I still think she is a bitch for muck raking and will not watch a video made by her or her current TGWTG lover.

Yeah, if anyone deserves to suffer (not physically) for this, it's definitely Jason, who proved what a shithead he really is.

I've never watched a LordKat video, and I never will as a result of what he said. Never cared for Phelous' review style, and Lupa was decent, but yeah, their actions in helping to add fuel to the fire turned me away from her as well. Like mentioned already, the only ones involved that left without any damage, and in fact made me like them even more, were JO and Nash.

Yea Im making sure I watch more Nash to give him a little more in the way of Viewer bump. But Lupa, I kinda liked her strange side character reviews, but will not watch them again.

Noah Antwiler @thespoonyone Um. Is it normal when you're going through drug withdrawal for the world to slow down like in the Matrix? Because I'm tripping out
Noah Antwiler @thespoonyone Just so you know, withdrawal from Cymbalta is a B****.
Noah Antwiler @thespoonyone Love means having someone around to hold your hair back when you puke.
Noah Antwiler @thespoonyone God damn, if I'd known quitting an SSRI was going to make me feel like I'd been dropkicked in the head for over a week...
---------
Both SSRI and Cymbalta are for depression. I hopes not the drugs that have chilled him out.

In a completely insane fashion, I've ended up coming back round to Spoony's side here.
All of this is his fault at heart as best as I can tell, and I'd be lying if I said the fact that I like his work a lot wasn't relevant, but at the end of the day - Spoony acted like an asshole, and was cut loose, as he should have been. It might be the wake-up call he needed and he seems to be levelling out.
But those who don't even have the weak excuse of problems with depression (I'm not saying he's not depressed or it doesn't contribute, but we have no idea what degree it's to and how much influence it had on his actions) were the ones who showed their true colours here. Spoony has come across as a guy who's gone off the rails and everyone is pitying and will maybe come back around to in the future.
Phelous, LordKat and Lupa have just eliminated any liking I had for them entirely now and I've not watched any of their videos since.
The point I'm making is, I feel like Spoony can level out, bounce back from this and apologise for acting how he did, and we can decide whether to forgive him.
The other three had no depression, no drug influence, no anything to use an excuse for the way they acted.

As a guy who has battled with depression in the past, I'm on Spoony's side here. Sure he acted like a total ass, but as of late, he's been the better man. He's taken responsibility for hios actions, he hasn't bashed on Channel Awesome, he told his fans not to bash on JO, who he stated had acted the most mature, and has even attempted to push the blame away from Lupa, stating that it wasn't because of her that he left.

I can't really feel bad for Spoony here, and don't think Lupa or Phelous were as terrible as people make out. She did talk publicly about a joke she found offensive, but that's all she did. It was a bad move, sure, but at the end of the day, that's all she did. Spoony is the one who made it a big deal, and Phelous sided with her like you'd expect a boyfriend to be. Yes, those two look worse than most people, just because they were more heavily involved in the drama, but they don't deserve to take blame just because Spoony has issues from a break up a year and a half ago. Yeah, it's good that he's got his issues in order, but this entire incident blowing up should be placed at his feet and no one else's. They were right in firing him for that weekend outburst, and it seems like that might have been the kick in the ass he needed. Lupa didn't do anything to really prompt the level of response that Spoony had against her.
LK is the only one who really crossed a huge line. Well, him and Spoony's more hardcore fans, who are prone to harassing anyone who isn't kissing Spoony's ass, even when he is against it.
edit: That said, I don't really see why it's so necessary that we take anyone's side here. If people enjoy what these people produce, their behind the scenes drama isn't really any of our business.

This is very easy to say, but it's not always that straightforward. I hate the nosy paparazzi culture that exists nowadays, yet if I do believe rumours it can colour my perception of people.

If people enjoy what these people produce, their behind the scenes drama isn't really any of our business. I have to agree with you. Lupa wasn't as bad in her talk with LordKat as people made her out to be. Phelous really wasn't as huge a prick either. Oh, they aren't innocent wonderful angels, and they should have had some sort of backlash, but that's neither here, nor there. However, I will never ever watch or have anything to do with Jason/LordKat ever again. Before, his complains about "BETRAYAL!" and the bees thing carried a little bit of weight. However, neither one was THAT bad...not enough to deserve the multiple outbursts he had against Noah. He's welcome to hate Noah, but to wish death upon him...worse...wish that his own brother would murder him, goes beyond crossing the line. I'll come out and say it, that after hearing and reading Jason's various opinions and Spoony and TGWTG, I got the feeling that he was sort of just a lazy prick who really wanted to get paid huge dollars to sit on his fat ass and just play games...not review or talk about them...just to be paid by people for the privilege of watching him play. For all intents and purposes, he has proven to be exactly the kind of person I thought he was. I don't hate the guy, but I will never have anything to do with him again.

I've been slowly watching less and less of all these reviewers anyway, but here's my final take.
Spoony isn't innocent in all this, but at least it looks like the madness has passed and he's trying to climb out of the hole he dug. Some people are softening on Lupa and Phelous, perhaps because they 'had nothing to do with it', but seeing as I wasn't finding them entertaining anymore, I've just got zero interest in either. Lupa is a bitch for going public about something dead in the water and in no way involved her, offensive or not. Phelous is a hypocritical (rape horn jokes in at least ten different videos) douche who's just agreeing with his girlfriend because she's his girlfriend.
Aside from one comment, Nash is fine, and continues to be one of my favorite reviewers. JO, I'm sure is a lovely person, but her videos bore me a little bit, and I usually disagree with her opinions.
I wasn't watching LordKat, but he's probably the biggest piece of shit in the entire mess.
So my parting thought is, go Cinema Snob!

This is very easy to say, but it's not always that straightforward. I hate the nosy paparazzi culture that exists nowadays, yet if I do believe rumours it can colour my perception of people. To an extent, if it's a situation where someone does something OJ bad. But if internet celebrity A hates internet celebrity B, then I don't think anyone should ever get up in arms over it. And in some cases, like Spoony's fans, it probably hurts a hell of a lot more than it helps. The worst in this case was Spoony ridiculously trying to be a martyr, his fans harassing everyone else involved to try to give the guy a god complex, and LK being an utter douche. Lupa took offense over a joke that was very personal to her at the wrong time, Nash made a brief comment lamenting the fact that Spoony's trolls were harassing his girlfriend, and Phelous... well, I never cared what he said anyways.

This is very easy to say, but it's not always that straightforward. I hate the nosy paparazzi culture that exists nowadays, yet if I do believe rumours it can colour my perception of people. The behind the scenes drama isn't our business, until it becomes that by not being behind-the-scenes and filling up out twitter timelines. If the people had kept it behind closed doors and not made it all very, very public the paparazzi culture wouldn't have clung to it. As for 'choosing sides', it comes down to how much you believe the actual person is in the character. If you think Mel Gibson isn't really fighting for freedom while in a kilt, you can enjoy Braveheart despite his remarks. But if the person in question - internet celebrities here - isn't playing a character so much as just over-exaggerating themselves, it may be hard to distinguish the two since they're not really different. In that case I can see someone deciding not to like a reviewers videos anymore.
