Did I ever mention she basically worships the NC and throws a fit if someone so much as implies that Doug isn't the second coming of Christ?

He "criticized" Hollywood (not a specific company or person, just Hollywood) for "making themselves look desperate & unprofessional" by removing illegally published copies of their content [his reviews] from Youtube

See, using clips from a movie isn't actually illegal, since it's (theoretically) covered under fair use law. The law, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't give any sort of limit on exactly what percentage of a work you can use, and I doubt the studios give enough of a crap to actually try prosecuting anyone over this sort of thing.

That said, Doug still makes himself look like a tool. For one thing, he's started reviewing a lot more movies from the last few years; what the hell did he think was gonna happen when he uploaded 20+ minutes of clips from them to YouTube? For another, if fair use applies, so does "My house, my rules." And YouTube's stance on that has always been that a copyright holder can request a DMCA takedown for any reason, fair use doesn't enter into it as far as they're concerned.

In fact, Angry Joe of all people has actually handled the matter a lot better, since he's at least acknowledged that 95% of copyright claims are done automatically by YouTube's servers, and that the developers who do go DMCA-crazy are usually either old-fashioned Japanese dudes, or dishonest fucks who just want to stop their shitty, broken games from being reviewed.

On another note, at least we know now what Demo Reel would have been like with Tamara instead of Rachel. Better... but not by a whole lot.

that isn't really shocking most video reviews are a bit inspired by the NC but most don't hero worship him like that jezz

There might as well be an entire thread for her. And I am not kidding when I say there is an entire ED page about her. Even before I discovered it, I could tell she was no saint.

I used to watch her shit (and it as JUST THAT, TBH with myself...) a lot - I'll provide a link (specifically to ED, just for fun!):
https://encyclopediadramatica.se/FanFic_Critic

The only thing missing is her video (YouTube) page full of her... "Talents".
 
You know, I can understand reviewing Fanfiction, but having looked at her TVtropes page as well as her ED page, why does she feel that she has to rip off the storyline elements from all of the other TGWTG producers? And poorly.

Ironic, seeing she loves them so much, yet steals material from them.

I'm personally a fan of Linkara and some of his storylines, but even I can see that they have flaws. But at least Lewis is somewhat competent at making up these stroylines! From what I've seen, most of her ones invovle her trying to kill herself after reading a bad fanfic, which is such a ridiculously over the top action.

Perhaps she should kill herself after creating a bad fanfic, considering her whole schtick seems to be a bad fanfic. Arguably a fanfic of a fanfic, considering the original is itself fan content.

It's kind of the whole point of fanfic, though, that it's amateurish content created not by professionals but by fans. It's supposed to be the way it is. Some of it is so atrociously bad that it shows its author to be personally an autist or even an outright lolcow and that gives it some humor value, but to review this stuff as if it's supposed to be up to some kind of professional standard just seems to be missing the point entirely.

For that matter, it misses the point so entirely that this chick seems like a lolcow herself.
 
I could have sworn we had a thread for FFC. Maybe on the old forum. Anyway is she still active? Last I heard there was some bullshit with some website that bricked.

Who the fuck needs a fanfiction critic? Isn't that like making a career of going into people's houses and criticizing their kids' art on the refrigerator?

Those who can't bother to watch or read a riff of a fan-fic? Seriously, as much as how one can say they are a critic, being a critic of someones works such as My Immortal or Fallout Equestria isn't on the same level as a guy reviewing Hollywood films. If I wanted to be entertained by a person doing fan-fics, I'd go to Project AFTER and read their riffs on various fan-fics.

We did have a thread on FFC. The link of former member (now salty anti-Kiwi) HomerBeoulve provides should confirm it.

The thing about Masterpiece Fanfic Theater was that it wasn't necessarily a "review" as it was more a dramatic reading. Sage would take fanfictions and read them as straight as possible with some text put in afterwards that gave some sardonic commentary on what the fuck he was reading, and he would give some kind of snarky or genuine opinion following the end of the story.

It was actually Sage's best work imo, but he stopped it because, as he said with the Wolf Blood Lineage, he was beginning to feel that stuff like WBL and Historical Fanfiction by Peter Chimaera were intentionally bad, and thus they lacked the appeal that My Immortal had where there was a "slight" chance that the author was writing the opus intentionally seriously and it just happened to be laughably bad, while the other fanfictions just had so much bait and cringeworthy stuff that you just kinda knew, deep down, that no one was writing that seriously.

You're talking about the Net Dwellers. Yes that place went belly up due to not paying the server costs so they just moved to another site called Manic Expression. I could go on for hours about everything wrong with that site but all you need to know about them are these two videos

As for Fan Fic Critic her laptop died and she did have the equipment needed to run the show (read: she was lazy and couldn't take criticism) so she gave up on making internet reviews. Now she just mooches off her sister and posts on Tumblr.

I get that. I feel the same way about Sharknado. Movies like The Happening are great because the M. Night Shyamalans of the world actually think they're making something with artistic merit, and they fail completely. Those walking brain tumors at the Asylum are basically Seltzerberging the Ed Woods of the world.

Yeah, I heard about the whole BBC fallout deal. I think he attacked the other members of the site she was a part of too, unless I'm mistaken.

Also, Doug's attitude towards Hollywood feels mighty hypocritical considering how he and his posse have taken down reviews and videos making fun of him.

The dangers of a huge hugbox.

If all you've heard and been exposed to is undying praise, the minute someone questions you you can't quite handle it like a mature person.

We have an entire wikia dedicated to the textbook definition of "Hugbox'd."

We apparently do, according to c-no, but I'm not going to necropost unless there's new stuff to talk about on her on that thread.
