The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)

How long until Enter disables youtube comments?
Also I'm curious, when was the last time Enter admitted to being wrong about a review? I know he changed his mind on some of his very early stuff but him doubling down on his irrational hatred of Rise of TMNT, not acknowledging the Mexican response to his El Tigre video, deleting his twitter to get away from criticism just makes it sound like he thinks he's right all the time by virtue of his popularity as a critic.
Latest I can remember was his 90's list when he admitted he was wrong about Angela Anaconda. It's a rare occurrence.

I'm especially fond of that last comment. When Star first announced this review, I pre-emptively watched the episode on my own and immediately understood the satire. Enter's mistake was trying to pick out a straightforward and serious message from a show that stopped taking itself seriously decades ago. He KNOWS everyone on the show is an idiot, most of the show's audience knows that everyone on the show is an idiot, so why does he continue to trust those idiots?
The guy spazzing out over "Muh Nazi dogwhistles" is a bit of a sped, but the last guy's got some decent points.
So, in this review, Enter starts complaining about "social commentary"

Yet, he has a three part "episode" in GA which is his soapbox against the school system
He even kinda did this topic, too:

The crossdressing begins two sentences in:

Because he’s an idiot.
 
In this recent video, Enter says:
"It's more acceptable for girls to wear boys clothing"
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that might be some of his crossdressing wishes leaking through
I think I'm starting to see it's less of a crossdressing fetish for him and more of a perceived injustice how it's ok for girls to wear boy clothing but not the other way around. I feel like his autistic mind must have latched onto this idea and grown roots since this is a very basic and easy to understand "flaw" in society that he can use to make a statement that "society bad."
 
For the love of God, Enter. If you wanna put a dress on and be a pretty princess because it tickles your willy, just do it. It's weird, but whatever. It's hardly the most shocking kink in the world. And even if it was, you can jack off to whatever fucked up shit you want because this is America, dammit!

But stop pretending it's not a fetish.
 
Complaining about modern day Simpsons is like complaining about the Kiwi Farms: Everyone has already done so a bazillion times each and the only reason why it still exists is because it thrives on the attention from all the people complaining. Who the fuck cares? I don't think even Matt Groening does anymore.

Also :semperfidelis: for this thread making it to 300 pages

If that is it, he's also kind of missing that most people (especially kids) regardless of gender, just don't like to wear super frilly dresses all the time. Even if clothing was no longer gendered and we didn't even have memory of a time when it was, I don't think we'd be seeing everyone running around in princess gowns and magical girl costumes like what happens in GA. There's a reason women started wearing more typically "male" things like pants, rather than men starting to put on skirts once gender equality started to progress; Pants are practical for most day to day activities and jobs, gowns are not.

But, I'm still convinced it's a kink myself. In the episode he's bitching about, Lisa says that boys' clothing have more pockets, which would actually be useful, but the boys in GA never wear dresses because they think they provide any advantage (Like, maybe they're cooler during the Summer or something). But, instead, because someone is forcing them to wear them. So, I just can't see it as some Autistic idea of equality.
 
Meh, at least he doesn't take on Family Guy again for the millionth time. I don't think he has made much videos on The Simpsons so something new is ok.

My ranting on the video:
1. Hearing Marge saying "noob" is enough for you to make a vid about it? Oh ok
2. When it comes to the topic of female protagonist reboots, no one cares about your "Growing Around" as a reasoning. Just bring up favorite female protagonist cartoons that work.
3. Gonna nitpick and state that the topic of "Why don't you just make your own characters?" won't work given that there's already shit that got flak even for being original like Steven Universe or High Guardian Spice.
4. Is there even a need to bring up the terms people insult you about, including "autistic"?

Much like some people consider it a very basic and easy to understand "flaw" in society that kids can't consent to having sex with adults?

Because Enter is an autistic idiot.

This is the same guy who nitpicks every little thing from Family Guy and rants about its morals despite them clearly not meant to be taken seriously most of the time. I think Enter has an issue with understanding the concept of joke morals that shows like Teen Titans Go and Family Guy do. It's telling that he thinks Stewie's "Buy drugs, there's probably a guy in your library who sells drugs," is meant to be taken seriously by people.

With these recent videos, it's astounding how Enter's managed to damn near sink back to his original quality level and bad traits. He was never a good reviewer/content creator, but right before the Growing Around Indiegogo failed, he seemed to be genuinely improving in areas. The editing was inconsistent quality-wise due to the constant editor switching, but hey, it was better than the constant audio clipping from the past. He also seemed a little calmer in his tone, which made sense seeing as one of the constant complaints he rightfully got was that he was getting too angry at TV shows.

After the fundraiser failed though, he just began undoing all those little improvements. StarGiantProductions pretty much became his main editor in addition to himself, leading to editing just as basic as Enter's beginnings. He began ramping the anger up in the newer videos, especially during his Sanjay & Craig and Sabrina reviews. And he also began shoehorning mentions of Growing Around into more of his videos, while also not being to talk about it without bringing up his detractors (hence making the "product" look worse). Then there's the onslaught of political videos, which only served to alienate (and still alienates) his audience. He's back to where he started, only in HD and with better audio quality.

Again, is he trying to gain subscribers or does he actively want to lose them?

I’d imagine that the improvement was directly related to the IGG campaign. “Hey, I’m about to ask these people for $300K, better start looking a good bit more professional and less mean to Spongebob writers.”

And then it failed horribly, leading to a very predictable spiral.

The drugs joke was one of the few I adored from family guy because my local library is over run by homeless people and there is a high chance at least one of them sells drugs.

I don’t think he’s that intelligent. It’s probably just depression after failing to get even 10% of his goal. He truly believes he did a good job promoting it

Not a single thing went right with how he promoted Growing Around. His intro to the pitch video assumed everyone hated school (several people can't relate to that), he didn't show a lick of potential animation and the livestreams did nothing but prove to potential donators how incompetent he is with money and understanding how his own show works. Hell, in one of the livestreams he said he didn't want to tackle transgender characters because he's not comfortable with that, despite advertising that he'd be tackling topics like sexuality. All he did during that one month of the fundraiser was confuse even more people about Growing Around.
 
I think there’s actually a lesson to be learned from Enter: it can always get worse. Has there ever been a bigger lightning rod to autism than Enter? His biggest fans and biggest haters are more autistic than the man himself, and now with the discovery of Ryan and the GA indiegogo streams, it shows the people he works with are almost encouraging his behavior. Is he contagious? Is this just a symptom of the cartoon community as a whole? Is there a correct party? I mention the latter because there are people even here that make me suspicious, although they have done little to prove it. I’m not calling Enter a worse lolcow than those around him or observing him, absolutely not. Enter is a great lolcow because of other non animated atrocity factors, such as Growing Around and his crossdressing fetish. I just want to know why these people are the way they are.

I might try watching the second part of Ryan’s Lily Orchard video. Keywords being might and try, because three hours of Autismus Supremus talking about Commie McPedotroon sounds like hell.
