I thought it would be cool to discuss Ethan and Hila's content, especially since there's a lot of controversy rn

Dan has mentioned that h3h3 is one of his favourite current content creators and I wondered what you guys thought of them?

I personally really, really enjoy their content. I like the videos of Ethan and Hila together over just Ethan on his own, and my personal favourites have to be the Prank and Joey Salads videos :)

Ooh I love h3h3!
I think they really found an untapped market in the slightly awkward, internet-culture memeable (??) humour. Similar-ish to their audience's capability to make memes out of aspects of their videos I think is what accounted to their massive growth and audience retention/interest. If you haven't already I'd check out their subreddit because its really quite hilarious :lol:
My fave videos would have to be Vape Nation and Ethan joins a 90's boyband. I honestly think their second channel is just as good as their main which is slightly unusual, youtuber-wise.

I don't agree with everything they do, and I'm still unsure of how to feel about the latest video on Casey Neistat, partially because I am bias towards the arguments on Casey's behalf.
I know that its in no vloggers responsibility to promote any political agenda, but its ignorant for Ethan to suggest that being complacent in political matters doesn't affect the final political outcomes.
I know that this has nothing to do with their content and I actually agree with some of the points he makes in the video, something about it just rubbed me the wrong way :?

I really, really like their videos, especially when they're taking the piss out of dumb YT videos, but I can't fully rock with them until they keep the N-word out their mouths. And yeah some of their political/ social views are shitty too.

I felt a bit sorry for them because it seems half their fanbase comes /the_donald sub from reddit and at one point they had loads of anti Semitic comments until they made a post about it.

What do you guys think of the podcast?

I watched the one with pewdiepie and really liked it - Ethan did seem to be sucking up to Felix a bit though, and I wish Hila was involved too

i only just subbed to them after i saw felix hanging out with them in LA
i think how they call out certain people and diff trends on youtube is pretty funny.

Im hoping to get more into them but they do seem like very genuine people

I hate this trend going on right now. It's not as bad as the whole pewdiepie controversy, at least his point is a bit more deliberate, but damn. I wish all these guys would stop whining at the tiniest bit of criticism. :sideeye:

The audio of this video could be replaced with the audio of a baby crying and I wouldn't notice a difference. 'Wah wah MTV isn't ~edgy~ (read: catering exclusively to white cishet males) anymore! We need more content of guys harassing shop assistants about condoms instead of women speaking their minds!'

And I'm sure people can try really hard to play this off as 'satire' but I'm not fucking buying it. :sideeye:

Phil DeFranco ranted about the same MTV video on Twitter, proving himself to still be the ignorant bigot he used to be. All these fucking white guys man :roll:

Yeah. If this is the first trend of 2017 then I've already lost all hope for this year as well.

But honestly, things were going pretty well for a while on the front of people not taking bullshit anymore, especially in the online sphere. The backslash of the white edgelords complaining because they dont own the world anymore was supposed to happen at some point and nobody can convince me that this has nothing to do with Trump winning the election

(I just realized I only come to this forum to complain about things not deppy related anymore I'm sorry)

It definitely has to do with Trump's election and just the rise of conservative and alt-right worldwide. All these bigots who were 'afraid' to speak their mind for the last 5 years because people started educating themselves and others now suddenly feel validated and safe again, it's seriously disgusting. Don't trust anyone at this point.

The worst is how the left/progressives are supposed to be understanding and respectful of these people and not call them out because it will 'alienate' people. I fully admit a lot of bullshit discourse goes on in our movements but when did calling out someone for being racist/sexist/homophobic etc. become bullying? Why is that met with 'this is why no one supports you and voted Trump?' but when they're the ones threatening people and vomiting their backwards ideas into the world (that are genuinely harmful to many people) it's all okay because 'freedom of speech' :sideeye:

It kills me to see YouTubers with such huge audiences play into this mindset. But hey we're not even a month into 2017 yet and I already have four channels on my cancelled list, so if people showing their true colors is gonna be good for something it's opening up my eyes and avoiding spending anymore time on these fucks.

Right ok done with getting political and shit for the night and time to hide in a cave watching Deppy vids or something.

Hi guys! resurrecting this thread because I need y'all's help... so I used to watch h3h3 a lot but drifted away about a year and a half ago, but I came across their videos recently and can't decide if I should start watching again? Do they still make good content, or have they started acting like asshats like so many other YouTubers lately? I just watched his "why is Donald Trump so triggered?" vid and laughed but I don't know if I should bother continuing (I'm so curious... like... why the spiderman outfit?)

I used to like their content except for when Ethan whined about *crazy SJWs,* but I didn't mind overlooking it because it was never directed at actual valid subjects if that makes sense (like, the Hugh Mungus thing was hilarious) and he never was shy about pointing out racist/misogynistic things at the expense of alienating a potential audience? But I don't want to watch him if he started becoming an asshole?

Also I want more Hila.

I wonder if Dan is still a fan of h3. I can’t even tell at this point if Ethan is censoring his beliefs to not anger his right wing fans or he is actually becoming right wing himself. I’ve had to unfollow from everything, the channel has turned into “SJW’s ARE BAD.COM”.

the alt right edgelords bring in money so a lot of the "i'm liberal! i'm totally neutral, i'm rational!" creators go for them more, but at the same time they all defend the same terrible right wing beliefs/people and just throw in a "but i don't HATE trans people, be whatever you want!" at the end to shield themselves from being called out. they view really harmful, right wing talking points on the same level as the EVIL SJW CULTURAL MARXIST CONSPIRACY of like... maybe listening to what a minority has to say about if something is offensive to them rather than deciding for yourself.

honestly i've never liked this guy so i avoid what i can about him, which is hard on reddit because ofc, but i saw this video lately that made me realise he's either 1) intentionally more harmful than i thought or 2) spouts a load of things that aren't true and doesn't understand how to think logically and check sources on whatever he's talking about


(i'm on mobile and dk how to make a youtube link work this way oops)

honestly a lot of the time i see him coming up is because he's mad that the bad nasty feminists are attacking!!! someone for doing something they don't agree, but he makes a lot of money off of ridiculing people on the internet for doing things he doesn't agree with and making sure every 15 year old edgelord harasses them out of existence

it's okay because left youtube is thriving and remains funnier than any "ahhh DAE SJWs have gone too far?" meme man

What the hell happened to these people? Now Ethan is out there tweeting sympathy for Roseanne for having her show canceled after she went on a racist rant on twitter.

hey, if he didn't make it clear that people are so dumb and triggered and sensitive these days then alt right fanboys might forget about him while they watch other people's sjw cringe compilations

he defended jontron after his white supremacist outbursts and defended idubbz using the n word because it's 'just a joke!!' and does a lot of dodgy shit like that but adds just enough "i'm not racist though, i just associate with many wannabe fascists and actively court an alt right audience" so that he won't be called out on it and stays the good guy who doesn't pick sides
