BACK TO FAWKIN OBSCURITY WITH YOU: When Dan became Anthony AND Opie (and maybe even Norton)

[UnPRePared]

I wish I had more time to make this an investigative writing initiative like our friend Thomas Apostle succeeds at doing, but time isn't on my side with such an endeavor.

I'm a fairly successful musician in Europe, I'm busy. No, I'm not David Hasselhoff.

I've been thinking over the rise and fall (and rise again?) of Dan's podcast for the Brothermen, and the parallels to O&A are just too hard to ignore. By the end of it all, Dan became a strange amalgamation of the worst qualities of Opester with a bit of Nana sprinkled in.

The first thing is the sensitivity. The hard and fast rule of this place is to roll with the bit, or you won't last. When the newness of the podcast had faded, and probably around his first real criticisms, Dan was giving strong Opie vibes of defense. I even remember some of you fellas thinking it was a bit (I'm on my third Krupnik, the why you're even getting this post, you're welcome), but it didn't stop there.

Then we had the Boomia Bomb-Threat Blow-Up, and Dan, channeling Opie once again like an Exorcist, demanded @covidcumia to apologize to the Forums, Quasi, AND himself. I flashed back to Opie scolding Erock when he said "We're going to talk off the air about this."

Really needed him that day, huh?

There's numerous examples of this kind of shit, specifically the bait and switch, the mindless self-importance with the GPA reveal, and then speaking over the stream. Most of the selfish behavior hit Opie levels of ignorance, but when the emotion was really bleeding through, I could hear Nana whispering "I'm still hilarious". Not to mention thinking he was funnier than he really was, and a better broadcaster than he really was, also reeks of Anthony.

All that being stated, I still don't hate Dan. This was an interesting experiment of his, and like most experiments, it ended in failure. Any of you lads would be crazy to take up a podcast and try to improve on where Dan left off, but I credit and support you if you try. Just learn to laugh at yourself unlike he did, and maybe you won't become a lifelong inside joke.

This post was brought to you by alcohol and a lovely homemade early dinner by my gal Mal.

Oh wait, I also mentioned he was like Norton... He kinda looks like him in the face, that sort of self-hating egg whites with mustard bloat.


... I'm so sorry, Dan.

Lotta words right there

100% co-sign...same trajectory for me...I felt the boomia apology was where I should have realized this is not going to end well. And like you, still don't hate Dan. Miss him now actually.

I thought the Boomia apology was a bit.
I thought sharing DMs was a bit.
I thought the freaking out on brothermen who came on the podcast (e.g. @NortheastPhilly) was a bit.
I thought A LOT of his (over)reactions were bits (esp when he blew up at KF for wanting whatever he was dangling in front of them at the time).
Clumsy, awkward, bordering on douche chills. But still, they were bits.
So I thought.
We don't want to believe that we've been so wrong about a person.

Honestly, no one was given more of the benefit of the doubt than ole Danny boy. He was fixing a few things though, I'll give him credit where due. His last one with Bam and co he kept it shorter after being criticized they were getting too long.

Fucking hell, I forgot the DM sharing! That was such a Cumia move.

Do you think he fucked Sue Lightning too? You know, for the goof?

 

[UnPRePared]

I just realized something... He sounds like Sam. His voice has Sam's tone and cadence.

How could someone be so much like those assholes and yet know so little about that show?

You forgot the part where he threw his well-wishers and supposed friends under the bus by sharing their private messages (one containing their doxx) "for the bit" because he was being pounded by The Alliance.

It appeared he felt cornered because he was getting criticized by them for selectively showing DMs that only made Alliance members look hypocritical. They weren't even being hypocritical. They, like most everyone else, really did enjoy the podcast at first. Their criticisms came later.

Not wanting to appear biased, Dan then tossed even his good friends under the bus (me included) when we never even attacked the guy. The problem with that, sweetie, is you burned everyone's bridge and lost our trust forever.

You broke my heart, Fredo Mullen.

