Reading the article, I find it humorous that the showrunner actually thinks that the criticism about Stormfront was that you can't have Nazis as a bad guy, and not that it's just fucking tiresome to beat the exact same dead horse that every other entertainment property has already pulverized into the dirt. The first season was great because it was predominantly corporate satire, and thus relatable to pretty much everyone who's got a bone to pick with the megacorps running the place. Once the second season decided to go more into politics, it was a real damper on an otherwise good show.

Also, the showrunner apparently thinks that the glut of Marvel movies led to Trump, because they trained people to wait for someone strong to save them, and that's why Trump won. Ironically, I'm echoing Bobby's sentiments up there, though applied to all the non-political stuff (no surprise Bobby actually loves that): I'm increasingly convinced that anything about The Boys that was good was made in spite of its creators and not because of them, if they're this retarded. This is literally as dumb as "Gamergate caused Trump," possibly dumber.

The issue with The Boys is that the source material had several decent ideas in theory, but so horribly executed them, that ANY changes to the source material would be an improvement.

As for Stormfront, since they already radically changed the character by making her female and tech savy, they should have just made her an out and out super-villain (something the comic never properly explored in the Boys Universe) and a super-powered supremacist at that. Someone who doesn't care about race, just if you have power or no powers. and that those with powers are living Gods who can do whatever they want and what Stormfront wants, is to rule the world with the normies as slaves. Basically Magneto minus the maudlin "Holocaust" backstory that Claremont came up with, that serves as the the ultimate worst case scenario for Compound V and it's users.

It would give Butcher purpose after they revealed that his wife was alive and had left him/was over him, give him a tangible reason for caring/giving a shit about her son with Homelander (fearing that Stormfront will get her hooks into him and use Butcher's hatred of the kid to turn him to her side), and give Homelander and company a true existential threat, a proper super-villain who wants to conquer the world and who demands the Seven join her or die violently at her hand. And quasi-preserves the thematic elements of the plot point that the the main villain of the series is Homelander's dark double; not a literal one as in the comics with Black Noir being a clone of Homelander, but in Homelander's double being an evil female counterpart who not only shares Homelander's super powered supremacist views, but is unrestrained by Homelander's public standing as a "hero" that keeps him from publicly acting on them and actively HATES Homelander because he would rather be loved and a "hero" than kill/enslave the normal people of the world and create an Earth controlled and ruled by super-powered beings.

He also believe he was a soldier in the console wars, that as a teenager playing games he was vital to the fight against censorship in the 90s[.]

I was alive in the 90s. I am the same age as Bob. A little older, actually.

You know how we fought censorship in the 90s? We bought Sega, or asked for Sega from our parents. Eventually Nintendo realized censoring the blood out of things like Mortal Kombat was fucking gay and hurting their bottom line.

It was that simple. If Bob claims he did anything else, at that age, he's a fucking idiot and a liar.

But I suspect you all know that last part already.

And remember, everyone, Nintendo was sucking Joe Biden’s cock in the senate hearings about possibly censoring video games!

Should note that you had to enter a cheat code to play Mortal Kombat uncensored on Genesis. Without the code, MK1 was censored on the Genesis.

Also, because Sega had Mortal Kombat uncensored (granted via cheat code) on Genesis, it lead to a huge upswing in sales for the Genesis and led to the Genesis version of MK1 outselling the SNES version. Which was enough for Nintendo to basically cave and cave HARD when MK2 came out; they released MK2 uncensored purely to prevent a repeat of the PR and sales disaster that was MK1 and not only did the SNES MK2 outsell the Genesis MK2 (which likewise was released uncensored and this time without requiring a cheat code), but they also fast tracked the creation of their OWN bloody MK inspired game (Killer Instinct).

Sounds like a line someone who is just waiting for the paperwork to clear to air out laundry would say.

Unfortunate that it probably won't happen...

And remember, everyone, Nintendo was sucking Joe Biden’s cock in the senate hearings about possibly censoring video games!

And before him, it was (then) Sen Joe Lieberman (D). Al Gore's pick for VP. Lost to W.

The compromise agreed to back then was to form the ESRB and self-regulate within that system. Then there was sort of a detente, and games became overall more edgy under that new system. Nintendo, under Howard Lincoln, was trying to fuck over Sega (because, back then, they were a legit threat), but all that really happened is they were forced to be more like Sega.

Bob didn't do shit. There's probably like 50 documentaries on YouTube concerning this.

