YouTuber Tyler Oliveira has decided to withhold his documentary on India's poop-throwing festival. On November 7, he shared a lengthy X post explaining his stance on the matter. The decision comes days after he drew criticism for sharing clips from the festival on his social media platforms. As per his X post, he wrote:

“After much consideration, I have decided I will NOT be releasing my documentary capturing India’s poop-throwing festival… I have been doxxed, and threatened by thousands of Indians over the last 2 weeks… Tens of thousands of Indians have turned my life into a living hell. My family has been attacked in ways I never could have imagined.”

Tyler Oliveira’s post continued:

“Showing up to this poop-festival was the worst decision of my life, and I severely underestimated the power of India…I am only one man… I cannot defeat the combined power of 1.5 billion Indians who yearn for my destruction. I simply cannot continue fighting this war, and must choose my battles. This one simply isn’t worth it.”

Tyler Oliveira clarified that his intention was not to upset Indians, nor their culture and religion. He said all he wished to do was show the world the festival. Oliveira also urged people to stop bothering his family members.


Tyler Oliveira’s recent X posts about the festival explored

On October 30, he posted a video of himself accompanying a villager who showed him a lump of fresh cow dung. The villager told Tyler Oliveira that eating a minute quantity of the dung can be helpful health-wise. In response to the video, he wrote in a post:

“X is censoring all of my posts related to Indians eating / throwing cow poop. My last video where an Indian villager eats fresh cow poop and claims it prevents cancer has been age-restricted. Indian mass reporting is a legitimate problem.”

As seen on Tyler Oliveira’s X, several of his posts have been reported and restricted. He also shared a screenshot of his call logs showing missed calls, which he said were “nonstop spam.” In one of his posts, the YouTuber wrote:

“Indians are mass reporting the posts of me stating that my previous posts have been mass-reported and then age-restricted.”

On October 31, the YouTuber shared a screen recording of a message he received from an Indian. The person, in a voice recording, told him in a derogatory tone that he would like to be involved with Tyler’s sister. He even called Tyler names. In the caption, he said:

“After filming a poop-throwing festival in India, angry Indians are sending me messages like this.”

In another recent post on the platform, Tyler Oliveira said that after taking part in India’s poop-throwing festival, he had to spend around $5,000 on medical tests to check for various diseases. He joked that if the documentary didn’t release within a week, it might indicate complications following the festival.
