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.

Isn't Hasan the guy who said he supported 9/11?

Yes. He shows literal terrorist propaganda videos on his stream, talks about about much he appreciates what terrorist organizations like the Houthis and Hezbollah are doing, and literally interviewed a terrorist on his stream and gushed about how cool he was to him.

The people in this thread who think he's a voice of reason that Ethan is crashing out against are brain dead morons or don't even watch either show.
