At least you can talk. Who are you?
Yeah this is how I feel. Feels like really bad pandering to his audience.

H3h3 makes fun of extreme situations.
Not all feminists or women or people who feel harassed are like this woman, but then also not all people who like to pick up women are like the creepy pick up artists, not all people who have unusual sexual interests are attracted to amusement park rides, not all videogame fans are like the crazy PAC man guy.
Most adults know that and can differentiate between criticism of the extreme and the actions of regular people who might identify with that group.
If you think someone is immune to criticism just because they said harassment or the criticism could relate to social justice you're wrong.
Any ideal or paradigm of society taken to its extreme can be twisted to be harmful or shameful.
Plus they tend to highlight "cringe" videos which this was definitely one. The dude who did the creepy make out videos and Starbucks thing was just as socially awkward and inept as this lady was being. And possibly as desparate for attention.

jesus christ, that guy was next level cringe. i couldn't imagine myself wanting attention that badly.
If my facebook feed started to look like that I would have to stop logging in.
Saw this coming.
So it has to do with tags, eh? That's how the robots is handling this monetization thing, then.

That's kind of the biggest problem with most cringey videos that channels like H3H3 talk about: The idea that the person recorded it and thought "Yeah, this is good enough to upload on youtube." The dude making those creepy kiss videos look at the stuff he makes and goes "Yeah, I nailed it. This totally wasn't a creepy flop at all."
It's super fucked up.

Okay, I'm lost. Always thought "warrior" was meant to be the insult?
it's been used ironically, unironically, as a positive, and as a negative. Especially when attached to a myriad of other things online to try and drum up support for, or disregard entirely the various social and political stances people take.
I forget where exactly (i think youtube), but I distinctly recall someone calling someone else a Keurig warrior for liking them too much, and I couldn't tell if they were being facetious or not.
i shoulda took a screenshot

You thought this about the term warrior in itself? SJW as a phrase is a pejorative. These commenters are saying she's strong and brave for standing up to Hugh and the security staff.
Probably referring to the Facebook comments.
Edit: Oh right, the poster said "in here". Don't mind me then.
I don't think I've ever seen Ethan lose his cool like that. He seemed like he was actually really pissed. That's the thing that stood out to me the most. It all just felt kind of bizarre when I was watching it. I kept waiting for them to reveal that they were being ironic. It felt very hateful/angry in a way that I've never seen an H3H3 video be.
seems more like frustration than hate
He just seemed disappointed by Youtube's incompetence. Don't think he lost his cool or was pissed at any point during the video, much less hateful/angry.
My bad, I should've pointed out that I was talking about the Hugh Mungus video.

Oh ok so she's not only fucking crazy she's also an outspoken racist?
It was two people in a row calling him creepy. I agree it's not a large amount but it's not just one guy, especially since it seems to be a relatively small group of people that post in this thread (though admittedly I am very new to h3h3 and could be wrong about that).
Calling himself Mike Hunt would have actually been even worse. Mike Hunt is a play on 'my cunt' and not only would that have served to (if even possible, horrific as it may be to imagine) enrage her even more, the term 'cunt' is usually viewed as like the worst swear word of them all and you can bet your bottom dollar this insane woman would have taken it to be him calling her a cunt.
Mike Hunt, Seymore Buttz, Ivana Tinkle, etc, those are all "dirty joke" names (as lame as they may be). Hugh Mungus is about as innocent a fake name as you could ever come up with.
I think there's a chance he was gonna use the name Hugh Mungus as a set up to a joke, but he never got to tell the joke because she got offended instantly.
Or the more likely scenario is he didn't want to give his real name as she was going around yelling at people for their names, shoving the camera in their faces, and he just came up with Hugh Mungus on the spot.
I'd sell for Hugh Mungus

Being a BLM activist doesn't make you a racist.

