There are a couple of decent plays in the content deputy, but overall it's a huge loss.
The good for ian:
-
The clips of ethan talking about his child being covered in shit and them all being sick. I admittedly didn't know this, I assumed one of the mudslime crew just made this claim out of nowhere. It's now 0.01% less fucked that CPS got called.
-
Calling out ethan for not having a personal call beforehand. I agree with Ian here, ethan should have done that, but this point in particular is undermined below by the "you can't fence sit here" point so it's kind of moot in retrospect. If that phone call was going to result in
"look... i just think hasan and his friends have a point that israel should spread its asshole and let 300 million muslims rape it to death and kill every jew in the region... you don't have to take it personally" Then that phone call wouldn't have solved anything.
-
Pointing out that ian and ethan's purpose in life is to act like clowns and roll around in shit. Correct! Best thing Ian has said in 5 years. It's a bit too late for him though, he's never getting his old audience back and never living any of this down. The roll around in shit thing is meant to be relaxing and escapist fun time for people and they won't relax when the subject's very existence reminds them of the worst aspects of clown world and is associated with constant stress. It's like seeing a guy who raped your cousin do stand up comedy. you might be able to say
"yeah that joke landed... nice" but you're not going to laugh, relax, and have fun.
The bad for ian:
-
Calling him "triggered" about getting CPS called to his house, as if it's the same thing as being called a racial slur. It makes it clear ian and anus don't know the difference between internet pussy fights and real life.
-
Claiming he was trying to be empathetic in the content cop. It's so clear Ian has no idea what the term means... on that note he also has no idea what irony means. He confuses it with sarcasm (which many people do but it's still retarded).
-Bring up ethan's subbreddit as if it's his responsibility. Everyone knows reddit is a joke at this point and loaded with bots and brigaders. This was a non point.
-Trying to imply the dislikes on the content cop are fake. Ian just fucking stop. We've seen the reactions in the comments, other forums, here, and the reactions of other streamers. Nobody liked your piece of shit video and nobody likes you or your new harem of brown buttbuddies.
EDIT: I actually have to expand on this because it's important.
Ian and Anisa cannot stand for something unpopular, they can't do it. Granted i haven't watched all 200 hours of this drama but i don't think ethan has ever once played the "look most people agree with me" card, he's just saying what he believes is true. ian and anisa cannot do this because they have chinese brain, the only "true" or "righteous" thing is the one the mob believes. I think they literally can't fathom standing up for something being unpopular.
-
Acting like ethan and hila have no right to be angry when anisa and ian tried to sit it out and play neutral. This isn't the kind of thing you can just ignore for somebody you ever considered a friend. The calling CPS and skulls and stuff aside,
there is no being friends with ethan and hasan at the same time. Hasan wants every jew in israel dead. Anybody with a modicum of understanding of this political situation (which in his defense, likely excludes Ian) knows that Hasan's desired outcome for the situation means an absolute horror show for every jew in israel. Hasan knows it, ethan knows it, anybody with a brain knows it. This is literally like saying you can be friends with 1940s hitler and jews at the same time, it just doesn't work.
-
Most importantly The entire scenario still doesn't work in ian's favor because the context rapes him. He's allied with the woke, he's empathetic, and against hate. Yet he's being picky with how he applies his "empathy". If he were giving jews anywhere near the same leeway he's been giving niggers and trannies these past 4 years he would have said "
You're correct... it was poor timing and unobservant on my part to shave my head for this and hold a swastika sword. I didn't intend it and i'll be more careful in the future". But he doesn't do that. He doubles down and calls it absurd that ethan is offended by such things. This is really the core problem with trying to go woke, you can never make everyone happy, but if you're going to accuse other people for using "dog whistles" you can't get defensive when people accuse you of the same.
-Oh and the biggest loss? Whatever the fuck this is
TLDR: it was better than the content cop but still a huge loss for Ian and he's done.
