Cishet white men stop trying to downplay bad shit Doug Walker did to make him cool challenge (FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE)

Apparently people like Suede are being sent the video and asked to react to it now :/ which like... poor Suede :( duck Doug Walker, and honestly, fuck LS Mark for even making this video.

I've talked with Suede on here via comments a couple times. Cool dude. Deserves far better than being dragged into his former boss' bullshit.

Ya I have literally never heard a bad thing about him, and he certainly deserves better than this. Same with everyone who left CA to be honest. It's fucked up, and to see people just ignoring the extremely fucked up and vile shit he did and was complicit in is extremely demoralizing

This whole thing is making me realize how much folks are VASTLY overestimating how much a cameo on Smiling Friends actually does for someone beyond a simple "Oh, it's funny they got THAT guy in the show" Short answer: Not much quite frankly.

I was just like, ew, why did they have a Doug Walker cameo? I'm not gonna think he's cool again for it.
sep 2, 2025, 2:48 am • 47 3 • view
Yeah, same here. I love Smiling Friends to death; I just hope Walker's cameo was just the creators being unaware of the situation instead of some e-dudebro "we don't care about the drama" bullshit.

They're friends with Oney, they don't have standards

You must be unaware of who the lead folks making Smiling Friends are to think they would have an issue with the stuff Doug did.

Yeah they've expressed a lot of anti queer sentiment on OneyPlays. The Smiling Friends guys are right wing.

You know the creators of the Smiling Friends are friends with Shadman, right? They sure as hell don't give a shit about what Doug has done.

didnt they like actually try to get chris chan to voice the grease puddle in that one episode or some crazy shit?

Yeah that was about my thoughts on it. Like, why the hell did they get THAT asshole on there? I skipped his cameo because I just can't stand looking at his stupid, smug face. He just sucks.

im p sure most smiling friends fans think more about other aspects of the show than dougs shit cameo tbh

Oh absolutely! But the internet treats Doug's less-than-a-minute cameo as a rockstar getting his former fame back when no. It's just a dumb joke from a show that just likes getting random internet people sometimes.

I'm also still convinced that his cameo was actually making fun of him too but his ego didn't let him see that. (Like Musk's cameo in Iron Man 2)
sep 2, 2025, 1:05 am • 13 1 • view
No, Musk's cameo was from a time before we knew what an asshole he was. Stark marches up and congratulates him on his tech completely unironically. Because at the time, Musk was gonna BE our Tony Stark.
sep 2, 2025, 1:20 am • 10 0 • view
Not really - he comes across as dismissive towards Musk and says regarding the electric jet "And we'll MAKE it work".

Though maybe I'm just interpreting it that way with the benefit of hindsight - I dunno.
sep 2, 2025, 1:45 am • 2 0 • view
When Iron Man 2 released, Musk was pretty universally heralded as the genius of our generation among press and culture. Musk is framed this way in a lot of older media. His cameo was more of a nod to how MCU Stark had somewhat been inspired by Musk's public image.
sep 2, 2025, 2:15 am • 2 0 • view
Remember how Star Trek held Musk up as an example of history's greatest minds, alongside the guy who flew the first warp flight and made first contact with the Vulcans, thus heralding the founding of the Federation?

Didn’t Tony say to him “P3dofile says ‘what?” Get away from me.”

Yeah I think maybe the MCU version of Tony Stark was somewhat based on Musk. 😬

I know a bunch of people who watch Smiling Friends. I'm the only one who knew who he was. I went "ARGH DOUG WALKER JUMPSCARE" and they all asked who he was. One said he seems really annoying, so I explained "Yup, that's his whole schtick. Used to be funny. Now it's not."
sep 2, 2025, 1:19 am • 13 0 • view
It's just weird to me how anybody could care about this asshole again. Like even before shit, I never got why people had any interest in a guy who was like...an awful at best James Rolfe wannabe, lol.
sep 3, 2025, 2:31 pm • 1 0 • view
Like I said, it should've been James Rolfe
sep 2, 2025, 7:12 am • 4 0 • view
Hmmm… Rolfe is a longtime friend of Stuttering Craig, a massive bigot and transphobic asshole. James cannot not be aware of this, he participated in his game awards crap.
sep 3, 2025, 1:24 am • 2 0 • view
Well, difference is James isn't actively participating in culture war nonsense beyond once saying he wasn't going to review Ghostbusters 2016 (and even then, he has recently said he saw the film himself and enjoyed it, no strings attached)
sep 3, 2025, 8:02 am • 1 0 • view
Odds are he participated as a friend instead of it relating to political leanings and just wound up in the wrong place Not saying he shouldn't have cut ties the moment Craig showed his true colors, but I'd prefer giving the benefit of the doubt over wanting his head on a pike by proxy

To quote Dan Olson, "I don't know James Rolfe" and he and his wife have their fair share of harassment to deal. Craig is also big friend with a well known women harasser, SmashJT and they both did this notably to keep harassin a woman journalist. James doesn't seem to know a lot of things, sadly.

It's kinda funny to see his balding sad ass desperately try to cling to relevance as Lindsey Ellis just raised a shit tone of money for charity and is living her best life with her family tho.

The difference between her and Doug is a clear one. She has actual critical thinking skills, and media literacy.

I love Smiling friends and most of Zach's stuff tbh, but I saw that cameo and just kinda thought "What a waste of episode space" Doug Walker is not only a creep and an asshat, but to be frank he was never really funny, even in his hay day he basically just kept repeating the same 3 jokes.

Like, Doug's a has-been still doing NC reviews because it's the only way he can make money doing internet content. He lost a good amount of viewers with CTC & his views have been going down steadily since 2019. He averages less than 100k views for most of his videos. SOME NC reviews average over...
sep 1, 2025, 8:10 am • 9 1 • view
that, but less than 200k. From a 1.4 million sub channel, that's not great to have less than 15% of your sub base actively be tuning in for new uploads. Especially when he used to get so much more than that for NC videos 6-7 years ago. He's hemorrhaging viewers. That ain't "rising again."
