…But, why did you watch the whole thing?

Sure.

You could have just said no.

Do you outspokenly apply this criticism to other creators in the comments sections, as that is a very standard criticism in this genre of creators, even amongst the most celebrated of them, or just Pizzacake?

If he was still using the pseudonym and making excuses to keep using it, sure, but I’m of the opinion that once someone understands what they have done wrong and took the opportunity to learn from it and do better there is no more wrong doing. There are, of course, exceptions to this, but a pseudonym that someone came up with in their 20’s and had the wherewithal later to say, “That’s not ok, I need to stop doing that” and stopped doing that for the right reasons is pretty far from a reason to call them problematic, especially when it wasn’t a decision made under any form of duress and he has made no attempt at defending his choice to have used that pseudonym and stated it was not ok for him to have used that pseudonym.

He stopped using it for that very reason, and took accountability. People are allowed to self correct, if he understands the problem with what he did and course corrected without being called out for it what would throwing more stones accomplish?

Edit: Also, not a big enough deal to say you shouldn’t read his books.

What are your specific criticisms?

I have this same skill, but with voice actors.

Potato potato.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

No need to apologize! Thanks for letting me know about them, they’ve got more than enough on their YouTube channel to keep me entertained and it’d be obtuse of me to ask for more, I’m more than happy to support them.

That whole series is as good as it gets for me, hands down. John, Dave, and Amy are the mother fuckin’ GOATS.

Edit: The Zoey Ashe and The Suits series is every bit as good if you’re into sci-fi, and Black Box of Doom is a fantastic stand alone story set in the modern world. Neither are connected to the reality or events of [UNDISCLOSED]. He’s also currently working on the next book in the JDATE series which will release next year.

I can work around everything other than the brushes, thats a deal breaker for me. I use brushes I picked up from Ross for $2 and they outperform those overpriced pieces of shit.

If anyone is looking for some good fucking amazing books by an awesome and genuinely fun and good natured dude, check out Jason Pargin, he is awesome and not problematic and his books are all bangers, and he also enabled and actively supports the careers of many other super awesome and creative people. Also, listen to Bigfeets.

You mean assumptions about the 800 dead hidden babies in what is a very common finding inthese settings? Those assumptions?

Don’t get off topic. Also, that’s speciesist, and just kind of rude.

The answer is the sponsors of this podcast!

Edit: Also, sharks would never do that, though. None of you have any reason to fear u-them.

Thats awful, but you know who wont drown babies and hide their bodies in a septic tank?

I would say it’s only possible, at least to the degree of Rowling, when the artist is dead. Someone can be a shitty person and not a monster, this is my regard for most actors, authors, and artists. cheat on your wife, have a drug abuse disorder, they’re a pretentious asshole that’s hard to work with, or something like that and I can still appreciate their work, they’re not running some weird political agenda funded by their proceeds (Rowling), a cult (Jared Leto), or gross predatory sexual abuse and tape (Kevin Spacey, Diddy.) Anyone purposefully, knowingly, and actively doing harm to others is not something I’m willing to financially or artistically support. When they die and cannot benefit from the proceeds, the art can stand as an independent entity, but as long as it’s under their wing it will be problematic. Gwyneth Paltrow is a weird fucked up person, but I can still enjoy a performance from her, for example, but Cuba Gooding Jr. being involved with Diddy shit is a no go for me.

When it comes to J.K. Rowling, as far as I’m concerned, Death of The Author requires the actual death of the author, otherwise there is no negotiating that you are financially supporting her agenda outside of her art.

Edit: Another good example would be Orson Scott Card, as a human I despise him and his views, but he is simply outspoken about his views and never started a whole god damned foundation with the intent to try to codify his views into law, and I can still enjoy the works of his I enjoy with nothing more than “man, that guy is a bigoted asshole, how the hell did he manage to write such hard Sci-Fi?” If Rowling were simply outspoken about her views then that would be one thing, but she is actively trying to ruin people’s lives and cause social and political erasure of people she refuses to understand via the profits of her works.

Oof.
