun and compelling stories in a show directed at kids.

Okay, the rest of these posts are on point, but I feel like I need to clarify this bit so that the anger over this fuckin' school actually gets pointed towards the real issue: there is no such thing as the Cal-Arts style, and y'all look fucking exceptional by constantly bringing it up as a point against these shows.

To put this very very briefly: "Cal-Arts style" was a phrase John Kricfalusi (the creator of Ren and Stimpy) would use to describe shows he didn't like, such as Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, even Animaniacs, because he felt that all of these people were graduates from these same schools, and were told to drawn a certain way he didn't approve of, and that phrase it's being re-appropriated again to describe this new "bean-face" trend going on with cartoons, which I agree is a problem; more so with the fact that executives can think they can plaster this look onto other reboots (see The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Thundercats, and so on). And if you still don't get why that's such a stupid thing to say, I recommend reading up on John K's thread here or click the spoiler below.

Spoiler: Creators of the "Cal-Arts Style"

Most of these people didn't graduate from CalArts, and most that did made vastly different looking cartoons afterwards. Rebecca Sugar (Steven Universe) and Ian Jones Quartey (OK KO)? Graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Ben Bocquelet (Gumball) graduated from EMCA in France. The only people who did graduate from CalArts that're used in that image floating around showing the beanfaces were Daron Nefcy (Star Vs.) and Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls), but even then Alex also worked for his classmate Thurop Van Orman immediately after graduating on Flapjack. Other graduates like Pendelton Ward, J.G. Quintel, Gennedy Tartokovsky (Dexter's Lab/Samurai Jack), Craig McCracken (PPG/Foster's/Wander Over Yonder), Lauren Faust, I could go on; the creator of Thundercats Roar - a.k.a. not the manbun guy - Marley Halpern-Graser isn't even from CalArts, he's from Canada.

The point is it's not due to some school that this show looks like garbage, it's more than likely due to corporate mandate to try and shove what's worked on other shows into this just like they did anime-inspired cartoons in the 00's, and failing miserably (and a pinch of laziness from the cast and crew) and/or an overlap of styles from working closely together. Which makes Ross insulting people to shield the poor pwecious creative team even more stupid; they've worked on TTG!, MAD, and lots of other garbage shows. Most of the sane people on the team are used to it by now. They don't really need a Grump being a giant megaphone for the crazies on staff.

Good points, but I would argue that even if it wasn't designed as a specific style, it's still a designation for it. Things get unofficial names that stick all the time. That said, it's not a negative thing. In the 90's everything was trying to rip off "Disney Style". In the early 2000s, tv shows were trying to mimic the more angular and stylized shows like Dexter's Lab, Batman TAS, and the likes. Like I said, there are plenty of works with a similar style that are great, and I even like it when it's done right. My point was, however, that the style was not done right and the writing didn't really help it.

That said, John K is on the other side of the spectrum completely.

I can't quote OP's post for some reason, but most women don't like anal. It's painful and deprives women of sexual pleasure. Women have a right to enjoy sex too whether angry Incels, who reee about feminism, like it or not. This is why so many White women no longer date White men.

Oh and anal stops pregnancy too which is why the porn industry pushed it onto thick, White males who can't see they're busily building their own funeral pyres..

Arin is a lolcow, there's no doubt of that, but he is right about anal. I'll give him that.

Sorry to break it to you, chief - but, personal opinion =/= facts.

Not so. Allie's express purpose during Livestreams was to handhold Arin, guiding him throughout all playthroughs (despite viewers demanding that she stfu and let Arin figure things out on his own).

Sure, but I’m referring to the video I quoted. In it, there’s clips from TTYD where Dan mentions he got badge suggestions from the fans and Arin has a freak out about being able to play his way, and have a ‘unique experience’. Arin would rather wallow in misery than take fan suggestions about how to make the experience more enjoyable.

This is why I mentioned Allie; Arin can bitch about fans 'ruining' Dan's unique gaming experience; but has no qualms about his intern/producer guiding him through various games - despite the fact her help is literally taking away his own unique gaming experience (best example is when he streamed Detroit: become Human - a game that has an ending change based on the choices you make throughout the game; but he had Allie tell him exactly what he should do to get the best ending possible; despite the audience literally yelling in stream for her to stay quiet and let him get his own unique ending in his first playthrough).

Just another example of Arin practicing double standards/being a raging hypocrite.

Oh my god I can only imagine how furious the chat must have been.

 

[MahFibro!]

They were pissed - cap locks, swearing; you name it, they were doing it.

