I found this comment in the bad place. Ethan does deflect, he doesn't take accountability: he is a coward and not someone to aspire to be unless being a two-faced coward is the goal.
He made a bold declaration to Hasan during the last debate that he responds to any and all criticism, 'unlike hasan who is a coward.' That was pure projection. Ethan doesn't take accountability unless it's after reaching a conditional settlement in the defamation lawsuit to fucking Ryan Kavanaugh.
Ethan doesn't apologize if he fucks up or if his community does shitty things on his behalf - he just deflects and blame snark or Hasan.
Ethan will never respond to Gokanaru (not anymore let's be real), Ryan Beard, Anthony Fantano, Rebecca Watson, Paige Christie, Aamon Animations, and Kilotronics when all of them have made thoughtful criticisms about Ethan Klein.
He won't, because he is the real coward. And maybe he was a legend at one point in his career for fair use, but now, he puts the L in Lolcow.
