He’s beyond lame, he’s a Zionist who just sits around all day and starts internet beef with people on his podcast.
Sucks because he used to actually make great videos
Go back and rewatch his old videos (or don't, don't give him the ad revenue), they were never good, we were just immature know it alls that enjoyed the superiority high we got from his bullshit, even before the podcast and the shift to internet drama, he never made "good" content.
I came here to make a snarky comment, but this is better than anything I could've come up with, lol!
The reddit mods that organized people to call CPS on h3 and wrote and pinned instructions on how to perform copyright infringement on his videos should legitimately be unmasked and included in the lawsuit.
The Reddit lawyers arguing fair use obviously did not see the part where the mods literally urged users to intentionally watch the other channels to not give any views to h3, and the other channels that were features had also declared that the purpose was to steal views and nothing else, which is why it was NOT fair use.
Even if they did do that, which is hard to believe considering how much Ethan lies about everything, how is it even a surprise cps appeared after he was talking about the kids getting a dog poop born disease and shit everywhere on the floor in their house.
Man made video talking about how entire house had https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giardia-infection/symptoms-causes/syc-20372786.
Then ranted about how shit was everywhere in the house because of the dogs. Edit, and one of the kids was continously eating the dog shit
https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/streamers/ethan-klein-denims-cps-controversy-explained
Suddenly blamed his enemies ie random redditors, twitch streamers and YouTubers he had beefs with for cps appearing.
Both sides have waaay over-exaggerated it. Ethan said there is shit everywhere while he probably meant that there is just poop on the floor because it is a puppy, and Denimz though there is uncleaned shit everywhere and did the first thing her tiny-ass brain though to do.
This is on Ethan for giving the other side a loaded gun and begging them to shoot him.
As far as I don't think the CPS call should be suable, the copyright definitely is.
They did do it. Before the snark Reddit was removed, there was a pinned thread urging people to only watch his video from a list of channels that said they'd steal views.
Before that there was a pinned thread urging people to mass report him to CPS.
Puppies poop on the floor. Babies crawl on the floor. Preventing both is difficult. The disease in question is fairly common (and often found in babies who crawl on the floor when there are pets), and even if you clean the floor there is a chance spots are missed.
If the mods truly are innocent, I say let that be decided by a jury.
Edit: the kid in question, by the way, did in fact not have Giardia.
He can't say what he did and not expect cps to appear.
It doesn't matter if the kid actually had it after he literally said shit was everywhere on the floor and he thought everyone in the house had it. Especially when saying he had shit everywhere making it sound like it wasn't getting cleaned up.
Hes simply suing because he's lashing out at anyone he can. It's a frivious lawsuit simply to find out anyone he can blame for his failing YouTube show.
Can you please give me your home address? I won't do anything evil with it, I just want to have it in case I don't think your kids are safe. I care about the children.
When you buy new dogs, you can expect there to be shit everywhere, especially if they get sick, CPS is not something you call knowing the full context. The CPS calls were definitely out of hate, not concern, and the calls themselves aren't even the issue. The mods urging people to call, however, is targeted harassment.
The lawsuit has a legitimate basis, and if it truly was a frivolous lawsuit, denims et al. would have filed a motion to dismiss, which they didn't.
Again it's the point he was yelling everyone in the house had the parasite and shit everywhere. He doesn't even have proof who called cps, it's simply him doing a frivious lawsuit.
They are working to have it thrown out
The defendants’ lawyers said the subpoena to unmask moderators should be quashed because Klein can’t prove his case of copyright infringement, but also because revealing such information could put the Does’ in harm’s way. “The balance of equities weighs in favor of Does’ anonymity and quashing TEI’s Subpoenas in their entirety,” the filing said.
Again it's simply Ethan upset people were criticizing him.
The lawsuit is about the copyright infringement, not the CPS call. The mods organized for users to perform copyright infringement. The CPS calls are just a side thing as a "also, these people are horrible".
Also, the ones trying to throw it out are the Reddit lawyers, not Demin's lawyers. Reddit is defending Reddit. Also, there being no proof is a lie. Unless Reddit deleted the data entirely, which would be illegal, there definitely is a deleted thread on Reddit where mods urged people to commit copyright infringement, because I personally saw it.
I'm 100% for encouraging people to use other means to view the content of people who they don't agree with. It's absolutely a shit system where you have to contribute to someone's views and engagement just to be critical of them.
You already can view his content without contributing. Just use an adblocker. But when you encourage others to watch people who steal his content and don't make fair use content you are instead intentionally causing harm to the creator, which the creator has a right to sue over.
So people can be critical and not contribute. This is about intentional harm and getting caught doing it.
Ya I don't agree with that. But I also don't agree with giving a shit if content creators get paid. They contributed to so much of the issues we have today. They can all get fucked. They're the worst and if the Internet becomes a hostile place to those parasites we'll all be better off
Hello Ethan, I didn't know you were on Lemmy.
Got to say, I'm not a fan, you seem pretty psychotic.
Although I guess you could be a h3 fan, but that might actually be even more disturbing.
I haven't watched h3 since before he started his podcast, so I am not a fan. That doesn't mean his lawsuit is frivolous. The mods are 100% in the wrong.
I thought Denims did the CPS call? 🤡
everyone is at fault except for me Ethan
I can’t keep up with nor find the room to care about YouTuber drama lately
I think you mean ever. Fuck YT drama
Good luck unmasking me, I'm autistic AF!
Whenever you need to sign out your government issued Tylenol, we'll know who you are motherfucker, "Lexam".
Fuck Reddit and all of the mods.
I'm a reddit mod xD (for a few very small subs (I basically don't do anything except delete spam)(also yes fuck reddit))
Who?
Reddit mods
Ethan Klein is a reddit mod?
Ethan Klein is a very stupid Youtuber who got popular for his video "vape nation". I used to watch him. Then he turned into a big ol fuckwad.
Sounds like he was a fuckwad from the start. The first clue should have been that he had an online video titled "vape nation."
Well, I'm kind of in the same boat as the commenter you're replying to. It was a video made to be goofy and make fun of vapers.
But yeah, he turned into a fuckwad
Lmao you're right, but it was tongue in cheek and actually pretty funny. But yeah.....now he sucks.
I mean.......I've never heard of him, but if you say he hosts a show called "Vape Nation" I already assume he's a douche.
It was just one sarcastic video posted like 10 years ago or so. (In the same vein as a Mega64 sketch).
Oh, Reddit. As if you hadn’t eaten enough of your yourself horny…
Reminds me of when the Klan we’re on Jerry Springer and someone tried to unmask them and that seemed to be the absolute worst thing in the world to them. Letting people see them for who they really are.
Not hateful people — not just Klan, or Reddit mods for that matter — operate more openly. It seems the one hateful group still terrified of exposure is child predators. Release the damn Epstein files! No, I don’t think Reddit mods are on it. They do defend child predators on Reddit, but Epstein only rubbed elbows with the rich and powerful, not the pseudo powerful.

Fart Huffman is gonna argue that he's definitely on the list with that as the reasoning. He isn't though, not because he's probably not a pedo but because he's a worthless little nothing those people wouldn't have been interested in.
