I will die on this hill. Hasan, Denims, Frogan - they all deserve consequences. I've done a deep dive on Hasan's Turkish Nationalist millionaire father (go check his thread for that).
There is no reason to excuse Ethan's behaviour. He's a weird freak. He might be a paedophile. He might not be, but he's posted enough weird shit and said enough weird shit that it's not unreasonable to be suspicious of him.
Might as well set up a picnic, 'cause I will die with you on that same hill. Hasan & his orbiters are genuinely awful, anti-American, Islamic terrorism supporters - but that doesn't excuse Ethan's
(still growing) laundry list of side eye-able behaviors.
Ethan usually has the more reasonable perspective on things like Israel, but he's enough of a weirdo that he makes people like Hasan seem like they're the reasonable one
Making questionable people look better by comparison almost seems to be Ethan's specialty. After all, he made "I identify as a chicken nugget" batsh!t bipolar/borderline 5150'd on the regular
Trisha Paytas seem like a reasonable person. & I'm not just saying this 'cause I was a Frenemies/Trisha fan. Ethan's post-Frenemies harassment campaign against Trisha was really something else. During his podcast, he'd actively encourage the H3 fans to fedpost on the Trisha snark sub and wish her ill. Trisha talked about the sub negatively effecting her mental health, & he still pushed. I believe at one point, Hila's family actually stopped talking to Hila & Ethan, due to anger at Ethan for harassing their then-pregnant (& high risk!) daughter in law.
I imagine Ethan and HIla probably do know who called, but used this to frame at as 'harassment'. That optically is far better than them being labeled as neglectful parents. It's a smart move because we are never going to get the CPS worker or reporter's side of the story. Most of the used up whores that make up there fan base are to retarded to question it and will eat it up.
The fans with an IQ above room temperature that questioned Ethan's narrative (for example, when Ethan implied Bad Empanada
was telling the truth, when he claimed to be the one who made the call) were banned. H3 fandom is not a place that tolerates dissent.
Like I've said before, I really think one of the main reasons the current H3 viewing numbers are so low is that Ethan banhammered one too many subscribers for disagreeing with him (on some topic or another) & accidentally killed off the fanbase he had left. He was always ban happy for stupid sh!t - but that wasn't an issue when each episode pulled in 50,000+ viewers & was actually popular/trending/growing. When the fandom started to dwindle, he never adjusted accordingly, and after one too many on-air shitfits that led to viewer comments he disagreed with - he banned the subscribers he had left.
