Ozmasters, The MOTU General Discussion Thread.

[Robzy]

this is what I got from the org today:

Seriously, what a joke! The only thing you can take from it is that you knew it was coming... they're so predictable. The "moderhaters" (as TheFallen calls them ) are getting bagged on just about every toy news site for being trigger-happy!

It seems that I pushed the political incorrect truth about Scott's/Mattel's practices a bit too hard and perhaps the fact that I had people supporting what I was saying provoked it further so...

So true. Banning you for what you wrote is astonishing Talk about 'silencing trouble makers'. It's particularly remarkable when you consider this was one of the posts made over there about you...

I've stayed away from the discussion forums here for several years, and I've debated back and forth recently over whether to post again. Posting in message boards such as this is generally a lost cause, but I feel compelled as of late by EtherianChronicles, Robzy, and Kup's posts. I feel that they've hit the nail on the head, and I wholeheartedly agree, except for one thing. Scott is no super fan, and I feel that he is a "toy guru" in name only.

It's pretty rich when Pixel-Dan calls for less passionate responses from people... the guy is a human fireworks display on NYE. I've never seen anyone with so much passion except for Big Kev...



I think a lot of the Matty Apologists are frightened... not only frightened of the truth, but more terrified that other people who once supported Scott and Co are now seeing his true colours.

Scott is not the community Manager, he is the Brand Manager. He is completely in charge of managing the Matty toy lines. He actually has a lot of control on how the line is handled, characters chosen, fiction, etc, etc hence why there is so much hatred against him given the latest debacle. It is literally his fault for mis-managing the line.

Maybe he's "out of control" But yeah, he's the guy who is responsible for everything. He's not a PR Manager or a "Fan Liason"... he's a Brand Manager who now thinks he's a celebrity in the toy world!

If he did not have so much control, there wouldn't be so many self indulgences in the line (which customers had to pay for). His worst crime in this indulgence is changing the so called '30th anniversary line' into a vehicle for him to release his own fan character without any regards to the history of the brand or the customers forced to buy his stupid ego figure.

All he could ask yesterday was...

Do I get any credit?
