Look, I get. Dude's wife is pregnant and he doesn't enjoy having his house vandalized. Understandable. But does he really think this is anything more than random neighborhood kids screwing around?

Liam, in the event you still read this thread, NOBODY is coming all the way to Grafton Australia for you, and if they did, it wouldn't be for something as trivial as smashing your mailbox. You're not that famous.

That's what he gets for locking that router down so hard. Chinese Anon had to install a scanner in the mailbox to monitor his communications.

 

[Mister Dongs]

Did anybody watch this? I found it too disgustingly slobbish-looking and dumb/dull to do anything more than skim through it very fleetingly.

Jessi Milestone's livestream here was 20 minutes late (having evidently reconsidered the merits of drama streaming) and instead consisted of herself and Jeff in bed in their hovel as they talked to two nobodies about eating pizza, other food they at one point have eaten, the personal histories of the nobodies and their medical ailments, and so on like a newly minted Rosetta Allen. Milestone's transformation from Fandom Menace to "fandom reject" is truly amazing to watch in real time.

However all was not gloom and doom in the slovenly Milestone household..

08/17/2021 - WORLD CLASS BULLSHITTERS - STAR WARS VISIONS| JOHNNY DEPP SPEAKS| UPDATE THAT MIGHT UPSET YOU| LIVE WITH ARTIST SHANE DAVIS!

A bit of unmentioned context was that this annual gathering was referred to as the "Fandom Menace Meetup" in 2019 and 2020 and only last month was renamed the "FNT/G+G Meetup" after both Jeremy and Gary announced their abandonment of the hashtag; the WSBS couple felt this wasn't going to be a barrier to them interacting with their mutually shared fanbase.

Jeff and Jessi perhaps understandably feel dejected and alienated after being expelled from a convention while their peers and "community" stood silent and did nothing before the whims of the griftlords, like so much Zack Snyder. But they are not alone. Frog sends over his best and brightest Shane Davis to let them know that they have friends in these trying times, that they do have support they can count on. Jeff opens by saying that he will get to the "altercation in Vegas" later, but he would like to express his disappointment in the lack of respect and professionalism shown to him and Jessi at the party. An incredible display of rudeness, pettiness and small-mindedness on Gary's part. But before the WCBS people get into that, first their regular Star Wars and clickbait programming.

First: does new guest Shane Davis even like Star Wars? Shane vaguely answers "I've always been drawn into the bounty hunter aspect of Star Wars" (?) and (paraphrasing) that he liked the space western aspects like Boba Fett, but not so much the actual story. Dutifully trying to go through with this interview on a Star Wars-fandom show anyway, Jeff asks about if Shane thinks Star Wars has the coolest villains like Batman but instead Shane answers by way of talking about how he thought the prequel concept art books were the best material out on the market at the time. The Starlight Cats creator's appreciation of Star Wars only extends to the craft and process that went into realizing it as a creative professional and not much beyond that: some of the aliens and vehicles were "cool looking" in Shane's estimation while the Jedi are visually boring and monotonous. Shane suspects Lucas was trying to do an "asian thing" with the Jedi but doesn't really go into it more than that.

It's not even nine minutes in and Frog in full regalia joins to mercifully pull this show out of the ditch it has careened itself into. Making an executive decision to abort the in-depth interview with Shane Davis on Star Wars, Frog immediately begins stoking excitement about this new, Japanese, visually inspired take on Star Wars and unloads all the bells and whistles, declaring this the dawn of a new age of heterosexuality in the LucasFilm franchise. Jeff and Jessi roll out the red carpet for the Frog lord, for reasons that I hope at this point are obvious.

After having pulled the focus away from Shane Davis to the "Star Wars Visions" trailer, Frog pulls a 180 by saying he is also not interested in consooming the latest Star War content from LucasFilm - Like Zack Snyder, these people clearly hate their audience, hate Frog personally and he does not see the reason of patronizing them with a second of his time. So instead the topic is "what is the best way to dispose of a body" and fun facts about the fine state of New Jersey as the audience files in. Jeff desperately tries to efap another Star Wars outrage youtuber, but Frog can't even put himself through watching it and instead asking what Matt Jarbo is up to these days.

