A thread to discuss the former and few current members attached to the online media production company Channel Awesome, Inc

It was a powerhouse in the lase 2000's and early 2010's in terms of online video content and hosted various content creators who were mostly "critics" who often made satirical reviews, After a series of scandals, nearly all the affiliated creators severed ties with Channel Awesome and departed

here's what happened since then

>Lindsay Ellis(the Nostalgia chick) ended up becoming the most successful of the former channel awesome critics and is credited as basically as one founders of the breadtube movement

>Doug walker failed at making a game show which cost him 90k
>JewWario being a sexual predator and killing himself
>Linkara's porn habbits
>The black guy working for Doug is a huge furry and got caught jacking off at a panel in a convention once
>Lindsay made a movie about herself getting an abortion. Later she got a DUI and started banging her head on the glass in the cop car
>ThatChickWithTheGoggle ended up being a camgirl for about a month until one of Doug's fans recognized her
>Filmbrain is a serve alcholic
>The guy who was basically Luke Skywalker in To Boldly Flee is a tranny now. His dad was one of the guys from "Whose Line Is It Anyways?"
>Jesu Otaku left her boyfriend for a sugar daddy. she is also now a FTM and the Head of Anime News Network after the previous one (who was her ex-boyfriend) killed himself

Nah she never proclaimed JK Rowling to be over, if anything she said you can still be a fan of Harry Potter even if you don't like it's author, that's what "death of the author" means.

potentially He could have bigger than Doug walker now if he had kept with a steady schedule of videos but he deadset on being a TV Star, I think getting bounced from (IIRC) Jimmy Fallon may have been the final nail in the coffin in that regard. He slowly ground down and finished editing stuff he had in the pipeline and eventually gave up, probably at the point where he was pretty much out of recorded footage and would have needed to start recording or writing new material.

She was married to Zac and he was an editor, not the owner of the site. I’m not sure if she still works there either. I could be wrong though, she’s so goddamn creepy and only regurgitates her mid 2000s anime obsessions I don’t try to keep up that much

Oh, man, Channel Awesome. I fell out around the time Doug wanted to kill off the Nostalgia Critic, then tried to make his shitty, boring sketch show without prompt or proper explanation. Remember when the cast revealed that none of them, not a single goddamn one of them, was in on Doug killing the Critic until basically everything was finished? It blew my mind that this was even remotely ok to either of the Walker Brothers, but then again that kind of revealed to me how shoved up their own asses they actually were.

Anyone remember this guy? Bhargav Dronamraju "Bargo" was one of the founders and introduced Doug Walker to Micheal Michaud. He disappeared from the site in 2011 with little explanation as to why. Rumor had it he slept with Lindsay and wouldn't shut up about it so he was asked to leave? Even if that's bs it wouldn't be shocking if something similar happened and they got rid of him quietly (CA's ace card).

>His most note-worthy appearances have been as a clinical psychologist in the Lori Prince Live videos and as a dirty-minded on-looker of the muddy girl-fight in the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation review. As of June 16th, 2011, Bhargav decided he would be making his own videos and has stepped down from being the Chief Executive Producer.

>In a radio interview with TalkShoe in Febuary 2012, Doug Walker mentioned that Bhargav had officially left the company entirely to pursue his own ventures, and that though Doug and the others wished the best for Bhargav and are still friends with him, he is no longer a part of Channel Awesome and will not come back to play Ma-Ti, Raja, himself or any other character, and that if he continues with Monkey Death Ray, it will not be on the That Guy With The Glasses site.

>>1101764
That was amazing. Documenting for those who don't know about it:
>Doug made a Nostalgia Critic video about the cult classic movie "The Wall" which is basically just a long music video to the album with the same name from Pink Floyd
>It wasn't one of those where he sits in front of the camera and talks about it while showing clips, it was one of his annoying "re-enacting this whole movie with a bad plotline and even worse costumes" Demo Reel reject deals
>He 100% misses the point of the movie entirely offering bland and pointless "critique" that's not even entertaining or funny
>The "review" was a "homage", i.e. it's a 40-minute musical parodying every song used in the movie while making awful jokes that don't land
>He ends it up by getting Slipknot's lead singer involved and instead of him doing something interesting he makes him sing the spongebob theme in the end because lolsorandumb
>They sold the musical score as a digital release like you really wanted to listen to Doug sing for almost an hour
>He hired some 2edgy furry to make a really weird excessive 3-minute CGI scenario filled with that furry's bizarre OCs from his own lore project nobody has ever heard of, an attempt to parody the famous "Trial" scene from the original movie
>It's currently sitting at 21 000 likes vs 75 000 dislikes on Youtube

