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

Ahahahahaha TGWTG drama. Geek Social Fallacies in a nutshell.

Yeah its not like Escapist has ever had one of those! oh..wait..

 

[JimB]

So both sites are still in ban mode?

Yep. If you even mention it at TSE or TGWTG you are banned.

Crap. I have mentioned it probably half a dozen times just since the Spoony subforum at thatguywiththeglasses.com was deleted (and I can't even guess how many times I mentioned it in the period between the announcement and that deletion), and no one has banned me.

well I guess I'm talented, I made one post just pointing something out without using foul language and was banned the next day.

This is a huge thread, and I'm not sure if it's been stated, but Spoony's initial comment of inviting JO to be chained up in his basement does not really imply an intent to rape. Hell, if he's INVITING HER to join him, leaving the choice up to her, that's pretty much the opposite. It's a BDSM joke, yes, but not rape.

I made one post just pointing something out without using foul language and was banned the next day.

Here is a list of offenses that will get you banned from the forums at thatguywiththeglasses.com. There is a link to these rules at the top of every subforum.

I can just see it now. Doug returning to the office, seeing the big furor that followed from this, and just facepalming. "I go away on a fucking honeymoon, and this is how the site is run?"

I would giggle like a schoolgirl if that is what happens.

Yeah this clip is the perfect description of doug's arrival back to TGTWG HQ:

 

[JimB]

None of the above. Sorry.

Please check my wording again. I said your post was considered to fall under one of those prohibitions. Unless the administrators contacted you about your ban, you have no idea what the reason behind it was...though, frankly, given the tone of your posts on the topic around here, I assume they were taken as flamebait.

So spoony just said on twitter that his doctor says he has Bipolar II disorder. Thought this was relevant. Hopefully he'll have an easier time managing with this knowledge.

well now its documented he in fact does have a medical condition, and that medial condition also carries with it some hypersexuallity, the dots are connecting, now he needs to get treatment and learn to cope. so he was not just being a douche for being a douche sake.

One phrase from the Wikipedia article on Bipolar II scares me. "Those with bipolar II are at highest risk of suicide among the bipolar spectrum." Seeing what Noah has gone through in this last year and a half, combined with that...what would have happened to Noah if Miles and Oreo weren't there for him?

And I can never watch the v-log of "Breaking Dawn Part I" again. It was hard to watch before, but now, that breakdown is just ungodly depressing.

Catcha: goosebumps. Damn straight.

Edit: Even worse, looking at the bottom of the Wikipedia page, apparently, Kurt Cobain was diagnosed as Bipolar II before he died.

well he does have his fans and even though he may not admit it they have helped him too even if it was just a target to vent. Reading the description of Bipolar II I'd have to say yea, thats spot on the Noah we have been seeing for the past 2 years.

True. But how long would those fans last before he alienated too many of them in a manic state, or until he sank too low in a depressive state?

 

[JimB]

Yeesh. I was very briefly diagnosed with Type II Bipolar during my eventful journeys through America's psychiatric care wonderland, so I did some checking into it, and yeah, that is some horrible stuff. I hope that this latest diagnosis of his is true, though, if only so his doctors can start treating the correct illness instead of an apparently erroneous diagnosis of depression.

don't know, thats why im glad he sought out a diagnosis so quickly after what transpired, though the timing may just be a coincidence as this is something that takes time to diagnose.

At least he has a sense of humor about the diagnosis.

The doctor says I have bipolar 2 disorder. Yes, I have the sequel to bipolar disorder, Bipolar 2. #The Quickening.

yea like i said earlier he seems in better spirits. he has been making alot of jokes on twitter recently even some at his own expense.

 

[JoeThree]

For anyone wondering this is the tweet that started the entire thing:

Spoiler

Gonna be honest this seems less like a rape joke and more of a S&M/bondage joke, since there is nothing in the tweet to suggest that none of this is non-consensual. That said, most people will probably still view it as sexual harassment. As for me, I remain skeptical that this is the reason for Spoony and CA parting ways. Unless of course we get some sort of confirmation from someone involved. In addition, I don't think it really matters so as long as Spoony continues to make videos and neither side shows malice towards one another.

Nope, rape joke. Go to Noah's twitter and you can se him making more in the last few days so he acknowledges it as a rape. He has not ranted about bondage or the like (it would be easy for him to rant about "bondage now being considered rape" or the like but not a word).
And also this:

Sometimes people make a joke, it gets taken the wrong way, and they continue to make jokes about the way it was taken. It happens a lot, ESPECIALLY online.
