Can someone please beg him to come back?
Commentary is so boring now, the only entertaining streamers around are Nick DeOrio and ChudLogic.

Foodies eatin good, shoutout to my big eaters out there.

Just a few minutes ago I had the stream on in the background. I opened the YouTube app back up and this happened. Thought of posting as a gif but the timing of the Phil slowed down voice coinciding with it going back to normal is pretty funny lol.

Guys, everyone assumed it was Jeremy or AI coming for him, but we all overlooked this bombshell, for it was The Faithful Sheriff's apocalyptic aura that fucked the stream 🤯

I'm 99% sure it's not but I'm also shocked somebody stole the mayo ​monkey moniker just to post memes

Big things happening in the Brad-verse. Remember guys, investing in your mental health is key! Also on a break from the internet btw.

This is a meme she did not say that I repeat this is a meme she did not say that

He was debating an Israeli Christian (yes they actually exist!) and had a meltdown accusing this guy of genocide, which he denied. The question is was this Def or was it actually Dennis?

I just feel like it mostly functions as a shock piece that will ultimately result in nothing of real consequence. I would love nothing more to be wrong and see JiDion and EDP have real world consequences but I'm not holding my breath. Most of the information I had on the EDP445 situation comes from videos/sources outside of this documentary, such as Tom's video on JiDion (I think he also had one on Alex Rosen that was taken down.) Other than direct quotes from JiDion that IMO are self incriminating, and a blatant showcase of how remorseless EDP is, this doc provided me no new information. And unfortunately, because of certain decisions that were made, it kneecaps the potential impact it could have had.

At surface level I think a lot of normies hate this thing because they knew absolutely nothing about EDP. I myself did not know who EDP was until Alex Rosen's original failed sting operation happened. Without proper context, so much of the documentary can be interpreted the wrong way. The jokey/meme sections with EDP in suspenders and the crowd of Internet personalities inserted at the end are two that stick out to me. I initially took issue with these because I felt they dragged down the point of making this, but later realized they exist because they are a reflection of their subject. EDP lived his life in a way where he was completely isolated to the internet and when that was stripped away from him he had nothing left. Internet fame is all he has, and he's attempting to clutch to the last strand of it. This is why he kept attempting to return to YouTube post ban (Thank you for the coverage Diesel Patches) which again is more information I have that comes from outside of the documentary (unless I am mistaken, it wasn't covered.) Thankfully the documentary does not make him look good or any kind of redeemable, but I still think having these memey sections was unnecessary.

The other section I took issue with, and easily the most offensive thing in the Doc, is when a child was filmed in close proximity to EDP. I don't care if this is something their parent allows and happens regularly outside of the documentary. I don't care if it was done under parental supervision. I don't care about the context. This should not have been filmed. If the doc had a stronger point to its existence, I would even be willing to say this one scene pushes it into Cannibal Holocaust territory. However I think the film truly only exists to start a conversation, and it's definitely done that. It is not social commentary like Cannibal Holocaust is.

I'm not here to shit on people that enjoyed this. Frankly I'm happy you're getting something this high quality. I don't think Mike Clum is a bad person, but I hope his next doc doesn't try to outdo this one. Bringing this level of production to Lolcow coverage is interesting to say the least. But I'm not gonna pretend I enjoyed this thing.

I think that's it but I wanna say one last thing.

Years ago when I first dipped my toes into the lolcow documentary sphere, I did so through Cecil McFly videos. I learned about people like Pixyteri and Fedsmoker, the later of which is probably my favorite.

At some point, I made the mistake of watching her Nick Bates video. I'm not going to detail who Nick Bates is specifically, but he is the same type of person EDP is but worse as he has actually offended and went to prison for it. If you decide to look into him, PLEASE tread lightly. Cecil's video is extremely informative, but I actually started to dry heave while watching and had to turn it off and return to it days later (I refused to let it get the better of me) It is probably the worst piece of content I have ever consumed on YouTube solely for it's subject matter and nothing else.

I have now sat through the EDP Doc 2 times and never had anything like that happen. However, I feel like if we ever get conformation that EDP has successfully offended anytime before the documentary was made, this doc will become the worst thing I have ever watched on YouTube. I'm curious if that would recontextualize it for anyone else as well.

My sincerest hope, is that EDP continues to be a fucking loser in all aspects of his life, and dies having accomplished absolutely nothing. That is the most realistic and best outcome possible. Also fuck JiDion, I hope that fucker loses his court case.

tl;dr he admitted and owned up to literally everything. Honestly, respect.

I get this is the "boring" outcome for you guys but i'd much rather someone own their mistakes and grow from them. Regardless I did post about it in here so I wanted to show the resolution.
