Someone pointed out how Tamara and Malcolm did some Sinclair-esque statement on Twitter where they both said the exact same thing about needing to see the CA side of things.
Channel Awesome, AVGN, and other web review shows

Well if the previous grievances didn't sink the ship, this pretty much torpedoed it. Honestly it sounds like they don't even care anymore. No respect for their 10 years together, no respect to the people who were inspired by them. No sense of professionalism at all. Again I am just…stunned.
-
We need Killmonger to burn it all down.

I keep visiting this thread, crossing my fingers to see that Brad Jones has left the site. Come on dude, you seem to be good friends with Alisson, you've made numerous snarky references to sloppy CA management in your vlogs, just…get out. I get he might be friends with Doug as well, just please, pick the right side.
-
The worst yet.
They knew about Jew Wario grooming and sexual assault allegations.
With a heavy sign, I realize a bad situation has gotten worse. This hurts, though I'm clearly the least of all victims in this. I was sad when Jew Wario died. Still am really. I wish he didn't do what he did, and now I also wish he didn't do what he did.
-
Allison and Lewis both made it clear that they
. Their ire is directed squarely at ChannelAwesome management which is where mine is too.
Gonna keep following Brad as long as he doesn't jump onto the "CA Did Nothing wrong. The accusers are assholes" train.
Doug, not so much. Thinking right now about ways to still watch NC videos without giving them views… kinda think it'd be the ultimate middle finger to them. Gonna unsub and stop watching otherwise tho.
Does KeepVid cause the view count to go up?
-
The worst yet.

Wait, Jewwario did THAT? Wow, it's like CA had their own personal Bill Cosby.
Oh, but I was so sad when he killed himself and, in a way, it still is sad, but…oh god this whole thing is a nightmare.
Also, apparently Toons These Days plans to leave after posting one or two more videos.
-
The worst part of this is tainting Jewario. Like, the man committed suicide and you're outing him years after his death? WHY?
Have Doug and Rob still gone media silent on the situation on their end?
Doug posted the "official" statement on Facebook. So he's standing by that.
Also, apparently Toons These Days plans to leave after posting one or two more videos.
Hey, in the current environment any vids they post will stay at the top of the front page for a week. So, that makes some sense.
Battlgeekplus is legitimately stuck right now since they were right in the middle of an actual multi video crossover with Doug so they really can't leave.
-
I'd guess their logic is "look at the shitty people we have asociated with, who else might be as shitty as him, or us?"
And it brought some clousure to one of his victims, completelly accidental from the Channel Awful people, but it is something.
-
Good lord it just keeps going from bad to worse doesn't it?
I don't know how CA is gonna survive this, they might have been able to bounce back, but this? Damn.
-
Apparently,
on FB and shortly after disabled his FB account.
I can't find anyone who screenshotted the Gif post to verify, but his FB IS down as of the time of this post.
Holly also revealed on her Twitter a screenshot of Rob telling her personally that he tried to fight for her but was overruled and was sorry about it.
Do I sense dissent among the generals?

Here you go

Also, CA is officially is officially down to four producers.

He's gone too now

^Well that only adds to the incredibly long list of Doug's oblivious stupidity
Honestly, this dumpster fire is the most entertaining thing that has came out from Channel Awesome in a long while.
-
!
!
Found this on Twitter. XD
-
Apparently there's only Brad and Guru Larry now (edit: Gaming Wildlife have confirmed they're leaving, and Blockbuster is leaving according to Linkara)
And Guru Larry is only staying for the fun of being the last one (which is… Meh). So basically only Brad remains.... And Brad just removed CA tags from his Twitter.
-
Woooow, there really are just 4 contributor links left.
-

In fact, 2. And one is only staying for the fun of being the last one.
As for Brad, who knows (well, I know I really -really- like him and he sure is in one horrible situation at the moment). -

As for Brad, who knows (well, I know I really -really- like him and he sure is in one horrible situation at the moment).Guru Larry just posted a tweet heavily implying that Brad has decided to quit (though it's not 100% confirmed)
-
This whole thing would be funny if it didn't have such awful stuff behind it… and I used to be a regular visitor for Jesuotaku, Yruleroftime, Nostalgia Critic itself, Pawdougan, Toddintheshadows.
I didn't like Nostalgia Chick's stuff as much because it always felt kinda forced to me (we know why now), but her recent videos are much better. I'd occassionally visit others, too. The only one I haven't been able to find again is Paw. Did he just stop?
-

Yeah rumors are here and I hope this Larry guy isn't posting stuff without being somehow sure, that would be kind of terrible.
Anyway, Irwing from the Cinemasnob team said that he doesn't know what Brad will do but kinda confirmed he was in a very tuff situation with all that (he also said that the CA response was horrible so… There's that). -
Jesus, ten years down the drain. And on their tenth anniversary. Anyone else find that a bit disturbing?
-

Larry makes his living with facts and is pretty thorough. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, and good on Brad if it's true.

