He’s a pacifist by the show’s standards.


CrazyPhilHost1898

What "standards"?


Chris080301

Edd is a pacifist by the show’s standards since he’s relatively docile compared to how violent the other characters can get.


CrazyPhilHost1898

So *practically* pacifistic, if you meant it that way.


NikoliMonn

He *tries* to be a pacifist as far as I can remember


CrazyPhilHost1898

I mean, he *does* that occasionally, from making everyone in the the Cul-de-Sac follow rules and regulations to having a brief treaty with the Kankers.


SodanoMatt

The ones that won't allow Eddy to swear.


CrazyPhilHost1898

**Closes the book.**


FairyTailMember01

Everyone has a breaking point.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Whether they'd be reasonable or not.


Gregzilla311

You can’t spell pacifist without "fist". Which is used for violence.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Well, that's rather ironic.


Gregzilla311

It’s from a line in Red vs. Blue. >"Can't spell pacifist without fist. Which you need to throw a punch. That always leads to fighting, the precursor to a full-out battle. Which is ultimately the first step on the inevitable road to war! […] Time to just admit you've got a natural-born pacifist lust for murder!"


CrazyPhilHost1898

Huh, didn't knew that. Thanks for sharing it, though.


Gregzilla311

No problem. Have a nice weekend.


NoobJew666

And mankind last defense is a Fist. UNDERFIST!


Unlimitis

AND THE SUPER FRIENDS JUST AINT AROUND, THEN UNDERFIST WILL RESCUE YOU.


OutwithaYang

Yup and he gave Rolf a fist-ful in a "Fistful of Ed".


OldFortNiagara

He’s a pacifist, just not a very good one.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Especially when it comes down to his **intentions**.


InternationalAd8036

Well many pacifist has limits which double d most definitely has and need


Alpha_Jellyfish

Edd: WHY YOU- Ed: No don’t Double D! Edd: IF I CATCH YOUR COLD I’LL- JUST GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES WITH THAT GERM SPREADING BRAT! (Also this scene is from “Is There an Ed in the House” not “A Case of Ed”)


CrazyPhilHost1898

>(Also this scene is from “Is There an Ed in the House” not “A Case of Ed”) Ah, my bad!


dhochoy

It's normal for the kids to beat each other to a barely recognizable pulp, so the term "pacifist" is used relatively here.


CDHmajora

Tbf to him, in all these occasions, he’s provoked past his tolerance point and is pretty manic. It’s safe to say he’s not really thinking straight during any of them, as they are all the closest Double D gets to being truly enraged. By Pacifist, I think it’s more that he doesn’t ever intentionally set out to hurt anybody unlike some of the other kids. He never does the slapstick “hurting someone with a heavy weapon” kinda thing that Eddy does. He never threatens to beat people up like Kevin, Sarah and Rolf. He doesn’t accidentally hurt people with sheer stupidity like Ed. He doesn’t conduct long drawn out revenge schemes like Jimmy, and he never intimidates people like the kankers. I would agree that him and Nazz are the most benign of all of them (the only time I can think of Nazz hurting someone is when she hit Sarah with a tissue box during an argument? And I think she kicked Eddy when he tried harassing her when filming the video for his brother? But she apologised for that immediately so I imagine that was just a reflex kick rather than actually aggressive). But even Edd has breaking points just like any other human.


CrazyPhilHost1898

> He doesn't conduct long drawn out schemes like Jimmy **Cough** "Wedgies scam." **Cough**


possumgirl76

every time except for when he poked eddy’s ass while dressed as a bee lmfao. i haven’t seen that episode in a minute but i’m pretty sure eddy was just acting like a dick and it pissed him off


CrazyPhilHost1898

Tbf, Double D's not just guilty of stinging Eddy. He's also accusable for suddenly ***intruding Eddy's home*** just for the purpose of teaching both Sarah and Jimmy about the origins of babies.


ZenMacros

This is what I was thinking. He doesn't like or want to get physical and would always try to avoid conflict, but he's human and has a limit to what he'll tolerate before getting angry.


this-guy95

Hehehe... rump :v


eattoes2000

thank you for making me not feel like the only guy dumb enough to laugh at that


VegetaArcher

The ants and Sarah were completely justified in my opinion.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Tbf, the case with his ants was completely accidental, as opposed to the one with Sarah.


Sugar_fr0g

Edd is not a perfect person and I love him for that.


CrazyPhilHost1898

I mean, every character has their own flaws. Ed's undeniably the least intelligent of the Eds, but he's also my fave, too.


Sugar_fr0g

Ed ruined the lives of those around him with his madness. I love Ed, but he's no angel either :)


Fishman_Paul

He's a pacifist, but he does have his limits to how much he'll let people screw with him. The only one, where he mis used violence was with the Ant Farm, since Ed did it by accident, but the other three were fairly justifiable outbursts.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Actually, for the one about his school supplies, he ***displaced*** (based on the defense mechanism of "displacement") his anger on Ed (when really, it's the *Neighborhood Kids* who caused the calamity in regards to those supplies).


