well the war is over, the white flag has been raised, (though it was really his underwear) both sides have fought valiantly, and now retired to lick wounds and bury the dead.
the 4th year trailer has just been released and one of the Commanding Generals (though he never told us once to go defend him) mood has lifted,
we all should admit we all kind of acted a little immature, I mean it's not like anyone got murdered or anything.
so as the great Freddie Mercury once sang "the show must go on"
what do you say guys,? good place to end this thread?
I leave you with a hymn, regardless of your religious affiliation I think we can all sympathize with it.

I honestly don't know a lot about the twitter messages that were sent back and forth, but I think I get the gist of it. Noah made an off-color remark, Lupa raised hell about it and provoked him, he responded in kind, and was kicked off the site.
Let me ask you this. Do you think that Noah Antwiler is a bad person? Because, let's be frank, this isn't about one comment that was made, it's about the content of his character. Personally, I think he's a really good guy. Sure, he's not perfect, but he presents himself honestly, flaws and all, and that takes a lot of guts. So I don't think he's a bad person.
Second, do you think his videos have merit? That's the other factor, since Channel Awesome wants revenue, and superior content nets them that revenue. I think he's a great reviewer, I like the fact that he can present media both like the Nostalgia Critic (i.e. make fun of the bizarre and crappy parts) and Angry Joe (i.e. endlessly exited about the good aspects without coming off as a fan-boy). I think his videos definitely have merit, from watching his (unfortunately now cancelled) pathfinder game, to getting DMing tips for my own games, to seeing him summarize and describe the Tekken movies.
Finally, I ask you this. Would you honestly have ever heard of Yor: Hunter from the Future if it weren't for the Spoony Experiment? I wouldn't have.
I'm going to keep watching the Spoony Experiment, whether it's on Channel Awesome or not.

This is awful. He's like essential to the annuals, though I already visit his site. I hope he still does Insano cameos. I wonder if he's STILL going through his long term depression.
Goggles, Lordkat, Bharghav, & Distressed Watcher left too.

I understand what you're saying in the rest of the comment, but I just thought I better basically address this bit...Chronologist said:
In a way, this is sort of a self-perpetuating misunderstanding of the events.
You got the gist of it from here (or similar places), but many of the people here (even, or perhaps especially those that had really vocal opinions) also got the gist of it in similar ways. The whole thing turned into a huge game of chinese whispers, where only the really easy bits to latch onto were perpetuated as people played down, played up, omitted or outright invented events to help reinforce their stance on the whole thing, and the whole thing became overly simplified in the wrong direction.
Your understanding isn't quite what happened, but it's been a heavily outspoken interpretation on the events, and is at least closer to the mark (though still unsavoury) than the conspiracy theories I've seen.
I'm glad the rest of your comment was positive/supportive, in a way unrelated to the interpretation of events, rather than vindictive based on gathered second-hand information.
hmm... you kinda raise an interesting point. Spoony was more the one to touch on the negative things. His rants and rages seemed to fill a nitch in review style and tone. NC was more about the wild and nonsensical, Linkara more soft spoken and intellectual sounding, Joe more excited about the positives and spoony covered the rage and negatives. Wonder if that will be noticed in absence?Chronologist said:
Wow. I tried reading this entire post from start to finish. I had to stop about page 17. Frankly the whole situation makes me sad. I feel like I looked into a window and saw something that I had no business seeing. I really think there is more known about Noah Antwiller's personal life by more people than every should be. I'm really sad to learn there is some pretty severe in fighting at tgwtg.com between some of its video producers. After this, I feel like some of the fun has been sucked out of watching the videos on the site. I'm going to try to watch and enjoy the future projects created by all these people, but I think that until everyone involved doesn't find some way to resolve the bitterness that's been conceived by all this, it's going to hang over everyone like a dark storm cloud, and I'm not going to be able to enjoy their content in the same way.
...I just binged this entire thread. It took me four hours and a shit-ton of snacks. Before I went in, I knew I would be continuing to watch my favorite viewers no matter what; my behavior will not change. The only feeling I'm left with is a profound sense of sadness and an unsettling feeling that my belt is trying to cut me in two. It feels like my parents are fighting or something while I'm stuck in bed with an upset stomach.
I feel for everyone involved and I hope now with a secure diagnosis Spoony can start recovering. It's not like they needs it, but I forgive him and Lupa. They are human too, and I've never been one to hold a grudge and hold the firm opinion that a good, sincere apology would fix nearly everything. Maybe naive, maybe overly optimistic, but there's enough cynicism in this thread to choke Yahtzee.
Captcha: "Knock on wood." You said it, Captcha.

This was brought up already: rape is not always men raping women. Men are being raped too. So you are actually the one bringing genders into it. Not to say, the one person the joke was about was and is a-ok with it. Completely different person took offence in it, after a month, no less.zefiris said:As expected of the escapist.
A guy that stalks a woman for a year is a-ok.
The woman is blamed for causing him pain when she flirts with people not him 1 year after the break-up. After all, women need to be 100% chaste after they break up with a guy, even one year later.
And other women who don't like rape jokes and dislike stalking ...are also evil, and just want attention/white knighting. But a guy stalking someone is totally fine!
Typical, really. Again, the escapist shows how deep it's stuck in the slimy echo-chamber of dudebro "culture".
LordKat can screw off, though. That was a jackassy thing to say. Thing is: The guy hates Spoony, he'd have used anything to attack him, mostly because Spoony was an idiot at a E3 and ruined LordKat's interview chance. That, dear LordKat, doesn't make oky what you said.
Hope he loses his show, just like Spoony should lose his
I am a huge fan of Spoony, and i admit he does act like an ass, and he does have a lot of faults. ALl i am saying is, other people, including Lupa (whom i always kinda disliked), could be more mature and reserved.
Also, i am sad to see Linkara being the good guy here. He seems like a major doofus to me.
Dude needs to see a shrink, get his life in order, get a job and finally move out of his younger brother's basement. He's 30 years old and he's done absolutely nothing with his life. His girlfriend leaves him and he goes off the deep end for 1,5 years, insulting everyone who tries to help him and makes a pathetic vlog in which he recounts his ex while talking about a movie and drinking himself stupid. Then he spouts off crap about raping a girl, completely blows his shit on twitter and acts like a baby when it comes to bite him in the ass.
Meanwhile his echo chamber harasses the person who calls Spoony out on his creepy bullshit.
I like Noah's stuff, but at this point he's becoming a creepy asshole. Or he's always been a creepy asshole and its now starting to shine through. He needs to get a grip, just like everyone has been telling him to do!

Spoony has created hours of entertaining material that thousands of people have seen. That's a hell of a lot more then I've done and probably a lot more then you have.
