I knew that someone would mention JDF in this thread sooner or later LOL
 
I'd go with comic strip creator, Tom Batiuk. Batiuk had a good start with Funky Winkerbean which followed the lives of four teen boys as they grew-up and made lives of their own. Over time, the strip would focus on real-life issues like teen pregnancy, censorship and cancer. In fact one of his arcs that deals with Lisa (the wife of one of the original boys, Les) getting breast cancer and he was nominated for a Pulitzer for it. This and along with other positive attention he got for his stories made his head swell-up and he convinced himself that he was a "serious writer". The problem was the he mistaken "serious" for gloom and doom, unpleasant characters who look dumpy, haggard and at least 10 years older than they are; smug smirking and bummer upon bummer piled upon the cast.
Hell, there's a page dedicated to a monthly column that tackled the most depressing moments of of the comic and it's sister one, Crankshaft (which is about a cranky, destructive, sociopathic old man).

Here's some other highlights...

-Unable to reach the same amount of recognition when he made a second cancer story (that involved the breast cancer returning and killing off Lisa) or his other arcs, he's been milking the cancer thing for years. Every year, the comic has a "Lisa's Legecy Run" where Les and the cast raise awareness for breast cancer (one year they did it twice). He tried to publish a novel version of the cancer story and it failed, but it's a big hit and is going to be made into a film in the comic.

-Anyone who criticizes him for being depressing or shoving cancer down their throats (no matter how civil and open-minded the critique is) are accused of being "hidebound literalists" who can't appreciate serious subject matter in comics and only want mindless humor. He even made a storyline where a supporting character wanted to do a school play about cancer ("Wit"), but all the strawman parents were mad about it being about "cancer and death." When in reality "Wit" is a bad choice for a school play since it's a one-woman act that is well-known for being so difficult that even college-level actresses have problems pulling it off.

-The man loves to pump serious subjects into his comic only to fail at it. One of them, the arc about an openly gay couple wanting to attend prom is met with protest. The thing is that Batiuk turns it into a self-congratulating opus. We don't even know the gay boys' names, what they feel about the protest or even see them again after the first few strips; the principal is Batiuk's mouthpiece who convinces the protestors (except one who is told to shut-up) to let the couple in, a mysterious gay kid (who is hidden behind some prom decorations) congratulates the principal for being such a bit help to the gay community and said principal and his wife are made prom king and queen.

It's amusing just to watch how much both comics can slip into failed attempts to be "serious work", Batiuk's own self-pity over how no one understands his vision (via Les in the Hollywood arc) and how much worse (or at least depressing) the comic can get. For you comic book fans, he's got the kind of geek attitude that would make other comic geeks want to avoid him and his characters.
 
I know you guys have mentioned Butterbup Dew in the old Brony thread, but I used to follow this guy's tumblr because he's in a unique class of nutty bronies. He had a mess of essays on how MLP:FIM is this pro-white, nationalist and ethnic purity screed. (He used to be a big supporter of enforced Christianity, but then dropped it for Greek/Roman paganism.) The irony to this is that he is openly gay, has mixed ethnicity (British with Italian heritage), proudly sings the praises of a show that is mainly for little girls. If he got his wish, he'd be thrown into the ovens before he can say "master race."

Here's one of my favorites on how Neanderthals are these superior beings who are more artistic, nicer and introverted compared stupid, extroverted, macho, hedonistic Cro Magnums. (And basically, gay male Bronies are Neanderthals.) And how the game, Crysis, is racist against whites.

Then there's this...
 
So I was walking down the road, minding my own business, when... it walked towards me.

"It" is actually three persons, two girls and one dude, who were very obviously (as in: demonstrating it for the world to see and admire) in a polyamorous BDSM relationship. The guy seemed to be the dom as he led the two chicks around on leashes.

See, I have nothing against BDSM, I'm somewhat kinky myself. I also like chubby girls, I find them very cute and sexy. But these three managed to break the sound barrier of ridiculousness.

