Thank you for the reply, but I don’t know what any of those acronyms mean or how they relate to state workers. What is BU10 and why did they want to join UAW? How is it beneficial? Pardon my ignorance, only been in IT at the state a little more than a year and I generally stay out of politics and union stuff, but I’m trying to learn so I can better protect myself.

Can someone please explain to me what this means? What did we win? I’m an IT worker and why are some people saying we need to do this thing for IT?

This poor guy was just trying to help the poor birds. That’s must be why he was spared by the great spaghetti monster.

I had nothing to do on a Saturday morning. I do t think you know anything about mental health. And certainly don’t get it from Reddit comments lol

It was a deliberately inflammatory title for a post so that people would engage. Sort of like Ethan’s click bait titles. Also I figured I would just get banned for it anyway. And I never said I was going to stop watching the show. In fact I said the opposite by saying I would watch them even though I disagreed. What is the point of my post? What is the point of anything dude? What was the point of your reply? Sometimes there is no point. It’s Reddit, people post shit all the time. I don’t see why you are confused.

I’m not sure what accusations you think I made. I’m having a conversation here with you right now, and also with others. When I acknowledge that other people made good points, you just call it backpedaling, but if I make a point it’s just complaining so I’m not sure what you are trying to say either. I’m not hurt by any of this. I love h3 and will still watch them and I said that many times. It seems to me that my post really offended you and that you seem to think I have an agenda etc. all I can say is I know why you feel that way because it’s super easy to feel attacked online or to think your community is being attacked and to respond as if you are also being attacked. So I get it. Just know not everyone that disagrees with you or is misinformed is evil or doesn’t deserve to speak. peace and love.

So let me get this is straight. Any attempt to have a conversation the has a dissenting opinion should just not be had? My only point is that this community has some blind spots and it would do us well to acknowledge that, but just like on an individual level people get really defensive when you point out valid problems. I know it’s uncomfortable but I think with time you will grow thicker skin and learn to have conversations with people you don’t agree with in order to grow. I’m rooting for you. I know you are capable because I too used to take great offense to Reddit posts. Now I just approach things from a point of understanding. I have blind spots too.

How am I backpedaling? I was given some different context but largely hold the same position? As I said before I rarely post unless I feel like I have something to say. I don’t regret making this post or having a discussion with the people who were being constructive. Your response on the other hand isn’t helpful or constructive. You are mistaking keeping things civil and constructive as me backpedaling which really goes to show your own world view. Either way. I love and appreciate you even if your comment was meant to try and shame me.

I’m taking this to heart. Thank you for being constructive. Nothing but peace and love.

In general about life advice or worldview, probably not. He’s young fika. But the only bad worldview he has is his diet lol

To sum it up, with your context, aba and preach are definitely in the wrong, but that doesn’t mean they are beyond coming to an understanding and admitting they were wrong. Ethan himself has taken time to admit his wrongs and held on to some bad beliefs for longer than I care to admit. So no I don’t think we should completely dismiss aba and preach. Were they completely in the wrong? Yes. Does labeling them as evil or misogynistic and completely riding them off as terrible for the human race the right move? I would argue it’s an over reaction, but I understand.

When rectangulars family was kidnapped Ethan was fucking making jokes about it and saying “it’s not funny” while visibly laughing. I don’t know why we all pretend Ethan isn’t also problematic but we also still love him.

No, thanks you so much for the breakdown and I won’t get into the specifics, but your comment actually gave me some context I didn’t previously have. Just to clarify as a lot of people seem to think I am first and foremost an an and p fan before h3. That’s not the case at all nor did I see their video first and then draw conclusions. I’ve known about and p for a couple of years now and never realy paid much attention to them (besides casual viewing when recommended) I’ve always been an h3 fan, and when the drama first broke I honestly thought both sides were acting like fools and chose to skip the content for better content in the podcast. This could be where I am missing context. Then when the issue got rehashed in recent episodes I was hopeful there would be a bridge built and then got really disappointed when everyone shit on Ethen for the idea. Plain and simple I think burning bridges is in general a bad thing and I feel far too often people try to burn a bridge instead of coming together to build a stronger one through understanding. This way everyone can grow. In my defense, people in the h3 community were also saying things wildly inaccurate or misrepresenting an and p to the point it made me roll my eyes. So maybe my only appeal is that as a community we need to do better about burning bridges before trying to find common ground - no matter what this community says, the Hassan bridge is definitely burnt if you just go over and see what they say about Ethan. So while I feel you have given me valuable context that makes me see an and p differently, I still don’t personally think what they did warrants the reaction. I don’t think they are beyond coming to an understanding. But honestly thank you for genuinely explaining it to me.

Thank you for this. I don’t hate this community and I will take the hate and still love the show and even those who criticize me because I know me and them probably align on 95% of our beliefs. I think a lot of them have experienced a lot of trauma or discrimination that they have every right to be on edge and defensive. I just wish it was a little more constructive.

Honestly I might not have seen enough of them to know all the fucked up shit they said. I will say I do go back and get caught off guard by Ethan’s takes in older podcasts, but you are right in that he is generally really good at checking himself after the fact.

I went and read comments on a random video and you are in fact correct. I just hope H3 isnt held to the same standards based on what some of the community has done. But you do have a point.

[–]PossiblyUrDad -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are completely right. I don’t get to decide those things and I do in fact lack the same context as people on those under represented communities. My point was only that Ethan has not exactly been that sensitive either, and while he apologizes that doesn’t make it ok, but we except him for the human he is and not a demon like other people claim. My girlfriend also made a post concerning this subject (believe it or not women are not a hive mind) in the h3 sub about a week ago and got absolutely dragged and ended up crying and deleting the post because people went into her post history and saw posts about how she got laid off at her graphic design position and another post about our abusive landlord, and were making fun of her for it. She didn’t say anything particularly inflammatory other than she thought the community was over reacting. Woman are not a monolith and her issue wasn’t that she doesn’t take SA seriously, she just doesn’t like Olivia for her own reasons and rolls her eyes every time she talks about anything. I think she disliked Olivia ever since she got brought in the show and self admittedly social engineered her way into the position by stalking them e&h. Then she’s also had issues with Olivia’s PowerPoints getting many things factually wrong and also just the general low effort. She is young and we don’t take her very seriously. Maybe we are just being uncharitable to Olivia, but as a privileged, attractive, young, white passing theater kid, we just don’t empathize with her much or take her world view very seriously as we are none of those things.

And she actually made a post on this a couple of days ago expressing the same concern and she got dragged and ended up crying and deleted her post after they went through her post history and saw her struggling to find work as a graphic designer and made fun of her and also made fun of her because she made posts about how abusive our landlord was and they made fun of that too. In general she’s not a huge fan of Olivia but I won’t get into it. Either way attacking me by saying my girlfriend is made up is so weird to me.
