They Called Him Mostly Harmless

“No one was looking for him because he was an asshole” best line from this documentary

An unknown man is found dead and a bunch of lonely people try to make it about them…

This INFURIATED me. No one who knew john doe for more than a day or two agreed to even comment. This is entirely about facebook vigilantes trying to make a martyr out of someone who definitely did not deserve or desire the title. I have never been more angry at a documentary.

I actually really liked this documentary. It was well put together and kept my attention. I do agree with most of the other reviews I read, though. These Facebook warriors are making the situation about themselves, they glorified an abuser simply because he was kind to some people while hiking, and “nobody was looking for him because he was an asshole”. However, it’s not our position to hide him. We don’t know the full story. We cannot spread hate about somebody who didn’t live to tell their story, or their truth. We don’t know. And that’s okay. 9/10

the ending comments from other hikers annoyed me so much. i find the facebook women very interesting too, but not in the same way as the people in Don't F*** with Cats

Great doc - though it was wild to see how many people try to redeem an abuser because he was nice to them for a few hours in a forest.
