I don't disagree with any of this. I'm pretty sure you can find me echoing this sentiment in this thread from years ago. I just think there are multiple necessary causes to get to this point, and it wouldn't be happening if the only constant factor were Ethan's retardation and behavior. Jordan Peterson's tweet about Ethan is like an oracle from a Greek tragedy. I'm just not going to overlook that there's a horde of people who want him and his family dead for gay reasons, and find it funny.I don't blame him for his reaction post 2023 but that's where the pass ends. These past 2 years have been the direct consequence of him letting his ego, his greed, and his lust for fame go straight to his head. Multiple people warned him that selling out to the political cloutsphere was going to bite him in the ass. They told him that at some point he was going to get eaten alive for not sufficiently embracing radicalism. He threw his friends under the bus and shit on his former audience. He celebrated deplatforming, political violence, and flat out domestic terrorism because he thought he was untouchable. He screwed over family and tanked the best content he'd made in years because he couldn't pay his co-host fairly, and even started siccing his audience on her after the fact. He never envisioned a scenario where he was expected to take a position he didn't agree with on an issue where he had skin in the game. Now that it happened he has no idea what to do. He can't leave the internet because content creation is his livelihood and his weird adult child clothing brand is not going to pay the bills. He can't take his content in a more positive direction because he's not capable of producing content worth watching without leaning on politics anymore. He's stuck in a hell of his own making and he has nobody to blame but himself.
