This shit is intentional, there's just too many coincidence in the design and writing process for it not to be (Dictator's design and his name being the opposite of Kinger) + Gooseworx's old Nazi tweets.

The way most of these are from 2021 and onwards... ewwwwwwww

This also seems like a good opportunity to bring up other disgusting tweets I've seen screenshots of and haven't seen people talk about:

Unfortunately though, this controversy just exposed a major racist side from the fandom where people thinks it's okay to say a racial slur and claiming that "It's a nothingburger" and that "people are just being sensitive over a 'word'" (that 'word' in question having a racial history behind it, mind you) despite the fact that Michael had said he's heavily against it and not to mention, the fandom is also forcing black people to forgive them when it's literally their choices if they want to or not and it doesn't help that the people that does this are white people themselves. Some black people did forgive them though while the rest refuse to, understandably so.

However, people are suddenly starting to digging more of their past wrongdoings like that Anne frank x Goku video that Michael used to be a part of and Gooseworx back then used to be a fan of Shadman (who is a major pedophile that drew porn of REAL children and is a neo-nazi, he became a violent drug addict and was arrested for a deadly weapon assault) and many other things, apparently someone said she deleted a tweet where she joked about being racist which was a horrible timing. And not just that, they even now are doing the same thing to other VAs like Sean Chiplock, i don't like the guy much knowing the fact that he refused to apology for that earthquake joke back then but bro, if they really wanted to find a way to call him out, they could have just tried to do enough research, him being a "groomer" was already debunked like 2-3 (i don't remember) years ago by Casper and the callout post about it was deleted because of that (and because they spoke over Casper, i'm surprised he stayed friends with them after that).

When people knew about this, they felt that it's not doing "any justice" (if that's the correct word) but rather people doing it for the sake of cancel culture and honestly, now that i think about it, i guess i can understand why they feel this way.

I mean, yeah, learning that it's not the first time they fuck up that bad is horrible to know. Ngl, i'm surprised they didn't even bother deleting all of their old tweets that contained something like racist jokes.

I'm curious about your thoughts on it.

It is a whole dumpster fire and created a domino effect. The reason why it happened in the first place is because of a user in the livestream. Their username had nega in it, causing a brief confusion in the livestream as many people thought Ashley said the n word. If it was only a misunderstanding then I would understand. But it didn’t stay that way.

Caytlin should also be held responsible for making the shirt. Their laughters went on for so long, it’s crazy. Michael and Ashley shouldn’t have said it, let alone repeat it multiple times especially when they were well aware of how it sounded aloud.

Gooseworx was also in the livestream chat and contributed to the nega joke. It’s also very disappointing that many people are weaponizing black people who think it’s a nothing burger against other black individuals who feel hurt by the situation, forcing them to accept Ashley and Michael’s apologies. When in reality, they aren’t obligated to accept it.

It’s the bare minimum but I am glad that Ashley kept the livestream up. As for Gooseworx, she has a lot to address. I think it’s in her best interest to clear the air and apologize for her old tweets. If she doesn’t then these 2021 and 2022 tweets are the closest thing to seeing her thought process regarding her edgy jokes.

When it comes to her humor, Gooseworx should find a decent middle ground. She isn’t a fan of Shadman, it’s her doing tasteless shock humor. I feel deleting the racism related tweets beforehand wouldn’t change the situation. Michael Kovach also addressed his past VA work. Do whatever you want with that information.

At this point we should all be familiar with the concept that TADC takes a fair bit of inspiration from IHNMAIMS, a short story with a similar premise about a rogue AI torturing a small group of humans. Funnily enough, that was one of the very first posts I made about this subject in this particular tag. There were quite a few then, and still some now, that argue the validity of this claim. Stupidly, but they argue nonetheless.

But now that the tweets are laid out, and all has been said, and we’re finally having the conversation about how Gooseworx’s misogyny has leeched its way into the show…I feel it’s also important to mention that some of those n@zi tendencies she just can’t seem to shut up about snuck into there too.

Because…well what else am I supposed to think when I see Kinger’s character? An intelligent man, responsible for the creation of the AI that damned them, reduced to a simple minded idiot because of the tampering of that AI? Am I not supposed to think of Nimdok? The N@zi scientist turned oaf?? What about how Kinger’s “evil persona” is a dictator who saluted? Does that not mean anything??

Gooseworx’s misogyny isn’t just some quirky edgy phase that she’s stuck in. It’s a mindset that infantilizes and protects abusers and all those that would do others harm. No matter what, the narrative always provides an excuse.

Why didn’t any of the cast react negatively towards Kinger’s admission of creating Caine? Why did Kinger not once try to help them from his pillow fort, a place that’s been established for years to have kept him sane? Why didn’t he intervene to stop Jax from terrorizing literally everyone else in the circus? This questioning of course ties into one of the larger issues with the show’s writing which is that it absolutely hates having difficult conversations, but it certainly escalates into a serious moral dilemma at this point.

I'm white, I know what an "edgy joke between friends" is code for : racism and misogyny. And they fucking hate when you point out that it's racist/misogynistic. No, it's just jokes, just "edgy" jokes between (white and/or male) friends. (Btw, I'm not calling gooseworx a man, she is a woman, I'm talking about a phenomena at large. Also, some people have spoken about their experiences in being accepted as "one of the bros" in a mostly male friend group, and so they were subjected to the misogynistic jokes that would not have been said, so even being a woman doesn't mean the "edgy jokes" aren't misogynistic). And if you dare call it out for what it is, you are "too political", "too woke", you are ruining the fun. They cannot hear us, so why are you not laughing? Why are you being a pain in the ass? My whole life, it has been this song and dance.

And the thing here is that she is admitting that what she calls "horrible edgy jokes" are racists. Someone literally asked her "Hey, we aren't going to learn that you tell VERY racist jokes behind doors?" and she answered with "I'm not going to lie and pretend I don't.", she just switched the adjective "racist" for "edgy", because we are between white people here (sure, it's a public post, but the question she asked is for white people. She is asking other white people if they also male racist jokes, so she can feel better about doing it too.), don't call it racism! It could make her look bad! She sees why people would not get the humor in it, because it racist, but that's why she only tells them to her audience of white friends that will not call her out.

It was real when y’all dressed up in cosplays, and made fan art, and went to conventions, and got to interact with your faves through their social platforms…but suddenly when bigotry is involved, it’s not that big of a deal.

Let me rephrase what y’all are trying to say: POC don’t get to have fandom. We don’t get to have media. That part of the real world is something we’re not allowed to touch. It’s the one space that discrimination and prejudice will always thrive, because you refuse to acknowledge the layers of racism for what they are.
