However I'm not fully on board with the "Don't criticize if you can't create", that seems a bit of a slippery slope to consoomerist dogma "consoom product, get excited for more and don't ask questions".
I suppose you shouldn't act like an authority in that case like these INs do, that much makes sense of course.

Joel Hodgson, the MST3k creator, is also a bit of a real life asshole too. He once sued a fan over a fanzine.

Isn't it one of those cases were you are required to pursue action against violation of intellectual property or else you can't do it latter?

Joel Hodgson pretty much failed at everything he tried to do outside MST3k. He made a TV pilot for Comedy Central called the TV Wheel and even tried to do his own version of RiffTrax called Cinematic Titanic that went nowhere either, which is why he went back to MST3k with the Netflix series.

It's fascinating just how much the lives of the people in MST3K fits with the CA INs.

All the more intriguing because pretty much all CA INs are obsessed with MST3K. Are they spiritual nakama, or did they take their hero worship into some kind of unconscious skinwalking?

("Skinwalking" is some creepy tumblrshit thing where you try to cosplay/LARP as someone else, which probably becomes extra creepy if its a troon copying a cis girl.)

Despite being a christcuck Mike is a pretty based righty who somehow manages to work with the insufferable pussy Kevin Murphy.

See, I was hoping he wasn't a jerk, but there was always little signs. When he left the show they had to change some of the backstory because he owned the rights to the term "Gizmonicks". stuff like this just confirms it.

Now I'm reading 32 year old Joel Hodgson articles. These pieces remind me of early Spoony if he had gone out as a standup instead of succoming to his insecurities.
