John Bulla’s involuntary commitment

Tommy Trooner chimpouts
 
Terry Davis' untimely end, since it brought more attention to him and probably made him more sympathizers than when he was alive.
Terry was pretty beloved from the beginning. His less savory aspects were clearly symptoms of severe mental illness, not conscious choices.
 
Most satisfying moment, caught on tape livestream:

<cuck>Now, I haven't been in the best place mentally, and ...</cuck>

NOW WAIT A MINUTE
MATT
NO!

 
My secret santa gift
Making a secret santa gift
Null's youtube videos
AL admitting that she's gotten fatter

:winner: Guy freaking out in Gamestop over Fallout 76 + Troon freaking out in Gamestop over Ms Gendering :winner:

Edit: I read this wrong, if it's for video content I would say:

everything Yaniv-related (Twitter ban, complaints, ect)

Phil thinking we're going to invade his home + light it on fire
Phil's epic battle against KF operatives dream

Is Chantal's "KF has a death count" sob video from this year? That was great.

I loved the stuff that occurred with the zoosadists and how Chris Chan was manipulated by Troons with drugs and alcohol. I even had a hell of a time when Dobson yelled at a troon for using his lesbian characters.

Hoping for more weird shit in 2019.
 
The greatest Internet controversies are the ones with the greatest audience, and therefore the most mainstream.

So here are the top ten greatest Internet controversies of 2018:

1. The BetterHelp Scam Scandal.

2. Patreon banning Sargon of Akkad in violation of its own terms of service, and imploding in the process.

For all the Sargon haters, this means that Sargon of Akkad killed something not by infiltrating and misusing and abusing it (as commonly attributed to him), but by getting kicked off of it and being unable to use it for his own purposes.

Patreon collapsed under the sheer weight of the irony of that one, as a mass exodus of the platform was initiated. Nobody wants to support a platform that will ban you from it for off-site happenings, especially not a payment processor.

3. #ChangeTheChannel. Channel Awesome (formerly That Guy With The Glasses) is no stranger to controversy, but this one nearly tanked the site. With stories of sordid states of affairs coming from both former fans and creators, nearly everyone who worked at Channel Awesome left the site. A small aside for the JewWario controversy, which shot down a creator's reputation posthumously, and shot down those of others who now only wish it happened posthumously.

4. #FreeMumkey. When Mumkey Jones, and edgy YouTuber, got banned solely for being a creator of Eliot Rodger related content (he severely criticized and satirized Eliot), it showed to at least hundreds of thousands that YouTube simply doesn't care about content creators anymore. Things have gotten a little better now that Mumkey has his own site, but his channel is still removed, and this all seems to be a prelude to much worse in the future.

5. YouTube Rewind 2018. To quote Emperor Lemon:

2017 was the year that YouTube fell completely out of touch with their users.

2018 was the year everyone realized it.

6. Zoosadism. 'Nuff said.

7. #WSJKillsKids. When Ethan Ralph did a stream on the family history of reporter for the Wall Street Journal, many things happened. Ethan Ralph got deleted from YouTube, his Google account shut down, and the money for a charity stream he did refunded. This caused a great backlash for the Wall Street Journal.

8. Mundane Matt undoing his own career on live stream.

9. The Continuing Downward Spiral of David Sherrat, Kraut and Tea, and the "Skeptics".

10. The Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv Saga. Johnny is a walking, talking stereotype of transgender people, down to even the gross sexual perversion (pedophilia), yet he has accrued enough pull to basically shut down criticism of himself at a whim. But the Streisand Effect comes through, as always, and now he's in big trouble.

Michael Avenatti starting out as the Great White Hope of TDS sufferers, only to trash his reputation like a Jackass extra faceplanting on concrete while punching himself in the balls.

Maddox. Oh, Maddox. Mr. Choad's Wild Ride. He didn't start out in a great place, but he went downhill with a focus and intensity more often seen in successes. And LanDUI with him, who is now known on the Internet as a fuckup and a shyster.

Nick Rekieta emerging as a no-bullshit mean motherfucking servant of Lulz. Think you know the law because you write fucking comic books? You have never been more out of line, and you are about to find this out.

Bryan Dunn. I Have No Dick And I Must Fuck. Metokur threw him out of a window without opening it first. Reputationally, that is.

May Terry Davis sit at the right hand of God. May he know peace now.

Brianna Wu. Everything. Failed campaign, inadvertent outing. Warren dishing dirt.
