14:11 on the new H3 podcast. Late, but got around to listening to it and fully transcribed a particularly juicy part so you don't have to give these garbage cans any views:
"...they definitely have, you know, their own, like, set of fans and everything. I think like with, with Dax, as an example, like...I definitely went into it--because when you're...when you're creating one of these videos you sort of want to...have a goal, you don't really want to go into it blind, cause it's like, well, "what do we make this video about". You can't just follow someone around and be like, "yeah, do your normal routine". You gotta have, like, an event or a purpose. Um...so like, with people like...Dax, I think I went into it thinking "yeah, this guys awkward, let's fuckin--let's fuck with him". You know, there's, there's a few awkward questions that I don't think made the cut. It was just me trying to poke and pry thinking, like, "he's awkward. Let me ask him uncomfortable questions to make it even weirder"...But then I realized, like, as time went on, like--that's like the opposite approach you should be taking...you should be, like, feeding into...what that particular person is comfortable with because when...they're more comfortable they're a lot more willing to like, put themselves out there and express themselves in an interesting way rather than just, like, you know, beating your head against a wall trying to make...the "funny thing" happen"
--Ian in response to a meandering, cock sucking question Ethan asks. Basically (paraphrase): "was your intent to make these people seem sympathetic".
You all can make your own judgments but I want to correct something I said, that maybe he had grown from the criticisms he received from the Fatty doc and that the intent seemed good: The intent was bad. Straight from the horse's mouth. He wanted to "fuck with" Dax from the start because he thought it would be entertaining. Now I think the positive vibes were incidental and his goal was to also make a spectacle out of Dax just like he did Fatty. He just covered his ass slightly better this time around by shilling Dax's shirt and book.
Imagine admitting to failtrolling someone as seemingly lovable as Dax (who, by comparison, makes you look like an extremely maladjusted tard) for the cruel entertainment of your millions of subscribers and also money and then having so little self-awareness that you immediately go on to bitch about how your fanbase is toxic and how people bullying you and your equally retarded whore girlfriend hurts your feelings.
Is it fair to call Ian a professional ween at this point?
