That little nugget suggests to me that the Afore is not being benefited-in-kind for his unqualified and self appointed Producer status (a bit like self nominating for a Nobel peace award) but rather, Redbrick Filmworks are ensuring the Interpreter President has his hand in the till along with them. He can’t, now or at some future point, claim he had no knowledge that Redbrick Filmworks were having a jolly good time on expenses paid for, ultimately, by Interpreter donors. He’s complicit.Marcus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 10:43 pmOne additional issue, he has stated that when his fellow executive producer Deborah Peterson traveled for film-related events with him, her expenses were not covered, while his were. Is this another way of hogging the donations for his hobbies?Doctor Scratch wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 8:22 pmI think some credit is due here: the Afore has really helped to educate all interested parties on just how donations to Interpreter are spent. We knew, of course, that the money was paying for him to travel, stay in motels, and eat for free, but I admit that I'm a bit torn on how to feel about details. He has wanted to frame our criticisms of him as being some sort of thing about him enjoying all this "luxury," though I don't think anyone said that, exactly. But I'm happy to declare, very clearly, that it is beyond obvious that the food options (at least) are not in any way "luxurious." "Trashy" is more how I'd describe them. Even if the option for "more luxurious" was on the table, these recent reports suggest that it wouldn't matter: he would still gravitate towards the deep-fried junk and sugar-loaded foods on the menu. Dr. Robbers is correct: the Afore seems to have the tastes of a 5-year-old.
The fact of the matter, in any case, is that people are paying money to Interpreter so that he can wolf down junk--including stale cinnamon rolls, Philadelphia cheesesteaks, onions rings, and donuts with maple syrup on them. It just feels "off" somehow. Would this be better if the money was being spent, say, on a prime aged New York strip, or if he was upgrading to the caviar and truffle supplement? Or if he was staying in the finest hotel room in all of St. George? It's honestly hard to say. Regardless, the main point--that he is getting to do his hobbies for free, thanks to donor money--is still true.
I do find it interesting that he feels so accountable to this board that he would vomit his food shame all over his blog just to try and take a side swipe at people who, by doing so, he’s ratifying their suggested accusations. Does he think he’s being clever by listing all the free crap he’s gobbling down?
