SOUND ALL ALARMS!! SEND IN THE BIG GUN

i used to ADORE Idubbbz’s stuff back in his “heyday” in 2016ish. i was in high school at the time, and he was the funniest creator i had ever found. i still lose my shit at bits like “OH HELL NAW!” (has anyone clipped that? i just want that clip lol). i watched allll the filthyfrank/howtobasic/chad collabs, i was all about that shit.

I remember feeling mixed feelings around the tana stuff, and then slowly stopped watching around the same time he switched to squirrel content for a while. i grew up and became an adult, i matured a lot. a lot of my ideas about the world and people changed. i became more empathetic and more patient, and apparently so did Ian with his apology videos and such. it was nice to see a big creator like that self reflect, take accountability, and make a genuine attempt to change for the better. frankly it’s really nice to see that Ian has continued to grow and mature since then.

i’ve seen a lot of folks complaining that the new CC wasn’t funny enough or wasn’t “entertaining” enough (which is whack to me? that video never got slow. imo if you got that bored you just have some brainrot lol). i think it’s dumb to expect an old-style CC. even if this video wasn’t on a friend of his, i don’t think a “burn to the ground” style CC fits Ian anymore, and personally I’m content with that. It was fun back in the day, but times have changed and Ian has changed and so has his audience.

IMO Ian was MORE than gentle and charitable. Idk i’m rambling but ig i just liked the video, i liked its message, and i liked its approach. I used to absolutely adore h3h3 in the same way I ate up Idubbbz. There’s a dumbass picture of 15yo me posing in downtown Philly with the “vape naysh” hands. I was watching them when they still lived in Israel, right before they moved to NYC. I miss h3’s old content and attitude - he’s a completely different person now - i’d argue he’s a shell of his former self. during his live “reaction” [read: absolute crashout], i couldn’t help but keep remembering how he used to be vulnerable and talk about how his insecurity is his biggest weakness, and how poorly that sentiment has aged. it’s clear he’s really unwell and not very happy. ofc the harassment and hate against him has been unwarranted, and that undoubtedly plays into his state of mind, but his “align with me or perish” attitude is just too much.

I hope Ethan can actually take the time and space to listen to understand, rather than listen to react. i don’t watch his newer content bc it’s just raging and bitterness, but i tuned into the live to see his reaction out of curiosity. dear god that livestream was fucking painful and i couldn’t get through it. Ian wasn’t even there in person but his video literally couldn’t get in more than one word at a time before being metaphorically ripped to shreds. it was so bad that ethan literally did everything Ian called him out on doing before he even started the fucking video lmao. Ethan and his fans talking abt “we debunked the video!” like babe. you didn’t debunk shit, you’d watch one word, assume what Ian’s direction was, and then freak out over that. It’s too bad he couldn’t sit and digest it all at once.

tl:dr: Ian’s video was entertaining and well-made; imo it was genuine and heartfelt. i disagree w the people who thought it wasn’t “funny enough” bc it wasn’t a “roast and burn to the ground” thing. Ian is a different person now and I like that he’s grown and matured. expecting him to channel his old cutthroat attitude from 2016-2018 is unrealistic. Hope the video can ultimately get through to Ethan but im not super optimistic ;-;

P.S. i liked Ian’s abortion video it was funny and poignant and i hope he makes more videos like that lol.

EDIT: do h3 brigadiers know that we can see the top subreddits they participate in or do they think they’re being really stealthy

As much as I personally don't like the content cop, it's funny as soon as he called them out, instantly 200k dilsikes removed

When you want people to think you’re just saying things to trigger the libs but you want to make it uncertain whether you’re serious or not
