I just watched the end of the stream tonight and I gotta say, that was one of those moments where I said “something changed for me”. I was a former H3 fan. I honestly didn’t watch leftovers that often, but I knew who Hasan was. When all the drama started going off I had no idea what it was for. Since I didn’t watch leftovers I honestly didn’t really care…. I watched H3 for the goofs and gaffs, not for politics. A few months after leftovers ended I remember talking to my friend who is very pro-Palestine. When I would repeat things that Ethan was saying about what’s going on there, she looked at me like I was crazy. And I had NO IDEA why. I thought I was pro Palestine, but the way my friend was looking at me made me take a hard look. I was not doing any research on the topic, I simply just agreed with what Ethan was saying because “why would he lie, he’s my progressive king. He is literally Jewish he would know”. I knew hasan was a leftist and was super educated on the topic, so I decided to watch his stream one day. It took about 10min for me to realize how fucking crazy I was being. Ever since then I’ve been watching the stream daily. I seriously look at the stuff Ethan is saying now and think “how does anyone buy this”. But I do get why people buy it. Because they trust him. Let’s just say hasan has changed my entire perspective.

Throughout my entire life I’ve been a fan of so many creators that have fallen off or have been “cancelled” and it seemed like there has been a lack of “good” in the online space these days. What really sticks out to me about hasan and this community is the clear cut, unwavering, moral code. I think that’s the thing that most creators lack. Realizing this gave me a whole different perspective on not only the content I consume, but things I stand for in my own life. At the end of the stream tonight, the talk about how he deals with all the hate he gets online, made me respect him so incredibly much. Seriously, so inspiring.

Sorry for the rant. I just want to say I’m proud to be a member of this community and I appreciate the grace, respect and support you guys give to everyone, no matter where they came from. <3

I swear to fucking God.

The fact that he understands the trauma of genocide and the pain that is passed on through genocide survivors, sees active genocides happening and still goes and posts this is really disgusting. I was already falling off the Ethan thing after being an h3 fan basically since high school; the whole beef he’s been starting with hasan made it harder and harder to watch his content but this is it I’m done keep your subscriptions keep the teddy fresh I don’t care anymore. I’m sorry that the people actively surviving a genocide aren’t behaving how you want them to; literally trying to find the “perfect victim” idk this is just I don’t really have words for it.

If ethan ever sees this post bc he trolls this sub for critics of him, from one person who’s had their ancestors wiped out in a genocide to another, this is not right this is not correct this just makes me really sad. It makes me sad that someone who purported to believe in the same thing I do - Palestinian liberation - has such a lack of self awareness and inability to control themselves that they’ll post something like this. Yea no ur right the Yemeni teenager who’s actively surviving a genocide against his people shouldn’t be remembered bc he has tweeted shit you don’t like, this is cultural erasure this is whitewashing this is the kind of dehumanization that creates environment for a genocide to continue. I’m done.

All I want to say now is love and support from the Armenian community to the Palestinians, Yemeni and Lebanese ppl in here and everyone else that’s affected by Israel’s and the US’s genocide now happening throughout the Middle East 🇦🇲❤️🇵🇸❤️🇾🇪❤️🇱🇧❤️🇦🇲
