Sessler is showing himself to be quite the bigot in his tweet. Classist, racist, entitled, smug, intolerant... Pretty disgusting really. It's ironic seeing as he's a Democrat which suggests he should be above this.
He is definitely tolerable in the older g4, then on youtube he gradually went this route.
Yuck

Good riddence. Contemporary gaming "journalism" has had a negative impact on the quality of gaming writing.
I knew nothing about this Frosk chick and i might have remotely heard G4 came back.
I don't know when exactly these shows started but I was probably around 20 or so when I first remember watching stuff like X Play and it was always cringe and I never particularly cared for it. It was cliche gamer nerd humor and was like watching those terrible video game award shows. The Sessler Webb days were ok for the fact that that's back when you needed to look a t magazines and get E3 DVDs to see anything and you could catch a review. The shows siits and humor were cringe and lame though.
That Attack of the show with Piera and Munn was some of the shittiest tv I've ever watched. I had a friend who watched it every night and i wanted to piss on his tv whenever I walked in.

That was a very fast fail. It seems like they spent more time announcing "the return of G4" than they did actually broadcasting.
I enjoyed the original G4 -- mostly because it was the only option at the time. This reboot was doomed from the get-go, because, as others have pointed out, there are thousands of Youtube creators making better, individualized content without any of the huge overhead. It would've failed eventually. Frosk et al. hurried it along, though.

Why did they go back to cable TV? Cable TV is a dying medium. They should’ve gone full-on digital/ subscription.

Sessler and Frosk
Frosk, perhaps. She doesn't deserve the horrible attention given due to her looks, most of the people criticizing her over that shit are probably fugly themselves. She totally deserves to be roasted for dropping judgemental rants on her own audience, feeding the trolls. The worst thing you can do as a host or an internet personality. A lot of people didn't know who the fuck she was until weeks after it happened, and she is now falling back into obscurity and irrelevance. G4 itself could have fucked off into oblivion without any of this drama. None of them were talent worth watching, and they were up against modern Youtube content. Obsolete platform reboot with no hope of success from the start.
Sessler's need for attention is harder to grasp an understanding of here. He is loaded with some cash since his co-founded startup was bought by Reddit. We now seemingly get to witness the hubris of a wealthy, self-important, smug piece of shit stereotype as he looks down on others, and takes his self righteous opinions to twitter. Broadcasting his ironically toxic shit in a juvenile way, since he can afford to. Completely up his own ass, quipping about writers and leaning on his big-brain fart sniffing literature-student persona; clowning with generalizations of different states or regions of the USA because that's where his political enemies win in their elections, shitting on his own "fans" from those regions in the process. It's absurd.
His attention seeking, if you can call it that, looks more like a cry for help to people who have themselves known and seen what becomes of mentally unstable substance abusers. He's seemingly trolling against the low-hanging fruit that mocks him, blaming the headache of it all on G4, and it makes you wonder whether he's sniffling and shaking somewhere between his outbursts.
He's being a huge dickhead that probably needs rehab more than a twitter account. I'm not American, but I would bet on the timing of this layoff & tirade, that he's staring into the woke abyss in his own head, fully animated. Grinding his teeth, rocking back and forth, scratching himself, throwing whatever sober energy he has left into thinking too much about the possibility of a political shift next month.
I could be totally wrong, though. I'm just a constantly unserious fucktard, and a bit of a dickhead myself.

This is what happens when you use woke fanbait tactics to sell a reboot of an early 2000s relic on a dying format. You'd think these companies would learn by now, but nah. Gotta get them ESG scores up!

I think this sums it up real nicely.

Comcast own G4, and have their own cable TV platform so it makes since for then to carry it for cable TV, it was also streamed on Twitch.

Nielsen Numbers Confirm Comcast's Failed G4 Revival Was The Lowest Watched Television Network Of 2022
According to the numbers, Comcast's attempt to revive G4 was the lowest performing television cable network in all of 2022.

“During its brief run from November 2021 to October 2022, the network managed to pull an average of only 1000 viewers during the period of 8 PM – 11 PM every Monday through Friday.”
LMAO I could put a video of paint drying up on YouTube and it would get more viewers than that.

What a self-righteous dweeb. She was dancing on the graves of her coworkers when she survived the first round of layoffs. Who would want a friend like that?

I’ve known people like this, where they’re the hero and tragic victim of every story, and everything they post is about how they’ve been wronged by people they thought were their friends. Constantly seeking out new things to get offended by to fuel their victimhood complex, then vomiting it out on social media so they get showered with pity points.
What a nasty, miserable snake of person. I feel sorry for her new coworkers.

Thank you Frosk for telling the world when you survived a corporate firing, then got fired, now leaving the industry for a different job. And bashing the industry once you find a different career path.
A great example of positive ethics.

Oh boy those comments. I love how her defenders all say the exact same thing.
Really shows you the type of person she is. People like her don't have friends, more accurately, don't know what friends are. They only see "people who agree with me on everything" and the moment they disagree "I thought you were my friend". No, you don't have friends you have followers.

Who knows what company she'll work at. But her best bet is another media company that is loose when it comes to public personality and politics. Where the corporate culture is similar in loose lips and ragging on social media.
Just imagine what the HR person would think if they didn't know who Frosk was and sat in a face to face interview at a place like Coke or Bank of Montreal.

I didn't know who Frosk was until the recent drama a few months ago. However, during my initial Google search of this person I saw they bounced around, A LOT, in their employment history.
Sometimes this means they're dysfunctional and/or narcissistic.
Everything I've seen from then 'till now reinforces my observation.

I can just imagine having a well-functioning workplace where everybody pretty much gets along and tolerates each other and is respectful of others’ culture/identity without feeling like they need to walk on eggshells…. then someone like Frosk joins and turns it into some workplace from hell.
Like you’ll try to be warm and welcoming and she’ll act like everything is normal to your face… then you find out from HR that *someone* complained about some phrase you used or something. Pretty soon everybody is acting weird and standoffish and spreading nasty gossip and rumors.
