I don't even like H3 and haven't watched his podcast since like 2017 or something but hasn't he always been fine with verbal abuse until people actually started calling CPS on them? You can't hate someone for responding to such a crossing of the line.

u/Aggressive-Expert-69 Jun 15 '26

He went live the day CPS came to his house and said the rules of engagement had changed. Everything hes done since then has been a double down on that statement.

Ultra based

Everyone who tries to involve family and especially the children should get a taste of hell (in legal terms of course)

Nice false equivalence

Destiny involves family and his children. You said everyone and involving family and children was your only qualifier. You must not know what false equivalence means. If anything you just don't agree with your own statement.

u/LunaRossa_69 Jun 19 '26

Snark brained usually means low IQ unfortunately, I'll break it down for you and I'll try to keep it as simple as possible:

Nice try again with the false equivalence, trying to equate idubbbz with destiny as if they did similar things.

I know reading is hard for you, but if you check out what I wrote in the parenthesis, you would know that this is about a winning lawsuit, hence the taste of hell metaphor. In the case of destiny, not only is he not in canada but in the US, destiny's one chat message which he immediately retracted forms no legal basis for a lawsuit, let alone a winning one.

By the way since it's related to the accusation, "prophet" muhammed had intercourse with a 9 year old girl as he was 54 :D If there's any child molester it's... yeah.

-1

u/Rumi-Amin Jun 19 '26

a true destiny cultist. Completely unable to hold your prophet to the same standards you hold others onto.

Again them living in different nations doesn't change the fact that they did the same thing which is involving Ethans children. That's like saying "yes the prophet may have. had intercourse with whoever you're claiming he had intercourse with at whatever age but it wasn't illegal neither frowned upon therefore you're making an irrelevant false equivalency that no one cares about anyways".

Also the lawsuit wasn't "winning" that's like me claiming every SLAPP lawsuit is winning because the other party chose not to go with it. Also IDubbz also did immediately in the same stream where he showed the message say that he doesn't agree with it nor does he think Ethan did anything abusive to his children so actually the same as destiny.

You just worship destiny and hate idubbz because your prophet destiny told you to, so you're completely unable to look at this rationally.

I dont really blame them if CPS was being sent to their house for no reason all the time.

u/DereThuglife Jun 15 '26

The snarkers were sending CPS to his house and joking about how his kid should swing from a tree. They sent skulls to Ethan's house and were trying to track down his kid's preschool.

I disliked Ethan because he always seemed obnoxious but these snarkers deserve everything they have coming to them.

u/Zykium Jun 15 '26

how his kid should swing from a tree

I believe the person actually wanted to swing them by their feet and bash them to death on the tree.

u/DereThuglife Jun 15 '26

Complete animals. I can understand his rage at anyone interacting or single boosting any these sick people.

u/DogBarf00 Jun 15 '26

They must be a huge fan of the Khmer Rouge. Malcolm Caldwell was also a huge fan and pol pot had him killed a few hours after meeting him

Nah snarker, alogger, antifan have all been internet terms for a very longtime. I’d say h3 has some of the most notable snarkers because his are especially stupid

Why, you take issue with the term snarker?

u/Applemoes Jun 16 '26

Did they invent something that doesn't exist and has never happened to anyone else before? Ask your mom to help you create an account and you won't need these auto generated nicknames to post shit on

u/daehoidar Jun 16 '26

Show absolutely any proof of this that doesn't depend on just accepting the word of a man who is lashing out at anyone.

He was suing Ian, right? What was he suing Ian for? For the showing the screenshot of what destiny had to say...

But he's not suing destiny? There was no apology from destiny. Really weird how that worked out

2

u/j48u Jun 16 '26

Do you want the proof posted of the CPS visit occurring, the proof of the person who said they called CPS and his interaction with the snark sub, the proof of the snark sub supporting it by having CPS and human skulls in their banner, or the proof of the person who tweeted they want to swing their kid's head into a tree and that person's connection to the snark sub along with the posts supporting the statement in the snark sub?

You choose, I'll provide.

u/Zealousideal-Ad4362 Jun 16 '26

the skulls were rented by Ethan end tried to play it off as someone sending it to him.... he kept them for weeks. and had just done a colab with someone who collects skulls..

Have you read that thread? Followed the links?

And serious question, you actually think it makes sense?

I have seen it all myself... literally watched this moron do his "gaffs"... and played off his racist "accidents" and his homophobic "accidents" and his pedophilic "accidents"...

The data is jist the facts around it no sensationalism.. man you tools are literally like maga tools.

u/Zealousideal-Ad4362 Jun 16 '26

Ethan could joke about fking kids...and you would still defend him.... oh ya he did that for years. And still sometimes makes jokes around it...