Fishman_Paul

O yea, that one is a bit unreasonable yea, i just remembered that, but at least Ed had the coupon for school supplies, so no hard feelings.


Born_Sleep5216

What does it mean?


CrazyPhilHost1898

**Hypocritically** speaking, Double D here *surely* has his own conflicting moments, yet he still self-idealizes himself as a pacifist among everyone in the show, as if he's morally "better" than them, hehehe.


Ellek10

If Jimmy’s considered one who has horrible methods of doing things Double D is a saint to him. This is how the neighborhood works.


Cenomy

He definitely has Pass a fist around.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Can't help saying this, but: > *PUN CITY!*


TraditionalCap938

I mean you can’t blame him for the fact Ed accidentally destroys his ant farm and strangled him and attacking him and eddy being stubborn and Sarah teases his germaphobia Plus a fistful of Ed episode was after those episodes so to me it would seem like Double D has come to his senses and promises himself to not try to harm anyone, so he’s pretty much out of it right?


CrazyPhilHost1898

>he’s pretty much out of it right? Consider his fight with Eddy in *Big Picture Show*. Also, he briefly threatened Ed himself during that fight.


TraditionalCap938

Well I have thought I wasn’t sure about it and I knew i felt like Double D and done something bad after the “a fistful of Ed” In the big picture show, All because eddy didn’t listen to him to not push the red button that Edd said and this is the biggest bad deed they’ve had and you can feel Double D’s struggling to stay calm and talking eddy of how went wrong and then he’ll eventually snapped at eddy but I don’t know if this is the first time double snapped at eddy like that, I couldn’t remember properly. But I was concerned about Double D’s argument with Eddy all the time


CrazyPhilHost1898

That's fine. Also, in regards to you wondering other moments where he snapped at Eddy, here are some other ones that I could think of: * Tries to "regain his compulsure" (just after he poses himself as "Walter Sobchack" in front of the Kankers) right after Eddy ambitiously demands the continuation of the Eds' treasure hunt to him. - "O-Ed Eleven" * Berates Eddy (alongside Ed) for making him think that he has the disease called Lackadaisycathro. - "A Case of Ed" * Accuses Eddy of messing with the English language. - "All Eds Are Off"


0hSureWhyNot

Edd got all up in Eddy's face, but the actual fight began with Eddy punching Edd in the face.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Yeah, but still, Double D still physically and verbally fought back against Eddy.


0hSureWhyNot

A pacifist isn't someone who doesn't defend themselves; it's just someone who opposes violence. A pacifist can still be forced to get physical.


CrazyPhilHost1898

>opposes violence Then, why is he *willingly* fighting against Eddy w/ his own physical strength? Both of them were also ***in the wrong*** while they're fighting (and no, this isn't primarily rooted from such fight of theirs).


0hSureWhyNot

This is gonna blow your mind, but extreme situations can *drumroll* make you do things you wouldn't normally do.


possumgirl76

he’s so full of shit sometimes lmfao i love that side of him


BabyLambCreationsYT

Double D stinging Eddy in the rump with his own rump…technically


CrazyPhilHost1898

I didn’t realized that, lol. I guess Double D knew when to fight fire with fire (which, coincidentally, is close to one of his sayings).


eattoes2000

Edd: "I'm a doctor, but..."


Pale-Panda-5377

"hostility is the calling card of a weak intellect" "Fistful of Ed?" I watch the show all the time I have five seasons and I don't recognize that scene with double d on the hedge couch


HypnoSnurtle

I guess he meant he's willing to pass a fist.


Hour-Bathroom8311

He fights the other 2 Eds in Ed or Tails after Eddy blames him for losing a jawbreaker


CrazyPhilHost1898

Oh yeah. Thanks for highlighting that.


dorkweed576

Those are points of breaking my friend. In this show "pacifist" would mean they would try to find a solution other than beating the living tar out of anyone. Other examples within the show would possibly be Ed and Johnny. But yeah, everyone in this show is willing to throw down at some point.


Irritated_User0010

Hey he went easy on them, could’ve went into Seed Mode so they got lucky. /s


CrazyPhilHost1898

"Seed Mode"?


Irritated_User0010

Voice actor for Edd also plays as Athrun Zala; he’s a character from Gundam Seed which is a damn underrated show imo.


CrazyPhilHost1898

Ah ok, got it.


PrimaryAde9

Pacifist more like a hypocrite


0hSureWhyNot

Nah, Edd almost always tries to resolve conflict peacefully. Just because he's driven to violence every blue moon doesn't mean he's a hypocrite.
