👓 TGWTG Hope Chapman / Jacob "Jack" Chapman / JesuOtaku - Self-loathing weaboo redneck. Blew her way to ANN gig. Goon and troon.

I wish MisterMetokur made a hit piece on Jacob already.

Meh... I mean theres the shitty stalled kickstarter, being involved with getting Spoony fired (granted he started it and she didn't even seem to care) straight to gay BF and being a tranny whose into anime but not sure it has that much of interest. (if I am missing something please elaborate)

To sound like a SJW, she does seem happier as a man and is pulling the look off better than some dude in a wig so not sure she deserves the MisterMetokur treatment.
 
Who here is a former fan of JesuOtaku?

For me, I used to like her videos. I really enjoyed her Digimon retrospective videos, she had some really thoughtful and meaningful critiques on the anime she reviewed. I even liked her countdown videos and some of her humor as well. It just went downhill ever she started drawing drama (self-imposed, mind you) when she started bashing and insulting the fanbases of Korra and RWBY. I'm not a fan of either of those franchises, but that was the moment I started turning my back on her. These days, she comes off as so pretentious and elitist while being such a drama queen sometimes.

I too was a fan a JO at one time, but JO's increasing internet slap fights with various fandoms, the way she used the Desu Des Brigade to become famous before essentially tossing them to the side, then just up and abandoning her ongoing video series and projects (including the aforementioned Digimon retrospective) without finishing them (after promising to do so), and finally, what she did to Nash, completely turned me off from her. By the time she went trans, I had long stopped giving a shit about JO entirely, with the Trans thing just being a final nail in the coffin for me. Everything else that has happened or come out about her since then has been icing on the cake for me.

It says a lot that an evangelical turned troon who made $20k vanish isn't even worthy of the internet tabloids.

I liked her stuff a lot when I was younger. I was introduced through a lot of anime and even regularly listened to her recommendations and reviews to figure out whats worth watching. I jumped off after she started going crazy deep into soc-jus, increasingly picked fights with fandoms, making uninformed assertions, and started judging shows' quality based on how gay/feminist friendly they were.
It just seems like being a "popular" anime commentator for a period of time went to her head, and she's never come down from it.

Maybe not a fan, per se, but yeah, I used to like some of her stuff several years ago. I liked her Ghibli retrospective, for instance.

I stopped watching her for the same reason I stopped watching Demolition D; they never finish things. I pretty much forgot she existed until I saw this thread, actually.
 
Wtf happened to the other desu ppl like Vixen

Arkada still releases videos under his Glass Reflection brand. His Youtube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/GRArkada/featured

Professor Otaku also keeps releasing videos on his Youtube channel, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFrHjof_-xRfaBd5fHs5Aw

Vixen used to run a Tumblr blog, to try to keep the D2 Brigade's flame burning, but I can't find it, so it appears to no longer exist. Other than that, she doesn't seem to be active in reviewing anymore, and, what's more, had all of her old videos taken down off the site because she was afraid that future employers or coworkers would find them and they would reflect on badly on her. Just like JO, she actively encourages fans to not reupload videos.

Malakye dropped off the face of the Earth.

The TvTropes page for the brigade is just about the only proof whatsoever now that the site ever existed, as its gone dark, and Blip.tv's demise lead to the loss of most of their content. And to end this on a slightly less dour note. There is this funny bit from Desu Des Brigade YMMV page on TvTropes (found here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/DesuDesBrigade):

"To quote the then-female identifying JesuOtaku in the very first DesuRattle: "I'll probably sound like a man when I'm in my thirties..." Well, now we should probably hope you will JO, seeing as you are a man." (Emphasis theirs)

Ha ha ha, no, TvTropes. JO is not and never will be a man. Also on that page is a thinly veiled snipe at Metokur:

"JO retired from video making in 2014, and though initially approving of reuploads, has now asked people to take them down as some YouTubers are targeting certain Channel Awesome associates and he feels that may hurt his current employment."

If you ain't got nothing to hide JO, you need not worry.

Isn't against the rules on tvt to "misgender" someone? Or is that just their liberal userbase?
 
Darling wasn't bad, just mediocre. And fuck that nigga for hating Pop Team Epic
Darling was pretty bad and the reason for that is it's so forgettable, as for popteamepic It's an anime based on a 4 Koma manga I totally get not liking it but to consider it in the worst animes of the year is just clearly trying to go against the grain of what is considered good by both westerners and Japanese.
 
So ANN got into a little hot water for an advertisement editorial for an anime film made by a Japanese cult.

Jacob has kept quiet so far, but Zac has for some reason felt the need to get involved. His initial statement was "I'm separate from the advertising department and played no role in this." Fair enough.

A little while after this, in a desperate defense of his company, he says people should also be mad at Eleven Arts for distributing the film, and goes on to attack a visual novel translator for translating Dies irae, which has Nazi characters.

"How can you come at me for taking money from a cult when you took money to translate a visual novel with Nazis in it? Haha, shots fired, wig snatched!" Fucking moron has successfully pissed off every side of aniTwitter.

Oh, Jesus. These guys are always so gung-ho about exposing problematic content and practices in the anime industry, but the second they're found complicit in something nasty, they have to resort to "it's okay because everyone else does it!".

The response says a lot more about their own attitude towards the subject than anything else. It's not about moral integrity, it's about muckraking and ego-boosting.
 
Jacob has so far said nothing about this. Unless someone wants to push Jacob on it.
 
Wasn't this the person Spoony made a rape joke to?

Why would you ruin what little shred of professionalism you have left over a trannie? It's like both parties didn't understand the lynch pin with everything.

I don't even know what this "Hope" person looks like, yet they are the catalyst of so much ruined professionalism.

Hope wasn't even a tranny at the time the joke was made.