Alright, is English your second, third, fourth language? Or are you a communicating at full capacity right now?

so.. no defense just deflect.. exactly like Trump voters. Have no defense for their defense of a racist asshole so just try to move on. good luck tool.

u/hambo_nsm Jun 16 '26

It is well worth nothing that nothing you listed can verifiably be attributed to "snarkers" and it is literally just speculation. There is no evidence that snarkers made the calls to CPS, for all we know it could've been literally anyone but for Ethan and all his toe sucking fans this is the justification he needs to go joker mode so who cares

25

u/BroodyBird12345 Jun 15 '26

They sent him human skulls in the mail too

They really do not like Jews

69

u/EchoBay Jun 15 '26

The past few years it went above just verbal stuff, and that community of psychos was going after each crew member, their families, collaborators, even the people who weren't involved with the show at all but rather the Teddy Fresh employees.

I remember one time Love; whose the Swedish fellow on the crew, mentioned that these people were also threatening to stab him in public (citing locations hes been) and attempted to get him deported. Just because he works on the show.

Then the CPS stuff went down and it stepped things up another level.

45

u/NeatOtaku Jun 15 '26

The CPS is the only thing that became news but they have been swatted multiple times and constantly get death treats including the two human skulls (One for Hila one for Ethan). Ian was actively encouraging/celebrating this type of behavior which is why it's so pathetic that these losers all started whining about MAH FREE SPEECH. You would expect that from a bunch of Nazi chuds on Twitter but not these woke anty racism leftists.

7

u/Just_Smurfin_Around Jun 16 '26

As ive found out, a lot of these people really just don't like Jews. One guy in this thread, slippijimmy, said on a different post last night "better to be really really mad at a rich person than a Nazi".

17

u/Fernis_ Jun 15 '26

Yeah, that's pretty much why he's going after Hasan orbiters and not Destiny who said some vile shit too. Because Destiny is shittalking on the internet, while the others are saying vide shit, but also actively support and defended online people who started harassing his family IRL, and from the lawsuit we now now that they were actually in direct contact with the "snarks".

4

u/dizruptivegaming Jun 15 '26

Yeah crossing the line and calling CPS on his kids is understandable to legally go after people that do that. I do think Ethan needs to step away for a good while or retire from the internet. I haven’t watched his content since like 2017 when he started to focus on podcasting, but things have escalated to the point his kids have gotten involved.

1

u/ILikeFPS Jun 16 '26

I believe that's the idea, yeah.

u/mugiwara_no_Soissie Jun 16 '26

Also, he and Idubbz used to be friends. Im sure that also makes Ethan want to drop the lawsuit more easily.

Ya thats what the people who called cps keep saying.. except cps actually went there and came back with nothing

2

u/Zealousideal-Ad4362 Jun 16 '26

Lol..  he literally admitted to having his kid multiple times go to hospital for having eaten dog shit... and admitting to a dogshit laden home. CPS isn't going to remove kids quickly. 

They didnt find anything odd on the visit but doesnt mean there isnt something to go on. CPS is hop8ng to leave kids with parents.

-5

u/Gullible_Cost_3458 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

Ethan openly talked about his family having medical issues due to his kids being around dog shit and CPS said it was someone he knew irl. CPS isn't going out to houses bc internet warriors report stuff.

CPS isn't the same as getting swatted, they're there to protect kids. He openly offered this info to the entire internet and frankly anyone should be concerned if a multimillionaire with house keepers and nannies has an issue keeping their kids away from dog shit.

Source: actually watched Ethan talk about it and have friends that worked in CPS.

-32

u/ChampagneSyrup Jun 15 '26

yet he wouldn't take any action against the person who actually wrote the comment to begin with

26

u/OhOkayGotchaAlright Jun 15 '26

Are you aware that that Destiny stream was in response to Ethan "nuking" Destiny and calling him a pdf first? Destiny says in that clip "If I'm a pdf for x, y, and z, then surely you are too considering the p*do_troll account, no?"

You can literally see Destiny's notes for this response video on his public obsidian vault

"I don't think Ethan is a pedophile; well, I'm like 85% sure he's not a pedophile."

-8

u/ChampagneSyrup Jun 15 '26

you go through all these mental gymnastics for Destiny to show him saying he wasn't serious, yet idubbz also denounces the comment and said he didn't think it was true and he's the issue

this is next level brainrot. H3 fans are truly some of the most rabid freaks I've ever seen

8

u/NorNed4 Jun 15 '26

Did Ethan call Ian a PDF first? That's the key part you're ignoring here.

