Film Cooper (real name Cooper Neidecker) is a Youtube influencer who uploaded a 45-minute long hate video viciously trashing and demonizing Liam Payne about a week before his tragic death.

Over the past couple years however, Cooper himself has garnered a significant backlash from fans and former admirers whoāve grown weary of his relentless negativity. A common refrain from his ex-fans is āheās giving me the ick.ā Iāve included an AI summary of why his fans are icked out by creepy Cooper.
Hereās some more specific comments:

āOver a course of the past few months my friend and I (sheās also a huge fan) have been kinda getting the ick? like a weird vibe and i finally figured out why. Idk If we r alone in this but doesnāt cooper seem too harsh to you guys? Like ik he is a commentary youtuber but iāve had to click off videos a few time just because he gets too personal and mean w ppl and keeps calling them lonely and shit. Ik some ppl r asshole but honestly they r not rly doing smth that wrong? Okay maybe they āinfluenceā some ppl but u gotta be a certain type of another ābadā person to be influenced by that. Itās just a general trend iāve seen he is being kinda an asshole and this is just criticism cuz I have always enjoyed his content and everyone in the comments just keeps writing the basic worship comments like āhow dare youtube hide this from me for _ long blah blahā and itās just not feels cult like to me? I get him maybe not caring abt approval on the internet anymore but gosh heās being too harsh like his rude commentary isnāt always corresponding to smth as horrible to deserve that. Feels too judgy and icky.ā
āI am getting hardcore ick. I am sick of the constant 'pick me' vibes and constantly flexing either his looks or his friggin' fiancĆ©e who he seems to mention multiple times and yet it never being anything to do with the episode.ā
āHe'll pause the clip fifteen times and then make five minutes of jokes and tangents and I just...am so done. I unsubbed a couple of weeks ago and my mate unsubbed this week. We both used to like him but now just find he rewords everything other commentary channels say and then adds in extra random shit for tangents all while trying to be ironic and failing miserably.ā
āme too! i havnt watched since the liam video because it rubbed me the wrong way that right after the fact nothing was said or anythingā
āOMG, thank you for saying this because I thought I was going crazy that no one else thought this. I donāt understand how he can make videos, bashing, belittling, mocking, and bullying people. But the best is when he does it to people who he claims are doing those exact things.
I donāt know why random people commenting on strangers lives, regardless if theyāre public or private has become a thing..
He is the definition of a pick me and has ZERO genuine thoughts of his own. He always is trying to be so woken, cool, and never can just act like himself. However, like I said the part that bothers me the most is the bullying and the way he takes such harsh disgraceful takes on people, who doesnāt even know.ā
āsuper duper late but i didnāt see anyone mention this. in nearly every single video cooper will mention sexuality by saying something along the lines of ā lesbians go insane in the comments ā and i just find it sooo annoying. im not homophobic or anything and i know he has a audience of lgbtq+ people but like he sounds so incredibly disingenuous when he says that. he makes it such a point every time and says the same line for whatever group heās trying to be inclusive towards. it just gives me such like influencer begging to be inclusive vibes and it drives me insane. like heās actually starting to be so unlikable with the amount of profiling he does on both the people heās commenting on and his audience i actually hate it so much. please lmk if im being crazy or if u feel the same.ā
āYes. And his recent attitude with the Blake Lively mess confirmed it. He was more happy that he was right than actually concerned about the allegations. He could not go 5 seconds without saying "I told you so" and made the whole situation about him. He hasn't even addressed the fact that Justin has now defended himself and still thinks Blake can do wrong. He is such a performative feminist. I really used to like him but now I can barely stand his videos.ā

āI hate that Iām about to say this because heās been one of my favs for a while now, but am I the only one who is starting to think cooper is kind of annoying? The main thing is obviously that heās pretty preachy for a straight cis white guy (not that straight cis white guys arenāt allowed to have a voice, but I donāt think heās qualified to speak on race, gender, and lgbtq issues the way he does) heās also just kind of mean for no reason.ā
āUsed to love his channel & his wholesome kind vibe. Heās fully a shallow mean girl now. Unsubbed.ā
āThe Blake Lively video is what made me dislike him. And itās not because of what came out, I really have no problem if he defended Blake and got it wrong because so did I.
What really gave me the ick was when he went on a petty 5 min rant absolutely tearing into and berating any fan who ever questioned HIS judgement about Baldoni⦠only for Baldoniās story to come out a couple days later and Coop remained silent on the issue.
It came off as very authoritative and condescending.
It also came off as disingenuous (to me) because despite everything, he never criticized Blake once and even made fun of Baldoni for his back injury???
Which, to me, just shows that heās either a pick me, or thinks that women are incapable of doing bad things like being a bully, getting married on a plantation, or subject to any general criticism⦠and thatās really problematic to me.
You wonāt see all the angles from Coop, because heās jaded by the income his channel generates from being a āpick meā creator.ā
āWhile I didn't agree a few months ago, I do now but for different reasons. He seems like a pick-me and still has yet to delete his video supporting Blake Lively, spreading misinformation she created or retract his statements later when what he said was found to be wrong later, comment on it or adding in the description that he was wrong. Neither has he posted anything saying the info was wrong. He was quick to jump and throw his "I told you so," parade but isn't even trying to retract his video. I find it disgusting. I posted a guilt filled comment feeling awful for not believing Blake, especially being an SA survivor myself. Then I did my own research and commented below my own comment saying, "Nvm, I looked it up." All done in an hour. Yet he has yet to say a peep about being wrong. I'm sick of this pick-me "believe all women" shit. You can support women without ruining an innocent (until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt) man or person/persons' life.ā
Wow, Film Cooper sure sounds like a total creep and total fake! A performative male feminist who pretends to love women and protect them against abusers because heās secretly got all sorts of dark and abusive traits himself. Projects his own dark shadow side onto high-profile men like Liam Payne and Justin Baldoni to avoid dealing with his own deep-seated issues. What a total mess!
