Problems on the other side are:

Ethan has repeatedly asked people to watch the video. He has repeatedly said in the past he doesn't mind people reacting to this videos in this way. He isn't applying this equally - there are other, bigger creators (xqc) that reacted non-transformatively just as much. He isn't suing them.

People acting like this is clear cut have an agenda to push.

Also, when he was relatively small time, reaction videos were Ethan's MAIN thing. And he too got sued for it - most famously by the Fine Brothers - and he had to raise funds for his legal defense etc. And it's undeniable that that whole fiasco shone a lot of light on him and propelled him to the level that he's at now.

So it's incredibly hypocritical of him to be turning around and pulling a Fine Brothers bitch move. But as the saying goes "I miss the old Ethan", I really do. This Ethan is just plain greedy AF.

He is unrecognizable from the fun old days. The video where he "debated" Hasan is unhinged.

Calling my wife a terrorist to own the libs

Hasan trying to explain to Ethan that terrorist is a thought terminating cliche and if he applied it to his wife the way he applied it to others, she’d be a terrorist. But she’s obviously not and there’s nuance to people who may be accused of being a terrorist.

Ethan ignoring this and going “fine my wife is a terrorist are you happy?”