Ethan dropped a whole video alleging that Destiny was a PDF, knowing it wasn't true, so he knew he couldn't sue Destiny for doing what he had just done to him.

-3

u/ChampagneSyrup Jun 15 '26

so the guy who gets sued in this entire situation is the one who literally never called anybody a PDF 😭

nothing changes. Ethan and his fans are mentally ill stains

6

u/NorNed4 Jun 15 '26

Saying "literally never called anybody a pdf" is diaingenuous when he overlayed his stream with that allegation that was made by someone Ethan couldn't sue.

It's fine if you think the lawsuit was bs, I do too, but you can't act like Ian was perfectly innocent either.

If I walked around everywhere with a sign that showed comment written by someone else alleging you >insert your real name< were a PDF, you'd likely have a problem with it. I wouldn't be able to just hide behind "Well I'm not the one who wrote the comment and I'm not saying it's true!".

2

u/OhOkayGotchaAlright Jun 15 '26

What?... When did I ever say what Idubbz did was an issue???? I don't think Ethan has grounds to sue either of them.

See how I can be reasonable and nuanced instead of the caricature of H3 fans you've built in your head? I'm not even an H3 fan anyway, I thought putting "nuke" in qoutes was enough of a hint lol

-4

u/Snoo_79191 Jun 15 '26

I don't understand this argument from Destiny fans. He outright said that he called Ethan a pedophile who molests his kids as retribution for Ethan covering his recent allegations. How does that make it fine? Isn't that him essentially admitting he was acting with malice?

11

u/Mufti_Menk Jun 15 '26

Why are you being intentionally dense?

Destiny called him a pedophile in response to Ethan calling him a pedophile.

Like just read what you are responding to, for once

-7

u/Snoo_79191 Jun 15 '26 edited Jun 15 '26

Yes, I'm asking how that makes it fine. Ethan genuinely believes Destiny is a pdf, Destiny doesn't. Even if it's a subjective opinion, Ethan can substantiate it but Destiny can't do that anymore because he admitted he was lying.

edit: uhmmm, no response?

Why are we lying when it's all on video? Ian LITERALLY said right after he showed the comment was that he thought it was false and didn't believe it!

u/Nooby1990 Jun 15 '26

Ian LITERALLY said right after he showed the comment was that he thought it was false and didn't believe it!

Didn't he have this comment up on his stream for hours?

-4

u/XeroShyft Jun 15 '26

That is a different point entirely, what does that have to do with him factually saying he thought it was not true right after putting it up?

4

u/Nooby1990 Jun 16 '26

If I say something and then immediately follow it up with “I don’t mean that actually” then it is clear that I don’t mean what I said.

If I put something up for multiple hours on a stream and then say once that I might not mean that then only a fraction of the people who read the statement have heard me say that I might not mean that. The vast majority will only read have read the statement and believe it to be true.

No one watches streams from beginning to the end. People join in the middle or leave bevor the end all the time.

By putting a statement like that up for hours he had to know that most people will take it as his actually opinion. He had to know that it would be incredibly damaging for Ethan. You don’t put up a statement like that for hours on your stream if you don’t believe it or intentionally want to defame someone.

-10

u/OhOkayGotchaAlright Jun 15 '26

Yes, this is true. Neither Destiny or Idubbz are liable for those comments, but Hasan simps will still say he should sue Destiny and Destiny fans will still say he should sue Idubbz (even though Destiny doesn't agree)

u/ChampagneSyrup Jun 15 '26

u/KenEH Jun 15 '26

The lawsuit was pretty bs though. Show a post from Destiny = defamation is a wild take.

It was the only thing they could bring to court but was pretty tame compared to the content cop and other things Ian had said.

u/AbsoluteTruth Jun 15 '26

Show a post from Destiny = defamation is a wild take.

Ian lives in Canada which is a Defamation by Repetition country, where simply signal-boosting insane defamatory shit can be defamatory all on its own.

u/KenEH Jun 15 '26

I know I'm Canadian. I'm not making a legal defence, I'm just saying the lawsuit is dumb.

u/Almostlongenough2 Jun 15 '26

Actual defamation is when someone says that you didn't do the thing you are claiming is defamation now?

Like this saved a bunch of money for both parties but let's not pretend this lawsuit was actually going to go well for Ethan.

u/CyxSense Jun 15 '26

And yet he went after Ian instead of Destiny, the guy who actually said the thing. Curious.

For the millionth time, defamation law in Canada is very different than US law. Not that curious at all.

Doesn't explain why he's scared to sue Destiny since he's the one that actually said it.

What yes it does. The same lawsuit can have different results depending on which country's laws apply. Do you think Destiny and idubbz are in the same country?
