Ethan Klein's recent tweet (h3h3 DLC man) (DO NOT DERAIL)

[🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡]

Moderators locked the first topic just because it was derails, I suggest we have this conversation again without derailing, please.

No reason for the moderators to lock this topic if you keep it clean, it is a discussion about what is in the title of this thread, we should be able to keep talking about it if we do not derail it. (unless moderation is unfair, which I don't believe. Please don't make me lie, community)

It is pretty shocking to have a DLC character claim the murder of others would be a good thing.

OVERKILL is actively advertising this man by selling a character in his direct image and voice. It is explicitely implied that this is the same man as the PAYDAY character.

You can buy and send money (money from h3h3 dlc goes to him) to a man that says bombing other people is a good ide, straight through PAYDAY 2. Do you support this business model? I do not.

"but in this game we murder cop and civilian xddd", I hear you say, however, there is a strong difference between killing virtual enemies and killing people in real life.

This is not OK. H3h3 collaboration needs to end now.

The pack was made over years ago with no releation over current events. Unfortunately whatever we wan't we may not get and everythign is ultimately decided by Overkill, will they actually adress this or not.

School shooter DLC when? Sorry to be shocking but this is exactly what this is about: why should OVERKILL pay this man?

This kind of feels like now attackign Overkill, what are they actually in support of Ethan because the old pack is now caught up into this new scandal? Overkill don't deserve this. All you needed to say is was how you feel the pack should be removed as its not apropriate anymore, and not pretend what the pack isn't [and wasnt for litruel years] and also half attack the devs.

You gonna provide some context or are we gonna have to take your word this isn't the usual "streamer made a dark humour joke and people took it literally so now cancel culture is happening" faux-drama.

Ethan in i think a podcast said this,

Hila: "I literally dont know what to do and i feel hopeless, and i feel like theres zero hope."

Ethan: "Yeah I dont know. I was wondering... saw there was a big protest outside the NRA meeting which was good. Do we have any insight into what theyre actually talking about there at the NRA meeting thats today in texas. Someone should bomb that building."

Man off camera: "Dont-"

Ethan: "Okay, Ill roll that back"

Man off camera: "Roll that back immediately"

Hila: "Everything *but* violence" (everyones laughing)

Ethan has been very emotional about the Ulvade situation and judging from the clip it felt like either something he said out of frustration and immediately regretted saying or a bad joke that he realized probably wouldnt fly.

Well, more accurately, a person who has a fictional counterpart in PAYDAY 2 by OVERKILL Studio is encouraging 2.9 million subscribers to bomb an office and you're laughing. In-game!Ethan is innocent of this particular crime, the same way that real life!Ethan isn't responsible for the collective millions of murders and thousands of robberies his fictional counterpart is responsible for.

Not that it makes real life!Ethan's actions any more defensible, of course.

"Fictional counterpart" it is literally him thouh. Same wife. Same job (youtuber/bomber), "h3h3 pack" is the name of dlc (just like real man h3h3).

OVERKILL advertises a guy who invites you to bomb an office.

School shooter DLC when? Sorry to be shocking but this is exactly what this is about: why should OVERKILL fund this man? Encouraging to bomb an office? It's America, one of his 2.8 million subs will do it.

Except it's not literally him. It's a fictional character who happens to share most of the same backstory, looks, and details. By your logic, we should be locking up Bob Barker for assault because his identical character on Happy Gilmore got into a fistfight with the titular character.

I'm not trying to defend real-life!Ethan's actions, and I'd be perfectly okay with Overkill trying to distance themselves from him over it, but let's act somewhat rationally here, okay?

Same wife
Same beer
Same familly
Same show. It's him. He does not even have a nickname like John Cleese is Aldstone or Eric Etebari is Dallas, no, it's straight up Ethan Klein from h3h3

The DLC is a billboard for his brand, "h3h3 dlc pack". Sorry to break it to you, it's him that OVERKILL advertises, not a fictional clone. Him and a bomb threat, of all things.

And yet, not same person. Unless you're suggesting that the real Ethan Klein is inside my computer right now, getting ventilated by a SWAT Turret as I type this.

Serious question, was the suit in the game the actual p*******o? Or was it just the creation of one? The argument here is whether some things are ok or not. Did overkill act rationally then?

[🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡]

So the suit is a fictional suit? So not peophile. Reput suit in the game now then

Search "Ethan Klein advocates bombing an NRA conference" on browser. There are articles about it already.

It's also highlighted on KiwiFarms as we speak right now.

Going off of Twodots' logic? Apparently so. Apparently fiction and real-life are the exact same thing.

It's almost like a fictional character isn't the real person (or again, we'd be locking up Bob Barker for his character's actions in Happy Gilmore). Once again, I'm not trying to defend Ethan. Frankly, if Overkill decided right now to end their collaboration to the full extent that they're allowed to, legally, I'll be one of the first to applaud it. But I'm not the one claiming that a fictional person is the same as a real one.

Its not his logic, its overkill logic. That wasnt a joke, they really did remove it.
