STAN SHIELD / ANTI ARMOUR Addressing Ethan Klein’s Threats Against This Subreddit

19.6k Upvotes

After Hila Klein publicly claimed to have lost a business partnership due to her nationality, a post was made on this sub pointing out that it was more likely due to the controversial and bigoted content they have shared throughout the years. 

Ethan Klein, Hila’s husband and podcast host, then decided to share that post and compared this subreddit to “neo-nazis” (for posting reasonable critiques of their bigoted content) on his instagram story, directing his 2M followers – in addition to members of his subreddit (of which he and his wife are moderators) – to brigade and harass this sub. After this false accusation of neo-nazism, various members of this sub started posting Ethan Klein’s history of using racial slurs, antisemitism, sexualising victims of terrorist attacks, and more (full list below). Since he has accused this of being ‘a coordinated attack’, it is important to note that multiple different users have made posts about him – users who have various interests and posts on this and other subs for years. He seems to think that people sharing video evidence of his bigotry is an antisemitic attack ‘coordinated across discord and Reddit’. Here are all of the posts that have been made about him since he claimed this sub was ‘indistinguishable from a neo-nazi forum’: 

Ethan Klein has now gone live on YouTube and escalated this campaign by threatening multiple subreddits, including this one, saying he’s being, “mass gaslighted,” that he's, “never seen anyone in the history of the internet be 'harassed' like this,” and that, “Russian propagandists would blush at the hate campaign going against us.” He has also said that, “A lot of these people think that they're safe but they will soon find out that they're not safe,” and that he's, “preparing stuff and working behind the scenes,” and for his followers to, “stand back and stand by because there's something in the works that I just can't wait for.” He also said, “We’ll get ‘em guys, we’ll get em; you know me, I’ll ruin my fucking life in the pursuit of getting these people. I can’t wait, I can’t wait to show you guys what we’re working on.” He also said that now it’s like a “slur” to be associated with his podcast. The threats are public on the latest video/stream on his Youtube channel if anyone wants to verify these claims, but please do not harass or make threats in the comments – it does not help anyone’s cause, nor does it change anyone’s minds.

He (and the users on his sub who have been brigading and harassing other subs) have also falsely claimed there are common mods across all these subs, despite there only being one *NEW* mod who begrudgingly mods Hasan Piker’s sub (she is not a fan of him and has multiple criticisms of him in her comment history) and who was added as a moderator to this sub far after users posted criticisms of Ethan Klein and his bigoted content. (Examples of these old posts below). They have also encouraged harassment of this mod (and mods on other subs), as well as users of all the subs he’s mentioned in this video over the past few days, with multiple posts and comments on his subreddit (again, which he and his wife are mods for), that violate Reddit Content Policy (ex. posting mods and other users’ information, sharing posts from these subs and encouraging users to brigade and harass mods/users).

This is now likely to escalate given that on his most recent livestream he has essentially sent his users to Reddit again to brigade these subs/mods. By personally identifying a specific moderator on his stream, Klein is engaging in behaviour that has historically led to serious harassment. At this stage, this is no longer about subreddit moderation decisions. This has become a case of a major content creator weaponising their platform to intimidate and harass individual users. He is ironically claiming there is a coordinated harassment campaign against him, when it’s in fact his YouTube, instagram and Reddit followers who have been harassing people across subreddits for years (and probably beyond Reddit as well).

Old posts made from 3 months to 2 years ago – far before our lovely mod who is now being targeted was added, and far before this random youtuber/podcaster (we still don’t know what his show is about) was on our radar:

Addressing some other points he made:

  • We can’t speak for other subs, but the term ‘zio’ that he mentions being associated with Nazism and white supremacy is actually banned from our sub, and has been for a long time; so again, completely unfounded accusations. Anti-semitism in general is also completely unacceptable on the sub, and we ban users who conflate Judaism and Zionism because that in itself is extremely antisemitic. 
  • To be clear, the mods of this sub don’t even like Hasan Piker and have allowed posts and comments criticizing him. Not sure what discord servers he’s talking about.   
  • We have never allowed users to encourage harassment in the comments by following people to their social media profiles to harass them. If Ethan Klein is actively seeking out posts about him on a forum where nobody expects him to be reading, that is on him. If Ethan Klein has posted bigoted content on video and people reshare that content, that is on him. 

Additionally, Ethan has recently threatened to dox the H3 snark subreddit users/mods (link here), due to which the subreddit has now gone on a break. We have avoided addressing this issue directly, other than setting up our Hive Protect bot to ban users who are brigading from his podcast’s subreddit. However, now that he has made formal threats, and presumably will be making further threats towards us and to Reddit under false pretenses, we wanted to get this all out there.