At half an hour, enough people have assembled that Frog decides that the altercation in Vegas can now finally be addressed. Jessi says her video captured everything there was to say on the issue, but the video is replayed while Frog asks for context on behalf of concerned observers:

As Jessi tells the story, for the past 2 years various Star Wars complaining youtubers have been gathering at a pair of afterparties at a bar during the annual Star Trek convention in Vegas, one on Thursday, one on Saturday. After the coof restrictions have been taken down, Jessi felt it would be a great chance for the gang to get together once again. Jeff points out that their presence was very welcome by nearly everyone, including the owner of the establishment and he was pressed by fans to start autographing their copies of Stealing Solo.​

​

Frog pushes for additional context. Shane presumably is drawing off-screen, silently grateful at not having to talk anymore.

Jessi evasively explains she's given all the context she can - Gary 'Nerdrotic' Buchler's actions are simply not comprehensible to a normal person. She emphasizes that after a completely non-eventful appearance on Thursday, on Saturday she was confronted by Gary's wife welcomed them by screaming "Gary told me to tell you to get the fuck out" and pointed at the door, emphasizing that this was the edict of the griftlord himself and not just his spouse being a raging crazy bitch of her own accord, something that no doubt is a real and regular occurrence in Jessi's world.​

​

Here the relating of events gets discombobulated, but what can be inferred is that Jessi did not leave and instead met aggression in kind, leading to Nerdrotic's wife running to her husband for backup. The Griftlord in the flesh shrieking that the reason they are not welcome at this Star Trek convention afterparty is that the two of them are "shitstirrers". He then marched off to order Jeff Hicks (who was signing autographs) to leave, the ogrish mulatto standing there passively while the small, elderly substance abusing bugman from San Francisco tried to physically remove the Shrek-resembling comic book bungler. Jeff sanguinely dismisses the escalation since "a little guy like [Gary]'s not going to bother me", while Jessi takes on the demeanor of a particularly angry chihuahua. Personally if I was in Gary's frail shoes, I'd be more worried about getting physically demolished by a large and temperamental Jessi Milestone in front of all my fans.

Jeff Hicks interjects to raise a fairly interesting point, which is that he gave ample notice that he would be attending the meetup ahead of time, like this now unlisted stream The Pre-Vegas-Meet Up Show (feat. Anna TSWG and Many More!), but contacted by no one saying he wasn't welcome. Everyone was polite and friendly to him on the initial meetup on Thursday - only on the very last day were these objections suddenly brought up. Jeff Hicks brings up a TFM/CG meetup in Chicago where not everyone liked each other but agreed to get along, even those two creepy ass twins that were hanging around Frog. Frog clarifies those were the Diaz brothers and then steers the show back to the debriefing. Jeff concludes by saying he calmly gave Gary his goodbyes (forever) and left.​

​

Frog asks what everyone else did: Jeremy Griggs was apparently present ushering away onlookers and trying to cover things up, as Jeremy does. Jessi hypothesizes that Gary's motive here was insecurity, that he perceived WCBS as a threat to his 'brand', but also that he just dislikes her "for some reason, he just does".

Frog offers his own interpretation of events - that there have been multiple divides in the communty and that it's undergoing a steady phase of disintegration: First there was the Zack Snyder schism, then the MechaRandom vs Tom Connors feud, then Ryan Kinel denouncing Doomcock as his fans as a grifter and his retards, and the latest being Frog's spat with Az/HeelsVsBabyface. Jessi sided with MechaRandom and Merry Mayhem against Tom Connors, Gary Buchler consigliere and found herself persona non grata in Gary's books as a result. Jessi agrees that a divide exists.

