Man I haven't followed maddox for a long time, but I would never guess he'd fall so low he'd become a lolcow... He was like the proto-anti-sjw back in the day. It's kind of sad.

Them he moved to LA and got a girlfriend...

People who support maddox and can't be trusted: tim pool, chris ray gun, sargon, the amazing atheist/the drunken peasants, mundanematt (judging from his video on the subject).

Mundanematt just doesnt know what he is talking about.
What he read from the lawsuit was just literally the first thing he heard about it.
I dont think his video wasnt shitty. I also dont think its because hes a fan of Maddox.
Im extremly sceptical about the others you mentioned

DP has always been in the “No clue what they’re talking about” category for me. They only got brownie points from people because they hosted a debate between Razorfist and Kyle Kulinski. I still say TJ sucks as a moderator in a debate.
Apparently they also had Maddox on their podcast and censored questions people were asking from StreamLabs.

The best part of his moderation was when he paused the debate to go take a dump.

A yellow, slightly curved and rich in potassium dump?

Yeah, Dick was on their podcast the previous week and took a fat halacloholic dump on maddox even though they told him not to. Like chris ray gun they feign ignorance because they know maddox is completely indefensible and don't want to burn bridges.

You do realize that TJ/DP had Dick on as well right?
3
Were they also censoring StreamLabs questions when he was on, because that’s what they did when Maddox was on.

The Offical Podcast has an answer to this. Paraphrasing: "Dont shit on your guests while they are doing a show with you."
This is also why DP didnt fuck with Onision when he was on the show.

Now that TJ fucked with DP, we know the truth. Maddox gave them a list of words that they weren't allowed to let through.

For more information about the maddox lawsuit check out the KotakuInAction thread posted a couple days go. There is also the very detailed legal analysis by copyright attorney Leonard French provided as a link in the video description. It involves the intersection of patreon, digital free speech in regards to methods used to parody and criticize internet famous personalities, what is considered an online mobs, and more.
This covers the legal briefing and what happened in Metokur / Internet Aristocrat's unique style, and includes some other interesting angles such as comparing their patreons.
For the true MM fans, yesterday after he chatted with people in the youtube chat, he was invited to join a small stream of socioligists and also discussed the lawsuit among other topics.

Metokur is Internet Aristocrat?

Yep.

If it was unclear from my abbreviation, Mister Metokur is IA's latest handle. "Metokur", its namesake was just a collaborator in the distant internet past and is now defunct.

For those surprised at how Maddox has transformed into an SJW, Aydin Paladin made a good video about the precursor to all this earlier this year.

Man, that's heart breaking. I had no clue Maddox had totally sold out and lost his edge. I still have fond memories of wearing his "For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three" shirt around my vegan sister. And then my dad teasing her when she'd mope about it.

Ah, the fine art of pointing and laughing.

There was also Nick Rekieta's video going through it that gives a pretty good insight about it.
At least Mister Metokur did more research than Mundane Matt.
In case people were interested on the qualifications, Nick Rekieta is a lawyer also, listed as practicing "General Law". I think they have more fun going through the lawsuit than the copyright attorney Metokur linked, perhaps the drinking helped.
