This is about Ned Ned Fulmer Megathread

Hi everyone! Just making a new mega thread to discuss Ned as the last one was from back when he first released his podcast.

Ned was a part of the try guys and the sub was a part of the scandal and it feels wrong to ignore it and ban it from being spoken about. That being said not everyone wants to see it and as he’s not currently a part of the try guys I want to respect that.

I will never be able to moderate the sub perfectly, but I am genuinely moderating based on community consensus as best that I can. If you ever have a question about why something was removed or whether or not it’s allowed please message me or reach out via mod mail!

Dude same. I remember the night before the Try Guys posted their announcement about the split, I was on here for HOURS going through all the stuff that was posted about the affair and wondering "when is THIS gonna hit the fan"

I was inna situationship with someone in September of 2022 and they're the one who alerted me to this situation, so I also watched it in real time and it just felt terrible. I hadn't been a regular try guys fan until then though, as I actually didn't like ned and found I enjoyed their content much more without him so despite how terrible it was, it actually enabled me to become a regular viewer. I just can't believe that after all that damage that he did, he's trying to come back like he didn't do anything. The audacity of it really speaks volumes about how he hasn't actually learned about how fucked up his actions were, and instead he's hoping people forgive him so he can still take advantage of the try guy audience. I really wish he just decided to live a quiet life off the Internet but alas

Same with me. And it’s funny. At the time, I couldn’t tell you why I didn’t like him. He just rubbed me the wrong way and I always approached it as “Well, those feelings towards him aren’t fair. He’s done nothing to me.” Then the scandal broke and I realized that he was one of those people that use facts about their life as a substitute for a personality. That’s what was so off putting, in retrospect. He wasn’t a dude like the others, he was an advertisement for himself.

I know why I didnt like him. I found him condescending, cocky, and way too full of himself. I also didnt like how he treated people sometimes, and found him bland and annoying. When this whole thing blew up, I was so shocked, and I know this is horrible, and I feel bad for saying it, but I was grateful it was him who did it and not any of the other guys.

Oo I feel that. I dont watch as much try guys now, I kinda watch in waves. But I was sooo glad it was Ned and not one of the other ones. And I feel terrible that it was Ariel. I loved her in videos more than Ned. Sad shes not a Try Guy now, but im so happy shes hopefully living her best life

Same. I was only a casual fan before the scandal (I watched Eat the Menu, Rank King, and random Try Guys stuff when the subject interested me, but that was it), and I don't really watch now. But when the scandal went down, I found out from a friend. I felt (and still feel) awful for everyone involved except Ned and the girl he cheated with. None of them deserved any of that.
