🌟 Internet Famous The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)

I've mentioned it before, but the concept of a person kidnapping a child in order to rescue her from an abusive home could actually be decent in the hands of somebody who can actually write. (Honestly sounds like something Jodi Picoult would do.) Handled by Enter, it's just sloppy and doesn't introduce the kinds of questions such a story needs to be exploring.

Although, even Enter himself admits this one was shit in this post, which also brings to light certain other things about his life:

"Upon rewriting it, I want to remove or downplay the physical abuse, due to how child abuse is usually treated by the law. Physical or sexual abuse, they take you very seriously (making the lot harder to believe)."

Erm... Enter, have you ever read the news? Believe me, kids in serious danger are often pushed aside due to an overburdened system until it's too late and their abusers have escalated to murder.

I also managed to find a Reddit post quoting one of Enter's old journals he deleted where he talks a lot about his upbringing. I had been looking for this for a while, I'm glad to see it was saved somewhere:

You know, something tells me Enter really doesn't like school.

That's a pretty common attitude for kids to develop during their school years. I know I did. The difference is that the majority of kids, disabled or not, eventually get the hint that yeah it's bullshit but it's what's required, so you suck it up and do it. Everyone knows that it's bullshit, the standardized tests, the school curriculum, no child left behind, etc-it's just one of those shit things in life (in America at least) that we have to deal with. Enter isn't radical or new in this line of thought, most people would agree with his feelings on the education system as a whole. But the fact that he's held onto that resentment for years post graduating and has done nothing to change that system he hates so much is pretty sad.

Enter is such a moron. The reason viruses don't kill nearly as many people as they did not even 100 years ago is because of the drastic improvement in basic hygiene and the development of vaccines. Humans developed resistances to viruses, not the other way around.

I think he means that on the sense that viruses need to be parasites to live, and a parasite that kills it's host will, as a consequence, die as well, so non-lethal strains would be selected
Enter is ignoring that for that selection to happen, there are deadly strains out there, and those may cause some pretty big damage

Also, if the virus gets to reproduce and it's offspring leaves the body, before the host dies, that selection becomes less relevant

I mean, it's one thing to say society sucks, it's another to be self-aware to know this is the only way for some people to succeed. Crying does nothing, only action. Growing Around is pretty much the antithesis of this high school mindset of his. Why do you think he put all the kids in charge?

That college fund never existed. I grew problems with money. Money that I worked for in a paper route was stolen from me, up to 200 dollars at a time. I spent the money before it could be stolen, habits that still exist in me to this day.

Colour me shocked. The more I read this thread the more I end up comparing Mr. Enter with fucking Chris Chan.

Excellent point. Let's be honest, he just likes to complain because he gets ass pats from the internet when he does.

And this goddamn idiot thought he could trust himself with over $300K of other people’s money?

It's also dumb because it's dumb for a grown adult to get pissy at school unless they are one of the following:

A. Someone who paid for their education and is suffering in debts and such
B. Still taking classes like in college
C. Their job is involved in the education system
D. Has to take care of someone who goes to school
E. Activist/Political figure who wants to fix the education system

Enter fits none of these criteria and bitches about school as though he is affected currently by policies. Like the education systsem is bad and I'm not saying not to critique it but Enter drags out his complaints as though he were an activist when he spends most of his time just in his house reviewing children's cartoons and working on a borderline fetish cartoon that will never go anywhere.

Or, I could understand it if something VERY extreme had happened that caused actual trauma. "The teacher gave me busywork," is not trauma.

Yeah that is another case that is acceptable. Enter just hated school because he was held accountable to do things.

I feel like John wants to be a dad because he wants to "undo" the abuse and mistakes of his own parents.

which is ludicrous as it is common knowledge that many victims are likely to grow up to be abusers as well.

 

[Just_a_Bored_Guy]

which is ludicrous as it is common knowledge that many victims are likely to grow up to be abusers as well.

That reminds me of something.

