Thoughts on the EZ PZ Situation

Either this or EZ's thumbnail for the video in question.

To give you a refresher, a former member of the animation industry recently took part in an interview with YouTuber EZ PZ. Given that the guy's an active critic of the animation community, EZ had no reservations in talking about the more... lurid details. Those include Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch fucking a shit ton of women, general hiring procedures that amount to head creators hiring personal friends and something about a women's union that has a connection to some cartoon created by a streaming service. The video is down below.

I watched the video, and I'll admit, I gave it a like. I always anticipate hearing some interesting gossip, mostly because I'm hungry for validation in my ridiculous opinions. There was an obvious red flag in the video, where we just had to take everything EZ presented at face value, which I could accept, had it not been for the fact that damning allegations were presented. EZ needs to take some tips from Mister Metokur, he brings up damning info in his lolcow exposes, but he more often than not provides evidence to prove it, and if he can't, he tells his viewers outright.

A few days later, after watching a video discussing Turkey Tom, I was directed to a trailer for a video by the same user. Given the title, I figured the video would be in agreement with EZ PZ and would be an expose on Alex Hirsch, but that turned out to be bullshit. So far, two people have responded to EZ PZ's video, to my knowledge.

Once you get past the "Evidence fucker" mentality, you'd be shocked to find that info presented against the blacklisted individual is far more shocking, shocking in that it's backed by facts.

The guy in question, Luke Weber, accused Alex Hirsch of sleeping with and giving various women STDs. Apparently, Weber wound up losing a girl he had a crush on to Hirsch and you could see where this is heading. He also got fired from Steven Universe due to him drawing a comic where he and Pearl fuck (at least he didn't want to fuck Rebecca Sugar, but that's beyond the point.), then there's the fact that he's allegedly schizophrenic, and people found it hard to work with him (especially since the animation industry is reliant on large numbered groups). The fact that this made a lot more sense than the allegations Weber brought up really says numbers.

Seems as though Weber wasn't blacklisted, people just didn't want to be anywhere near him. If he was blacklisted, why would he want to be anonymous (unless it was to avoid potential harassment)? He'd have nothing to lose in giving this information out, and any harassment would validate his points. I say this because I know of people who were blacklisted who spoke out and haven't been hunted to death. First, James Woods, Hollywood wants little to do with him because of his ultra conservative views and Trump support. For a while, that didn't stop him from posting pro-Trump stuff on his Twitter (until he got suspended for it), nor did it stop him from getting some television roles here and there. There's also Jon Voight, a straighter arrow than Woods, he made it no secret he got blacklisted and even did an interview (on Fox News, but that's beyond the point), full body and all.

Now this leaves another question, why the hell would EZ take what the guy said at face value, at least enough to make a video out of it? Well, given his backlog of videos related to cartoons, I think he was seeking validation for hating certain shows. It's no secret EZ is not a big fan of Steven Universe (I'm not either), so when Weber brought up stuff related to the show, a lightbulb went off in his head and he pounced on the news, hoping to get more people on his side and validate negative opinions he has on the animation community. As a consequence, we got allegations that's so egregious that Christine Blasey Ford would've used them on Bret Kavanaugh.

EZ PZ is the kind of person who views anything damning as a golden opportunity to push a personal narrative. He's the same guy who was so desperate to get dirt on Enter he considered doxing him for some juicy details.

Where do I stand on everyone else involved? If the allegations would've been true, if the sexual encounters were consensual, there wouldn't be an issue. The way Weber went about the whole thing seems more like a revenge fantasy for someone who got his date shafted by a more popular guy, with the lesser man envisioning his one-sided rival as an embellished womanizer, and that Weber is, internet wise, a "nice guy."

To sum up everything. EZ PZ, you're obviously hungry for credible dirt against the animation community, Weber, you're probably an incel in the making, Alex Hirsch, since Gravity Falls ended, its fandom hasn't become as toxic as other shows so I have nothing against you. Guy who made that second video I linked, I... guess you're better than EZ PZ?
