For me the worst was when he posted multiple videos getting mad at people over Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny before he had even seen it. To me it was the equivalent of killing the messenger. When he finally saw the movie he realized he couldn't defend it any more. That's not his only bad take of course, just the biggest one I can think of right now.
So this guy spends countless videos decrying how Disney-owned Marvel has fucked up comics...and he expects the Disney-owned Lucasfilm, in the aftermath of The Last Jedi, Solo, and Rise of Skywalker, to not make a movie that also shits the bed?
Don't get me started on Zack's retarded movie takes.
He doesn't even have it mentally together enough to watch a movie in one sitting. He watches them 5 minutes at a time while doing other things, so any opinion he has about what constitutes a "good" movie should be taken with a dump truck full of salt. And he thinks the Expendables series is just great.
Ed was a maladjusted weirdo and a perv but this chick's claims of "grooming" and "he likes little highschool girls" just come off to me like a girl who grew up a little and realized he said some inappropriate shit but she blew it way out of proportion and people were quick to jump to ED IS A PEDOPHILE GROOMER, CUT ALL TIES WITH HIM IMMEDIATELY, LET'S GET A NEWS CREW AT HIS PARENT'S HOUSE.
You have to understand, women are being told from an early age that they have the right to never experience an unwanted or uncomfortable interaction with a man and that any such interaction is a violation of their person tantamount to an assault. This is why they take all these "incidents" that just gave them an "ick" and spew them across social media. Giving a woman an ick isn't illegal, it's not even immoral, but it is punishable in the court of public opinion which is why they announce what happened in the most dramatic way they can and then delete it once enough outlets have run with it.
They throw a grenade into the room and walk away saying "I never wanted this".
If he wasn't a coward the suicide note would say he made a misjudgment and got sexual with a young person.
But he didn't. You can infer that, you can suggest that, but Molly Dwyer herself said he never propositioned her or talked about sex in any way. He didn't send dick pics, he didn't ask for nudes, he didn't do any of the shit that people expect a sex fiend to do in DMs with an underage kid.
His interactions with Dwyer continued right up to the point where she made the accusation. Why didn't she block him and put him on blast right then? Why did she wait 4 years to say he called her a "naughty girl"?
Four years of DMs and "naughty girl" and "you can crash in the guest room if you're ever out this way" was the sickest shit he said? Bullshit.
An old dude flirting with a young adult is creepy and it's fair for her to make that public. He could deal with a bit of embarrassment.
If only that was all it cost. We could all deal with a bit of embarrassment but it goes far beyond that.
Ed Piskor lost business deals, his best friend cut ties with him before ever even discussing the allegations, his parents were harassed by camera crews who doxed both them and him, and he had a vocal portion of the online comics space calling him a pedophile who should die. All in one week. That's not a "bit of embarrasment" by any measure.
