The Spoony One has been ejected from That Guy With the Glasses.

[Blackout2012]

Has anyone reported that Lupa has made her Facebook page private? Now you have to join her group to talk to her. She has retreated to her fandom rather than face what she has unleashed.

I'm not saying she is at fault here. Spoony dug his own grave attacking fans. Lupa did not remove herself from the situation, got heavily involved and agitated what was happening.

yea Lupa has retreated to a place where she is worshiped as a saint for having the courage to confront the evil man-troll Spoony and slay it with her mighty feminist axe of great justice.(which was really a long and incredibly boring blog)


I'm not kidding this is seriously what some of Lupa's fans think she did.I wish I could point to the forums posts before they got taken down at TGWTG.

Which is funny because this sort of retreat into a world of no criticism has been what they have been raking spoony over the coals for the past couple of years.

I have a feeling that the 5th anniversary Spoony will come back as the villain.

?Okay, let me make one thing perfectly clear, this is NOT jumping the shark. I?m gonna repeat that again, this is NOT jumping the shark. No, no, no. This is jumping the shark, coming back, shooting it in the balls, raping it, eating its flesh, consuming its soul, mounting its head on the wall? and then doing the same thing to 12 more fucking sharks!?

Apparently you can rape sharks but you can't "love someone your way"

where is Lupa's blog about how raping sharks offends her?

Okay, get this into your thick skull: That was a scripted joke.
Do you understand that word? Scripted?
SPoony's comment was bad taste, he openly "Joked" about either raping someone or kidnapping them. FFS, if he felt the desperate need to do so, use skype or something remotely private.
You and yours insistence to keep bringing up "Oh, but what about this joke then!" is stupid as hell as that's joke which are written beforehand, and clearly in character. If Spoony is in CHaracter off-stage, he's got worse issues than one can imagine.
Spoony is an arse, but his fans seems about ten times worse. Sniveling little cowards who somehow think attacking every female on CA makes them men.

Way to completely miss the point why rape jokes are so controversial. Well done...?

Look up what a "Trigger Warning" is sometime, will ya?

Just my two cents but, NC's joke was directed towards a fictional, hypothetical shark(Ok, 12 of them) and was clearly meant to be over the top("Eating it's flesh and consuming his soul"?)
while spoony's was directed at an actual person and was not clearly obvious it was a joke(Yea, I know I'm gonna get a huge quote chain from this)

And with that said, I am off before this thread devours my soul

Huge Quote Chain Granted!

I get what you are saying. But Spoony's "Joke" was an off the cuff ugly statement that he made. Jesu responded to it by asking if he was ok and he apologized and they put it to bed.

Lupa is the one who went on a rape joke crusade. When you do that you start something like that you open yourself up to people researching every reference of rape on CA and then posting about it. When you dig up old tweets that have nothing to do with you and go on a crusade you can expect backlash. Then when you appear on the stream of the guy who told Spoony to commit suicide you can expect more backlash. Just the way it goes.

I'm sure she has some tweet skeletons in her cyber closet. Remember than dude she was fighting with on twitter? That was a whole clusterfuck in itself. Hell, that time the guy attacked directly (honestly, can't remember the dude's name). That time most everyone backed her and this time she probably can't understand why the fans were divided.

If heard about it, but honestly I never paid attention to Twitter in any way until this happened. Some people have bought up past Lupa things to show she is a drama queen, but I just haven't seen anything of it.

I've just tried to keep it to things I can verify. All the tweets, tumblr posts, lordkats two streams.

For all I know she's been doing this for years. However, I do get the impression that this is the first time she's had backlash and is really confused at why people are messing with her. Cue white knighting about how "brave" she is.

And... mutual understanding lost. Some people are more wrong than others again.

I would like to open a new position! I hereby support the belief that absolutely everyone in this incident: the producers, the HR department, the fans, the spectators and speculators like us, are all insufferably wrong and idiots.

Now no one wins, therefore everyone is satisfied.

Now applaud!

Oh for fuck sake, this thread is still going!?

Wait what?!

