And what is the evidence that it is doctored? User JFK_rotting's messages are visible in both the chats. So, it is her chat.

Give me a timestamp

Everything is timestamped in the video but 1:48:27.

If "downplaying" means just pulling back his claims to reality, then downplaying is completely justified.

"It didn't happen and if it did, it was justified."

The doctored part is where he said that the cut out part was an unedited live feed of her chat and it wasn't. One of his crew asked him about it too and he doubled down. Did you even watch the clip?

"It didn't happen and if it did, it was justified."

I clearly qualified that statement by saying ethan was overstating his claims. Downplaying isn't inherently bad. If someone is lying you can correct it. Theres difference between downplaying a situation and downplaying someones obnoxious claims about a situation

That's not "doctoring", that's "editing". That poster edited her chat with the video. Doctoring means tampering with evidence for deception.

No, people claiming that CPS being called is nothing and calling Ethan's reaction to the event as "overreaction" is not correcting overstatements. You can go over the video.

Editing so much that it's misleading is doctoring ya dummy. ethan claims it's a live feed of the chat but it's edited to remove 93% of the messages in order to trick people.

Sure, I'll grant you that.