I really don't know him so I'm glad to read that, thanks Shift.
And yes, indeed. -
Plus, Brad removing the CA branding from his Social Media accounts is a pretty good indicator he's probably right.
The idea that Larry wants to be the last to leave is hilarious. The person nobody ever paid any attention to (Specifically on CA) and never got invited to anniversary things will end up being last out the door.
That's great.
-
The Guru Larry thing is perfect.
The only one I haven't been able to find again is Paw. Did he just stop?
Yeah, Paw stopped cold a couple years ago. Presumably to get a real job to support his family.
-
Ah, ok, figured something like that. Hopefully he's doing well.
-
Paw married Elisa/Maven of the Eventide/that friend of Lindsay's who played the pink fairy and Dr Tease. They have a son together now, named Grey. Apparently, because the kid has been around his parents so much, he's kind of obsessed with monsters and 'spooky' things. Even to a point that he's spooking his own mother out, who herself is a vampire/horror fanatic.
She's still making videos and has a Patreon, but I haven't seen or heard much from Paw. Like Robby said, probably supporting his family.
-
Something different from one of the contributors.
-
holy shit bennett. well done.
-
The forums have no moderation whatsoever, and people are posting some really horrible stuff.
-
Has Ben left yet?

Yeah guys, don't go to the site.

The worst part of this is tainting Jewario. Like, the man committed suicide and you're outing him years after his death? WHY?
People taint themselves by the actions they do and the impact they have on others. Suicide does not in any way absolve him of the effects he had on everyone else's lives–for good or bad.
You say why? Because he did a horrible thing to this person. That's why.
Jesus, ten years down the drain. And on their tenth anniversary. Anyone else find that a bit disturbing?
It's disturbing because it didn't have to be this way. After 10 years of skeletons, the closet finally exploded. But the fallout that has resulted in them having 4 producers and well on their way to dying a miserable death–Is entirely on them. They should've hired a PR person long ago. They truly played themselves.
-

And the people that were affected, that brought it up, were willing to let him stay anonymous. Even the victims wanted him to have some respect and didn't want to needlessly taint a dead man when the issue was how those in charge dealt with him.
But Mike decided to just out him by being obvious.
-
Truth will out as they say
-
They didn't stay quiet out of respect, they said it was more about self preservation of rabid fanboys.

Someone claiming to be one of the victims disagrees with you.
I'm the woman that is being talked about in that chat log. I am not Jane Doe from the google doc….that's another person that he did this to, I know her and she didn't come forward for the same reason I didn't. We were, and still are, absolutely terrified of backlash. I understand that without more information, you can't prove that I'm just a nobody making shit up, but I'm not. I was told about this as early as last night, and after 5 years of being forced into silence, I cannot tell you how I'm feeling. People know now, they actually believe us now. The people I told about this, the very few, they knew I would not and could not lie about something like this. Because jane Doe did try to speak about it before, she told a fan site, she was then called a troll and "that's like accusing a puppy of murder". Because of that, and this is way before what he did to me, I knew I could never ever say anything without getting fucking crucified by these fucking psycho fans. He did a really good job of being the person to look up to and to trust, which is why no one would ever believe this. He took advantage of me when I was at the lowest point of my life, he knew exactly what he was doing. It was calculated. Then, he shot himself, and I (and the others) knew we could never ever talk about this, because he's not here anymore, and his widow could even sue us if she wanted. He has an elderly mother, and the thought of her knowing what happened made my heart break, so I kept silent. I talked to therapy for years, I still every now and again have nightmares of him and his face, and that horrific feeling of what he did to me, what he did to my body. I had to blacklist anything related to him on my twitter. Seeing his photo makes me sick. I hate that he killed himself, even with all of this, I never ever would be okay with that, it's a terrible thing that happened, and I wish he never did that, but I cannot be okay with the sexual assault that happened to me when I repeatedly said NO, and he waited until I passed out. So, anyone who refuses to believe this, that's your thing, but this happened, and I am not the only person, which is now obvious because of the Jane Doe thing. I just want you all to know that we were forced into silence for 5 years, because of this fucking crazy fans of CA who refuse to believe anything bad about them, including some of their own producers. I reached out to one of the women who released this google doc to anonymously say something about this, and I was ignored. She knew about it and did nothing. So, I'm glad that CA did this, even if it wasn't intentional. I have closure, in a way, kinda. After all this time. Thank you for reading.

Well, nevermind then.
Crazy fanboys it is.
Still shitty that it WAS anonymous and then they broke it the way they did.
But the entire thing is shitty and badly handled so…
-
This post is deleted!

Definitely. Their first public statement on the matter was a cheap shot at someone they'd wronged. :(
-
So even though Battle Geek Plus left the site, they still uploaded what I assume are the last two videos of his crossover with Doug. Just to complete the set, I guess.

This who situation is just beyond fucked, worst thing about this they have too many young or diehard fans who could honestly give less of a fuck. We saw it with the Fine Bros and then Logan (i'm only a 22yr old kid) Paul.
Only 40K sub's lost? Not a good sign.
The Jewwario leak was just the icing on the cake. Fuck me man.
-
The live document reading has a sequel.
-
Well, Gaming Wildlife and Blockbuster Buster have officially left the site, leaving only Brad and Larry.
Also, they've taken down the CA forums and store.
-
-
Do we have any confirmation Brad left? People are acting like he did but all we have still is Larry's speculation I thought?
