It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He's responding to a shit ton of anti-zionist twitter accounts through his instagram stories and throwing a tantrum about them. Go to r/h3snark to see more of them

Love to see "unemployed" used as a slur. Really shows off the ideology pretty easily!

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 65 points 4 days ago

Esp since his career started from reacting to other people's content for money.

Like my guy, you're famous because you watched a video of some guy named "Joey Salads", who pisses in his own mouth, do some cringe pranks. How fuckin productive do you think you were?

"luxury is when 5 pound bag of cheese snacks"

Motherfucker, that's exactly the problem, we don't want 2kg bags of snacks, we want fucking housing and a stop to genocide

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 53 points 4 days ago

I also want healthy, nourishing food, but for Some Reason, it costs extra to buy produce that isn't loaded up with chemicals.

Listen up jimbo you have your Jalapano Poppers, what more do ya need?

[–] Roonerino@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Okay but also, 5 pounds? Is that a thing? Wal-Mart isn't my closest grocery store so I haven't been there in years, and I've seen the two-ish gallon barrels of cheese puffs sure, but 5 fucking pounds of a food that's mostly air? How big is that container?

They sell it in the home insulation aisle. Source: I'm Spanish and never been to a walmart

"Laziest, unemployed, softest losers" says 39 year old whose entire life revolves around internet drama

[–] dragongloss@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And his crew does pretty much all the labor to make his show run, while he contributes nothing to the conversation and Hila barely says a word all episode. Why is Hila even there? I'm not saying this because I even like the people that actually make the show. But, that crew could all leave, make their own show on internet drama, and be successful.

Once again liberals try to fit tankies in the 4chan basement dweller box. 5 pound cheese puffs, mountain dew, and hentai? Come on, you've never even met a tankie. We eat MICROWAVED REFRIED BEANS, SLAM ENERGY DRINKS, AND ENJOY FURRY PORN. GET IT FUCKING STRAIGHT LOSER.

  • Primarily makes reaction videos
  • Historically does not research topics before speaking on them
  • Stopped making creative content on his main channel once the podcast was lucrative
  • Mistreats employees (caught on hot mic doing so)
  • Can't handle criticism

Also, not that this is even a negative thing on its own, but it's bold of someone who struggles with weight and is an unhealthy food enjoyer to shame someone for food they buy. It's a complete non-issue and not reflective of someone's character, but of course, Ethan has to find any angle to attack someone he feels threatened by

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago (3 children)

He apparently does not talk about how he lost all the weight that he lost, but it's pretty clear the subtext is he used something like Ozempic.

Now, I think that's great. Ozempic is doing wonders for people I know, and I support his use of it, but it's also very clear that he believes or has believed in the past that it is a form of cheating. It's also entirely possible that he believes he'll be accused of cheating. He is so critical of other people's weight that, too then openly admit his struggle with weight loss and the necessity of something like Ozempic would make him look like a total ass, unless he also acknowledged and apologized for all of the hateful things he said about overweight people in the past.

I don't think that's very on-brand for him though, so we won't see that any time soon.

hes going after "tankies" who dared to care about Palestine on twitter instead of idk the legions of real fking nazis on the same fucking site?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 62 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yup. He has a persecution complex. Any form of criticism tossed his way is an unjust and unprovoked attack on himself.

He recently had a child with his IDF queen.

My theory is the man is part of a psyop and doesn’t even know it.

[–] GottiGoFast@hexbear.net 67 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Politics aside this guy's content fucking sucks. Like I used to try getting into his stuff but he's such an uninteresting hack. Like I rather sit through fucking Joe Rogan somehow.

[–] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago

I remember when he used to be relevant. Made some skits that were kinda funny for the time. He was always on that "anti-SJW" grift tho. Not surprising at all that he swung this way.

I feel like "diet mountain dew" is a dig at Hasan

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 51 points 4 days ago

It's pretty apparent that he has never had any respect for Hassan. The only thing he respected was the size of the audience that came with him when he was on Ethan's shows.

[–] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago

Of all the critiques to make about Hassan, lol.

Libs are so fucking dumb.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

By the way, his crusade against mean tankies started because he honest belived that 9/11 happen because Bin laden was jelous of the USA

And then he started attacking everyone including hasan for being mean to him

Imagine being so Burgerbrained that you take Dubya's speeches at face value. mission-accomplished

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 56 points 4 days ago (1 children)

LOL all of that message just applies perfectly to what he's doing to those accounts right now? Except he's a grown man with a wife and kid(s?)? projection

Oh sorry, I forgot, if you believe in nothing then the fact that you're not doing anything useful is fine, but people who do believe in something need to be wielding AK-47s and fighting in the jungle 24/7 or else they're larping.

Capitalism's strongest soldier here being the one who owns no capital and produces no value. Some kinda projection about him realizing he is useless to society

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago (6 children)

I mean, he sucks but he quite literally own capital with the podcast and all that, and it does make money obviously. It isn't a very significant amount, akin to a small business tyrant, but let's be real here.

What I wouldn't do to be unemployed, soft, and have the freedom to play games and post on twitter all day.

Podcasters accusing other people of being lazy and entitled is so funny to me.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Being unemployed is more productive than being a podcaster/YouTube shitposter because you're not actively distributing fake news.

Right now he's using his extremely parasocial audience to crowdsource "tankies were mean to me on twitter" stories

you know, when i was a younger, worse person living a different gender, i ran into a skit he did with uhh, filthy frank i think? and i thought it was funny

he did like, two more okay videos with kinda funny concepts before pivoting to a drama guy, fucking boring. i couldn't invest myself in youtuber drama. Then that inane fucking podcast

i realized he sucked pretty early, i just kept hoping maybe the bad take machine would do some funny stuff a bit more, but nah that idiot knows how his bread is buttered and it's not being funny or interesting, but being an incredibly deranged unselfaware narcissist so whatever

I’m sorry but the “softest, laziest” and especially the “cheese puff” shit is all projection

[–] pastalicious@hexbear.net 36 points 4 days ago

Ethan is exactly the kind of guy who gets his brain broken by the weaponized misuse of terms like Tankie. Haven’t thought about this dude in like 4 years but this is exactly what I expected.

I don't know or care who this is, but apparently he's concerned the revolution isn't coming fast enough. I also think so yeah good point.

He thinks of himself as a comedian BTW. Just recycling the Boomer "lazy basement dwelling kids" griping unironically. If he weren't such a fan of killing Palestinian kids it would be pitiable.
