r/youtubedrama alleges that members of r/h3h3productions are brigading the sub. Both subs proceed calls each others bluffs and r/youtubedrama mods face some heat!

Context:

r/youtubedrama is a sub used to discuss different drama between many different variety of youtubers and culture on youtube in generaland is pretty much a snark page at this point. r/h3h3productions is a sub dedicated to Ethan Klein or H3H3, a long time youtuber who has been very controversial figure on youtube for a long time now. His content revolves around his podcast dedicated to politics, pop culture and usual drama stuff.

Recently, there has been plenty of posts on r/youtubedrama between the still ongoing beef between Hasan Piker and Ethan Klein. Basically, Hasan and Ethan used to host a podcast about politics called 'The Leftovers' and due to issues like the Israel-Palestine Genocide and just other stuff, the podcast basically split and they are now feuding. H3H3 has been teasing a "content nuke" on Hasan Piker for about a month now and most people on r/youtubedrama have been quick to be against Ethan's side regarding this beef. Here are some examples of posts regarding this drama: Post1 Post2 Post3.

The drama:

The alleged brigading started off with this post where Ethan Klein decides to criticise Markiplier a pretty popular youtuber: Ethan Klein and his wife go on an unhinged rant diagnosing Markiplier of being a psychopath and "faking his voice" later revealing it is because he apparently unfollowed Ethan on social media. Many r/youtubedrama members are quick to criticise Ethan Klein for attacking Markiplier.

There was a lot of brigading from r/h3h3production members on this post as alleged from the mods

• This post is now locked due to brigading from members of the h3h3productions subreddit. We have tried to resolve this with the mods of that subreddit, but they are choosing to not follow the moderator code of conduct.

Examples of the brigading

• Yeah jokes are scary aren’t they. BOO
• Hey snarker, ever heard of a joke?
• Markiplier is fucking annoying and I’m tired of pretending he’s not
• I’m a fan of markiplier too but the guys voice is remarkably deep I think it’s obvious Ethan is joking. So many ppl in the comments are so thin skinned I thought h3 segment was funny. There are worse things to be insulted by… it’s like making fun of someone for being tall by creating a conspiracy theory he’s been on stilts for years loool
• hes not going after markiplier, two seconds after this cut off he went on a rant talking about how nice and creative mark is and how hes only joking. Hes making a joke the entire time. its, a bit. these comments are so cirngey because hes LITERALLY making a joke. "hes been faking his voice for 20 years", cmon, u know they dont believe that right? right?
• Protect all the sensitive, deep voice creators. You are doing the lords work. Pat yourself on the back buddy!
• So this stays up but not the video of Ethan being emotional about Palestine because he said some mean (and true) things about your friends. Also, its sad how much this sub doesn't know what goofing around looks like.
• It’s a fucking joke bit, Jesus Christ I know not everyone watches him but he’s know for this stuff he’s not being serious
• The snarkers have taken over this sub. Not just h3s snarkers but in general. Mods need to do something about this terrible content
• It's a JOKE. H3 is a COMEDY podcast. Why do people suddenly pretend not to recognize jokes when it's someone you don't like making them?

along with many different comments from r/h3h3production members basically saying its a joke to refute the criticism against ethan just sort by controversial and there are tons

Today, a post from the r/youtubedrama mods dropped a post alleging brigading from r/h3h3productions members. Heres a link to the post: Temporary Measures Due to H3-Related Brigading

Basically, the mods are noticing that r/youtubedrama has become a place for H3 supporters and H3 criticisers to argue with each other. They basically that the sub a place to discuss drama, not to BE the drama. So they implemented two new rules to solve this

Heres the basic excerpt from the mod: "Recently, we implemented two rules to help curb this sort of meta-attention by stating we do not accept crossposts from Snark subreddits nor do we consider a post about a chud having chud views to be drama. Take it from me, many have tried to ignore both of these rules and the posts have been promptly dealt with. If it were up to me, even more posts would be deleted and Ethan himself would probably fall under the chud label."

"With this influx of traffic and lowbrow posting, we are implementing temporary measures to issue temporary bans to users that frequent either the h3 sub or the h3 snark sub. We will allow the post of Ethan's supposed content nuke when it comes through simply because it is drama and relevant, but we are really trying to prevent this sub from becoming a place where fanbases can manipulate and sway public opinion."

This post caught some heat for the mods from r/youtubedrama members

• TF you bitching about? This shit is the same as LSF. You reap what you sow.
• This is ridiculous, an attempt by Hasan to censor the fallout of the nuke, internet janitors want to feel powerful lmao, time to move to a better sub people
• Seems like you guys have been creating this YouTube drama yourselves?
• I mean if this is a "war" then this subreddit has clearly chosen the side of the snarkers, which is embarrassing in and of itself lol, ya'll are nuts.

Some r/youtubedrama mods are quick to try and remain neutral in the h3h3-hasan beef:

• Hilarious cause I hate Hasan
• I firmly believe that left wing guys like Destiny, Hasan, and Ethan just doing their normal thing is also chud behavior. And I’m pretty far to the left. We crafted rules for these situations but it has seemed to not triage this issue. Also your downvotes say a lot about why I have the flare I do hahaha I’m allowed to not like Hasan guys. Chill out

A casual user of the sub decides to then give his take on where r/youtubedrama as a sub is going. Heres the post: A casual user's thoughts on the direction of this subreddit

Here are some replies this poster had to others under his post

• I appreciate your comment. I'm glad to hear the ban is temporary, but it is my hope that the bans will be loosened a little bit once the Nuke is actually posted so that a real discussion about it can be had. You mods have a tough job no doubt, so I appreciate you taking the time to take criticism and share your perspective
• I'm not sure I entirely agree. Reading comments on recent posts (particularly regarding the H3) drama, the comments seem almost entirely one-sided in opinion. And while I find myself agreeing with the majority, I think we are worse off for not allowing dissenting viewpoints on the issue. I'm not seeing diversity in expression when I read those comments. I am certainly not saying that the mods should just open the gates and allow people to run willy-nilly. Just that maybe they can tolerate more dissent than what they've currently been allowing

Heres also a post on r/h3h3productions basically discussing how r/youtubedrama talks about Ethan Klein: Snarkers brigading, crying and pissing their pants, that's who they are.😒

• I mean, I'm not here for the Mark slander either but it was obviously a joke. They're starting to sound like right wing media the way they warp what Ethan said
• I got downvoted to hell when I commented that he was just joking lmao
• “Ethan Klein admits to doing 9/11 and causing the extinction of the dodo bird!"
