The Tumblr Files - Official Thread (Case I: Steven Universe) - An exposé on the media and people that destroyed the Internet

Long story short, Dev used to be heavily antiquated with known troon Lillith Lovett, hosting a podcast with him and another YTer named Scrump. Dev often gives off the impression that Lillith has him on a leash, and he gets a lot of flack for trying to "both sides" a lot of issues, and that includes him bending over for troons, like what happened during the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light incident in 2023.

That, and Dev's often embarrassed himself in a lot of public places, like Arch's podcast, or the many times he went after Vtuber Kirche. I still like most of Dev's videos, given they're more politically neutural in a world of HBomberGuys, but I can perfectly understand why people hate him.
Dev can make good videos, he often chooses not to however. Most people that hate him used to like him tbh.

His skullgirls video is pretty good tho.
 
If i'm correctly informed dev is allegedly the reason why phil fish abandoned the gaming industry since he went thru some leaked docs and reported how he was involved in a corruption racket with some canadian award organization, after all that he claims an anonimous source informed him that phil got shadow banned from the industry , crazy stuff

Since we are talking about Phil Fish, one of the craziest parts about his history is the fact that a documentary on him was the reason why Notch sold Minecraft to Microsoft. There was a video by breadtuber Innuendo Studios called "This is Phil Fish" which Notch saw and he realized that the controversy surrounding FEZ mirrored the controversy people had with him, this scared him and he decided to sell out Minecraft in order to distance himself from his own creation
He literally admitted to it in the interview

It's interesting but i don't quite buy it, what i believe is that the video helped to finalize his decision since the official reason why phil sold everything was his egomania, asshole behavior and a lack of capacity to handle pressure while Notch realized he had no longer a place in modern culture with him having right leaning libertarian views

On media that was popular on Tumblr, long ago i read on the encyclopedia dramatica that Firefly stole many elements so blatantly from an anime called outlaw Star that even the Wikipedia pointed this out, turns out that when some people pointed this out fans of said series chimped the fuck out so much that the fact had to be deleted from the wiki, this case is also used by critics of Joss whedon to point out he is not very original

Joss Whedon pretty much created the template for the Tumblr-era male feminist. He made a bunch of shows and movies with quippy dialogue, was responsible for the "Make it dark but tell a joke" quote, had a ton of strong female characters™, created Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog during the 2008 writer's strike, and so on. Tumblr loved him, yet behind the scenes he berated a ton of women and treated them poorly anyway, and was one of the major victims of #MeToo.

Was it him or some other guy who had heavy charges against CSAM material or something? I don't mean Dr. Pizza, I mean another guy, but I think he worked on Marvel-related crap. He has a similar-ish name. Definitely the look of a soyboy, however.
 
The thing is that how much does modern media relies from ripping off from japanese media, we know that Joss whedon stole from (then) obscure 90s ovas, we know that the modern steven universe likes also stole from more mainstream anime like utena or sailor moon, how much of modern series are made by late 90s weebs trying to imitate their favorite anime ?

Whedon straight-up directed the first two Avengers films.
 
That's also an interesting talking point, how many people from cal arts & similar places are creeps?, Mariel Cartwright was an unapologetic ero guro degenerate, there are allegations against Joss, Rebbeca sugar did cuestionable art in the past, there was some wild allegation with Alex hirch bringing a laptop full of porn to his office and we have the case Kyle Carrozza who by now is a convicted pedo

It's definitely another case of an Epstein-level scandal just waiting to happen. It's just a matter of when and what, not if.

Didn't happen with (((Hirsch))), but will hopefully happen soon. Cartoon creators of the 2020s seem like freaks you'd pick from a pride parade or so.

You would think from that day foward the gay community would have some good leadership and try not to have a divided community. Days later we have the whole "dropping the G" thing and other nonsense with troons. I was right to think that 2015 was the last year for real honest funposting.

You'd think, (that is, if you didn't actually think that fucking hard) that from that day forward, the gay community would have simply quit while they were still ahead.

I'm pretty sure most of us on here knows the numerous reasons why they didn't.
