They did do it. Before the snark Reddit was removed, there was a pinned thread urging people to only watch his video from a list of channels that said they'd steal views.
Before that there was a pinned thread urging people to mass report him to CPS.
Puppies poop on the floor. Babies crawl on the floor. Preventing both is difficult. The disease in question is fairly common (and often found in babies who crawl on the floor when there are pets), and even if you clean the floor there is a chance spots are missed.
If the mods truly are innocent, I say let that be decided by a jury.
Edit: the kid in question, by the way, did in fact not have Giardia.
He can't say what he did and not expect cps to appear.
It doesn't matter if the kid actually had it after he literally said shit was everywhere on the floor and he thought everyone in the house had it. Especially when saying he had shit everywhere making it sound like it wasn't getting cleaned up.
Hes simply suing because he's lashing out at anyone he can. It's a frivious lawsuit simply to find out anyone he can blame for his failing YouTube show.
Can you please give me your home address? I won't do anything evil with it, I just want to have it in case I don't think your kids are safe. I care about the children.
When you buy new dogs, you can expect there to be shit everywhere, especially if they get sick, CPS is not something you call knowing the full context. The CPS calls were definitely out of hate, not concern, and the calls themselves aren't even the issue. The mods urging people to call, however, is targeted harassment.
The lawsuit has a legitimate basis, and if it truly was a frivolous lawsuit, denims et al. would have filed a motion to dismiss, which they didn't.
Again it's the point he was yelling everyone in the house had the parasite and shit everywhere. He doesn't even have proof who called cps, it's simply him doing a frivious lawsuit.
They are working to have it thrown out
Again it's simply Ethan upset people were criticizing him.
The lawsuit is about the copyright infringement, not the CPS call. The mods organized for users to perform copyright infringement. The CPS calls are just a side thing as a "also, these people are horrible".
Also, the ones trying to throw it out are the Reddit lawyers, not Demin's lawyers. Reddit is defending Reddit. Also, there being no proof is a lie. Unless Reddit deleted the data entirely, which would be illegal, there definitely is a deleted thread on Reddit where mods urged people to commit copyright infringement, because I personally saw it.
