Not quite. JO's answer was asking Spoony if everything was alright, and he replied with an apology for the crude joke.teh_Canape said:
I'm not yet convinced this was masterminded by Lupa, but I kinda never forgave her from turning Phealous into a house cat. Yes, I know he doesn't mind and probably wants it, but his videos suffered under her influence, imo.
(Unrelated, but I love your avi. Makes me smile every time.)
She broke up with him. Did that caused a downward spiral in Spoony, maybe. It is never just one thing that causes depression. There is a number of things that cause it.thebobmaster said:
She might be to blame, but she is not responsible.
In the sense that she is getting harassed constantly by Spoony's fans and by Spoony himself, then yes, she's a victim. Just because he is Internet famous does not excuse his actions. stalking is still stalking and harassment is still harassment.
In a tweet he made, I mentioned that Pathfinder was either on hold or dead since "most of the people involved no longer wish to associate with me".Major Tom said:
Spoony has my support through most of this ordeal since he's the only person who has the excuse of not being in his right mind, but he seriously needs to stop tweeting his frenetic "I'm fine/I'm crazy/Fuck all of you/I love you all/I'm awesome/No one loves me" bullshit.
It's at times like this I wish he had more people working with him on TSE so that someone could at least be there with him to talk some sense into him directly.
If I had to guess? To whip her white knights into a fervour, so as to vanquish a co-worker that she found vexing to her.teh_Canape said:
What should never be lost in all this is the hypocrisy of it all. She digs up a long-passed joke that ARGUABLY makes light of rape (it's just as easy, if not easier, to interpret it as a simple BDSM reference) and gets stereotypically internet-feminist indignant about it, yet when Spoony does the same to her regarding her long-passed explicit animal cruelty joke? Now, "oh there's a difference", the context-free nature of Spoony's off-color joke does not reply to her context-free off-color joke, and so forth.
If there's anything that needs to be taken out of this, it's the truly staggering proportions that internet white-knighting and victim-card-playing have evolved into. The interpersonal hissing match between co-workers is almost a red herring.
I saw this video on the subject
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDmjz8I0lxM
The guy's voice is a bit grating, but i think he summed up what happened pretty well, the video he linked was also made by one of spoony's former idols, Armake21, as well

/vg/ has been monitoring the shitstorm for quite a while and there's been a few attempts at making some kind of summary of what's actually happened. This is pretty much as coherent as it gets atm:

>Spoony makes a bad joke about JesuOtaku, she's not amused but doesn't take it hard, Spoony realizes it was stupid and apologizes, JO accepts and nothing was lost.
>A month later, Lupa brings it up again, telling Spoony how she feels offended by it and he's scum, Spoony is perplexed but apologies to her as well anyways.
>Lupa isn't satisfied, she writes a huge blog post where she shits all over Spoony and spreads it around the web, plus she brings this up to Holly.
>Holly is the highest authority in TGWTG right now as Doug is on his honeymoon, and his brother is on a vacation, plus Holly is supposedly a rape victim so Spoony found himself suspended for 4 weeks, telling him he's forbid to insult fans and his cooworkers during this time.
>At this point Spoony takes it and barely contains his rage, he's yet to explode until he notices Lupa's blog spreading around the web.
>He proceed to switch on full irony as he wonders what do they want from him, should he cry blood, should he burn in hell forever, etc etc
>Lupa continues to poke at him while taking a neutral side on LordKat's live stream even complimenting Spoony's professionalism during cameos, Spoony starts to get drunk.
>A drunken Spoony lashes on everybody on twitter, at this point Lupa is starting to get some backlash as well so she fades out as Spoony destroy himself.
>Because of this he gets fired from TGWTG.
Some say is conspiracy, some say it's coincidence, it doesn't matter at this point, Spoony is officially off TGWTG and he's migrating his hompage to another server.From what I've seen, Anon seems to be pretty spot on.
There's been stray Twitter screencaps floating around but no-one seems bored enough to compile them yet.
Also, LordKat is supposedly in risk of being shut down because of his comments about wanting Noah to kill himself.
Joe has proven himself to be a pretty cool guy by shooting down assumptions of him never working with Noah again, saying that Noah is his friend and he thinks this "shit got ridiculous".

Could you specify in which video? All I'm getting is an overview of LordKaT made stuff.idarkphoenixi said:
OT: Well, I don't know what exactly was going down, but I enjoy Spoony's videos for what they are. He's got one of the websites I check regularly and always enjoy seeing new content. Even his bad stuff is better than most shows on the Internet, including TGWTG. I used to be a big fan in their early days, now I'm skipping most of the videos on the site. Some people's segment has become too stale for my taste.
And could it be that the parties parted ways after filming the next Anniversary Special? Should be coming to TGWTG, soon.
I used to be neutral toward LordKat (I enjoyed the D&D campaigns with Spoony and others, but I never watched his shows), but if he actually said that (and it looks like he did) then he can fuck off and I'm now actively rooting against him.TheDrunkNinja said:
I wish I could confirm this, but it's only something I heard (regardless, in multiple places) since I'm not really willing to spend my time sifting through his live videos to find it.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
If it is true, yeah I'm with you. He can go straight to hell.

Yes, telling Noah that he should take his own life was a terrible thing, but that's not what I'm apologizing for right now. I'm sure I'll be on my hand and knees begging for forgiveness sooner or later on that one. No, there's something bigger that needs to be addressed.
"See You In Hell, My Friends"...?Rednog said:
........ Eerie... Anyway.
Hmmm... I don't know what to make of this. Seems to me like a measure of serious quality control within his own community on LordKat's part. He doesn't really apologize for telling Noah to commit suicide, but he does admit it was a terrible thing. Hell, he even says maybe he's just a huge asshole.
Yeah, I got nothing on this. I might just still be mad over just how utterly personal that attack he made on Noah was, but I guess he is sorry over the situation as a whole.
Don't expect me to start watching his stuff any time soon.
Not that I have in the past.
EDIT: Just realized something:
Tell me which is ethically the bigger issue to address and which issue is more likely motivated by personal gain?
Acting like a huge asshole to his internet fandom, which no doubt resulted in a huge financial loss for LordKat as a result...
or
Telling a clinically depressed man to take his life with a gun owned by his cop brother (who had recently came back from a bad place after having shot someone in self defense)?
Yeah, I take it back, Jason can still go straight to hell.
As expected of the escapist.
A guy that stalks a woman for a year is a-ok.
The woman is blamed for causing him pain when she flirts with people not him 1 year after the break-up. After all, women need to be 100% chaste after they break up with a guy, even one year later.
And other women who don't like rape jokes and dislike stalking ...are also evil, and just want attention/white knighting. But a guy stalking someone is totally fine!
Typical, really. Again, the escapist shows how deep it's stuck in the slimy echo-chamber of dudebro "culture".
LordKat can screw off, though. That was a jackassy thing to say. Thing is: The guy hates Spoony, he'd have used anything to attack him, mostly because Spoony was an idiot at a E3 and ruined LordKat's interview chance. That, dear LordKat, doesn't make oky what you said.
Hope he loses his show, just like Spoony should lose his
