I've seen this before, but Jesus fuck does this shit still make me uncomfortable.
I'm outside of heterosexual territory myself, to say the least, but I could never imagine thinking "this person NEEDS to be queer regardless of what they say because muh inspiration." It's always just been fucking alien to me, and it really does just rattle my cage.
Fuck.

I wanted to respond with his old Livejournal posts about how "feminine" he felt. Couldn't find them with a simple Google search, so I hope someone has them at hand.

Found the entry.
For some reason the search doesnt work. Always returns 0 results for any word so I opened each entry until this thing came up.

Most important part is at the bottom, though the opening is weird enough.
Especially the "long time" part sticks out.

Anyway, its from 2004:

Spooky.

I just had a dream that I had the most beautiful female singing voice, and I sung a song that was incredible.

Bit late to posting this (was traveling yesterday), but that actually led to some interesting things happening in the meantime.
The Grumps uploaded a new video onto their new channel to discuss common fan complaints and, as always, completely deflect the blame onto their audience.


Now to some of you who might think this title is super clickbaity...well, you're not wrong in assuming that. Some eagle-eyed users on the subreddits have been pointing out that they changed the title to that, after it was originally "What do these people in the office do?", or something to that effect, but was changed to the current title nearly a day later.

Video name changed : rantgrumps

archived 17 Aug 2019 15:43:37 UTC

Some of the more interesting points of the video are as follows:
  • This is the video where they reconfirm to anyone who regularly watches the Grumps' content that they're moving to a bigger office space, as per the garage sale mishap.
  • They admit that their style of humor has changed, but that they can't go back to that lest it feels forced...which is then followed up by a backhanded remark that it's the fans who've changed and not their own content.
  • Arin swears up and down that he's not just been hiring friends to sit around for over 5 years, even though he's still being super vague about what roles they actually have or what they actually do.
  • We are properly introduced to a couple of the interns, as well as find out that Ike, one of the aforementioned writers for Dream Daddy/Game Grumps has been shifted to being Arin's personal assistant...for reasons.
  • Their list of staff members all of a sudden dropped from ~26 to 17, so either they don't consider the Dream Daddy staff a part of their official staff, or they were lying about "not firing their friends".
  • They're not making decisions on what to play as heavily as before, meaning less variety than ever is going to be present on the channel, especially barring the NEW new schedule change from before.
  • There's an unnamed producer for Game Grumps. Not the producer for Dream Daddy, an entirely separate producer hired specifically for Game Grumps.
  • Dan had a black widow infestation in his house, porch, and garage (which is either a smoking gun that points to this being the same infestation he talked about back in July, or it's still ongoing).
    • As an aside, Dan's house is built entirely on right angles, has an incredibly cheap ceiling, and a custom-built arcade, recording room, and "fuck shower" (basically a shower with a slanted bench inside it). This info can be found in their OoT play through and mentioned for, like, a second in the accompanying TIHYDP, as well as Dan's Instagram.​
  • Several employees not listed from the previous 26 17 actually "left" Game Grumps in order to work for Real Good Touring...even though that's still a company funded and run by the Game Grumps, so they didn't actually go anywhere.
One other thing that's not mentioned in this video - but rather in the last Q&A video they did - that bears repeating once again: no, it was not out of malice (supposedly), they/Barry legitimately did forget the password for GrumpOut. Don't remember if someone here ever got around to that but there it is.

Honorable Mention
  • Taken from RantGrumps/digging around on who this person was, so take this with a grain of salt, but if this is to be believed or can be verified: Arin/Dan's last PA that got fired has been pretty busy lately.
    SpecialAmphibian6 said:
    Kati was one of Dan's old friends from New York. She moved to LA to try to make it in TV and in theater and Dan basically supported her for like a year or so. She lived with Holly and Ross, sat for Rachel and Brian (Rachel was the lead in a reading of a play that Holly and Dan basically co-funded), worked as a PA for NSP (she's in several NSP music videos - Cookies, Eating Food in the Shower, and 6969), was friends with Arin and Suzy and was on a couple of Holly's streams and LPs.

