I was going to say this exactly. It's really funny to see, but Ethan is going harder on Ian that I've ever seen him go on anyone before, and with very personal stuff too. The IBS thing was vile lmao, and Ian didn't do anything equivalent to it in his videos on Ethan, in the sense that he didn't mock Ethan for any conditions he might have, like his Tourettes. Ethan is acting exceptionally sadistic towards him and it really comes across like he was just itching to have an excuse to mock him.
It could be that after the video dropped (or really after the CPS thing happened) Ethan just went scorched earth. He probably heard and saw all the claims but just ignored them.
Ian tried to paint Ethan as a crazy person by removing the context of the clips used in the Content Cop video and when called out on it, he justified the CPS call and kept shitting on him about it. Ethan's reaction is completely reasonable.
Arabs don't even like Turks as well, because of the Ottomans owning them for a few centuries.
So you're saying Ethan is.... jewish?
I believe you're both right and wrong. Right in the sense that Ethan was likely exaggerating the level of their friendship, but wrong in the sense that they were never actually friends. You don't stick your neck out for someone when most of the Internet is on their case unless you like them. Going to bat for them COULD have had negative consequences on his career - and nobody is going to risk that for someone they made money with one time a few years ago.
But would you do the same to your real, good friends, in front of potentially about 1,000,000 people?
I mean I see this perspective, but then again there is an "et tu, brute" angle to this whole interaction. Like being hurt by someone you considered genuinely close is a classic way of eliciting maximum, furious venom from a person.
I've never watched that show but it just occurred to me that a Harley/LA Beast crossover for charity would probably be a lot of fun and make Harley look good PR wise. They both are food dudes with normie audiences so there's probably a lot of overlap, it would take like a few days tops, and nobody would get hurt. Actually, Anisa and her husband would probably get butthurt but Ian's used to that.
I would be SEETHING if a friend of mine made a shitty internet hit piece on me just so he could go and get pegged by another ex-close friend of mine who I had a very public and heated "break-up" with, along with an on-going feud, all while trying to claim it's "because he CARES about me" fuck off with this bullshit, I think H3 are well and truly justified here.
I disagree, introducing people to your kids isn't really something people do lightly. I think people without kids in this thread really don't understand Ethan's mindset. Plus, Ethan and Hila have always had Ian's back, even when it was a risky move for them to do so.
If that person joined in on trying to gaslight, and took the side of people that were trying to get my kids taken away? Trying to get children taken away, because they think I disagree with them politically and won't slob Hasan off and screech about Palestine constantly?
I don't know it could be, but it could also just because he feels betrayed. If someone I considered a friend, that I publicly backed, vouched for, and gave him access to my massive platform so he can lie to millions of people in an attempt clean up his reputation decided to snake me so he can be buddy buddy with my biggest enemies I too would go hard. Ethan has not even gone very hard, he has only essentially repeated what has been gleaned from this thread and posted on Twitter and Reddit. I'm sure he could say some very personal offline dirt if he wanted, just look at all we learned from Jessica and she was only around them for a couple hours.
My wife saw that clip right after it happened and gasped and immediately got sad. She felt sorry for Idubbbz for the longest time because of it because that clip proved to her that Ansia likes to hurt and humiliate him. According to her there's no way a woman who loves her husband would ever reveal anything like that about him on a public livestream. I agree with her of course but it's nice to have a woman's perspective on Anisa
I think they were friends, but they also could have easily viewed one another as stepping stones when they were going through their 'empathy' transition. I do think Idubbbz grifted heavily off of Ethan, as well as Hasan Piker. The CC2 parties was another way of getting in the Hasan orbiter community, by basically bribing Hasan and Co. to like Ian. And H3 often did more promotional work than Ian or Anissa combined
Man isn't a myth, he isn't even a rumor, cause I've never heard of him.
Anisa really behaves like some bug creature from outer space. I'm glad your wife has normal human emotions.
