[Podcast] I had to say it
I think it’s always hilarious when they have steiny on. Yes he is dumb af, constantly deflecting, and hanging with horrible people. But… it’s funny when they make fun of him and he accepts it. Idk I like when he comes on to be roasted it brings me joy

u/Infinite-Ad-3947 12h ago
I loved how Ethan brought up tates association with Kanye and tates tweets about Jews. He knew that would make Steiny see what he was talking about. It's like people are forgetting Steiny was like "wtf..." when he saw that

u/rjsnowolf What Are We Going To Do About It? 1d ago
Ppl are acting like they didn't spend a long ass time pressing him for hanging with Tate. That's literally all the difference when platforming someone.
Say a young Steiny or Bradley viewer tuned in to watch their segment, they are now exposed to the crew challenging Tate's harmful rhetoric, while also seeing that people can remain respectful throughout the converstation. That is EXTREMELY needed right now.
50
u/medeforest95 1d ago
Agreed! I think reaching out to people like them and challenging their views is what could actually make a difference. We need to break through some of their echo chambers and shunning them isn’t going to do that.

u/bakedbarista It's Happening!!!! 1d ago

u/Infinite-Ad-3947 12h ago
I still think a lot of people being obtuse about all of this are infiltrators lol. Trying to get the community mad at Ethan for having him on, just so people can be mad at him about something. Yes before ppl come and say "I'm actually a fan and I hate when he's on" I'm not talking about you. If you check some of these commenters comment history they like only show up to be whiney about the show and take every joke Ethan says seriously lol

u/Eins_Nico HILA KLEINER 11h ago

u/egon0212 IM ETHAN BRADBERRY 1d ago
Bingo. "Cancelling" people is not how you change minds and build allies.
14
u/Eins_Nico HILA KLEINER 1d ago
Yup. "cancelling" people means that only people with even shittier, more insane ideas will be around them, so they're probably just going to double/triple down. Look how the right opens their arms wide the second anyone on the left gets shat on. They're hoping for it.

u/ewslash 🎨 Cameron 's Art Club 1d ago
They are also now exposed to the deflection tactics he uses so that he can continue pulling the same bullshit while people defend him on the merit that he’s a “nice guy”. There’s a reason h3 has such a large amount of women and queers watching, and it’s got nothing to do with having drywall for brained shills like steiny.

u/AtleastIthinkIsee 1d ago
A voice of reason.
I don't know where the tipping point is for people in this continual argument. This dude has proved time and time again that he's not interested changing his views or who he associates with. It's not cute, it's not funny and he doesn't give a shit.
He could be on ten more times and exhibit the same sensibilities without flinching. The dude does not give a shit. He only cares about how it benefits him.

u/kamelpulle 1d ago
We don't need to agree with all people. I thoroughly enjoy when he's on. Honestly I'm tiered of the narrative that you have to completly separate from people you don't fully agree on. Who knows, maybe Ethan can change him.
86
u/MercenaryDecision 1d ago
Exactly, that mentality reeks of utmost intolerance. This approach is about tolerance, empathy, learning, and ultimately cultivating a higher understanding.
This is infinitely better than dehumanizing the other side and expecting them to come kneeling down.
17
u/kamelpulle 1d ago
Yes, very well put! I think it's great that there is a bridge from people like Ethan to people like Steiny. It's unexpected, but it's good for the conversation.

u/Senor_Moreno 1d ago
Agree 100%. And to go even further on this point, Ethan is and has literally been dealing with the same attitude from the far left that some people are giving towards steiny. Granted, yes, Steiny is ACTUALLY collaborating with bad people sure, all he is and has been to those people is a useful idiot. I don't believe that Steiny has done anything maliciously as much as he has done so ignorantly.
The kid is just a frat bro, and a funny one at that. The steiny hate is frankly, pretty ridiculous and gives me a similar kind of ick that I get from Hasan and crew even if it's a little more valid. Another thing to point out is, you don't change people for the better by treating them like shit. Having him on, and educating him the way they have been can actually be a fantastic thing if he is as ignorant as he says he has been.

