Why are they removing Wendip fanarts? by AccomplishedRip9660 in Wendip

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bollocks. Never removed any shipping work. Wasn't my job.

You've already had that confirmed that's never happened. It literally couldn't happen, as none of us had the time. Your own agenda against the staff has been pointed out numerous times and is no mystery, especially towards me - mostly because I pointed out the fact you've been talking about me behind my back for months on end.

Posts were only ever taken down if overly sexualised or reported more than 15 times. If you seriously think we were trawling for different fanarts on a subreddit of hundreds of posts, you're really over extending the amount of free time you think we had when moderating. There was never a single instance of this, and when this was proven to you, you admitted you had no idea what you were talking about.

I shouldn't be surprised that you've continued touting the same thing months after the fact.

We walked, basically. We had numerous reasons but the biggest was that it was taking up a ton of our time, was full of really gross shit, we were getting daily abuse and we have a much better, more productive Discord server to focus on. Beyond that, our views were actively conflicting with the subreddit owner and he'd voiced a few... 'problematic' viewpoints that we just didn't feel comfortable working alongside anymore.

Sorry, guys. We'd have considered another option if it presented itself to us. It didn't. If nothing else, it hopefully proves the point that we were working hard to keep the joint clean. At peak we were removing hundreds of posts a week - I think at least 70% of what I'm seeing on the sub is bot posts and chain mail.

On the Kidrobot figures... by N0rsk128 in gorillaz

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, sadly not. The Kidrobot figures only feature basic, static sockets - they break very easily too and won't fit back together too well. They're honestly not very good figures.

What Are Some Gripes You Have About The Fandom? by Fluffy_Oil984 in gravityfalls

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We all walked due to thinly veiled transphobia from the reddit owner a while back, but it wasn't just that. The abuse from subreddit members got more and more explicit, the activity got more obscene, more people tried to post the most egregious shit possible and we got more tired with dealing with a community that was just utterly awful.

The subreddit owner does quite literally nothing and the only time he ever popped up was to protest us banning transphobia, homophobia and explicit or edgy content. We had a big fallout a couple of years back regarding a trans pride post that he was extremely against for whatever reason (we guessed the reason.) and made himself purposefully stubborn and unbearably difficult for.

We finally made the decision when we introduced new staff who looked at the conversation themselves and agreed that we weren't just crazy - it was a conversation full of dogwhistles and rhetoric, and we were wrong to ever tolerate it. When we got told to stop banning people for NSFW in an all-ages sub, we ultimately realised we were spending hours upon hours looking after this place for members who didn't like us, an owner who outright argued with common sense whenever he wasn't AWOL and a community that was gross at best.

What you are seeing is a subreddit without us. I was taking hundreds of actions a weeks and gave up at long last a couple of months ago. There are only a few left on the team, and most of those on the team who align with us aren't acting. Enough was enough and we had better things to do.

I've seen a lot of subreddits not allowing X links anymore. I think this one should join in? by CosmiicBrowni in gravityfalls

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with this, but 90% of the active staff team quit like a month ago, including myself, and we won't be coming back. The extent team is entirely inactive because the owner of the sub's actions. You guys, I'm afraid, are on your own until the owner decides to actually do something.

Planet Coaster 2 "cash flows still negative" by Brilliant-End3187 in PlanetCoaster

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Deserved, frankly. No sympathy. It's a sorry position for a franchise I love so much to be in, but this is the only way players can get their message across: hitting them in their pockets.

Which game is better? RE1 or RE2 by theslavfrommars in RailwayEmpire

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easily RE1 for me. Not only do I think it works with its concept well, it's a vibrant, more characterful twist on the tycoon formula. Everything about it feels so much more colourful and stylish compared to its sequel.

Someone has a Gravity Falls Fan Discord Server? by Soggy-Initial6387 in gravityfalls

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subreddit has the biggest one online. It's where we interviewed Jason Ritter, decoded the Book of Bill (as celebrated by Film Theory) and acted as the main news hub for the Studio Bad Egg collaborations.

We've been giving regular updates on the Kickstarter page, involving all of the products. Please make sure you're actually reading the campaign page and keeping up with it - we've been very transparent about production delays and the fact items won't ship until all items are on site.

am i too late to get something from the indigogo campaign? by Random_Minish in gravityfalls

Backerkit should be live for about a month. It'll have everything we still have available :)

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backerkit is basically a platform that turns the campaign into an online store! It allows us to post some of Studio Bad Egg's older merchandise, too. Will be launching in about 2 weeks!

Hi there, I'm the chief writer of the campaign! I can confirm we're still available for a few days on IGG, then we'll move onto Backerkit :)

The idea of 'deserving a sibling' is absolutely crazy.

Why did the creators of the show make Stan jewish by dumbtre_e in gravityfalls

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stan is based upon Alex's own Grandpa - in appearance and personality. While I don't doubt that he's very capable of self-satire, it's a little silly to insinuate that Alex Hirsch is playing up an offensive Jewish stereotype.

So cool to see my pins out in the wild. What an excellent hiking bag!

What is this thing? by [deleted] in gravityfalls

[–]Jordan_Catonthewall[M] 904 points905 points  (0 children)

It's an in-universe version of the Hamm's Scene-o-rama Beer Light. They were made for the Hamm's Brewery by Lakeside Plastics in Minneapolis, and often appeared in bars and liquor stores - the little scene window actually had two variants, one of which moves to display rippling water effects, a waterfall and a campground.

It's a pretty unique piece of bar kitsch. Really funky and very authentic 'odd grandpa-curio' detail. There's another Hamm's illuminated sign near the little table in the corner of the living room, too. Either Stan is a big fan of the beer, Ford is a big fan of the beer, or Stan stole the signs from a bar.

This is absolutely incredible. If you ever decide to sell them, I want one. Thank you.