Since she was going around screaming at people and shoving a camera in their face I'm inclined to believe it's that he just wanted to give a fake name and that was the one he came up with first. The way he delivers it he even pauses between the words to set that it's Hugh Mungus and not Humongous and later on he gestures to his body to further hammer the fact that he himself is humongous and he wasn't setting up another joke beyond the Hugh Mungus first/last name. The other two she screeches at for names (the guards) don't even respond to her after seeing what a commotion she's causing.
I actually read it as she was a protester of BLM, not with BLM. Though given her conduct in the video I wouldn't be surprised if it's the former. But you're right, I shouldn't just jump to that. I did phrase it as a question though so hopefully Echos will come back and clarify. Rereading it though I can totally see it as "she's a BLM supporter and was there protesting a new police station because fuck the police/police brutality" so my bad on that one. Context, WordAssassin, context.

She's a BLM supporter and not a racist from anything I've read. Although labeling the kid Hugh as a "token person of color" because he had a different perspective on the bunker is decidedly uncool. Not that anything else she did in the video was cool anyway.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. Not a racist but still a total fuckin wacko.

Yeah, this is the type of person that SJW was originally meant for, before the alt-right appropriated it to mean anyone to the left of Hitler.

Damn, I'm a newer fan of H3H3, and I agree the lady was batshit and deserved to get dunked on, but when Ethan panders to the kinds of people who unironically use SJW, I almost wanna hit that unsubscribe button and retroactively take back my view lol.
The reason why I like H3H3 is because for all the lowbrow jokes they throw out, they are also mostly rational and levelheaded people who make fun of all sides. Ethan a lame for going for the really stupid and played out terminology and jokes that video smh.
Be better than that shit fam.

I'm surprised this is the video people want to take up a stance against Ethan saying "SJW" when I feel it's the most justified use of it being a negative I've ever seen online. She's making people who care about women/minority rights look terrible to everyone. Not only that, this is the first and only time he's said "SJW" in a video, at least to my knowledge. Under nearly any other situation, I might not of agreed with his use of it, but this video? sheeeeeeeeit
Seems strange how people are ready and eager for Ethan to take down people and stances they are opposed to, but once a video shifts towards their ideologies being in the crosshairs of judgement, even by osmosis, they decide that this is the video going too far.

Personally I try to avoid using the word SJW, much like I don't use words like "feminazis". There are legitimately extreme feminists out there that are out for blood, no doubt, and you could say the word feminazi applies to that specific type of feminist and is in no way a condemnation of feminism as a whole. But when I hear someone say "feminazi", I always wonder if they're using it as a catch-all term to express their disdain for all feminists.
With SJW, I feel the same. When I hear it, I always wonder if the person who's saying it is criticizing a certain type of insufferable people who see social issues where there are none, or if they're hating on even the most legitimate fights for social justice. So I can see why people would be a bit surprised to hear Ethan use it.
That said, it's clear that he's using the word to describe a specific subset of crazy people, not people who fight for social justice in general, so he's still A-OK in my book.

No one here is "triggered"
Yup, agreed completely.
Ethan is using the term like it used to be used before the alt-right nuts started calling everyone an SJW and cuck.
being friendly with someone on twitter means you share world views with them?
you do know that Filthy Frank is a parody of the internet, right?
Sure, but he's commented positively on her videos before that many people here would see as viciously "anti-SJW" and anti-feminist.
I agree with you, being friends with someone that doesn't share your political views is good, but I've seen a lot of posters on GAF shit on people for merely associating with others (AVGN with AOS being a big one) and claim they're complicit in those views. Ethan being friends with a gamergator isn't much different, other than the fact he actually does have some sort of internet politics going on in his videos and has made it clear outside of his videos, whether on Twitter or other people's videos like Jon or Psychicpebbles that he's far closer to the "anti-sjw" side.
see, for talk like this I'd like to see the receipts.
Facebook continues to be the scourge of the internet.

Eh. There's tons of cringe "other side" content that could be used for reaction videos, but haven't seen or expect to see H3H3 ever making a video out of it. Do you?
Where's the bald dude with a crystal skull collection video?
It's pretty clear the only reason he did this Hugh Mungus video is because it was blowing up on Youtube and twitter.
And does Bold Guy not count?
