Forgive me if this is late, but I'm going through all these AWL related tweets from a page back.
People saying, "the Amanda Winn Lee Pen Pen video has been around for 20 years" are lying shits. It came out in the early years of the internet and fell off and was considered lost media for a long time. To the point of mythical rumor and people doubting it actually existed. It wasn't until a few years ago that someone found the old QuickTime video on a old hard drive, converted it, and put it back online. (I believe it was even kiwifarms own
@Captain Manning. Please correct if I'm wrong.)
Also, it's flat out the reason why she was effectively blacklisted from huge portions of the industry and why she didn't return as Rei in the Rebuild movies. An actual producer from Japan was there with his family, saw it, and was horrified. It's also the start of the bad blood that developed between the old ADV and Gainax. (One of the main reasons why Netflix had to redub Eva. Look up the drama over the live action Eva movie from the early 00's. Weta workshop actually did concept work and lawsuits started getting thrown around.)
It was a God damn disaster that cost thousands if not millions of dollars. Playing it off as nothing is disingenuous or stupidity to the nth degree.
