Ok.....I'm trying to figure out what that YT comment is. He and his group brought up a swatting attempt (was he pleased about it?) and others called them on it?

[(Anonymous)]

I can't confirm if it really was a swatting attempt. Someone called the police to say Brad committed suicide. Brad has said the funeral he attended was swatted, then it turned into a family member's house was swatted, and then it switched to there was an attempt to have Brad's family in general swatted, but other sources say it was police showing up to Brad's parents' house in Illinois doing a wellness check because at the time Brad was out of state attending a funeral.

No one should make such calls to the police. No matter who the person is or what they have done false police reports or swatting attempts are stress inducing to parties involved, and wasting police/public service resources.

Brad's "the whole group celebrated the swatting attempt" comment was in his video where he reviewed "Yesterday". It's been deleted. And yes, Allison showed screencaps of the texts she received from Brad's wife because in the review she said Allison brushed off the swatting attempt. She accused Allison of orchestrating the police call, and when Allison said no she continued to accuse Allison of encouraging her fans to harass Brad's family so Allison cut off the conversation.

Brad has set up a narrative that he's been harassed and he had to do all sorts of things due to the harassment and it's the fault of the CTC producers who encourage their fans to harass Brad and his family. The harassment is awful, no one can deny that, but people have pointed out that Brad was silent or dismissive when other producers have said they were being harassed. Also, Brad has made big claims about a lot of things, and when asked for receipts he either changes his story or stops talking about it. Some of the CTC producers have come out to say Brad is lying or saying they can't believe that Brad would make such claims and be so willing to throw people under the bus. To me it seems like a lot of gaslighting.

*ALSO* None of the former CA producers ever told anyone to harass anyone as far as I have seen. They've all said to not harass CA/Brad and/or their families.

...What’s a swatting attempt please?

[(Anonymous)]

Basically, calling the cops on someone you don't like, claiming that there's an urgent situation in progress, so they need to show up with guns and full kit. Only it's someone playing video games or making lunch or something.

Because that's a totally rational thing to do to someone who did something you don't like, right?

[tabaqui]

OH.
SWATting. Okay. I was thinking it was some weird kind of sexual thing (over tweets or something) or....something.

That's freakin' horrifying. Have people died from that? Because I can see people dying from that. Jayzus.

[wannabe_influential]

I think there have been several cases of cops being called on people in the middle of streaming video games and such, with a few being arrested on camera?

[tabaqui]

Well, that's better than being shot dead.

Jayzus. Well - I'm not surprised.

I used to love Nostalgia Critic, until all of the crap went down and it turns out he's just another asshole slease. Sigh...
He and particularly his family do not deserve to be harassed in any way. However, he does deserve to be held accountable for his actions.
So in other words
Fuck Doug Walker.
(I still watch Cinema Snob though. As far as I know he hasn't been accused of anything).

[(Anonymous)]

Brad's thrown people under the bus and has been trying to gaslight people into thinking the harassment he/CA have received was specially orchestrated by the former CA producers. He also is using tragedy to shield himself from criticism and responsibility.

If anything, this past week he's kind of become more loathed than Doug, Rob and Mike Michaud. They've kept quiet. Brad has made baseless accusations toward Allison, Kailyn, Holly, and Mathew and deleted the comment. Instead of addressing the accusation/comment delete, he deleted his Twitter.

[kari_izumi]

What, again?! I thought he *just* got back on Twitter!

Either way, ugh, that whole thing is a top-to-bottom shitshow. I haven't been able to watch a single thing from Channel Awesome since the whole ChangeTheChannel shit went down. Even before the JewWario situation came out, I've been in too many jobs with too many completely negligent asshole bosses who fuck over people to overlook that.

Brad's been showing his whole ass with this stuff. That's entirely his choice to stay at CA but did he expect he was gonna be able to stay friends with the rest of that group? Like you said, the other two stooges have kept their mouths shut.

I'm glad everyone at CA is doing great things without Brad and the Walkers. Lindsay Ellis in particular has entirely eclipsed her beginnings there.

the secret is literally *about* cinema snob so I'm not entirely sure where you got doug from

[(Anonymous)]

Brad's always seemed like that friend that you hoped would get it together after college who never quite got there. There's only so many crash-and-burn romances/friendships/etc. that one person can go through before you start to wonder if it's them that's the problem.