The dude was decked out in "SEE I'M COOL AND TOUGH" attire, black biker-style leather and mirrored sunglasses. He reminded me of Chris in his "gay trucker" outfit if one had thrown him into a barrel of pseudo-coolness. The two chicks... You probably still remember the three highschool-goth-style actresses in the Maradonia trailer. Well, imagine that two of these had been subjected to the weird inflation fetish of some deviant artists. Then you get the idea. This wasn't chubby, this was a body type making Chris look anorexic in comparison. Plus skimpy clothing that made the fat bulge out everywhere.

This event sure added some refined lulz to my afternoon.

This guy. And for some good reasons.
First of all, JDF on facebook. Around the time I was getting into tokusatsu, JDF broke the world record for most pine boards destroyed while jumping out of a plane (his record has since been beated). I thought cool, so decided to follow him.
* He ends most posts with an annoying "yeeeeeeeeeea"
* He sometimes posts pictures of his family in compromising positions, such as a picture of his wife sleeping, his 11 year old daughter in the bath (with a swimming suit) or one of his wife in a swimsuit with a nipple visible (Don't really mind these, but there are critics who use this against him.)
* Shares almost anything doing with his time as a ranger.
* Recently, he's been posting vids of him trying to be cool and funny. These include breaking a changing station in a public bathroom and, I swear this is true, "street racing" a car in trying to pass him by speeding up. With the latter, I think his daughter was in the vehicle.

So, there's that. Then you have his con appearances. Now many fans will swear he's a great guy, very down to Earth. The problem is many people will state that they have had bad experiences with him. Case in point, this account popped up after a recent con.
http://www.rangerboard.com/showthread.php?t=168282
To summarize:
* Man and his daughter go to meet JDF.
* While getting photos taken with him, the process is so rushed his daughter's face is covered by the morpher prop in the photo.
* When going to get the photo autographed. Man gave JDF a drawing he did years ago and was cut off with JDF telling him to follow him on facebook and was pushed aside. The whole meeting took about 15 seconds.
* Daughter started crying about not being able to give him her picture.
* Aide brought daughter back to JDF, where he accepted her picture.
* With mixed feelings afterwards, they attended another autograph session. With no one else in line, JDF wouldn't even look up from his cellphone.

This made it back to JDF, where he tried to say he was sick at the time. Then he accused the OP of being a hater (was actually a very big fan beforehand) and said "send me back the picture and I'll send you back the money."

Note, this was someone else calling JDF out, not the OP


Recently, Austin St. John (Jason) returned to the con circuit (he had been a paramedic in the Middle East for the last couple of years). JDF pulled out of a con hours after St. John's appearance was announced. JDF tried to claim something about how he promised time with his daughter or had a shoot, but the con head said in an interview it was because of a clause in JDF's contract. See, JDF can pick which other Rangers he appears with, and since he has a grudge against St. John (supposedly about stories St. John said on set 20 years ago and using a stage name. At one time he kept pushing for him and St. John having a real fight "because the fans want it"). Then, JDF says he would appear but only if the rest of the original rangers did for free.

I should point out JDF is the highest paid ranger in the convention circuit.

A few months back, there was this contest. Kids at home got to vote for their favorite rangers, with the winners of each match continuing on to the next week. Voting was limited to once per day. JDF did the following:
* Started off by telling his fans to vote for him (fine)
* Offered autographs to fans who vote for all three of his rangers every day that week (they must post pictures to prove it) (A little iffy, but I'll allow it)
* When his rangers were losing, he posted on facebook that he couldn't understand, the votes must be rigged by haters and finished by saying "I am your hero." (Whut?)
* Posted on facebook how to get around voting restrictions (Foul)
* When whoever was running the show deleted votes deemed fraudulent, most rangers lost thousands while JDF lost merely a few hundred and won his races. No punishment for telling his followers how to cast fraudulent votes.
* During a soon-after reddit session, he deflected questions about his actions. He cited it was the haters who cast the fraudulent votes and he doesn't condone cheating.
He will always maintain he does everything for his fans.