Encouraged, Frog continues to elaborate, explaining at 57:30 that when Jessi got together when the other Fandom Menace bitches to "try and cancel Tom", Nerdrotic took umbrage to this. Jessi receives this... less well and Frog starts to immediately backpedal. She demands Frog repeat what he said, and after having obliged her, demanding an explanation how it was "cancelling" someone. Frog obfuscates with just a hint of nervousness in his voice, opting to focus on MechaRandom's week of explosions. Jessi accepts the out and pauses to read superchats and field questions from Shane Davis. Frog declares himself behind the couple 100% and renders his verdict - that this was a meetup for the Anti-SJW community and not a personal party.

Verdict delivered, the next two hours were followed by Johnny Depp news, idle small talk and Frog playing his piano and can be skipped.



CONCLUSION

So who's to say who truly owns this Vegas pubcrawl, the fandom and community or the people that went to the trouble of organizing it? I think this photograph posted by Jessi Milestone herself illustrates the issue:

Jessi may genuinely believe that she is participating in a fandom community and perhaps the previous get-togethers in Vegas were just that. But the organizers themselves have not-so-subtly shifted their stance on this over the years, now carefully watermarking even photos of the participants as an extension of their jealously guarded personal brands. In many ways it's simply what has going on within the Fandom Menace for some time now, except expressed physically.

I never liked Nerdrotic, he looks like an AIDs carrier. Sending your wife to do your dirty work, what a faggot.

I'll never understand why people like Gary, but it was pathetic he couldn't kick her out himself. I'm also glad that people are calling out Jessi in the comments as well.

I never liked Nerdrotic, he looks like an AIDs carrier. Sending your wife to do your dirty work, what a faggot.

TBF that's what Milestone/Hicks have claimed. Not so sure I'd put them in the reliable narrator category. So I'm personally going to withhold judgment.

Especially since, love or hate GarryGriffter (of Rock and Roll Pt. Superchat fame), his channel is continuing to grow like gangbusters while those of his critics are stagnating, perhaps even contracting. IIRC Even @FROG decided to move his next art auction from Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday to avoid going toe to toe with FNT. Pretty sure he said that explicitly.

Finally, you'd think there'd be video from somebody over this, out there somewhere. The complete lack of it, at least thus far, is just weird. Hopefully at some point we'll get to see noble Garagorn face off with Uruk Hicks. Possibly a G&G/Nerdrotic orbiter too afraid of being cast out into the darkness has footage?

Finally, finally, to @Mister Dongs for wading through the swill and muck of these tedious livestreams. Dunno how you do it.

 

[YesNoMaybe]

Gary does have a voice made for talking about things. In another time, I could see him as some random guy on local sports radio. Has the same sort of energy, some Fox Sports/ESPN guy telling to sell us Tim Tebow is the pressing sports issue of the day to Gary trying to convince us WandaVision critique or whatever the fuck is this important fight against woke in entertainment. Its just a shock jock filling time and feeding the grifting beast.

I was just thinking the same thing, I can't believe there aren't some phone videos of this shit. But then again it was a Star Trek convention, those faggots don't throw down, they're too cerebral. Maybe nobody bothered because it was so visually dull.

Any pics of Gary's blue sparkly eye glitter wife, though? I noticed that even after being cruelly cussed out and cast out by her, Jessi in her account of the incident still remarked in a simpering way that she was beautiful. But I wonder how beautiful, because I mean Jessi looks at Jeff all day. And herself. So any normal-looking human probably appears beautiful to her.

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

Any pics of Gary's blue sparkly eye glitter wife, though?

If this is her, she looks like a fat middle-aged white lady with an obvious dye job to me. 45-ish seconds in, if I screw up the link. She is sitting next to Nerdrotic, at any rate, and I'd never seen her before that video. Guessing that's her.

(Not that I am anything but only a small step removed from small child frightening myself, but in relative terms I don't know I'd go out of my way to describe her as attractive.)

Edit: Her name is Melissa Wagner, and the Hair Salon she used to own was called Secret Agent Salon. That is definitely Mrs. Nerdrotic in the video. Mad Hax0r 1337 Kang skillz Invoked. Five minutes on Twitter and one minute on Google Images. About the extent of my abilities with this sort of thing. There's more out there, like Facebook, etc., but I can't be bothered.