 

[HappyMcSmiles]

Spoony was suspended by HR for violating the company's Twitter policy... after Lupa violated HR policy on Twitter.

Oh? What is their policy, then?

I detect you are trying to be snarky by assuming I don't have access to their specific HR policy, and in that you are correct. Where you are misguided is the fact that the foundation of all HR policy when it comes to harassment is based on a framework designed to minimize the company's exposure to lawsuits. There is practically no deviation, just minor alterations and clarifications. Sure, you can have a company that writes up "all females employees must come to work topless upon request" and have that be policy, but no real company that expects to be in business long would possibly include something like that.

I get a feeling you've never worked in an office before, which is no slight towards you, but stuff like HR policy is literally copy-paste anywhere you go. But if you don't believe me, let's see what the following quotes from the HR Director infer.

why do you assume that was allowed? because they did it? tweets aren't submitted to me for approval.

I did say on Twitter that I spoke with Allison. I know anything considered antagonistic stopped.

Hmmm.

What, she owes it to people to let them attack her on Facebook?

Retreating to safety is one of those indicators that she knows she can't win. She can not deal with Spoony's fans when the more sensible ones can point out how she made an ass of herself on LordKat's stream. She and he followers can say that she was not involved with the firing with CA's notice, but she lost her high ground with that stream.

You're contributing to it,so well done..

 

[Hawkolf]

I know this is kinda off topic but is LordKat's shtick to do as many swears as possible in one sentence? I can't even listen to his live videos long enough to find out...

[DudeistBelieve]

That will not happen which is why most of us are still mad.

Uh huh. Who is "most of us?" How many of you are there? What are your names? Because if you're going to insist that you have some kind of majority behind you, I want some evidence of that.

She is censoring/blocking/reprimanding anything she finds offensive, not necessarily what Channel Awesome finds offensive.

Crap. Channel Awesome cannot find anything offensive; Channel Awesome does not have the capacity. Channel Awesome is nothing but a name on a business license and a logo on a graphics card. It is not a person. Only people can be offended by anything.

It's him, me, and 3 other guys.

Four other guys!

Make it 5!

And then! The World!

How about just Canada?

Ok. Canada it is......

YOU HEAR THAT CANADA?! WE COMIN' FOR YOU!

Blackout! WE ATTACK AT DAWN.

yeah it being a scripted joke sort of makes it worse, it mean there was more thought time and effort put into it, look at that south park episode where they rape Indiana Jones three times, they used one of the worst things that can happen to a person to show how bad the movies was, and even though i found it funny. im sure rape victims don't, and the NC, and rob who wrote that episode taking time to say the never ending story 3 was bad as being raped. means two people put time and effort into that joke.

where as spoonys was more of a throw it out there stupid moment kind of joke, because how many times has that happened? to you or some one you know made a joke that didn't land and now people never stop giving you shit over it?

i once made a cannibal joke, in a TS i hang out in, and to this day im not as the girl that eats people.

yep the fact remains there are a ton of rape jokes/references in TGWTG from everyone on site and on twitter ect, There has got to be a reason Lupa singled THIS one out a friggin month later. The easiest conclusion is she has some sort of vendetta against Noah.

let's be honest Rape is stretching the joke a bit far, it was really more of a BDSM joke.

as for attacking every female I have only said anything about two, Lupa and Holly. That is hardly every female at CA. Being a female does not automatically make you above criticism.

I detect you are trying to be snarky by assuming I don't have access to their specific HR policy, and in that you are correct.

Yeah...that was probably beneath me. Sorry about that. Bitchiness is becoming a reflex. I should have said, "I feel that if you are going to assert that two people have both violated a company's policy while only one was punished, it is incumbent upon you to prove it by citing the policy in question."

I get a feeling you've never worked in an office before, which is no slight towards you, but stuff like HR policy is literally copy-paste anywhere you go.

I have, but I don't ever pay any attention to those things, so you might as well be right.

Retreating to safety is one of those indicators that she knows she can't win.

Win what? Is there a prize for winning? Does she get a trophy or something?
