I'd have gone with "The Fall of Noah Antwiler", but that works much better

I don't think even Kickassia got this much discussion. Proof that we just like to see things burn.

Yeah, Lupa or whatever doesn't come out of this smelling like roses either, but Spoony's reactions have shown that he probably deserved what he got, no matter how shady she was.

What's STILL happening by this point? Nothing right now, but I think Dougs return has given things a calm before the storm vibe.

I can't believe this dude gets this much attention. Well, when he's on point, he puts out a quality product. He's got a bit of a following. I get it. Granted, I dunno if it's 3 threads worthy, but still.

Ok, so since it's at like, the first page, enlighten me on the whole story. Why was the joke offensive? What exactly did he say? What did this Lupa chick do that was shady? What did this Spoony fellow do after and before that? What's the story, as now I don't have to go through 30 pages.

You'll find one of them on the previous threads.

That's why I asked here, so it's right on the first page, and it's been a little bit after the first event, so more information would have come out.

I'll just copy and paste this from the other thread, courtesy of Mr. Emoticon Man, TF Fan.
And the recent news is that the big boss has returned from his honeymoon.

Ok, so what's the deal with the rape joke? Why has that been brought up around other places on the board here?

With all due respect, there have been like a million recaps of this. You'll find one of them on the previous threads. The ones with the 30 pages? That's why I asked here, so it's right on the first page, and it's been a little bit after the first event, so more information would have come out. Here's my best attempt at a recap. Sorry if it's not too accurate, but I think it is. --Spoony made a joke about raping a female video person from the site. --The victim of the tweet didn't really give a crap. --Lupa, who had nothing to do with the situation, took offense to it. --Spoony got suspended. --It is important to note that Channel Awesome made a statement saying his suspension had nothing to do with the tweet, so it could have been bad timing or just another factor. --CA said they were getting a lot of complaints from fans about Spoony's behavior to them and they suspended him for harming the company's image. --Spoony went full Hardy and decided that the best thing he could do during his 4-week suspension was to rant on twitter about how stupid the company was --LordKat, ex-TGWTG guy, ran a stream with Lupa where he complained about how much of a dick Spoony was. He was such a dick while he did this that he somehow came off worse than Spoony. --Spoony got fired due to talking over his suspension. --Some people(Angry Joe) said they were on Spoony's side. The whole thing looks just downright unprofessional. --Doug Walker(Nostalgia Critic) comes back from his honeymoon. Everyone awaits for go "...So what the hell happened while I was gone?" --That's where things stand. Hope that helped bro. I might have missed a thing or two though, just saying. EDIT: Aaaand I just saw I was beaten to it.

Spoony made a joke a month ago about wanted to lock up JesuOtaku and love her 'his style' or something like that.
People get offending, Spoony, apparently, privately apologises to JO.
A month after the tweet, Spoony gets suspended by Channel Awesome. CA state that the suspension had nothing to do with the tweet or talent related issues.
Slightly before this/around the same time, Lupa posts a blog criticising the tweet. Around this time info starts to filter out that Lupa was very offended by Spoony's tweet. People start hypthesising that this is the reason for the suspension.
Spoony starts loosing this shit on twitter. Starts throwing around insults and seemingly having a slight mental breakdown.
Lupa appears on LordKat's live TF2 stream and they both start dissing Spoony to a, frankly, vile degre.
CA wishes Spoony well on his future endevours.
LK, at some point, wishes suicide on Spoony and says if you like him (Spoony) you can't like him (LK).
Spoony continues melting down twitterly.
Other TWGTG members retain a respectful distance. Nash desends JO from people attacking her. Angry Joe defends Spoony as he considers him a good friend. Linkara states he's not getting involved, Brad Jones stays out all together.
Spoony moves boards, still being wierd but seems to be chilling.
Most people think Spoony was an asshole and deserved to be fired. However, a similar amount of people think Lupa should at least be suspended, and CA should cut all ties with LK.
The final point to make though, is we're still not sure why Spoony was initially suspended. Its been implied that there were a LOT of complaints about Spoony, beyond the JO tweet and thats why he was suspended.

Why has that been brought up around other places on the board here?[/quote People thought that that was the reason he was suspended, so they lashed out at the girl who got offended by it, and Spoony's fans lashed out at the girl who he made the joke about, even though she said nothing on the matter and Spoony said she handled it better than everyone else by not making a big deal about it.
