People like her are absolutely addicted to Twitter, and perform the whole "cut off completely" if anyone so much as gets a toe out of line.

Not 5 hours before she posted her quitting post she was demanding some dude acknowledge he had made a random video with a "problematic person," delete it and apologize. She was still cancelling as she went down.

OMG, that was a fascist misogynist racist and anti dragon tweet. I'm literally shaking.

Fuck them, let them eat their own.

Does it make me a bad person from a religious point of view to be happy that the left is turning on their own. It always seems to put me in a great mood.

It's not just the one tweet, she has to prescreen every single word she types, in case it offends someone. That's the mental toll killing her on the inside.

This is exactly the reward she deserves for willingly surrounding herself with the type of person who would try to destroy someone's life for saying "this cartoon is kind of like this other cartoon".

Leftists are usually too retarded to understand the categorical imperative, but Ellis isn't quite that retarded. She's one of the self-aware grifters using the mob for money and power. Now that it's being aimed at her, she's bailing because there is no defense that leaves you a Liftist in Good Standing and she knows it.

Sark has literal institutional power. She spoke to the UN, gets paid to give conferences and has a lot of major game devs in her pocket, or at least did at her peak. She is a lot more entrenched than Ellis the Youtuber ever was.

Good. She can get fucked all the way to the loony bin. I'd even laugh at some of her retarded incoherent takes about "capitalist capitalism of systematic capitalistisms" she just keeps puling out of her ass.

muh toxic

Oh really? The insane communist struggle session administrators? What gave that one out? Such a completely disconnected set of circumstances. I couldn't have guessed from when they happily socially persecuted everyone right of mao for 6 years, this is complete news to me.

Also "toxic" is a faggy word, find something less soy.

I know that I personally "got got" because I called out a supposedly famous woman for being an idiot on a political chat show (that's a thing, here...).

She and her fucking "flying monkeys" literally doxxed me and chased me off Twitter. And then tried to fuck with me outside of the Twitterverse. Was fun times... Learned the hard way. Nasty piece of work, that one...

Nakkiah Lui, for the curious...

Many of us are here because we said "No" to the wrong woman or just didn't see what was the big deal about Depression Quest and their simps came at us.

Nah, if you’re not Aussie/Kiwi, you probably won’t have…

“Aboriginal” “comedienne/actress”…

Obese, pasty fucking misandrist pig. Nasty piece of work…

Gets away with it because she is a “powerful blaK woman”, lol…

She’s (MUCH) whiter than me (and of course much fatter. I’m sure her “ancestors” would be so proud 🙄), tho!! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

It’s been a few years, but basically…

“You’re a racist who can’t handle a strong, powerful Indigenous QWEen/WAHMEN!”

And then it became personal attacks going through anything I had posted in the past, my bio, my photos, etc, etc…

That’s when the doxing started, and shit got real… 😑

And she still whines and cries about those evil straight white men. Always so close, yet so far from becoming a self-aware human being.

The good, progressive cis, straight, wealthy white men keep on trucking and coming out on top because deep down, they know the systems they profess to stand against ultimately exist to benefit them.

No, you stupid, fat fuck. The reason they keep on trucking is because they didn't let some mean things complete strangers said about them online bring them down. Somewhere along the way, they realized that shit doesn't matter and learned how to safely ignore it. Something you could have if your parents looked you in the eye and said "No" just once in your spoiled rotten life. Of course, you're only playing attention to the ones who are still around, all the while ignoring the legions who also wilted and the many more who were banned for wrongthink and wrongidentity. Often courtesy of you.

I literally cannot understand what is remotely objectionable to her Raya/Avatar The Last Airbender tweet.

How sick in the head do you have to be to imagine offense at that?

At worst it's incomplete: "YA is full of shows that emulate Avatar the Last Airbender but the copy is imperfect, and they left out what made ATLA great."

She cultivated the monster that ate her.

Ironic as she could have literally just not responded and ignored the accusations.

She was asking what the name of the beast was that gripped people like her in fear, and made them afraid to speak because of one wrong move.

Lindsay, the name of the beast is: "Lyncherdom"

I actually think it's less about being chased off YouTube by crazy leftists and more about continuing to be a YouTuber is beneath her now that she is a published author.

She published a shitty science fiction novel last year than achieved moderate success. It was obviously a longstanding dream finally realized.

The first thing she did when she announced her new novel was to make private her entire back catalogue of Nostalgia Chick videos from her Channel Awesome days because she was ashamed of them and didn't want to any of her less-woke commentary to fuck things up.

She's obviously now lost her passion for making woke videos too, but has 9000 Patriots supporters funneling her 20k a month (who have more or less been paying her to write her novels btw).

So she’s quitting YT, but leaving the Patreon open with no plans to produce anymore content.

I believe at least part of the sudden pity party is to manipuoate her moronic supporters to keep paying her a monthly stipend because "my mental health is so bad right now" while she fucks off and continues writing novels like she wants to do.

A self-important twat from twitter, known only for being Nostalgia Crotic with tits (and that hotdogs in the face animated gif) is getting railed on twitter because she didn't express Approved Opinion (TM).
