I’ve been posting things that Ethan Klein (host of the H3H3 Podcast) has said and done into the H3H3 Podcast community and the mod decided that relevant content wasn’t good enough to participate.

I’ll take my community ban and won’t fight it, but it’s the very definition of petty mod behavior.

This was the comment that got me banned:

I clearly know enough about Ethan Klein and the H3H3 Podcast to be a participant in some form.

If what I’m posting is the truth, why is it such a problem to post it here? Doesn’t Ethan stand by what he says and does?

    Velma didn’t do it; I get a lot of drive-by hate just for liking the H3 podcast, but the post here linking to my account caused someone else to send it. I get like 4-5 of them a week, usually “I’m a baby killer” or “I murder Palestenian babies” or whatever. The one today just linked here.

      I guess Ethan is a Zionist? I’m not plugged into the YouTube creator/influencer world but I have a vague idea of who he is

        He’s said he thinks what Israel is doing is a genocide, and he thinks west bank settlers are valid military targets. He has actually voted against Bibi as a dual Israeli citizen.

        That being said, he’s Jewish, his wife grew up in Israel including mandatory IDF service, and he was upset at Hamas after the October 7 attacks which directly impacted his family, so to the “leftist” community he’s a zionist, pedophile, baby killer, yadda yadda. It’s proof that the internet has lost the ability to appreciate complex nuanced takes, especially around Jewish people.