From what I recall, Allie even did a impromptu poll, asking the audience if she should continue helping or let Arin continue on his own. (1 for the former, 2 for the latter). The vast response was the latter; but she claimed it was an even split, so Arin chose to continue using her as his guide.

 

[Shazamtrios]

Not to get too off-topic, but that's fucking disgusting. She has the look of an ape or Goblina more than any real life human I've ever seen. I don't care how warm or moist it is, it's beastiality. Their actual creation process is irresponsible as fuck and they wing shit as it goes; they have very little (if any) technical drawings, so nothing is ever done to scale which means characters are always changing shape and size, even in the same fucking scene. Then they take what little notes and ideas they have, ship them off to Korea and let them try to make sense of the scribbles provided. I seriously don't even know how her shit got green-lit; unless she sucked the entire Cartoon Network Corporate office dry in one day... then she got lucky with the Tumblr crowd picking it up.

Sugar is allegedly responsible for most of the episodes of Adventure Time people LOVE. For example, she and someone else worked on the famous Simon and Marcy episode. Ian, Rebecca’s husband in question, won some award in 2001 and 2002 and worked on Venture Brothers for a bit before uhhh... I guess you could argue nepotism because most of his big stuff came with Steven Universe? So it’s not so much sucking them dry as it is giving them ratings. Although I worry that Rebecca showed the creator of Ed, Edd, N Eddy her Double D and Eddy porn... eugh.... Anyway, it’s the same it has always been in the industry: Know people or make a show really shine and you’re IN.

Also, Arin playing Detroit: Become Human and needing his hand held to get a good ending is arguably how I see his experience with the game going. Of course Allie helped him, it’s what she does. Even behind the scenes.

And then he rambles on and on, and compares it to toasters or something.

Looking back on that whole thing, I feel like Arin was just salty about people telling him how to play a game but just couldn't justify because he knew they were right but he had to be in the right in his head, so he just came up with "it's a unique experience tho" and ran with it. He compares doing shit wrong in a game to failing at using a toaster, but Arin's version of failing to use a toaster would be putting the bread in on its side, toasting the bread in five one minute bursts rather than just turning the little minute dial to five, then overcooking the bread and blaming the toaster instead of himself. It's a unique experience for sure but it's fucking stupid.

Stuff like this is why I genuinely think that Arin isn't a very smart person. He's not just stubborn or book-dumb, he has poor reasoning skills as well. His opinions seem to be fueled strictly by emotion and he has no capacity for self-reflection.

I mean, he did drop out of high school after two years

Don’t worry he got a GED tho it’s fine he’s totally not dumb

Yeah, but it feels like he's worse than can be justified by dropping out of high school. The man failed at spelling "eye" for Heaven's sakes.

Actually the argument was a lot worse, and a lot lengthier.

Spoiler: Badgegate Autism

He actually went on this toaster tirade for 3 entire episodes, starting from when Dan got the guide from a fan in Part 53(?). He bitched about Dan getting advice for something he specifically asked for in an AMA, then Arin discussed for the entire rest of that episode about how he was receiving e-mails (because he has his personal e-mail, waffledino@gmail.com I think it was, and his business e-mail both out for the public to use whenever they can) telling him how to play games and how much he was suffering for it, and how badly harassed he was getting, with such hurtful phrases clogging his inbox such as "Take off your hover boots please" and "Yo use a shield" (his examples, not mine), culminating him with basically calling the dude who helped him, u/going_greener, a dick.

In the second episode, Arin continues carrying on until Dan finally asks why Arin is like this, and why he cares so much about a problem HE had already solved to progress the episodes, to which he goes on the unique experience rant. His analogy was that, if you cooked toast regularly, that's all fine and dandy. But that if you were to cook toast wrong (a.k.a. burn it) and eat it for 30 years without anyone telling you how badly you were fucking it up, it wouldn't matter in the end because it still made for a unique experience. To which everybody got on his case for saying, going: "no Arin, if you ate burnt toast all your life, you're still a tard for eating burnt toast and never checking to see if you were doing it right, especially after 30 years of fucking it up".

The third episode he continued to bitch, bringing that bread analogy home and pretty much revealed that that was how he treated playing Zelda for 20-30 years completely ignoring the fact that he uses walkthroughs like it's nobody's business INCLUDING later on in TTYD after this rant, which pissed A LOT of people off even further. Bear in mind, this was right before Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword happened, and people had just had to deal with Arin's ineptitude in Ocarina a playthrough before this one.

By the beginning of the fourth episode though, Dan had finally had enough and pretty much told Arin to shut the hell up. Hence why that point in the playthrough is colloquially referred to as "Badgegate" within the fandom.

EDIT: Lovelies on Main have been getting very agitated and pissed off it seems.