Oh... Hai finito? Beh, mi permetta di replicare... Pubblica i tuoi dati di contatto così possiamo citarti per diffamazione.
Oh, cosa? Non potete farlo? Perché no? Sono sicuro che lei ha ampie prove a sostegno delle sue ridicole e false accuse di misoginia, di presunti atti di razzismo, di accuse legali di pedofilia e di tutte le altre stronzate che vengono usate dai millennial come lei, che senza alcuna coscienza lanciano queste parole, un tempo molto potenti, al solo scopo di avere il sopravvento e il sostegno pubblico dei suoi elettori ogni volta che viene coinvolto in un alterco. Il problema è che la maggior parte delle persone ha difficoltà a credere agli utenti anonimi di un sito noto per l'uso di queste tattiche nel tentativo di danneggiare la reputazione e interferire con il diritto alla vita, alla libertà e alla ricerca della felicità (suona vagamente familiare?).
Lo scopo principale del vostro sub è guidato dall'invidia, dalla gelosia, dal fallimento, dall'assenza di uno scopo nella vostra vita e dal desiderio di essere importanti tra i vostri amici altrettanto disfunzionali sulla vostra piattaforma in continua diminuzione. Ora sono diventati i subreddit legati a Opie e Anthony che si restringono magicamente. Ottima mossa non usare un nome legato a O&A.
Ora siete costantemente in crisi e per buone e sane ragioni... Il bene trionferà sempre sul male. Continua a leggere:
Ciò che questo poster non ha menzionato è che ogni singolo DMCA che è stato depositato da me, sia da solo che con l'autorizzazione legale di altri che desiderano avere il tempo e l'energia per farlo, sono completamente e totalmente legittimi e legali. Non c'è nulla di falso o illegale nei DMCA che ho presentato. Tutte le foto e i video presenti su Internet sono stati scattati da qualcuno, quindi qualcuno detiene il copyright di ogni singola foto e video. Sono scrupoloso nella mia archiviazione. Il sub ha troppi membri ignoranti che non ascoltano i moderatori più logici e si astengono dal postare foto e video che sono segnalabili. Sono accecati dal desiderio di avere i loro 15 minuti e soprattutto dal loro odio reale e palpabile.
Reddit ha troppo da perdere e non prenderà mai la posizione di un forum del tipo "Kiwi Farms" che alcuni individui sociopatici gestiscono a casa delle loro mamme. Stanno facendo l'unica cosa possibile, eliminando i contenuti illegali. Se e quando l'ufficio legale di Reddit riceve un numero sufficiente di DMCA legittimi, chiude il sub. È davvero così semplice. Quindi, per Johnny Cakes, Frunkass, e l'altra dozzina di sociopatici che succhiano via tutto il divertimento da ciò che un subreddit dovrebbe essere... e fantasticano su una causa contro di me.... Ho una
parola... SUBPOENA. Smettetela.
Negli ultimi mesi ho presentato un centinaio di DMCA legittimi, dichiaratamente con l'unica intenzione di far bandire i subreddit legati a Opie e Anthony. Si sono dedicati alla diffamazione, alle molestie e al vero e proprio bullismo dentro e fuori la sub. Non solo insulti e prese in giro. Non me ne può fregare di meno. Il loro anonimato è ciò che li autorizza a postare contenuti calunniosi e diffamatori. Se non fosse per l'anonimato, che credo sia la ragione per cui non hanno presentato una sola controdenuncia, si ritroverebbero in tribunale ad affrontare un gran numero di cause per diffamazione e calunnia da parte di molte delle loro "vittime".
C'è uno schema ricorrente che li vede usare la mia proprietà intellettuale come illustrazione per accompagnare le loro ridicole accuse di pedofilia (tipicamente), misoginia, antisemitismo, omosessualità ecc. nei confronti della mia famiglia, dei miei amici e di me stesso. Hanno l'abitudine di usare la proprietà intellettuale di altri individui per diffondere il loro abissale messaggio di odio e diffamazione.
Quindi, ancora una volta, non c'è nulla di illegale in nessuno dei DMCA che ho presentato. Farlo sarebbe un grave errore da parte mia. Sto ottenendo i risultati desiderati rispettando le regole. Perché metterlo a repentaglio? RICORDA: Questo soggetto si è spinto fino a brigare e a fare il prepotente con i miei datori di lavoro fino al punto di farmi lasciare alcuni lavori, tutto in nome del "divertimento nel prendersela con i vecchi". Questa è l'unica ragione che hanno addotto per il loro atroce comportamento. Questo sub brigatista è arrivato al punto di intimidire i locali, le agenzie e altre persone dell'industria dell'intrattenimento per evitarmi, utilizzando dozzine di e-mail e telefonate anonime... molte delle quali utilizzano i nomi di ospiti, membri dello show e amici di Opie and Anthony del passato per cercare di attirare la mia attenzione e aggravare la situazione.
Questo particolare sub, composto principalmente da millennial invidiosi, ama ribadire il fatto che ho 60 anni e sono in gran parte in pensione (secondo il sub "70 anni e sono vicino alla morte") e che ho un flusso di reddito grazie agli affari con mio fratello. A loro piace chiamarlo "welfare" e si prendono continuamente gioco del fatto che ho un reddito che non ho lavorato. Mi chiamano "sanguisuga". Non capisco perché lo facciano. Oltre al fatto che pensano che io sia un fannullone, si impegnano molto per togliere il mio lavoro (che loro chiamano hobby) a me e ai membri del mio gruppo.

I didn't like when he shared mine, but at least my message was innocuous.

Stu, though. I know the rumor is that Stu is a Jew but that doesn't matter. What he did to Stu was like something Patrick would do to one of his supporters that he was upset with. No need.

You did get him to remove the Stu pic and that's because he was a simp. He didn't object when I pointed it out.

Between that and PCJ, he deserves the current beating he's getting.

But did he really throw anyone under the bus other than Stu? I think he realized he went too far with that one because he did delete it. His messages with you - that was just him fucking around I felt.


I think his whole scorched-earth thing was supposed to be funny(?) or exciting(?) but just pissed people off.

Let's not forget the gift card only given to Bam.

That was only revealed after he was expelled from our community. But let's not forget.

Listen we say a lot of harsh shit on here, but there's no call for that.

 

[Harry Powell]

I dont mind that. He didn’t try to pathetically bang her or get nudes to my knowledge.
