Will they look back with appreciation and say, "Thank God for that Ott guy in 2014 who headed off that loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our genre from selling out"?
And if we failed, they probably won't get to read the tweets at all because they spoke of indie rock, and they won't be allowed to talk of that or read of it.

i mean, the narrative that the pitchfork piece is putting out is basically "dude was an aspiring money-hungry L.A. session dude who failed, and now, two years later, wants to be indie rock I guess"
Like idgaf about this guy, but can you blame ott for not seeing this as the sympathetic story of rags-to-RSSches it's supposed to be, idk?

i dunno, what kind of background does he need to be a real indie-rocker?

he would've tried to cover his tracks if he wanted to be a REAL INDIE ROCKER. the dude is putting himself out there. that doesn't warrant comments about his dead mom as sort of ponzi scheme for success

exactly, and ott wouldn't even bother to mock this dude if he hadn't been sitting angrily in front his comp looking at p4k for hours, probably drinking, hitting refresh refresh refresh, looking for something, anything to hate

Ott's thinking is in keeping with the Gamergate "righteous troll" approach - any amount of misanthropy, bullying and general obnoxiousness is valid if you believe yourself a warrior for a noble cause.

had a bit of rum last night and dropped a tiny bit of sarcasm on him via twitter. he tried to zing me back by saying "nice fucking hair, food truck," then asserted I was one of his "disgruntled fan" twitter followers (I wasn't, oddly he followed me after I ripped him subtly on a previous occasion that could've only been read as a serious compliment if you're an idiot)
― just a couple of assholes having breakfast (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 12:56 (nine years ago) link
I honestly think he doesn't know or understand (or want to believe) that the people who are mocking him aren't doing so cause their brains are breaking due to his message, but because his message is naive bullshit expressed in a shitty hateful manner

The thing is that at a certain time of night Chris sees everyone as a food truck or a hamburger or a delicious cooked turkey.

I mean, I just think he's a funny internet personality and it's really befuddling watching a bunch of people who post all day to a zing-centric, belly-button-gazing, nit-picky, narc-of-small-diff music, corny-indie-fuxx-hating message board clown a guy for "caring" and being a meanie to indie rock personalities.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link
also i said this initially before he even replied to me, stemming from the issue that renewed our interest in ott-trollinghttps://twitter.com/liamchgreen/status/542520243961094145
immature on my part to stoop to his level, obvs, but i was really annoyed, and as stated previously, rum.
― just a couple of assholes having breakfast (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 15:28 (nine years ago) link
i think ott is a total dick but tbh i am happy he exists, he is hilarious and those videos he used to do are tremendous

sloth, you've really never eaten at a food truck?

Whiney's right that the pious zingery of an ilxor isn't far removed from a self-righteous twitter troll.
Lol at trying to defend ott by bringing that up though

also don't quite understand how that works as a zing about "hipsters" unless he thinks clover represents all food trucks

but when ott goes on his true indie ad-free music journo crusades he overwhelmingly targets women which imo is gross and fuck him

WHY can you people not ignore this clown? i am sure that no one outside this thread gives a fuck so you are probably the only people keeping him alive

Yeah I always understood that as the reason ilx gets upset not because he in general carries himself like the ilx strawman

― Evan, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 16:03 (nine years ago) link
It's just silly to say "hey ilx you give him shit when he's just like one of you" as if ilx isn't happy to give shit to its own when they get ott-ish as well.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 16:11 (nine years ago) link
also i feel like ilx doesn't care enough to get fired up about corny indie bullshit anymore. i could be way off there but it seems like those battles were fought long ago. though i guess the pitcfork is dumb thread still gets plenty of action. also i've kind of avoid the year end critics poll thread
