Also a big fan of all of those guys, and pretty much all of the old Cracked crew and their podcasts, he pops in on all of them. He also regularly does a podcast with the Dog Zone guys called Bigfeets where they talk about every episode of Mountain Monsters and it is one of my favorite things that has ever happened.

At this point I’m alright with a nuclear apocalypse, we had it coming. I just hope I’m close enough to a blast sight to not have to deal with the aftermath.

Well… yeah.

Thanks, I needed this.

John Dies At The End was his first book and where I started. It’s also neat to watch his writing style evolve. I’d say John Dies or Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, those are the first books for his two ongoing series, if you’re feeling more into horror or sci-fi.

What podcasts? Are you a Dog Zone 9000 fan by chance?

Two things can be true.

Also.

Read into the guy if you’re so fucking concerned and I’m so fucking dishonest. Cunts like you are why I’m two seconds away from being done with this stupid site.

You didn’t need to write that, everyone already knew you were a douche.

“Am I or am I not pregnant?”

Test: “Something like that, yeah.”

Thats a really cool concept, thanks for the rec, I’ll check them out.

He wasn’t pretending to be asian, though, the book John Dies at The End makes that very clear and gives a silly in universe reason for the now dead pseudonym. It really was not problematic, even at the time of it being used.

Why did they hide them, then?

There really are no wrong answers. The JDATE books are cosmic reality bending lovecraftian horror, and the Zoey books are a Bladerunner-esque sci-fi about a future you can see from here. The first thing i read of his was John Dies At The End, and I think that is a really good place to start.

Fuck you.

Do you think they had a valid and good reason to hide 800 dead babies in a septic tank?

…But, why did you watch the whole thing?

If he was still using the pseudonym and making excuses to keep using it, sure, but I’m of the opinion that once someone understands what they have done wrong and took the opportunity to learn from it and do better there is no more wrong doing. There are, of course, exceptions to this, but a pseudonym that someone came up with in their 20’s and had the wherewithal later to say, “That’s not ok, I need to stop doing that” and stopped doing that for the right reasons is pretty far from a reason to call them problematic, especially when it wasn’t a decision made under any form of duress and he has made no attempt at defending his choice to have used that pseudonym and stated it was not ok for him to have used that pseudonym.

Edit: Also, it was used in a narrative context of the main character trying to throw off his identity, if They’re looking for David Wong then they wouldn’t assume it’s the burnt out white dude.

He stopped using it for that very reason, and took accountability. People are allowed to self correct, if he understands the problem with what he did and course corrected without being called out for it what would throwing more stones accomplish?

Edit: Also, not a big enough deal to say you shouldn’t read his books. Especially considering the narrative reason as to why he was using it.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.