Some other stuff:
* Posted a picture of himself with executive producer Jon Tzachor, saying Tzachor saved Power Rangers after Disney "ruined it" (Tzachor comes under intense scrutiny from fans and former crew members due to being a notorious cheapskate while heading some of the worst received seasons). When people asked him what he meant (often pointing out that JDF starred in a Disney season), he said Disney ruined the show by not promoting it. Nothing to do with the actual quality of those seasons.
(Tzachor is being replaced next year, likely because the current season, Megaforce, has underperformed in both ratings and toy sales. JDF's post seems to me him coming to the defense of a friend)
* Has a youtube "reality show" about himself called My Morphin' Life."
* When the upcoming Mighty Morphin' reboot movie was announced he, and I shit you fucking not, posted the personal contact information of one of the higher-ups at Lionsgate and told his followers to tell Lionsgate to put him in the movie. This was within hours of the announcement and fans did contact her, saying no one would watch a Power Rangers movie without JDF.
* Tried to pitch a solo Green Ranger movie starring himself for the last few years.
* When asked about his time on the set, his stories will change to whatever will make him look the best. Take for instance St. John, Walter Jones or Truy Trang (RIP) leaving. If they are with him at the panel, he will say he agreed with them and would have walked if he didn't have a newborn at the time. If alone, he will condemn them for being too greedy.
* Some issues with him behind the scenes. Supposedly put a fly in David Yost's (Billy) sandwich and farted on a sleeping Steve Cardenas (Rocky). While working on Disney's Dino Thunder, was said to be a drama queen who only cared about getting his closeup by castmate Emma Lahana.
* Has bashed former Rangers who turned down returning for the 20th anniversary (they often cite they were expected to do so for little pay. According to Matt Austin (SPD Green), he would have taken a personal loss by doing so)
* Has said people who don't like Tommy/Him are not "true Power Rangers fans."
* Often said to be the face of the franchise. I'd like to point out the series was only saved from cancellation during Turbo when he (and the other vet rangers) left and were replaced. The Turbo movie tanked and viewership had been on the decline since around the second season (where he took over as leader and the aforementioned departure of Jason, Trini and Zack occured)
* Decided to hold a panel when he was scheduled to sign autographs.

His fans also seem to think people criticize him because "it's the cool thing to do" because he's so big.

I never did like the Green Ranger in the first place. He always appeared to me as a douche and I had that opinion when I was 7.

By the way, there are a bunch of lolcows in the tokusatsu/power ranger community.

There's this one guy, I'll call D, who throws bitch fits about fandom memes (like Megaforce Pink being an environmental terrorist/serial killer/in a lesbian relationship with Yellow. Mostly a combination of the three) and interpretations (like Samurai Yellow being mentally 5) because he either disagrees (and will phrase it in such a way to let you know he disagrees with the general census. Every time.) or doesn't like it (and shouldn't have to see it). Basically, he holds what the writers intended way above how it comes across.

Off topic but this kind of remind me of the butthurt over using the dairanger suit in Super Megaforce and drama over Zyu2 footage (Grnrngr threatening to withheld the footage if the fandom didn't worship the ground he walk and the massive butthurt from him when a former shunt coordinator upload all the footage onto youtube)

Wow. What the fuck. This is very slightly depressing to me, the Green Ranger was my first crush. Admittedly it was because of his hair. He had that ponytail back in the day, which I was amused to notice yeeeeears later was really short. I had never seen boys with long hair before, and my mom haaaated boys with long hair, so it was a combination of exotic and forbidden that made him hard to not fancy. Of course, I was eight at the time.

Still, its never fun when you learn an old crush is actually a shitty person. Shame. It's sad when people cling to 20+ year old fame.

I always thought he was good looking when I was younger as well. Shame what he became though.
 
He was practically me and my older brother and cousin's favorite ranger when we were growing up (well one of them for me, but that's another story).

I always loved his over exaggerated HIYA's.
 
Not sure what this uncover as but I want vent out this LULz.

Basically I was doing a livestream and I had Skype on at the same time. There is that group chat and whenever my name gets mentioned, I get notified. So I got notified and wanted to check it but rather than show it when a livestream was on my computer. I checked it on my iPad. I can't believe what they said was so shallow.

