I know, #changethechannel, and all that.

But Doug Walker actually seems like a pretty likeable guy. In contrast, so many other former Channel Awesome people come off as very unlikable on social media, and they have no sense of humor about themselves whatsoever. A bunch of uptight assholes.

Was Doug the good guy the whole time?

Like Linkara.

He's now very angry because Ralphthemoviemaker reviewed the ATFW movie.

He can dish it out but he can't take it.

idk what being able to roll with the punches when people laugh at you for sucking has to do with any of the changethechannel stuff.

Some of the criticism levied at him was that he was nice, but just absolutely terrible to work for. Genial, but not caring or understanding.

Then there's the Cinematic Venom thing.

Cinematic Venom was a guy who made a YouTube documentary about Channel Awesome's downfall that was sympathetic to the Changethechannel movement, but he eventually became so disgusted with them that he made a feature length documentary about how awful the Changethechannel people are.

He said they are just as awful as they accuse Channel Awesome of being.

It's always weird that these guys will harshly criticize stuff, then they'll try to make their own movies and they're complete garbage. I like some of Linkara's stuff, but the skits are bad and his movie looks awful.

Everything I read about Doug made him seem more inept than anything. I never got the sense that he was malicious the way that many did.

Not really itching to watch a two-hour video.
Can someone summarize who were the geninely nice ones and who were the despicable assholes?

I remember when that whole thing went down Doug just regurgitated everything his producer/co-channel owner said, even uncritically allowing him to use his own facebook to repost it. And while it's obviously not surprising he would take his side, what he said was often vile as shit towards the complainers and Doug just going "yep" was pretty discouraging to see.