It's one of those moments where if everyone you meet is an asshole....

Either you need to meet new people or maybe you're the asshole.

This sounds like a little of both.

 

[Absurdity]

I never liked Nerdrotic, he looks like an AIDs carrier. Sending your wife to do your dirty work, what a faggot.

I always liked Gary because he recognizes that most of our favorite entertainment properties is trash and has grown to hate everything. I appreciate the validation. And sending his wife over is only proof that he knows how to delegate. Never get into a confrontation with a narcissistic woman when you aren't a (legally) protected species.

It's definitely both, Gary obviously doesn't like her and wants nothing to do with her, but won't say it out loud to keep that grifter train running.

Jessi is obviously drama prone and has chosen sides with drama prone people like Mecharandom42 and Merry Mayhem. Not to mention she has also gotten thrown out of a bar and didn't tell the true story before, god forbid alcohol gets involved.

 

[Jarolleon]

It's from a time when comic artists and stans alike were wowed by the things Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane and others were drawing, and anything nonhuman in comics looked like an explosion in HR Giger's knife factory. Salamandroid is cut from the same cloth as Spawn's Violator, Marvel's Brood, or flanderized versions of Killer Croc. Look - a carnival performer with a skin condition.
It's eye-rolling, and a cause and symptom of the tastes of comic nerds raised on a diet of kewl and wikkid capeshit, but I can't get too wound up about singling Frog out for it when it's one of the few things he still does the same as most in the mainstream industry.

'Bollandized.' I have to remember that one.

So comic ideas are becoming like the Spanish Hapsburgs, a family tree that circles in on itself?

 

[Newman's Own]

Maybe it's time (past time) someone started a Fandom Menace drama thread.

I don't hate reading about it but FROG's tangential invovement in it is the only (tenuous at best) link to CG or comics in general.

The drama is retarded and while mildly entertaining for some seems to be completely off topic for this thread. Jesse, jeff, Gary and the rest have less than nothing to do with CG since the Stealing Solo debacle. Their current retarded drama is enough to spawn it's own thread.

If anyone actually cares they'll find it and read it. Plus there is the added benefit that Milestone would probably lose her shit reacting to it.

Just a thought.

There is a Fandom Menace thread but the OP is a complete mess with no sign of the thread creator coming back to fix his shit any time soon. I don't really have the requisite knowledge on the Fandom Menace to make my own and I'm not inclined to pay the $20 to buy Lodonis' TFM history on Kindle.

There's a few things going on, like Micah Curtis' discord getting leaked by @TheCosmicWarrior and @TESTEFY-HD, and the current topic-of-the-day on Comicsgate stream circuit is a number of the SJW gatekeeper comic pros like Chip Zdarsky and Nick Spencer moving on to greener pastures as Substack. If anyone has any thoughts they'd like to add on those subjects, feel free.

Normally I'd say point made. Except we're talking YouTubers who do nothing but sperg about capeshit or space opera or muh '90s comic books while chasing after the same pool of paypiggies. Not exactly a random collection of normies.

Edit: Upon reflection...

Spoiler: powerlevel

Though, yeah, I am kind of an asshole. Don't exactly embrace the description, but must admit that at times my behavior can be characterized as such. Probably part of the reason I can't seem to give up KF, it gives an outlet to that part of my nature not really available many other places.

 

[Shieldman]

So Nerdrotic did a livestream and talked about the drama, and he claims that Jessi was told to leave the private room, not the bar and that she "disrespected his wife".
He also talks about the Tom incident, and FROG's zeroes incident so it should have been obvious they were getting kicked out.
Also the weirdo that drops $600 every week on FNT has bought himself a seat at the table on Gary's side, uh.

Livestream was made "members only" but I managed to grab some audio (couldn't figure out how to upload directly because it's 6am and I'm a moron, sorry).
