But yeah, for all her many, many, many flaws, Hila is fiercely loyal in ways most urban American women could never be.
Even when Ethan is jokingly calling himself a fat fuck and his crew laugh, Hila calls him handsome and boosts his self-esteem. And when Ethan fucks up (every day) she's there to support him.
Reminds me of the fact that Hila's parents initially did not want Hila to be with Ethan because of his disgusting physique and his then status as a bum trying to make it on YouTube; she stuck by him in their shithole apartment in New York despite it all and against their wishes.
Hila is like the anti-Anisa.
Hila met a nobody named Ethan at a Holocaust museum, and fell in love with him for his personality.
Anisa brought along her boyfriend at the time, to Vidcon so she could meet a youtube celebrity known as idubbbz.
When Hila and Ethan paired up, they went from an averagely broke, young couple trying to get by, to an unstoppable team. Professionals in their field of entertainment and later, fashion.
Idubbbz went from one of youtubes top guys, big money earner, big name channel, popular and traveling to do collaborations across the globe, to Mr. Jomha. Sad husk of a man, crying to a father figure, in a takedown video of his last remaining friend.
You're right about Hila boosting Ethan's self esteem. She tries to lift him up when he is down.
Anisa, on the other hand, cannot help herself and ALWAYS has to point out something negative or embarrassing about idubbbz. Every chance she gets.
Both couples have the dynamic of the dominant leaning female/submissive leaning male, but Hila motivates Ethan. The things Hila is bossy with him about seem to push him towards bettering himself, where Anisa seems like she is actively working on the destruction of idubbbz. Hila wants Ethan to take his health seriously. Anisa just wants what she wants, and expects it from idubbbz. Overpriced tattoos, over the top events, moving to Seattle, attention from a certain popular streamer. Which, very likely is making idubbbz health worse. All the stress and inner turmoil of stabbing your friend in the back, for a guy your wife wants to fuck, can't be good for his IBS.
To be clear, idubbbz is bitch-made and chose to do all of this shit, but I think all of his "greatest hits" since 2020 have been her pulling the strings and nagging him until she gets what she wants.
And what exactly does Anisa want? Well, it's certainly not the health and happiness of her husband. LMAO!