Jimmie Lee v2.0
28
u/astropiter 1d ago
What I personally got from Jimmie's appearances on the show was how to handle like a uncle/grandpa/older colleague figure that you can't really get rid of from your life, because you know they're good at their heart or you just can't (cause they're there), and you want them to learn how to manage their toxic traits, or that they can't just say some things anymore and how can those be hurtful, or how their presumptions about people or society became invalid and they should be fixed. Ethan and the crew tried very well with Jimmie to help him become a better person, modernize his comedy etc. And I learned much from their interactions, cause I do too have people like Jimmie in my life and I can't really antagonize them and just want them to be better.
And I feel the same with Steiny. Listen closely how Ethan and the crew talks with him, what they are trying to do and you'll see, whenever your younger brother or a college roommate come with similar position in life you'll be able to really make a change in their life and maybe even a whole society.
If you antagonize someone enough they will eventually become the antagonist. You need to understand where they're coming from and go from that when speaking to them and then you're gonna have the best chance to change someone's mind.
Of course all I've said works until it is clear that that person has some goodness in their heart, when that preposition goes, the person goes - and so Jimmie went. Hope it won't be the case with Steiny.
Sorry for hijacking :P

and i genuinely find him more tolerable to watch than jimmie. we’ll see if it’s naive and optimistic but he does seem like the kind of person who is easily influenced by those around him. so if he’s around a few more people like ethan and the crew more often, i think that’s a good influence. pointing out why he’s a fuckhead in the meantime is also good.

u/Front_Midnight_6082 1d ago
Steiny is, by all accounts a nice person. We shouldn't be kicking people like this out of our tent. sure he's misguided, and I agree with Ethan that he's somewhat immature. But we shouldn't be villainizing people like this for our own self gratification.
21
u/Frequent-War-537 1d ago
I think it’s good having people like Steiny and Bratly on, they might make dumb choices and hang with questionable people but they are the must reachable and reasonable from that sphere and you might not change their behavior but maybe something rubs off on them and they pass that along to someone else. You are not going to change any minds if you are not talking to the other side. You make peace with your enemies not with your friends.

u/PatienceJaded5709 1d ago
I agree. Steiny is a good lolcow and seems like a decent person even if his politics are idiotic and he’s been around bad people. At least Ethan is trying to educate him.

u/OmegaBerryCrunch 1d ago
im with you OP. also i’m sorry but, people that get upset with them having steiny on are babies. dude is always entertaining and a fun guest, and he’s one of the more self aware nelk dudes.

People.. in real life.. dont see eye to eye. But with peace and love some folks on here act like Ethan is having steiny on to give a pitch about how great Andrew Tate is or something. Hanging out with a peice of shit like Andrew Tate is awful and he said as much to his face live on the show! Be normal people <3

He’s an adult making clear choices to support bad people. Don’t infantilize him and make him more innocent somehow. He knows what he’s doing and he’s displaying his values clearly.

u/coolideg 1d ago
And we are laughing at him for it. He’s a massive nerd whose girlfriend left him after simple questions on a podcast. And then he went back on that podcast to get goofed on more in the off chance one of the women on that podcast would date him.
No one in that room or in the audience is cheering him on. Laugh at him with us. He’s a dork of the highest degree

Keep telling yourself that as he gains money, followers and favor from his appearances with Ethan.

poor thing, you probably thought you cooked with this too, huh?
How did anyone give money to Steiny by watching him get roasted on H3? I don't watch his content, I didn't even know who he was until he showed up on the pod, and now I know him as "that dumbass frat boy." How exactly did this benefit him?-2

u/Chance-Sprinkles-184 1d ago
Newsflash, half the country supports those kinds of dipshits. If you really care about making a change in the toxic conservative manosphere - you have to build a bridge and get to understand them. Then hopefully they will learn and change their ways, especially when they have friends like Ethan who consistently challenges their views and educates them.

