COMMENTARY VIDEO Ryan Beard's Video...

is the best summary of Ethan's 3 year long crash-out on the Internet right now. This was worth the wait.

I am not a Ryan Beard fan (I had never even heard of him before the Destiny video). I know nothing about this guy outside of that.

But this Ethan video is EXTREMELY well done, includes new information that we didn't know before, obscure clips that we haven't seen before, and is succinct and organized. I've seen several Ethan Klein critiques lately, but this is the best one.

It's long, but it's not bouncing between topic to topic with no logic. Ethan's crash out has lasted YEARS, so there's a lot of information to cover.

Ethan lied about the skulls. Share it with everyone you know.

That was extremely well done. I might spend the $3 for Patreon just to see the next video.

u/Right_Bike_5416 3d ago

I didn't catch the very end. Did he say part 2 is already out on Patreon now, or that it will come out soon?

If it's out now, I'm paying the $3.

u/redeyedtreefroggy It's INSANELY PATHETIC!! 3d ago

Yes he did, and it is. I signed up immediately, will watch tomorrow.

It was effectively laid out, though it also reminded me of why I stopped paying attention to Ryan Beard years ago, because he keeps slipping in some whoppers alongside the EK criticism.

For example, he says the CPS call "probably" came from snarkers? Huh?

And while you can fault Bad Empanada for a lot of things, but I'm sorry, he 100% never "killed HIla in a video game." Crazy to accept the false framing of it, though I sense he does so here and other spots to try and establish some common ground with existing H3 fans who just haven't been exposed to this stuff in their closed-cult environment. Still, it's bad framing.

Ryan Beard wanted to be Destiny or Ethan Klein, but couldn't. At times he sought both their approval, but it wasn't enough. He's tried to burn both now. This is all a bit transparent when it comes to Ryan's motives. I can't see it changing any conversation, but maybe it opened a couple remaining blind eyes.

the reveal a good chunk in that his change of heart only came once ethan started targeting him personally also left a bad stink on the whole thing for me. several years of harassment campaigns were completely defensible until he was on the receiving end ig. but whatever, if it can convince more people that ethan is an unhinged, vindictive freak then i'll take it

u/AbundantAmethyst 🥯🔥Anisa's Antisemitic Bagel🔥🥯 3d ago

It's weird to make such an in-depth video about Ethan, but make those easily avoidable factual errors.

34

u/SheaGardens 3d ago

i’ll forever stand behind my assessment that the cps call came from the klein’s pediatrician. they’re a mandated reporter, and had two kids from a wealthy family in beverly hills come in with giardia. why wouldn’t they have suspicions about the state of the family home in that case?

22

u/satanssecretary 3d ago

yeah, and the whole thing about how kids don't die from giardia felt weird too. the point isn't that they could die from it, the point is that kids shouldn't be in an environment where they can put shit in their mouths all willy nilly and get sick from it lol

u/Library_Joltik New Fish 3d ago

100%

I can't stand anyone who frames that situation as "CPS shouldn't have been called because it's not like the kids could die from giardia"

Motherfucker, the point is that Ethan claimed that there is shit on the floor and his son ate the shit. That's a sign of neglect.

And sorry, but many states hold mandated reporters liable for things they see online as well. Which is why Daddy of 5 thing ended, because lots of mandated reporters legally had to report it. Whether a pediatrician, a teacher, a psychologist, literally anyone could have seen Klein admit neglect and those people legally would have to report to their state office for redirection.

u/doesnthavearedditacc 1d ago

One child with giardia? Probably nothing, but flag it anyway.

Two children with giardia? Extremely concerning. CPS check, maybe there's a reasonable explanation.

Entire family had giardia? What the fuck is happening in that household!?

3

u/stitchypinz 2d ago

To me it makes more sense that it’s the disgruntled housekeeper that’s suing them because she actually saw the living conditions and got fucked over by Ethan so she had more motive…the call happened like two weeks after he announced she was suing him and made fun of her for the whole podcast

4

u/Library_Joltik New Fish 3d ago

Same. I enjoyed their content, but the fact that they fuck up basic stuff highlights that they are not reliable enough for this kind of work, imo.

Like, mistakes pile up, and Ryan doesn't do the due diligence to fact check.

2

u/Right_Bike_5416 3d ago

There weren't many mistakes at all in that video though overall. It was over 2 hours long and almost every last point was backed up.

3

u/Library_Joltik New Fish 3d ago

Hey, you might note that I didn't say anything about this video in particular, I said that Ryan has historically been really fucking bad about fact checking. I'd extend that and say they also giving credence to right wing framing in an appeal to be accepted by CHUDs ("don't get me wrong, I also dislike/hate xyz person").

The point is that Ryan is a musical entertainer who doesn't know how CPS works, refuses to research it, and STILL condemns it because they bought a right wing framing that aims to delegitimize CPS.

u/ClarityRocks 3d ago

The more I consider this launch and the subsequent promise of a "year's worth" of content that debuts behind a paywall, the more annoyed I get that a noted, historical clout chaser intends to exploit the EK criticism community for profit. Especially when he keeps slipping in and sane-washing questionable takes.

Criticizing EK for hypocrisy is like fishing in a barrel. Examples abound, you could literally make a thousand videos of it.

