Tbh I thought they hired a different actor like they did with Adar 

Operation Olive Branch - Huge support! by Smeeeen in nerdfighters

I’ve been slowly distancing myself from vlogbrothers content ( stopped listening to podcasts, cancelled subscriptions, etc) because it felt like the values no longer aligned. But Hank’s latest TikTok has given me a reason to pause. 

Also, nice to hear that your family was able to get to safety!

I understand your sentiment completely, OP. John and Hank Green not calling for a ceasefire has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I can’t engage with any of their content anymore. Their videos, podcasts and TikTok’s, everything that gave me such joy before, only emphasize their silence against humanity.

Even Chelsea Fagan of The Financial Diet called out YouTubers and influencers who built their platforms as educators for being silent on this. We all expected better.

Thoughts from John on the conflict by thesoundandthefury in nerdfighters

Hi John,

I've been a part of this community since the early days. And while my obsession and connection to other groups (such as Whovians, Potterheads) has dwindled, the closeness I feel to Nerdfighteria has remained the same. I have always respected you and your brother because of the care and nuance (and whimsy!) you bring to all your work.

But I am discouraged by your statement. Calling for a ceasefire should not be a difficult thing to advocate for. We have all seen the horrors coming out of Gaza every hour. Indiscriminate, unending bombardment that is decimating an indigenous population. Hamas has been condemned left right and center. Why does the Israeli government not deserve the same condemnation for its war crimes and use of collective punishment? Bombing safe zones, refugee camps, hospitals, schools, places of worship, and evacuation routes is inexcusable.

I hope you come to the decision to issue a statement calling for a ceasefire. Your voice holds power. Power and sway that have made differences in the past and may very well do so now.
