Definitely worth bringing up again.

Petroleum, when you think about it, is definitely an escaped piece of worldbuilding from a twee gothic fantasy dystopia

“The elven civilization gets energy from poisonous, flammable rock juice mined deep underground, sometimes causing earthquakes in the process. It’s slowly roasting their planet, but they keep doing it anyway to light their disposable palaces and fuel nihilistic displays of opulent wealth. Its stabler aethers are used in cosmetics rubbed upon the skin.”

Occult Philosophy by Svetoslav Petrov

Despite everything, the silver lining of this Tumblr nonsense is the incredible jokes everyone is casting into the void in desperate retaliation. That’s some Humanity Fuck Yeah, if I’ve ever seen it.

Hey buckaroos and varmints, soiled doves and scape-graces! You ever want an RPG that models the quick-drawing, fast-talking adventure of classic cowboy movies? Look no further than DEAD IN THE WEST, an upcoming project by my compadre Will, featuring art by myself and a team of other, better illustrators. Give it a look!

Here’s what’s going down with Channel Awesome, why the Google Doc was made, and a little bit about what’s happened since.

Channel Awesome is not so awesome

Many former contributors (and former management) came together to detail our various mistreatments over the course of ten years. 

CW: Mismanagement, sexism, sexual harassment, negligence, and shady behavior.

Many thanks to all the contributors, contractors, and fans who have come forward—particularly MarzGurl, Obscurus Lupa, Suede, and Linkara (and this may surprise people, but thank you to LordKaT for giving me a voice when no one else would and no one wanted to hear it) and thank you to the Team Marganars and the Cupcake Chat for being there for me.

You’ve heard a lot of thanks to the people who contributed to the document, but I also want to thank the newer current producers, who haven’t been on the receiving end of the poor treatment we endured, for standing in solidarity with us. I won’t name names, because I don’t want to put anyone’s position at risk, but thank you for demanding more from CA, and for those of you who have reached out with kind words and support through Facebook, Skype, and Twitter.

I also want to thank all of the fans for your support. KEEP PUSHING. Keep unsubscribing. Keep spreading the word. We all deserve better. Channel Awesome responded with a victim-blaming, non-apology apology.

[text for the visually impaired:  We wanted to take a moment to clear the air and acknowledge some of the recent public concerns raised by content creators previously associated with Channel Awesome. Channel Awesome is an organization that respects our producer partners and strives to create the best possible environment for everyone. We welcome a diverse community of people joining together to create great videos. For the people who have spoken out about past instances they deemed hurtful, or unprofessional, we sincerely regret you felt that way. Our priority has always been to help content partners succeed and provide people a vehicle to follow their dreams. When the need arose, we have distanced ourselves from people who were particularly callous, letting go of significant stakeholders in the interest of keeping our mission at the forefront. We appreciate and hear the frustrations of past producers. We’re actively taking internal steps to better improve communication w~h our producers so they can be focused on putting out their great content. And we’re open to constructive criticism-the kind that can help us become even better and serve the needs of our community. But criticism that isn’t a means to a productive end does little for either the party criticizing or those in the line of fire. Our focus now is on moving forward with the wonderful team we have and all our dedicated followers. We want to make our collective future the best it possibly can be. We thank our content creators, team, and fans for truly making our Channel Awesome. Here’s to creating something even better in the future.]

It appears they have no interest in making any real change or even addressing past wrongs. If Channel Awesome won’t change, #changethechannel away from Channel Awesome.

Are there still producers you like on Channel Awesome? Don’t harass this about this, but DO subscribe to their YT channels and become a patron if you can. Show them in a real way that they don’t need CA for any reason.
