I just had a stupid idea.
what if all this is a staged show for the upcoming movie? I mean bipolar 2? Insano?
The trailer shows spoony getting electrocuted in a weird way, or getting virtually deleted lol. I mean is weird how all of this was handled, so they may have been stupid on purpose.

I mean it was done conveniently on Doug's honeymoon so he wouldn't respond to anything.

And Spoony hasn't used the banhammer for people talking about this on his site.
I'm just saying
This is like the Indoctrination theory from Mass Effect 3 (which I also want to believe).

Sure, it's bloody ingenious, and would probably be the biggest damn plot twist ever, but all of the fandom will feel like they've been manipulated by the people in question, and will most like boycott or even stop supporting the creators.

So, yeah, it'll be a great idea, if you want half the fanbase to call "foul!" and leave in droves. It's simply a really stupid idea in execution.

Jo had nothing to do with the lupa backlash crap, JO didn't like a joke that was made at her, spoony apologized and they both moved on, chances are JO and spoony are not close and she was uncomfortable with the joke because of that more then the subject matter, as girl i have plenty of guy friends who make stupid jokes about seeing me naked, that need to get back to the stove, that they can show me a 'good time'. they are stupid, they are boys they cant help it its bread into them to be dumb, However if some one im not good friends with makes a comment like that, i unleash a fury of hellfire and rage. because i don't know them well enough them to be talking like that to me.

im girl that hangs out in nerdums that have mostly social outcasts, you will get people who dont know when the line is crossed, im pretty sure Lupa, Jo, Nella, Elisa, Mars and the NC Chick, get comments that lines are crossed, they don't make big deals over it every time it happens they just ask for an apologize and move on.

ok gang this just in and well should really stop all the bickering once and for all


from Spoony's twitter 7/5/2012

"Okay everyone, I just want to make it clear that Lupa did not get me fired, nor was she in any way linked to my departure from TGWTG. My personal issues with Lupa went public and quickly got out-of-hand, for which we are both to blame. I was crude and disingenuous, and provoked her to anger, which quickly pushed things too far. We both want the bickering to end. As far as I'm concerned, our argument is over and done with. We're both moving on, and we just want the anger to stop."

so there you have it, it was a personal matter that got dragged into public, Not having anything to officially do with his leaving CA.In fairness I would have been upset too if someone took a personal issue and put it on a public (blog) stage.

I still don't approve of Lupa's methods nor her points of view, but it was a personal matter that we (the internet) never should have been drawn into. It took him a while but Noah is being an adult about it.

And now we have Lupa's apology:

Obscurus Lupa said:
I don't want to talk about this anymore, but the hard truth is, I need to. I don't want to talk about the details of the drama, I'm not going to. This is not about that. This is me, this is Noah, moving forward.

Things went too far. They were too far before I even knew it. And that's not what either of us wanted. Things have gotten too real, too hateful, and this needs to stop. Neither of us endorse or want that kind of support. It's one thing to write something harmful on the internet, it's another thing to have it leak into real life. And for perpetuating that negativity, for not being a better person, I am sorry. This world doesn't need more of that.

I wasn't being professional in how I handled things, and I should have been. And for that, I apologize. To Noah, and to the people who had to deal with the fallout. I may not have liked how Noah acted on twitter, but he is not a bad person, nor the bully I made him out to be. And both of us have put the matter behind us, and are moving on.

There's too much malice floating around here. I may slip up, and may go down the wrong road, but I never want to be that kind of person. So let's try to get rid of some of the hate in this world, and I have to start with myself. I hope we all can.

Thank you for listening.

ehh i never really had a problem with her, everything i was saying was pretty much what they said happened, like i said before i don't hate lupa, dont hate spoony. having finally got to see some of what lupa's blog said, what she said about rape pretty much hasnt changed from what she said in her reviews. she didn't like how out of place the joke was, and having gone back a few days before that i can see she probably wasn't in the best place when she wrote that blog, just like spoony wasn't probably in the greatest place when she started with him on twitter.

they are human, they make mistakes.

lupa pretty much admits she should have done what she did privately, and Noah admits he left for other reasons then Lupa and the stupid crap on twitter, and they both see they could have done things better.

as for the thing with her and lordKat i don't know what happened there, and i dont want to know since believe if there is one person who the legion of hate should be pointed at is him for the horrible sick things that asshat said.

forgive as far as im concerned there never really was anything to be angry at her, just like i didnt think anything Spoony did was worth a feminist mob forming

Wow, she didn't even make any excuses. You don't see apologies on the internet like this everyday.

I love people continue to defend Lupa after she admits that she did something wrong. I guess if you white knight, you better white knight all the way. ;D

Yeah it's crazy how this has gone from super toxic to sweet lambs.

In any case, there's no real need for forgiveness. If both parties have squashed the beef. Then everything that matters is settled.

P.S. Holly should still be fired.

The main problem I had with Lupa was her going on LordKat's stream to unload like she did. It made her look like a massive *****. If she was offended by the tweet, it is her right to say something, but not to crusade. Just say "Dude, not cool." She made herself a target with her attitude. Now that she has calmed down and seen the light, I forgive her.

Holly probably should be fired. She didn't reign in her employees by issuing a gag order. Lordkat's videos should also be removed from the site. Don't see either of those happening though.

Excuse me?
Explain. Please.
that was me joking about how, when i a boy asks me to send them naked pictures of myself, or that i need to get back to the stove and cook dinner, that its such a stupid act/thing to say. that i then treat that guy like a dumb animal instead, instead of a person who can understand that asking something like that or saying dumb sexist things are wrong.

so instead of screaming and ranting every time a joke crosses a sexist line. i take a very six year old look to this situation, boys are born dumb, girls rock.

that gives the the ability to step back and look at a situation and determine if i really need to be offended by something, or if its just boys being dumb, while us girls in our corner of the room being smelly


what where you offended i called boys dumb?

Ah.
Sorry, what with all the shit going down with this website in terms of gender it's hard to tell what's a joke or not. Like you said, it's a six year olds look at what's going on, but if it was a point you honestly thought I would have disregarded any opinion from you quite quickly.
I just wish all the sexism shit (both itself and the topic) would calm down so other stuff can be discussed more.

i just never ran into some getting offend (or more accurately looked like they were offended, since i cant tell tone from words) for calling anything dumb, and i surprised that could be a trigger, there are so many things i could have said that could be way worse. i used dumb because its a pretty harmless word.

well this is all hitting the fan around the same time Laura croff had implied rape happen to her, so people are itching to talk about sexism.

Lupa apologized, Spoony seems to have gotten over it, so yea. I guess it's done then. Maybe with time they'll ask him back, but either way I'm just glad that the morons can't perpetuate this shit anymore. "Lupa's a manipulative *****!" "Spoony is on the edge man! DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW HE HAS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES?!" As I said way earlier in this thread, it's not nearly the big deal some folks were saying it was, and the only person who came out of this looking like a complete and utter fool was LordKat. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Do I remember wrong or was Lupa in that infamous LordKat's livestream too? Did she rip on Spoony in that or was it just LordKat? I'm glad this is over but if Lupa did that in livestream she gets as little respect from me as LordKat does.