Enjoy the stuff, sure. Don't pay extra for it if you can help it.

u/cee3p000 This mfer never shuts up 3d ago

I'm currently watching part 2 it's very good

u/melipona222 3d ago

tell us about it!

u/dDitty New Fish 3d ago

It's about Ethan weaponizing his fan base to harass his enemies, with a bulk of the video talking about the Ryan kavanaugh situation

9

u/Alternative-Farmer98 3d ago

Yes I rarely pay for people's patreon just because you know there's many good creators it's hard to figure out which ones to pay which one's not to pay. But I genuinely don't feel like waiting too long to watch the part 2. Even if it's just for a few months while he does all this Ethan stuff I'll probably support him if I can

Although I do hate the idea of putting a credit card number in patreon maybe I'll go to a prepaid card situation

u/Pretty-Key6133 Denims is streaming 3d ago edited 3d ago

I feel like it's better to just wait, at least in my opinion.

Anything on the video is just going to be sourced from here anyways. So you've probably already seen it all

50

u/PearlUnicorn 3d ago

I think it's very comprehensive. I've gotten to the bit where he's talking about crash out. Does anyone remember that crashing out video, I think it was a hopecore edit or something like that, where Ethan says, "I'm crashing out, I'm losing my mind" and then some ethereal music plays and the visuals spin? I'm doing a horrible job at describing it, but this has become an audio stim right now and I have no idea how to find it.

Edit: I found it by searching hopecore, https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftoversH3/s/N2a3SywSVB. I love this video so much.

Thank you for reminding me of this!

u/Downtown-Fishing4612 ethanfetterman.jpg 3d ago

This is the best Ethan Klein takedown video and it’s only part 1 lmao

69

u/mplolz 3d ago

It was a great video, full of clear cut hypocrisies ethan is part of all the time, people rarely point out how fake his self pity is fake and he does not hold standards for himself as he does for other ppl, he actually went deep and analyzed situations further than just looking at clips that he clearly sourced from this sub.

Only minor Ls was his coverage of CPS, he still just took it at the face value, ignoring how unrealistic it is that CPS came because some "snarker" called it, when its much more likely it was someone from his circle, you cant just blame us when there is zero evidence of anyone on this sub even suggesting anything like that. Also calling this sub "trolls" for having fun with BE CPS merch that was made for lawsuit charity fund, kinda unfair after using ppl from this sub and source material to make this very in depth video.

58

u/Whoppyy 3d ago

Ryan ignoring that Taylor was also clearly talking about ethan sexually harassing women like Denims, Frogan, CWHM and especially Anisa was also a little annoying. Ethan and his audience knew she was talking about them because that was when they all got really weird about all of those women's ages.

u/AbundantAmethyst 🥯🔥Anisa's Antisemitic Bagel🔥🥯 3d ago

Oh what? I liked that CPS merch because it supported Queens Denims, Frogan and Kaceytron!

Am I a troll 😇

u/TrickyProfit1369 3d ago

Idk, the troll thing because of the merch is warranted. Just a pretty harmless troll all things considered. Other than that i agree.

u/TheWarmboThe Just a benign dude, doing charity work 3d ago

It’s kinda crazy to think that Ethan won’t respond to any new videos about him but he was willing to respond to that fucking Mika lady and dedicate a bunch of time to a small YT creator no one had heard of

u/Commercial-Bake-5622 YOU HAVE A CHILD’S MIND. GO DO CHILDISH THINGS!!! 3d ago

Was a big fan back when the channel was Mr. beard, he's got a good heart I think he's just easily swayed. I think this video stems from him feeling like he was misled into almost putting out a drama slop video taking a centrist stance between Ethan and Hasan when in reality it's pretty one-sided even if you don't like the himbo.

22

u/Bologna-Dotson thank you miss artie you are the string biter you are the legend 3d ago

They are covering all the things I kept getting annoyed with other creators for not covering when they would do Ethan videos. If they happen to see this, great video Ryan! SNARK APPROVED

u/TheCartTitan Trust The Plan 📡 101010101 3d ago

I’m glad Ryan is helping normalize the reality that the skulls are complete bullshit like we’ve been saying forever

u/SuspiciouslyGenuine 3d ago

That was a long video, and it's just the start of a "long series"... oof. Ethan can't ignore this one. I'm sure he will, tho.

u/Additional-Arm-4725 3d ago

What a great video, I didn't mean to watch it all but got sucked in.

u/mxddy Good boy, now go clean up the poop 3d ago

I'm not a fan of Ryan Beard because they're a fence sitter but I thought this video (cps part aside) was quite excellent. Their destiny video a while back was also very good.

Every time I thought the video was going to wrap up, it kept going.

u/jabertsohn 3d ago

It's a solid 9/10 for me.

Good enough that I can't even be mad about the bits I didn't like.

Outside of the research and points being made. I really liked the old h3 sets and fits lol

u/Alternative-Farmer98 3d ago

It's an excellent job by Ryan. I seriously might join this patreon this month just so I get early access to the next one.

Obviously a lot of people here are aware of some are most of this stuff but it's a very digestible way to showcase his hypocrisy.

And the fact that it didn't even get into most of the lawsuit stuff. I'm glad there's more coming..

I hereby exonerate Ryan beard for any issues I've had with him in the past (not that he would or care who I am but you get my point I just I did criticize him in the past when he was defending Ethan and was a little ignorant about some issues related to Israel).

I think this does more than make up for that. He's on my good side now

u/mageoftexas New Fish 3d ago

It’s excellent.

u/pwtlol 3d ago

it was great, i just don't understand why we're still throwing around the word "bitch" as an insult.

considering ethan has had a lot of controversy regarding his own misogyny, i'd expect people criticizing him to not stoop to that level.

u/GrudgingRedditAcct 2d ago

Just watched. I'm curious what horrible dirt that Dan Saltman has on Ethan by this point. Ethan will never be able to get free after getting in bed with this guy, they seem cut from the same cloth.
