This isn’t my effort post so it might be against the rules. I’m just linking and copying two posts from subreddits that have compiled all that has happened over the past week.
First, here’s a thread of all recent H3 controversies, sorted by date. There is a lot in there, so I’ll be copying the ones related to this topic.
October 15th
Ethan says 100% of the Jews he knows are struggling after Oct 7th and says Zionist is a slur
Ethan posts about defending “antisemitic terrorists”
October 16th
Ethan makes a video dedicated to canceling and de-platforming Hasan Piker, admits he wants to deplatform Hasan on Twitch for “interviewing a terrorist”, and shows an unlisted clip of Hasan titled “HamasAbi”
October 17th
Hasan says Ethan is too focused on his personal feelings and calls him self-centered
Ethan calls Hasan’s stream “vile embarrassing trash”
October 19th
Ethan posts video titled, “Twitch has a major problem”
Frogan provides context for the “Habbibi pass” tier list - A bunch of Arab streamers made a tier list on who had the Habbibi pass, the controversy was around the lowest tier which was titled ’ Loves Sabra’ i.e. likes Sabra hummus. Ethan claims this is antisemitic and a dog-whistle about Jewish people.
Ethan posts about Yahya Sinwar

Ethan claims he “conceded” on far-left ideals such as letting the Palestinians have a state
October 23rd
Hasan calls Ethan Islamophobic
Ethan makes an instagram story about nmplol
Hasan says Rashid is not a terrorist, just like Hila is not a terrorist
Hila admitted to raiding homes in Ramallah and move from her assigned desk job into combat roles because she was “bored”. BadEmpanada HAS MADE a video titled ‘Hila Klein is a Terrorist’ due to her time in the IDF where she asked to be transferred to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, performed logistical duties for the IDF terrorist organization, and volunteered to tag along during an IDF terrorist attack against a Palestinian house in Ramallah.

Second, here is a thread correcting the misinformation Ethan spread about Hasan
I see. I was a bit confused, since apparently you were responding to my other comment in the thread.
If you want to know why I think streamers are bad generally, you can look no further than the way that an ideological conflict over Palestine instantly becomes subsumed into personal drama, fandom, and is ultimately monetized by all sides as attention is drawn to it. Not only by the primary participants but by the entire ecosystem of drama recappers and other bottom feeders. So that instead of talking about Palestine we are talking about whether Hasan is good or not. And believe me when I say that I don’t care in the slightest. The structural incentives of his line of work will limit his effectiveness and ideological range in the long term. He will ultimately have to choose between material success and ideological rectitude. And this conversation will feel as embarrassing in hindsight as people who were ride or die for AOC in 2017
Also I don’t believe for a second that this Zionist freak was cool before October 7th of last year lol. They saw there was money to be made
When did I say that you have to like Hasan or that you have to believe Hasan is good? Please reread my posts. I said you don’t have to like him. I said you don’t have to learn about him. You are the one who is making it about personal drama. You are making this about hating streamers. I am trying to explain to you that Israel has a larger project of silencing every anti-Zionist person on the internet, including on twitch. You are the one changing the subject from Israel trying to hide it’s crimes to your own personal grievances.
// Twitch 30-day banned 5 prominent channels this week for being expressing anti-Zionist views. Two of the 5 banned streamers have family living in Lebanon right now being bombed by Israel.
I posted an emoji lol, not an invitation for you to start a lengthy conversation with me about Hasan. Please examine your parasocial attachment to the streamer you appear have an encyclopedic knowledge about
