💰 Grifter Extra Credits - leftie gaming channel that had two of its members accused of "misconduct" in only 2 months

[X-Shaped Weeaboo]

Okay I looked into this and here's what's up.
The show started as a school project. Danial did it in the style of Yahtzee and sped up his voice to be in the 10 minute time limit for the class. Then they just kept it like that.

This makes this the third content creator I'm aware of that copies Yahtzee's manner of speaking without understanding why only he can make it charming. (The other's being Moviebob and Jerry Peet.) Two more and I get a free movie ticket. (No I don't.)

Does Ben actually speed up his voice? I think he's just able to do that.

He's stated that he doesn't, he just talks fast when making the ZP videos.

Alright, I finished the OP (if I knew this required so much work I would have just made an ED article)
If you read it already, feel free to read it again since almost everything has been changed. I added whatever I found in this thread that I thought was relevant as well as some links and pictures.

I didn't look into any of the other contributors so here is a list of everyone's names pulled off of wikipedia, in case anyone is interested in doing that. (most of these people are probably not interesting but I do recognize some of the names from somewhere)

Daniel Floyd
Carrie Floyd
James Portnow
Allison Theus
Elisa Scaldaferri
Scott DeWitt
Dan Jones
David Hueso
Heather McNabb
Lilienne Chan
Soraya Een Hajji
Nick DeWitt
Matt Krol
Echo Diaz
Will Overgard
Erin Siegel (not part of the team but show's up a lot)
Kate Donaldson
Dan Emmons
Dean and Sean Kiner

If someone digs up anything about these people I'll add it to the OP.

I still don't understand why this is in "Community Watch".

 

[Oh Shit I'm Sorry]

Which is sad because they actually had some good shows when I was on the forums, but that was before Extra Creditz and the like showed up. I actually quit around then because Susan Arendt and her cronies started policing the place like Stalin.

Ah, good ol' Susan Arednt



It seems like pretty much every former Escapist employee in the past few years is either a cow with a thread here (Movieblob, Sterling and now EC) or a cow orbiter/minicow like Arednt and Russ Pitts (guy who did the Zero Punctuation theme. Went ham over The Escapists handling of GG (think he may have quit over it but I'm not 100% positive) and spent his free time sperging out over it on Facebook with people like Leigh Alexander).

Only one I can think of that might not fit the category would be the Unskippable group but other than them being friends with Zoe Quinn orbiter Maya/Felix Kramer I know nothing about them or their departure from The Escapist.

>implying MovieBob can take criticism

It's really impressive how this person can tweet while blind.

I remember Scott DeWitt, he's the guy behind Fanboys Online and got heavily into SJW shit after his brother died and lashed out a lot. Nowadays he's pretty much disappeared off the internet.

Alright, so the #1 thing that is missing in the OP are caps of the call-out tweets that started all this, I know you archived them, but it's also good to add something for Google image search too lol:

And the cherry on top, this is who accusation comes from, this Soraya Een Hajji, note the pronouns and GaymerX connection:

This person has been in panels with our favorite congressional candidate, the one on your far left (obligatory @Jaimas tag, isn't that Tanya DePass on Wu's right?):

There are way, way more cow crossovers here. This person may not be a cow, but they sure know a lot of them.


Probably because Extra Credits are a community of creators, at least from reading your OP. I think we should lean into the curve here and expand the thread in that direction by adding in more creator and fan tardation as well.

It always makes me laugh because these types are all about "feelings-feelings-feelings" and then shortcircuit when they try and process that two people can have different feelings about the same thing.

Then it becomes a race to try an explain who in the argument should get the trump card.

You wanna know what's hilarious? After checking things more, I don't think Soraya is even trans, she's just a fat cis chick who wants to feel special.

Scott was also a frequent SA poster and nearly avoided Fanboys turning into another CAD due to the feedback he got there.

Too bad he raged his way offline.

Loading Ready Run used to do decent work, I really liked Checkpoint on PATV, but I think the skeevy looking guy with crazy eyebrows went hard into anti-GG bullshit

 

[Foltest]

The only decent things they do is their history videos, even if they have some questionable "facts" in them. James need to get a haircut and shave off that beard. It ain't 05 anymore.

 

[Zaryiu]

As someone who loves to learn about history: Fuck those faggots

 

[Fistbeard_McThunderaxe]

This is the only Extra Credits video I liked. Its very informative and taught me the importance of chakras.

Kathleen seems to be getting rather SJWish on certain issues and has made some pretty "fucking white male" comments in a couple of videos without a hint of it being a joke. A pity because I really liked those guys. They are big into magic and friendly with a lot of the people at woc so that could be a big draw in that direction.

Is it worth considering a switch from just an EC community watch to an Escapist one? I feel we got a lot of minor cows and communities out of that site apart from the obvious shining stars of spergdom that could make a decent thread when put together.

Oh, that's a shame, Kathleen was great, very good comedic timing. I know this is kind of off-topic but how's Graham doing? I really liked his joke delivery.

 

[Xarpho]

They also made a video about fighting games being just too darn hard! ;-; And talking down to fighting game pros

https://youtube.com/watch?v=n_xG1Yg_QoM

From what I heard, that was the single video that destroyed the illusion that they knew what they were talking about.

He does seem to try and stay away from any of that shit on either side so no idea. Though he did weigh in on the Jermy Hambly/THOTgate crap he didn't go all in like a few on either side decided to. He was in a video against GG around the time all that shit was kicking off but it wasn't the typical aGG "you all racist, homophobic soggykneeists".

 

[Marche]

I remember them saying something dumb along the lines of "Western RPGs can come from Japan and JRPGs can come from the west" when talking about Dark souls

It's no real surprise they got the sex pests, I am more hoping their good buddy Rami Ismil gets exposed. that guy is the biggest dumbass right next to the night in the woods dev

The manlet glasses guy? Paul, I think his name was?

From what I heard, that was the single video that destroyed the illusion that they knew what they were talking about.

To be fair you could probably say that about pretty much every video of theirs.
