This isn't my effort post so it might be against the rules. I'm just linking and copying two posts from subreddits that have compiled all that has happened over the past week.

First, here's a thread of all recent H3 controversies, sorted by date. There is a lot in there, so I'll be copying the ones related to this topic.

October 15th

Ethan says 100% of the Jews he knows are struggling after Oct 7th and says Zionist is a slur

Ethan posts about defending "antisemitic terrorists"

October 16th

Ethan makes a video dedicated to canceling and de-platforming Hasan Piker, admits he wants to deplatform Hasan on Twitch for "interviewing a terrorist", and shows an unlisted clip of Hasan titled "HamasAbi"

October 17th

Hasan says Ethan is too focused on his personal feelings and calls him self-centered

Ethan calls Hasan's stream "vile embarrassing trash"

October 19th

Ethan posts video titled, "Twitch has a major problem"

Frogan provides context for the "Habbibi pass" tier list - A bunch of Arab streamers made a tier list on who had the Habbibi pass, the controversy was around the lowest tier which was titled ' Loves Sabra' i.e. likes Sabra hummus. Ethan claims this is antisemitic and a dog-whistle about Jewish people.

Ethan posts about Yahya Sinwar

Ethan compares Jewish streamer Raffoulticket to Blaire White and Candace Owens for defending the Arab streamers

October 20th

Frogan responds to Ethan's claims around hummus/"Loves Sabra"

Hasan debunks the Hummus/Sabra debate, says it's NOT antisemitism

October 21st

H3 Podcast covers Twitch, Frogan and antisemitism, says Twitch CEO Dan Clancy must resign and puts Nazi Symbols on Twitch CEO in his YouTube thumbnail

He successfully gets the Arab streamers banned off Twitch.

October 22nd

Ethan posts video titled 'I Won't Let Hasan Piker Lie About Me To His Audience, then lies about not knowing Destiny, says the Left is eating itself

Ethan claims he "conceded" on far-left ideals such as letting the Palestinians have a state

October 23rd

Hasan calls Ethan Islamophobic

Ethan makes an instagram story about nmplol

Hasan says Rashid is not a terrorist, just like Hila is not a terrorist

Hila admitted to raiding homes in Ramallah and move from her assigned desk job into combat roles because she was “bored”. BadEmpanada HAS MADE a video titled 'Hila Klein is a Terrorist' due to her time in the IDF where she asked to be transferred to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, performed logistical duties for the IDF terrorist organization, and volunteered to tag along during an IDF terrorist attack against a Palestinian house in Ramallah.

Ethan targets Emma from Majority Report - LINK 1, LINK 2, LINK 3, LINK 4

The way things work he can come off as a grifter. But that's part of living under capitalism. We are at the end of the day, all capitalist subjects. All of us in the West in some way contribute to the worst elements of capitalism (for example how were the materials for your tech items mined? Not humanely most likely and definitely not at fair compensation to the workers or country of origin). This applies to Hasan as well.

Lastly the reason I give Hasan a pass is that while he will take a moderate approach when he can without sacrificing his ideals he will. For example raising money for Ukraine. We all know Ukraine is being used by the US but raising money for Ukrainians is not a ethically objectionable thing but will get moron centrists to stfu about you being wrong (not even justifying ) the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On the other hand Hasan might have torched his career by being 100% clear about the isntrael genocide. He even got booted out of the DNC for this. But he continues to call the genocide a genocide and the Jeremy Corbin style antisemitism smear campaign has begun.

Agreed, that’s why I really take no issue with him, I just don’t give his brand much of a thought. I appreciate him for what he is, but don’t invest much into him or other politic streamers at that. Their universe annoys me and this is just new age tabloid shit.
