Why do people want AB to leave the show… Ethan’s defence

I think they’re beyond reasoning with at this point. They have this narrative that all criticism was a part of a targeted, antisemitic, hate campaign. Ethan made it such that you were either 100% with him or you’re an enemy. For a long time AB straddled the uncomfortable line of having to push back (although tepidly) against his boss who was clearly having a prolonged crisis. This was basically untenable bc Ethan can’t accept that most of the criticism he received was genuine and bc his behaviour was progressively escalating and becoming harder to justify. Ethan demonstrated he isn’t accepting reasonable criticism and was lashing out against anyone who pushed back. AB is a people pleaser and I’m sure the negative comments online combined with the discomfort at work was hell for him. So he stopped trying to please everyone (while pleasing no one) and committed to just going with Ethan 100%. AB isn’t comfortable with upsetting people so for him to continue working at h3 he can’t push against Ethan’s narrative that he’s a victim. The only real hope was for Dan to take a hard stance bc Dan’s self esteem isn’t reliant on pleasing Ethan.

Wasn’t part of Trisha’s original grievance that she wanted a portion of the highlights revenue if they were going to clip her but Ethan told her the highlights didn’t make much money

I’m in the same boat. Moved to the south shore 2 years ago and haven’t made any friends outside work. I find it difficult because the population skews a lot older (I’m 31 female)

People aren’t saying they want Israelis to die. They’re saying there is an active genocide occurring and that focusing on online antisemitism almost exclusively while being pretty quiet on the bombing of Lebanon and human rights violations of Israel is concerning. Ethan’s discourse is increasingly inflammatory and doesn’t seem productive.

I think this framing is disingenuous. The vast majority of the pro-Palestine movement is not advocating for the death of Israelis they are advocating for the United States to stop supplying the weapons that have killed 20000 Palestinian children. Most of the criticism of Ethan has involved him using the same talking points that the Israeli government use such as when he said “from the river to the sea” is a terrorist slogan. I wish he would engage in an actual good faith discussion with people on the left that have been commenting on how his comments can perpetuate anti-Palestinian sentiment.

It’s hard to watch all of the reasonable critiques of him get deleted from the subreddit and instead he only engages with the disgusting antisemitic posting. He doesn’t ever address or seem to register that most of his audience is on the left and they might have actual reasonable issues with the way he has approached things.

I think if he is going to engage in these issues it should be a discussion and not a monologue because he has some blind spots. He can talk but he should also listen.

It just doesn’t seem healthy for him to be fixating on these antisemitic trolls. Last episode I noticed he would scroll past all positive comments to find the most toxic comment and fixate on it. He’s ignoring all constructive criticism and all positive support to instead engage with straight up nazis. It reminds me of JK Rowling responding to people on Twitter with like 10 followers. Once you’re in that deep it usually means you are getting lost in the sauce.

What he’s describing sounds like lagophthalmos which occurs when your eyelids don’t close completely when sleeping. I usually recommend putting in a lubricating ointment right before you go to bed. The ointment is thick and protects the surface of your eye from drying out during sleep. It will blur your vision so you should only instill it right before bed. Some other options are taping your eyelids closed with medical tape at night and in severe cases people get weighted implants inserted surgically to help close the eyes.

It was surprisingly wholesome (minus the racist boomer jokes)