>>1102115
I really hate the way he shoehorns these temper tantrums at his "haters" and/or fans in the videos. If he did it once it probably would work but he does it all the time and it's unbelievably immature. When he actually constructed a whole review around shitting on his old fans who wanted him to stop doing the cringy ass skits and return to his roots (I think it was the Christmas with the Kranks one idk) I finally stopped following them. That's next level pettyness.

Yes. I've read it for those who don't know: It's an isekai about Luis's self-insert Louis who helps save the church of Linkara from the evil incel knight order or some shit. It includes the rape of a 16 year old catgirl by some evil dick woman, along with the catgirl being an underage stripper and having sex/being in a relationship with Luis's self-insert. Oh, and for some reason he uses JFK or George W. Bush (I forgot which) as examples during a really long coomer-tier speech about why sex is good…in the novel.

sage for old topic, but huh? Did we watch the same video, anon?

This is fairly recent drama between Lindsay Ellis and Moviebob, for those who don't Bob Chipman is a movie reviewer and commentator. He's not associated with Doug Walker or Channel Awesome, though he has some minor association with some people over there

Bob is a self described male feminist POC ally and a big fan of Lindsay Ellis. He's frequently called her his 'collegue' both in his videos and on Twitter, Some guy on twitter started mass-blocking anyone associated with "breadtube." but the drama was caused when someguy was mass-blocking anyone associated with "breadtube." and it resulted in the following conversation (heavily summarized)

>Lindsay: Breadtube isn't really a thing lol

>Random Twitter Person: Even if it was…why is it so weird for related YouTubers to DM each other?
>Lindsay: Yeah, peers being friends isn't a conspiracy
>Bob: IKR <uploads photo from six years ago of him and Lindsay>> Lindsay: Dude…that's super weird and creepy. We're not friends.

Lindsay proceeded to tweet that Bob had been soft-blocked by her multiple times and ignored it. She also expressed frustration in his constant attempts to associate their brands despite her finding him to be toxic. Bob then responded that he felt gas-lit and is still bitching

He wore a mask because he was a teacher or sth and didn't want to be recognized by his students. No idea about any embarassing stuff besides the fact that he used to defend Sarah Butts from accusations of pedophilia, just because he was anti-GG.

not surprising reading that both marzgurl and allison were shit-stirrers.
Allison stood out for me during her feud with spoony because he made some unsavoury jokes about Jesuotaku, which yeah they werent cool at all, but JO was fine with them and it felt like it was an ammunition Allison was saving to shoot at Spoony and it wasnt about defending JO's honour AT ALL. Allison made rape jokes all the time, but i guess those are bad only if Spoony made them? ok.

Marzgurl was always pretty unremarkable, but she was extremely funny during the ProJared scandal, you know, amisdt accusations of cheating on his wife, stealing his best friend's wife, sexting fans, PEDOPHILIA of all things, she did a twitter thread saying "yeah i can believe all of those things, we were friends and then he ghosted me, of course this means all of the bad things about him are true" lmaoooo.

Honestly this sounds a lot like what I've gathered myself observing all this shit go down over the years. Doug never gave me delusional diva director vibes but instead just a doofus who wants to create his autistic content for a living, Linkara always seemed like Dunning-Krueger personified and Allison/Obscurus Lupa already outed herself as a fame hungry opportunist with the spergy change the channel movement. Even during that whole spiel she tried to hide the JewWario pedo drama to keep people focused on what an "asshole" Doug was because his Disneycember videos got top priority during Christmas. I always felt that Doug and Brad (despite his drug issues) were the only people who weren't like literal children associated with Channel Awesome and this account seemed to back it up.

No. 1136873

>>1136868
disagree.
they kept the jewwario thing underwraps because that's what the victims asked of them, but his behaviour was brought up in the CTC document.
on a side note, JW's name got leaked because CA showed skype chats where they left one single solitary pixel and people managed to guess Justin's name lol, which is still wild to me. (the name guess i mean, the guy came off as incredibly slimey and it would have been more surprising if a 45 year old man talking about anime WASNT a secret sex pest)
