#TGWTG

Fatphobia is when Doug Walker (skinny) gets people to reference his review persona in cartoons in spite of being guilty of numerous borderline felonies along with his brother & manager, but Lewis Lovhaug (fat) gets harassed for views he hasn't held since the last decade, bullied for corny bad comics he made in 00s while being barely out of high school & put in cringe comps for not reacting placidly to the shit other people pull on him for no reason

April 2008. Doug Walker launches That Guy with the Glasses to host his video series, The Nostalgia Critic.

Doug and the website staff have ambitions of making it a site for multiple producers to host videos of a similar strain. Two of these will be Lindsay “The Nostalgia Chick” Ellis and Paul “PawDugan” Schuler. Lindsay’s roommate, Elisa Hansen, appears in her Nostalgia Chick videos before eventually starting her own series on the website under the name “Maven of the Eventide”.

Elisa and Paul meet and film several videos together. They start dating, and in November of 2012 announce that they’re engaged. They get married in October of 2013, and their son, Grey Ingram Hansen-Schuler, is born on August 13, 2014.

Which means that there’s at least one person on this planet who exists because of the Nostalgia Critic

there was a particular kind of ego that flourished on late-00s video reviews.

take lindsay ellis, also of channel awesome, who got targeted by an obviously bad-faith racism scandal last year. instead of responding the only way you can to fake scandals - ignore it and post through it - she posted a 1h 20min whine video on youtube, then a little while later posted a freakout on patreon and quit her entire online content output and retired.

these people were always maniacs and putting them in 2022 internet is like putting freshwater fish in the dead sea

imagine telling someone in 2009 that the biggest movie reviewer online would see his production company crash and burn after allegations of abuse and fraud and then he would develop a persecution complex and he would make a 40 minute parody of Pink Floyd's The Wall where he dressed as a nazi and mocked both the movie and the album while at the same time screaming about his haters while a Slipknot band member plays the Spongebob Squarepants theme

CURSED COMPARISONS: Patrick H. Willems is like Doug Walker with less baggage.

Arguably, being in the TGWTG fandom for 4 years & watching it collapse during and after Change the Channel was what eventually led me to study anthropology

In trying to find my geologist hammer, I found one of my most cursed possessions from my past. Definitely going to burn it along with a lot of my deadname stuff

Chris and Harry return to the land of Kickassia to meet Lindsay Ellis. However, Chris is one daft bugger.

When I browse the internet I get surprised to see that some Channel Awesome reviewers are still around. I just assumed they all quit after the change the channel movement petered out.

5000 posts!

You know what Tumblr, letting me know about this one is alright with me for once! I do wonder though at what count it would be if I hadn't switched blogs in 2014.
