** It would be because of this controversy that a Role-Ending ''Felony'' was uncovered. For years, it was unknown why Justin Carmical, aka [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]], had left Channel Awesome, in part because he committed suicide so soon afterwards. As such, he was remembered with fondness by his fans and most of the site's contributors. This was, however, until evidence ended up surfacing that he had sexually assaulted a minor and raped an unconscious woman, and that he was fired by Channel Awesome following the latter incident. (The concealment of the rape was apparently done at the request of the victim.) This was later confirmed by multiple sources, and if anything made CA's rebuttal to [=#ChangeTheChannel=] even worse, particularly since the shoddy editing in CA's second response left enough info uncensored that people quickly figured out that Justin was the predator alluded to in the "Not So Awesome" Google Doc. This revelation damaged the reputation of CA and the Walkers even more than the Google Doc did, because they knew what had happened but did not tell anyone else on the site or community, and had allowed tributes to Justin to be posted on the site after he died. [[note]] It should be noted that Channel Awesome was to a certain degree complying with the wishes of the victims to not publicly disclosure this information due to their fear of public backlash and online harassment. That being said, there is no excusing the tribute videos that were posted with full knowledge of Justin's true character by Channel Awesome and their pathetic efforts to protect their identities on their second response that only wounded up confirming the allegations.

They ultimately stayed out of what they later admitted to have been a naive belief that they could reform the site from within, along with wanting to have the backs of the new producers who joined the previous year in case they had any disputes with the Channel Awesome management.

** The planned tenth anniversary movie called ''Script/TheDevilsJesters'' was cancelled following the mass exodus from the site sparked by the aforementioned document released in April 2018, which in turn sparked another wave of resignations.

** According to the same document, WebVideo/MarzGurl was also targeted by Michaud. After she took Linkara's suggestion of starting her own channel on the now-defunct Blip, Michaud berated her for doing so without his permission, and only backed off after she apologized profusely and told him that Lewis had done the same thing. He repeatedly mislabeled her videos when they were posted on TGWTG, and attacked her again when she explained one miscommunication to confused viewers, accusing her of trying to make him look bad. He also frequently neglected to post her videos across TGWTG's social media platforms, giving her the impression that he was trying to make her "invisible" on the site and compel her to quit. When she did leave in September 2017, all of her videos were unceremoniously erased despite her nine-year contribution to the site.

According to him, all of his new videos were pushed to the bottom of the upload feed, despite him being one of the more popular producers on the site, which led him to start to lose interest in making content. It came to a head when his "Gayest Music Videos of the 1980s" video was rejected - he initially thought that the channel heads had mistaken it for being homophobic, which would be ironic, given T.J.’s [[NWordPrivileges bisexual]], but was later told that it wasn't uploaded because Channel Awesome thought their audience would be ''too'' homophobic to accept it, which became hypocritical given Rob and Mike’s alleged treatment of one of their gay producers, and T.J. got offended by them thinking that their audience would be homophobic. Shortly after, he was called into a meeting with the company heads who told him that they'd be letting him go because they were afraid that his Website/YouTube alter-ego (WebVideo/TheAmazingAtheist) would scare off potential advertisers to their site.
