LTA: The End of Zaid Magenta(?)
This was a surprise, to say the least. For those who're not in the know, Zaid Magenta, or MisAnthroPony, he was a content reviewer. You may've heard of him through his less than pleasent discussions of Doug Walker, The Last of Us Part 2, the new Star Wars movies, and if there was anything else he did it pales in comparison. Those of you who followed me way back would know I didn't particularly like him. While I'm no fan of toxic positivity, that owed to something more personal, Zaid fit the opposite extreme to a T. I felt like he embodied the worst aspects of those who support the causes he preached, referring to his views on media. He's essentially what those on the other side consider that side to be, negative, aggressive and petty as fuck. When it comes to progression and how far you push your support, it can come off as disingenuous at best, as if you just took an idea at face value and ran with it without any sense of what you are fighting for, or you just took a kernel of
10 Years
As of this date, I've been on deviantArt for 10 years. Barring sites I joined in 2010, deviantArt was the first site I began regularly posting content on, and now it has been ten years I made this account. Even in spite of the site's faults, I had stayed on for better or worse, made a lot of friends, lost a lot of friends, made posts or took part in things I'm not proud of, but over the years, I grew some, learned some, and here I am now. Thank you to everyone who has stuck by me and allowed me to keep going, I hope to continue to do well and better to the future.
LTA: Seth MacFarlane Quits Family Guy Indefinitely
There's been another Writer's Guild strike. However long this may be. When it comes to labor and fair treatment, cracks in that foundation always show, and here's another case for it. But, what makes this one more interesting is the lengths people would go to fight for better treatment. In this case, Seth MacFarlane, announced he has quit Family Guy until the Guild would agree to better practices. For this, Seth may seem like a bargaining chip, one of the most prolific television writers ever, for a network that has banked on his name and contributions, is stepping down from his ongoing projects as a middle finger to the Guild. But that's probably not what you're thinking. Thing of it is, while Seth has no longer been active on Family Guy as a writer, remember, he voices a stark bulk of the characters, and thus had to stay on to keep things consistent. Family Guy has only had two actor changes in his history, from Mila Kunis replacing Lacey Chabert as Meg, to Mike Henry losing his
LTA: PIEGUYRULZ's Retirement
Not too long ago PIEGUYRULZ formally announced his resignation from content creation. It seems he decided to wait to address this to avoid unjust speculation, and I give him credit on that, you always need to give things time when it comes to abandoning a platform so you can really think about whether or not you're making the right decision. In his post, PIEGUY points out the exact reasons why he lost the desire to make content, with some key reasons being that the internet at large is unwelcome to particular opinions, how many degenerates the community holds (and not just Cosmodore, CC West may be even worse) and general stagnation. All justifiable reasons given the circumstances. However, I do have one particular issue with one of his reasons. Yes, the internet is toxic when it comes to opinions, just go on Twitter, hiveminds and the like. My problem is that I feel like PIEGUY underestimates his own influence, and influence is a key factor to how toxicity begins, it's all about