My favorite thing about Bob is that he'll tell somebody on Twitter to grow up, and then a couple of tweets later he'll make some really cringe metaphor regarding how a fictional video game character would think about something.

What would Mario think about Gamer Gate? Nothing, you stupid fuck! He doesn't exist!

Bob is delusional. I do not comprehend how he even dresses himself in the morning, much less make a career of this shit.

Correct. But the point is, it was in there. Sega knew about it. Sega tested it. Sega green lighted it. Arena (Acclaim) undoubtedly "leaked" the code the day it shipped. Sega was willing to push boundaries Nintendo wasn't.

Best you could do on SNES? Hex edit the game via Game Genie to palette swap the white "sweat" for blood. And the fatalities weren't coded at all, so you're just shit outta luck there.

And don't even get me started on what Nintendo did to Wolfenstein 3D.

Bob's diet might have rotted his memory, with my google academic skills I found this

Even without the code, there was blood in the Genesis version. The code enabled the equivalent of the arcade machine set to maximum gore and unlocked all fatalities.

Also this is the first live video of him I've watched in a while and I can't get over how weird his head is. Too big for his body, no neck, perfectly potato shaped. The texture looks like someone tried to make a Muppet out of circus peanuts. Aging gracefully Bob is not.

Blob's head reminds me of a dried up potato.

He also believe he was a soldier in the console wars, that as a teenager playing games he was vital to the fight against censorship in the 90s, that if he shuts up then Gamergate will win, and that he's part of the reason James Gunn got hired back onto Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

He's always been delusional.


When the Pixels review went viral, it was on Stern. That's it, nothing much else.

During the great video game wars i became a demon.

How much of an obsolete mayo-ghoul must one man's life be to get fired from the utterly irrelevant no-name video-game Lusitania known as the Escapist.TWICE!

 

[Marissa Moira]

I don't understand why it was such a monumental feat to get your parents to buy you both a Super Nintendo and a Genesis.

Especially back then when there were more major retailers than today and shit was heavily discounted. Like you had 6 major toy store chains in the US. That and this was the era before Gamestop so you usually wound up inheriting a ton of older game stuff and could amass a collection of 50-100 games from just relatives discarding stuff.

How much of an obsolete mayo-ghoul must one man's life be to get fired from the utterly irrelevant no-name video-game Lusitania known as the Escapist.TWICE!

Imagine it's like violin player on the titantic, except they throw you overboard because you play so bad and you claw your way back up and you still continue to play real bad that they throw you overboard again while the ship is sinking.

 

[Ghostface Killer]

Bob got fired from the Escapist again.

Lmfao what work was he even doing for them lately? He cant stop tweeting to actually do his job tbh. Also, doesnt he get like 6k a month on patreon? Will this even hurt him?

mario would probably be misogynistic if anything since hes a wop in a medieval kingdom with seemingly strict gender rolls. mario odyssey establishes this actually. mario is canonically a gger

I just noticed that Bob unpinned the tweet advertising his "personal" account.
View attachment 1667387
and after doing a quick search

https://tw.tinf.io/search?q=@BobChipman_1981 (from:the_moviebob)&src=typed_query&f=live

It looks like he deleted the tweet advertising his "personal" account.

He also removed his link to The Escapist.

So this confirms that the Escapist pressured Bob into making that account. We all basically knew it, but it's nice of him to confirm it by dropping it immediately after being laid off. Also means that his twitter behaviour had at least something to do with this, but considering how poorly his videos perform, they'd probably got rid of him even if he wasn't a raging asshole.

And some of Bob's orbiters are in deep, deep denial, even after Bob himself confirmed it.

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

Does anyone know about how the escapist pays? As in, did he get a fixed monthly salary, was it a revenue sharing model or just paid per vid?

We were trying to figure it out in Yahtzee’s thread a while back, why people choose to work with the escapist and if leaving them is a huge financial hit?

 

[Princess Rescuer]

I'm still going with "Fired" and not the halfhearted "didn't renew contract" thing.

It was probably due to dead weight and low views- not the Twitter shenanigans or the False Flagging Campaign on someone just for having an opinion.

Has it made him unhireable? Probably not. Maybe not at the Escapist where he's clearly out of his league. I'm sure some other progressive journalism website with an agenda will probably cushion him based on patreon numbers alone.

I doubt The Escapist would bother hiring someone who just doesn't get results especially now that they have someone with RedLetterMedia name recognition.

 

[Archeopthryx]

That's quite an achievement. Being fired by the same place twice.
