Ethan Klein (H3H3 Podcast) weighs in on the Ed Sheeran/Macklemore story - sh.itjust.works
sh.itjust.works
Pulled an old photo of Macklemore from 2014. What was Ethan Klein doing in 2014? Running a reddit account where he cosplayed as a pedophile and routinely wore black face. Certainly this shows how pro-Palestine Ethan Klein truly is /s

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?

    Wow so now my inbox is getting brigaded because you came into a community about a podcast to shit post about the host. You can not like ethan, that’s fine. You can criticize the content of the podcast (especially current episodes, not a cherry picking of stuff from half a decade ago), that’s fine. But I asked you politely for days to find another place for personal criticism of a person instead of cherry-picking specifically aligned talking points, and you did the cowardly “I’m just posting things he said, what’s wrong with things he said?” You don’t participate in the podcast, you’re coming in overlapping with a crowd that HAS crossed from criticism to harassment, and I’m squashing it before it spirals. If you hate the podcast, block the community and go about your day. Don’t go crying about it and spreading my name to people who think they’re freedom fighters by spamming my inbox.

    That’s the comment I hit the ban button about, but the entire thread is the evidence. Which is posted in the ban message. You have selective attention to try to farm outrage, it colors what you say and what you hear, and I think you follow a pattern that is actively participating in the decline of discourse, where you pick a side then selectively use things to just reinforce your incorrect points.

    Edit: Providing context, I assumed people would follow the link in the posted ban message: https://lemmy.world/post/51982261

      you can go cry censorship in whatever circle-jerk space you land in.

      Hey, I’m just doing what you told me to do.

      You can not like ethan, that’s fine.

      Clearly that is not fine.

      not a cherry picking of stuff from half a decade ago)

      Like Ethan did with Macklemore?

      You don’t participate in the podcast

      You don’t know that.

      you’re coming in overlapping with a crowd that HAS crossed from criticism to harassment

      Where am I harassing anyone by posting in the community?

        I’m blocking you because this is absurd, and thanks for linking my account so I could get a “KYS Power tripper” message in my inbox which I reported. This is the mentality that gets CPS called to harass kids, and has skulls sent to houses.

      For the record, the main link in the post leads to the full discussion. I don’t think additional context is helping you out here.

      , where you pick a side then selectively use things to just reinforce your incorrect points.

      If my points are incorrect, feel free to correct them. You said yourself that what I was saying wasn’t untrue:

      I didn’t say what you said was untrue
