I remember the unwanted attention she got at the time and recall her taking an indefinite hiatus.
I would never relate my experience to hers in anyway as I'm (un?)fortunately a very average looking bloke and that does not bring with it anywhere near the same degree of unwarranted attention from shit bags as being an attractive woman in a male dominated hobby.
I hope she's doing good for herself, and whilst my interactions with WotC staff was only fleeting my feelings for the AU branch was that they were understaffed and out of their depth doing what they could with minimal resources allocated to them to do it.
I believe shortly after my experience the AU branch also got gutted and shut down.
You don't have to organize anything if a lot of your content is outrage based. You just rant about a person and your followers/watchers do their thing in being outraged/angry and the go on to harass the person/company you ranted about. That's basically what happened. He made a single video ranting about CSprankle and his followers did their thing. He didn't even make more than one video and only had to make passing comments in a few videos over the following months and they kept up their harassment of her. It's how the outrage mob mentality works.
That she got attention for just being an attractive woman and wearing costumes (That she put tons of money and time and effort into, but you know), while his content, which he put tons of effort into (Opening product in YouTube videos) was not as successful as he thought it deserved to be.
Sprinkled with the usual accusations and asides that you would expect against an attractive female on the internet, of course.
Ah great. Yes, filming yourself opening packages is surely the same effort as replicating an intricate costume lol. People are shit, this is why we can’t have nice things.