It is because, we have these livestreams and one of the chat conversations were about certain LOLcows but they were all better than this guy http://cwckiforums.com/threads/the-golden-knight.3538/ . But seeing what happened on Skype, had one person left, not sure if he wanted to leave because he is fed up the conversation. But other person said he avoided my Livestream because he could get access then he left because of the conversation, don't know if he did it because they were repetitive or wanted to avoid the two certain friends. And another friend on Skype avoided my stream for that reason too. Yet, I haven't seen him on other streams lately due to his laptop not working, however, he hosted one tonight.

I honestly wish they come to the stream without the conversation about their subject of distaste putting them off. Easy, use full screen mode, ignore the conversation, look on your Facebook or deviantART or switch the sound off if I mention the convo. Livestreams are for the drawing and subjects change after 5 mins.
 
When I went to college the first time, I befriended an older woman who seemed alright at first. She was right-wing, yet pro-environment and adecent conversationalist. The problem was that she had a trigger with anything sexual (even mentioning something being sexy/sensual, like a radio add about a show). She had this seething hatred towards sex to the point that she believed that we should teach kids and teens "to hate and fear sex" because they are "too stupid to understand it". She compared sex-ed to "teaching a kid how to build a bomb and then say not to use it."

One time, we had an assignment where we were to design our own tarot card (via Photoshop) and one student picked "The Lovers." She used a picture of a naked, hetro couple looking fondly at each other in an innocent way (it seemed that way to me) as they had their arms around each other. She got very upset with it and called it filthy during the peer critique. I explained to her that The Lovers is supposed to have nude bodies and she replied in a disgusted tone, "They should be called The Lusters, not The Lovers."

I was very tempted to ask if she was raped or molested when she was younger (probably as a teen) to her hate towards teen sexuality and sex in general. (She didn't seem like a hardcore fundy.) But I held my tongue on that and just worried about any kids she has or will have once they hit puberty.

Yeah, she was molested.
 
She won't be having kids anytime soon. Everyone can come up with reasons why, and even if they're all different, they'll still be valid.

I'm guessing by an older sibling since teen sex makes her angry.

Or she had a very conservative upbringing. She may not of been molested, but if her parents were aggressive and even abusive about the possibility of sex, that alone could leave scars in her mind.

My guess is that he pressured the guy who created the group to add him back in as an admin. The group creator is nice, but I think he's a bit too nice for his own good.

Also, from what I had seen, everybody got the same amount of likes with each picture they posted. He's specifically targeted me, my fiancé and two of my friends as the main source of his jealous feelings. I don't know what's more pathetic, that he's angry over a few piddly little likes on Facebook or that he's jealous of us. :lol: We're just a bunch of weirdos!

It is a shame he has gone this way. I mean is, from 2010 to 2011, his characters were at the same facial direction and thought he can only draw humans all the time but then experimented by doing angles and drawing non humans and actually did comics which he was improving alot and and a pleasant guy to talk to. He told me not to feel left out if I didn't get comments on work and move on.
Years later, he got too busy to draw because he has to do his videos like it was a chore and compared it to my university work amount. But he whenever he did his art, he was still improving. But then the 'this is why I don't always get nice things' attitude struck.
I mean, he started getting jealous at the certain artists and not adding his characters to group shots. I can relate as I tried to improve for years and got upset for not getting the right amount of feedback, but since then, I matured enough to not let get to me (and understood the reasons why people might of not got me feedback due to lack of time and strain). He also gets annoyed at the lack of comments too.
What annoys me about this are the facts, he says he gets too busy to comment on my work and other peoples work, yet he comments on my friend's work and he gets upset if doesn't get his amount. He also gets more feedback than me, I get about 3 to 5 and he gets about 10+ depending on the deviation. He also told me not to get upset if I didn't get the comments and not to leave dA as a result.
In conclusion, I guess we are spoilt.

That's actually really sad. I mean, she might have been asexual, but that would just mean that she's not interested in sex, not that she has to be repulsed by it. For an aversion of that magnitude without something like a religion to back it up? Yeah, past trauma sounds pretty likely. :c

Did she ever mention seeing a counselor or therapist?
