I like this but I need more context: Did lulu have anything to do with what happened? As far as I know they're just stores that exist in a mall, so it'd be like me protesting a Hot Topic because of Radioshack. But I dunno, carry on dude!

I see that the Libertarian/Ron Paul style of grass roots political action has had an effect over the years.

Context: Lulu is a self-publishing website which Chris was using to sell Sonichu comics. They shut the Sonichu account down just after Christmas, citing concerns over copyright violations; in response, Chris has called for Sonichu fans to protest against Lulu, in addition to the ongoing Gamestop embargo.
Not much is known about troll protesting in front of the office, but over the holidays he filmed himself picketting in front of Gamestop on Chris' behalf. Chris is most pleased with this loyal fan, and has "liked" and "shared" both videos.

EvilHomer - 2016-01-10 You still can; she's moving over to a new publisher, although of course there will be shipping delays because of Lulu's anti-L*BT discrimination.
Also, she is going to be selling autographed Sonichu comics at an upcoming comic convention, OmegaCon. No word yet as to whether she's actually paid for a vendor's table, or whether she's just going to show up, claim a spot without authorization, and get in a fight with security.

infinite zest - 2016-01-10 Ah OK. Our friend is protesting the wrong Lulus then, but keep fighting the power!
|
infinite zest - 2016-01-10 But maybe I'm wrong! I remember Lulus at the mall but I think they've gone amazon since then. Still doesn't look much like a publishing house to me from the facade though.
|
EvilHomer - 2016-01-10 My guess is this Lulu office has nothing to do with the actual CWC Lulu, but the protester isn't trying to be genuinely helpful and I doubt he cares.
|
EvilHomer - 2016-01-10 The uploader claims he's protesting in Raleigh; however, the Google streetview for Lulu's headquarters doesn't resemble the place he is filming at.
It's kind of an interesting streetview, by the way. Go down both of the streets fronting the Lulu building and you'll see what I mean...!

EvilHomer - 2016-01-10 Uhh, I'm sorry, WHAT did you just say?!
You mean L*BTQ, surely.

Cena_mark - 2016-01-10 Christine is okay with the "G"s now.
|
EvilHomer - 2016-01-10 Really? Do you have a source for this? She's still uncomfortable around g_ MALES, and she's refusing to let men (including MtFs) into her lesbian slumber-party.
|
infinite zest - 2016-01-10 oooooooooooo do you have a link to the streetview? I can't seem to find it. But I think he's protesting a barbershop here
|
EvilHomer - 2016-01-11 Just look up Lulu.com, Raleigh, NC. Pay attention to the large block of buildings across the street!
