Ive always thought he was stupid for bashing channels for using the same kind of content he does. It then went to a head when he casually threw around the hard N word despite chastising others for doing the same. That Hugh Mongus interview is the only video of his worth watching.
He also posted his naked kid on twitter.

He's right, though. I've seen the utter insanity of Tumblr's K-Pop fandom, it's an incredibly fanatic and dehumanising environment.

Massive bands, whether it be K-pop bands like BTS or stuff like One Direction, are mobbed by people who ship the band members with each other. These ships can become so massive that they flip the fuck out when band members are shown being intimate with other people - the same hysteric logic used by fictional character shippers is applied to real-life people. Think of Supernatural fans who get buttmad about "queerbaiting", except applied to two real people, and on a large public scale within the fanbase. To the point that two people are expected to be in a secret gay relationship, and are attacked for leading people on when this isn't the case.

On a side note, this was one of the reasons One Direction broke up - a bunch of the members were incredibly uncomfortable with the fan content depicting them in a relationship, and it ruined their friendship.

K-pop performers are absolutely fetishized. You have people complimenting the performers on the colour of their skin, the shape of their eyes and how they look in their music videos. These guys are absolutely fetishized based on their race, by sheltered fanatics who don't comprehend why it's inappropriate to fetishise people based on their race. You have people squeeing over these pastel-coloured gif edits, and these demented fantasies of boy band characters being your virtual boyfriend or letting you watch them have sex with their secret gay bandmate boyfriend. It's a similar deal to slash fiction, where gay people are fetishized by people who would turn around and drop serious homophobic slurs in a heartbeat.

I'm writing this about boy bands, but girl groups face the same pressures from their fans. Maybe even more so, because to smoke and drink is to look cool as a guy, while a woman doing it garners backlash for reducing their "pure" image. K-pop performers are put under a lot of pressure from the industry, but a lot of the pressure they face also comes from their fans. They're sexualised by their fanbase, to the point that people use these real people to act out fantasies that they then expect the real people to live up to. K-pop stans are A-grade crazy, arguably the worst stand on the internet to this day, and that shouldn't be controversial to say.

It's possible to love K-pop music, to love and follow K-pop bands, without being a raving fucking lunatic about it. I don't say this with a racial bias, or out of bitterness and hate for K-pop or Korea as a whole, or even fandom as a whole - I say this from a position that has seen K-pop fans be massively dehumanising, unreasonable and extraordinarily rude about the performers they claim to love so much. K-Pop fans are fucking crazy, and for everything they do to help their favorite performers out, they would just as easily beat them to a bloody pulp and leave them under an underpass if any part of their perfect, untouchable fantasy were to go awry.

Mostly true but what's wrong with some sexy fan fiction?

There's been fan discourse in certain corners of the internet that holds real-person shipping to be in poor taste. Fanfiction is a great space to exercise your creative muscles, but shipping real people is seen by some as a step too far that invites unhealthy para-social relationships to take hold.

Ethan is right that the kpop fanatics shouldn't take the high ground since their hijinks have resulted in many idols committing suicide. I imagine even the ones that haven't committed suicide are still driven to misery because of how fucking rabid they are.

Seems like Chris Brown, Backstreet Boys, N Sync, or whatever pop fad of the decade for youngsters.

Why not? If he thinks it's dumb that's fine.

K-Pop is kinda lame/weird weebs mostly.

It's like softcore My Little Pony

Basically how people fetishized K-pop artist. Trending on twitter people calling Ethan a racist

i would post the link but you know gamefaqs

I havent seen many people have problems posting Twitter links in PotD, so I have no idea what you mean in your last line...

Also, Twitter is hot garbage, anyway... Twitter is also mad at a commercial after putting their own spin on it... So its hard to take anything they say seriously...

It really is that simple. But the people using Twitter must show everyone how much they care. And have to ruin peoples lives because they disagree, and stuff like that...

Yep, I can't stand him these days, ever since he had his kid he's become an insufferable [big word]. He's up his own ass to an incredible degree with zero self awareness or desire to improve his content/skills as a podcast host.

The mansion purchase was hearsay IIRC, either way youtube hasn't been their main thing for a while now. It's the podcast and clothing line which have been doing gangbusters .

Say whatever you want about Kpop. Yes, sure, whatever.

Now. What the fuck is h3h3. Why the fuck do people waste two seconds of their time on what some stupid Youtuber thinks.

Like, is this what you watch?? Man I'm sorry but I'd rather watch Kpop. <b>As bad as you say it is</b>, it's not some stupid random idiot on the internet.

<p style="background-color: transparent;">He says he doesn't like K-Pop, calls K-Pop bands weird because the men look like women , calls the fans weird/creepy for obsessing over idols and for posting .gifs/pics of them on social media. He then asks everyone in the room if they also dislike K-Pop for validation. It's a very ignorant rant, but wasn't racist.

imagine defending ethan for all of this.

i used to like h3 but after realizing he was out of material and just wanted to fall back to doing shitty podcasts i unsubbed. i remember once hila wasn't there, and he had his 2 dummy friends on there and they got drunk and were smoking and it was just all over the place. unbearable to listen to, because frequently they were just yelling over each other.

then he always has his "hot takes" which are literally just what is the most controversial thing i can say about a subject material.

there are better podcasts out there, dont waste your time with him.