Number 1: Freudian Excuse - Abusive Childhood equals Abusive Adult
You've seen this one before. Our villain is a psycho abusive jackass because he had an abusive childhood. Or sometimes downright evil. Being abused as a child turns you insane. Being abused as a child causes you to disconnect from the world. Sometimes it's used as an excuse, sometimes it's just an explanation. It happens a lot in crime shows, and it happens quite a bit in sitcoms too (from Benny Lopez to Abe Simpson). And as I've stated in the Screams of Silence addendum, it happens a lot when we talk about actual abuse.

The main problem I have with this is basically with the children that see them. Either the child realizes that they've been abused, or they don't. Now if they don't realize they're being abused, and what they're doing is "normal" to them, then yes there's a chance that they'll go on to be abusive (not outright serial killers though, as sometimes portrayed), and the portrayal falls deaf on them. However, the child that does realize they're being abused. What would their reaction to seeing this stuff be? Well, with me personally, it was quite a bit of self-loathing and fear of what I'd eventually become.

I'm not going to lie. Why this cliche is my most hated is because of personal experience. When you watch these stories, and they are fucking everywhere, you become afraid of what you'll become. And no, it doesn't help you "correct your behavior" or anything like that, it builds up anxiety and leaves you further and further from healthy. Having an abusive childhood will always affect you, sure. But it's about as varied as a non-abusive childhood. It's not a one-way ticket to being a screwed up person, and with enough time and enough distance you can heal from what was done to you.

The abused children who grow up to abuse, or be abused, do so because they think it's normal. You know, like the general public thinking that it's normal to poison their kids' version of the other parent after a divorce. And sometimes that isn't even enough. And even if someone thinks abuse is "normal" they can strive for better than normal. The delusion of abuse being normal can be cured with therapy and exposure to what is normal and what is acceptable.

Maybe I'll talk about this one in depth sometime too, but I think I'm done for tonight.

It's things like these which give the impression that Enter only had television to look to for guidance. And Growing Around at times seems like he wants to be a positive influence to other kids in that situation.

John is an anti-vaxxer. Even if he had a "normal" upbringing, that alone would make me doubt his parenting.

 

[Burmese Rice Farmer]

John is an anti-vaxxer.

I guess we can use John as an icon against anti-vaxxers, because seems they'll be tarded either way, vaccine or not.

But, Enter, that’s just a thing that happens in life. It’s well understood that abuse is a cycle that’s extremely difficult to break. The reason it’s shown so often in crime shows is because a lot of serial killers were severely traumatized in their early life IRL. Doesn’t excuse anything but you can’t reee and pretend that abuse doesn’t lead to more abuse.

Mr. Enter himself is a decent example. He grew up with parents berating and degrading him for trivial mistakes, and now he berates and degrades TV writers for theirs.

 

[BlueCandle]

All this stuff about his past makes his fixation on little girls, children, and sissyfication, sound more and more like a cry for help. Dude wants to relive his childhood the way he thinks it should have been like.

Well he did say Sally is the type of kid he wanted to be growing up. I guess having the power to abuse adults is included in that desire.

THAT'S NOT TRUE ENTER HAS THIS EPIC ANIMATIC TO PROVE YOU HATERS WRONG

https://youtube.com/watch?v=99JR1MaZSA4

Context: In his "commentary", he literally used this animatic as though it were proof that he was getting something done on his show to flex on the haters.

When people who make Games Grumps animateds are able to show more progress in a couple months (sometimes even just weeks) then Entard has done in 5 years.

 

[andr0id psycho sho(ker]

When people who make Games Grumps animateds are able to show more progress in a couple months (sometimes even just weeks) then Entard has done in 5 years.

that's easy though. Game grumps once had inspired people doing it. Enter has inspiration and no skills so he contracts the work to someone else and several controlls it, if at all possible. Also enter listens to no one when he produces these things so he never hears how he can do better, thinking he's already perfect as is