    She ended up getting caught telling false stories about Dan and Holly to impress her new theater friends, at what point, instead of apologizing, she fled to New York in the middle of the night, got a job working backstage at Hamilton and started making Blog and Instagram posts about the subject in oblique ways. She wrote a self-published booklet about it and several plays.

    She also went DFE on her social media shortly afterwards, screen caps and archive links could still be floating around if someone wants to try and find them.
During this time, TheGamerFromMars also uploaded a new video on Arin, regarding what happened on Twitter.


I don't really have an opinion on the dude, and I know many here don't really think the guy's a good content creator, but I'd be remiss if I missed out on other people's coverage of Arin's antics, good or bad.

EDIT: Reminder that pretty much all of this was revealed in a single video, with minimal confirmation/research needing to be done on my part. This isn't stuff that needs deep undercover gay-ops, this shit just happens or just gets said flat-out by the Grumps.

I thought Ike was the guy from Texas, who was hired to write their 'improv' skits?

Either way, going from a writer to a gofer - talk about degrading.

Considering they're still peddling Dream daddy merch in their shop; it's a safe bet that the Dream Daddy crew is still under their employ.

They're not making decisions on what to play as heavily as before, meaning less variety than ever is going to be present on the channel, especially barring the NEW new schedule change from before.

Then who's deciding what they should play? Someone's got to be making those decisions. Also, I think someone had mentioned that the Grumps said they 'may' play games that fans had donated to them. If that's true, maybe instead of implying they 'might' play something someone donated to them, maybe they could grab one of the hundreds of games fans have already sent them over the years.

Considering how easy it is to retrieve/reset a password in this day and age (all you need is an email addy or a phone number connected to the channel), I'm inclined to believe that they wanted to start fresh with a new channel instead of using a channel that's been dead for years - which there's nothing wrong with. But, if that were the reason, why lie about it?

If I had to guess, it's because saying they forgot the password plays more into their brand image as lovable dumbasses. It could be legit, though. I've heard people say that Barry had the password and GG feels too awkward to reach out to him in any way. But who knows?

Wait, they have a guy for writing improv skits now? Do they not know the fucking definition of "Improv"? The form of comedy they built some of their career on?

Unless I got the names mixed up. I mean, it's possible - as there are so many new interns that you never know who's who or what they do at any given time because the Grumps never take the time to introduce anyone, anymore. However, I'm pretty sure Ike came into the Grumps fold well after Dream Daddy had been launched (I think he was first mentioned earlier this year).

welp he started twilight again and so far it went about as well as I expected. Though dan did lean into arin a little for not getting heart pieces or paying attention if I was a hopefull person I would say that he either reads the yt comment or the sub/redit or he incognitos and visits kiwi. Either way see how long it last hopefully this is a turning point.
 
I dont remember if this have been talked about. But in reference of the fact that Suzy can actually reign in Arin from getting into wierder things, i remember that a few years ago while Dan and Arin where talking about Foreskin, Arin mentioned that he had actually started to look into one of those foreskin restoration societies, but when Suzy found out she just told him strait up no and to drop it right then and there.
Else Arin might have gorne a bit more gamedude
 
Hey what’s the deal with this new hashtag?

Valid criticism of Who's Line Is It Anyways? for decades now. Though considering it's multinational appeal and longevity, maybe improv is truly an illusion and a paradox.

After watching Good Game though, it's clear that the Grumps can't write anything well.

Jesus Christ. Do you think Arin ever looks at shit like this and wonders what the fuck happened? This is the audience he chose to cultivate and encourage. All at the expense of most of his long time friends and everyone at Newgrounds.

Also, crossdressing aside, why is Arin a vampire caveman? Edit: Holy shit it's from that Spider Trans weirdo. That suddenly makes a lot more sense.

I don't think he considers any of his Newgrounds peers (or Jontron) to be his friends.
If he does, then he is a really shitty friend, considering what he did to DingDong.
