I just watched Tyler Oliveira’s video “Inside India’s Poop-Throwing Festival!” where he visits the Gorehabba festival in a Karnataka village and immerses himself in this wild, rarely-seen tradition. In this reaction I’ll talk about why I admire his effort to highlight a remote ritual, why the villagers’ reception seemed warm and communal, and simultaneously why the threats, doxxing and insults he received are absolutely unacceptable.

Why Tyler Oliveira’s work deserves support

He chose to leave his comfort zone and show a tradition most of his audience (and many Western viewers) have never seen. That takes courage and willingness to explore.

In the footage and reports, the villagers are welcoming and very nice; the culture is real, the ritual is deeply rooted. By showing this, Tyler helped bridge a gap in global awareness.

He later publicly shared he received serious threats and yet still stood by his work. That commitment to documenting culture matters.

When creative work — even if imperfect — is met with doxxing, death threats or pressure, it chills others from taking risks. That means cultural stories go untold. You can criticise or question representation, intent or editing – but you cannot justify terrorising a creator for simply filming and sharing. If the goal is open dialogue, terrorising the storyteller is counter-productive.

Yes: some viewers felt Tyler’s titles and rhetoric (“poop-throwing festival”, hazmat suit visuals) bordered on sensationalism. That’s valid critique.
The Times of India

But the key factor: He participated. He was immersed. He told locals he came respectfully. He didn’t stand outside mocking—they let him join. That’s not exploitation alone; it’s engagement.

Critique the framing, not threaten the person. That’s the difference.
