Lindsay Ellis is probably in my top 5 favourite YouTubers. I learnt about her from The Bible Reloaded, of all places, and now I love watching her film analyses.

It's a shame Lindsay Ellis went through some pretty rough patches of self-destruction due to bad life decisions but I'm glad she's mostly pulled out of the hole and is making good content under her own name now.

[Gorou]

Man, I haven't watched any videos by people associated with Channel Awesome (in the past) in a long time but it's good that Lindsay still makes quality content.

At the beginning where she's lying down, is it just me or does she have a long body and really tiny legs?

[Janus Vesta]

The bit that you probably saw as her hip is her knee. It does look odd at first glance.

[Clovis]

Can you explain that for me? Didn't know she had a dark past, but I've had a seriously fucked up 8 years and it would be inspirational to hear what she pulled out of.

[Ganerumo]

Her involvement with Channel Awesome wasn't too positive and besides her run-ins with Doug she kind of got absolutely shitfaced a few times and got arrested for public intoxication at least once.

She kind of got thrown in the hole and it took her a while to crawl out of it, stress from CA's shit being a good factor.

Who got drunk and got a run-in with the police?
Or is she jokingly implying she did?

[Gmod4ever]

She did. She was arrested for public intoxication back in 2017.

Some subset of her detractors (the crazy bastards they are) still love to bring it up.

[ThePinkPanzer]

She did several times.

Iirc wasn't she also harassed at Channel Awesome?

[ASparkle]

Was there anyone who wasn't?

Also alcoholism has been a running joke on her channel for some time now.

Guru Larry, probably, but only because I'm not entirely convinced Doug even realized he was a part of Channel Awesome. I sure had no idea he was until the whole exodus happened - Larry himself sure didn't draw any attention to it until he was the last man standing - and even then, it was only so he could take the piss on CA.

[Køleskab]

I mean. The 3 male leads, i guess. Channel Awesome was a shitshow for everyone involved.
