The Other people on Channel Awesome

[Osterzone]

Holly Brownbag got to her pretty quick and coached her to remain silent, which really is "defending the victims" bullshit that they used later to defend never talk about it again. The incident just happened, Mantis isn't very smart-- she doesn't realize she's being manipulated to sweep this under the rug, so that's how we got Saint Justin.

Lupa. Marz claimed to have not known about JW until the revelation.

Here's my beef with Mantis. If she didn't want to press charges, go to the police, or do anything about the incident, why was she going to join in on the CA bash wagon? Did she expect them to do something about him other than fire him?

They legally couldn't do anything else. This might sound like victim blaming, but if she wanted the worst done to him, she should have gone to the police, harassment from the Cat Girl Army be damned. If CA told the world what he'd done, they would have possibly set themselves up for a lawsuit.

And I'll keep bringing up those points until people stop getting their legal knowledge from TV, Tumblr, and their idiot friends.

It was her fault for being so damn sexy. She should have thrown some shit on her face before going to that con.

Fucking thank you! I am so sick of the #meagain shit when girls are dumb enough not to report rape. I’ve heard so many pathetic excuses that attempt to justify why that’s acceptable, and fuck no it is not. Not every guy is some super powerful person, and if they get locked up it’s gonna do a lot more to them than it will the victim. I think it’s the whole victim complex shit. Do something stupid (face it that’s often the case), get raped, milk that tragedy by crying to anyone willing to listen for years.

Oh so that’s why he raped her. She stole his hat.

I didn't know about that. I thought Mantis went to her and Holly agreed to her wishes to remain silent. Mantis did say elsewhere (Reddit, I think) that she was afraid of retaliation from Justin's fans if she said anything.

But considering everything I now know about Holly, I believe that she would manipulate a victim into staying quiet. It must have been too much paperwork for her to handle, or she may have liked Justin too much to put him through all that trouble. It does seem that anyone who wasn't an employee of CA liked him enough to keep his secret for years and then try to vilify him without giving away his identity in the Google Doc. That is some fucky mental gymnastics and crowd manipulation, girls. Too bad you weren't smart enough to pull it off.

It's said that evil people are drawn to good people because they want to take advantage of that kind nature for their own purposes. If that' s the case, Doge must be on some sainthood candidacy list.

You know...why didn't michaud tell the other producers what justin did?

Lupa. Marz claimed to have not known about JW until the revelation.

Lupa deleted the email with that Dog Ate My Email excuse but I am convinced she did it under orders from Holly. Holly was the only one of the three who had anything to gain hiding it since we KNOW she knew about what happened and would look evil for hiding it. She knows she can't use the lawsuit excuse since she was extremely pro #meetoo which was all about accusing men of sexual assault without proof.

Marz didn't know shit about it and you can tell by her reaction. She was probably a bit freaked out since months later she shared a hotel room with him and she said it was weird that he slept naked.

They spliced in this dark secret in the doc because it was like the only CA-related thing they had that wasn't petty bullshit.

Though not sure why they thought this was a good idea. Even if Mike didn't spill the beans there would've been nagging about who that guy actually was.

JewWario destroyed a Nintendo image. Years from now people will be harassed for having a Wario hat in the background. Sure, they aren’t hard to get, but you’d have to have Mario’s, Luigi’s, and Waluigi’s hats there as well.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Why would you want to be a Wario-themed reviewer if you can be Waluigi instead?
