TGWTG Dan Olson / Folding Ideas - Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster, Child Pornographer, and All-Around Exceptional Individual

Yes. YES. It's not exactly a coincidence that there's a huge clinical overlap between people with ASD and gender dysphoria. Some just have aspergian views on gender, and figure that they must be a girl deep down because they never liked sports or roughhousing.
Obviously lots of healthy kids like doing stuff outside of their gender role, but it takes some weird degree of self-centeredness to interpret your love of books as an identity. And by identity I don't mean "mystery novel fangirl", I mean "I must have a wolf spirit since as a kid I was obsessed with animal books"

Not to mention, the better a work is, the less anyone'll give a shit about genres and target demos anyway.

Holy shit, that is some epic level virtue signalling.

If your fellow students require weeks to read a book, then you must have been at one of those special schools you ride the short bus to, Dan. You shouldn't be bragging about being able to read a 4th grade level book in days, either. If it takes you more than an hour or two to read an Encyclopedia Brown book, then your parent's assessment of your illiteracy was correct.

No, Dan - reading "girly" novels doesn't mean that you can relate to women, gays, or trans*people, no more than reading "Roots" or "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" can make your pasty Canadian ass relate to black people.

But fine - go ahead and feel special because you read sci-fi/fantasy by Ursula K. LeGuin, CJ Cherryh, Anne Rice, Anne McCaffery, Octavia Butler, James Tiptree, Jr., or JK Rowling. Only you, and no one else reads their work. Just you, you special snowflake.

-signed, an actual faggot who's been reading books since the age of 2.

The girly books he's bragging about reading were are listed as being in the half-dozen page range, for children ages seven and up. He would've been ten at the time.

Considering, as of his 20s or 30s, he's too stupid to know why the color of human blood is used as a warning signal -- or for that matter, why child pornography distribution is not an acceptable tactic for civilian vigilantism -- he must've been going to the specialist sped-school in his province.

Taking a break from lolcow-ishness, it seems Dan has adopted a double-white hedgehog:

In the hedgehog world (and most of the animal kingdom) being double-white makes you a minority, and the hedgehog's female, so she's doubly lacking in privilege. No wonder Dan adopted her.

Right, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Earlier this week Dan teased a big piece of news on Twitter:

Is it that you've realised you're a sperg Dan? Cos we already know that. Joking aside, he finally revealed this news yesterday:

Question is: will this improve the quality of his work? I sincerely doubt it. Any of the people who are unfortunate enough to work with him are doubtless yes-men who he surrounds himself with to validate his opinions and shoddy work.

That's the big news?

I doubt this guy makes enough revenue to buy anything off the McDonald's' Value Menu, so unless he's paying this person with the clumps of hair he finds on his pillow every morning, they're most likely not getting paid jack shit.

To be fair, we can't expect much from a dude who prides himself in reading books and shoot pics with his ass.
He is just attention whoring, with all the 'hey dudes i have a cool and deep secret but i'll not reveal because im busy with the meaning of life'.

Maybe Lindsay is doing so badly he hired her to do some editing work. Which is weird, where would he get the money to hire an editor? Surely he's not doing the kind of business that warrants or can even afford an assistant editor.

Just for funsies, I decided to look into Dan's stint at Channel Awesome.
From the Channel Awesome Wiki said:
Folding Ideas is a media analysis show hosted and written by Dan Olson (aka Foldable Human). His style is relatively analytical among other internet reviewers, mostly observing works within their cultural context rather than from a fan's point of view.
The show originally aired on Youtube before being picked up by Chez Apocalypse. It then made its official premiere on Channel Awesome on August 7th, 2014. In September 2015, Dan revealed he mutally parted ways with the site after his trial period ended.

tl;dr, Dan's show was too boring, even by TGWTG's standards.

See that? That's the only mention of Dan on the Channel Awesome website.

He was never on Channel Awesome, he was on Lindsay's shitty Chez Apocolypse - you know, where Lindsay took patreon money to "improve" the website, then never did, dodged every question, and claimed "harassment" when people asked about it.

Ooooh, sorry. I was mistaken.
Anyway, I'm guessing the Chez Apocalypse website is now defunct?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, before I found the Farms, I did not know you could monetize your mental illness via Paetron. Is there a list somewhere of how much each diagnosis in the DSM is entitled to beg for? I don't want to get out of my lane.
