The Disturbing Past of JewWario


Side Note: Even though this is a deceased person, please do not go and attack or harass anyone mentioned.

I don't really talk about YouTuber's that are deceased, mainly because it's a disturbing topic on something that happened behind the scenes. It just doesn't sit well with me and gives me vibes of things that are either creepy or strange. I mean the only time I ever brought up someone that was deceased was with the ImJayStation post where he used Etika (one of the most popular streamer during that time) as for content and basically disrespected him not long after Etika's passing. However, this subject were going to talk about is quite more disturbing and that is JewWario; a YouTuber who made Gaming videos and Reviews but even after his passing showed disturbing messages towards others.

JewWario (also known as Justin Carmical) started his account on December 28, 2006. For almost a year he didn't upload anything to his channel until August 30, 2007, with the first video titled "Pop'n-Mania Controller." Overtime, Justin's channel started to grow more and more with the likes of gaming enthusiasts. One of which was a three part monologue of him live onstage dressed as Mario. Many of his early videos would not get as much views (with some breaking over by a large margin). Eventually he became a member of Channel Awesome (or That Guy With The Glasses) and was featured on a series called Transmission Awesome (couldn't find a link to an actual video but here's him with MarzGurl who's also part of Channel Awesome). One of his most popular and yet most viewed video on his channel is titled "The Pipeline - PS VITA TV (overview)" which currently sits at over 540k views.

The Major Fall:

Fired From Channel Awesome / Death & Terrible Legacy Aftermath:

On February 15, 2013, Doug Walker (the main owner of Channel Awesome) posted a short statement regarding Justin's departure from Channel Awesome. Shortly after Justin's firing, he made a statement on his long forgotten website explaining the situation on how changes suck. Many people behind the scenes were kind of confused for the departure and around that timeframe, many started to question why he was fired and it was around that time where it was unknown. Justin posted his last video on January 21, 2014, and two days later on January 23, he took his own life and it was confirmed by his wife. As a memorial, many of the Channel Awesome members being Doug Walker and AngryJoe (since deleted) posted tributes on Justin's passing. Many of these images were found on this blogspot page.

This is where the poor legacy starts to come in. Four years later after Justin's passing, On April 2, 2018, a 73-page Google Docs document was created along with a Condensed version detailing timelines and the many problems with the critics. There was also leaked chatlogs with a member of the team complaining of sexual harassment with someone within the company. On February 12, the team agreed to fire the person on Friday, and it didn't take to long for people to realize that friday was February 15, and they connected the puzzle piece together with the date of Justin's firing matching the exact date of Doug's post. It turns out that Justin was a predator behind the scenes and most of the members of the Channel Awesome Team were aware of this but failed to do anything about it. A reddit post was made and asking a question as to what is going on with the JewWario situation. A person who was one of the victims replied talking about the abuse behind the scenes. It's just as disgusting.