u/More_Interaction1215 1d ago
growing up in a red state really taught me that i know im right and if they come around great if not it’s gonna be rough for them. it’s stupid to close yourself off from a disagreement when there’s a chance they’ll have some sort of realization. it’s not like they treated him like a king anyway lol

u/Klutzy-Rooster-6805 1d ago
Also them treating Ethan's show as a personal "safespace" is quite funny
13
u/Chance-Sprinkles-184 1d ago
I’m a liberal, but the left is too woke for me sometimes. Like we have got to stop crying and shunning people, and start understanding and educating them to be better. I was once a “conservative” (I even supported Trump in 2016 eww so embarrassing lol) because I was raised by conservative religious parents and I lived in a bubble. How did I turn liberal? I got older, I met new people, I had new experiences, I saw different perspectives, and I ultimately became more educated and aware of social injustices. People can change and grow.
8
u/Klutzy-Rooster-6805 1d ago
I probably had the same experience, except supporting trump, although I did find the "triggered" and "libtards getting owned" memes quite funny and entertaining at the time. I feel like the audience is separated in 2 parts; the people that have matured, grown, changed and experienced life vs. the people that have lived with ideologies as coping mechanisms for their lives. idk if that even makes sense but yeah.

u/pavichokche 1d ago

u/JustCallMeHunter02 What Are We Going To Do About It? 1d ago
TBH it's good having Steiny get checked on things so he can just maybe wake up and see another POV because when he's just surrounded by frat bros all day he's just getting the same opinion and nothing changes. Having friends with different backgrounds and healthy debates about things can be good for both sides.
5
u/RobAChurch 1d ago
Yeah, people forget the podcast is essentially a super long variety show with guests, bits and discussions with a humorous slant. A common staple of that is having guests you don't agree with on to have controlled conflict for entertainment without actual vicious, personal attacks.
It's more important for the audience to see and understand why Steiny is wrong than it is for the Steinster himself to actually change, although it would be a cool bonus if he did.
3
u/CardOfFlips 1d ago
He kept saying he’s never seen the videos or things about him … show him! And if he still doesn’t care then that’s extra iffy. Steiny has been such a fun and surprising addition to the podcast.
4
u/2pixelwide 1d ago
I think people have a vitriolic negative reaction to him being on because it forces us to have a sliver of respect for him to be willing to put himself in that situation. And having any respect for that guy is uncomfortable.

u/noahbiggs1 HILA KLEINER 1d ago
I don't think he's a bad person, I think he's just dumb and the bad people are nice to him so he likes them.

u/CCB0x45 1d ago
He's not dumb, he has an audience that overlaps with tate, that's his bread and butter, he knows what he is doing.
That being said I like Steiny and at least he will not blindly agree with anything being said and tends to hold reasonable opinions, and he's funny. It's good to bridge some of these gaps.

u/heymynameisjavi 1d ago
i agree
me personally i dont like the guy enough to support or watch him on my own, but i do feel sum more for him than i do bradley
bradley just gives me “ill tell u what u wanna hear” vibes with ethan. he does that to every guest. like, no backbone. i dont think he a bad person, but i just genuinely think he doesnt care enough about anything that isnt gym or benefits him
steiny to me is just a lil dumb and silly😂but at least he is a cool sport about things and banters with ethan like normal friends do
plus the whole “its ai” picture was hilarious 😂

u/LibraryGhostCat Dan The Lover 1d ago
I think it’s good and important to have conversations with people!!! I don’t understand wanting to ice him out- it’s not a healthy or productive mentality to say we have to excise everyone who does or thinks bad things. We all have to coexist, isn’t it better that Ethan is willing to challenge him but still be friends? This kind of militancy is exactly how the left ends up losing by a landslide. We need to build bridges. Also, he’s funny, and I think the episodes where he comes on are good. I like the dynamic.
3
u/Enlightened_D Lovebot 1d ago
I agree with OP and this Steiny situation kind of shows how toxic the community can be or maybe it’s just Reddit and chatters. We talk about these echo chambers and then people cry and scream about having people like Steiny on not realizing this is exactly how you become another echo chamber you all complain about
3
u/Karf 1d ago
Him lying about the bathroom picture then admitting that he looked fiiiine was so hilarious. Steiney is a ridiculous person, and that's how you hurt the red pill movement- you show how ridiculous they are acting. You don't ignore them. You confront them. Anyone who doesn't understand that has a cooked brain. Cancel culture isn't the way - we need confrontation culture.

u/dontmatterdontcare ALFREDO 1d ago
It’s such a travesty he supports and kicks it with Andrew Tate. Other than that I think Steiny is pretty alright. He has good chemistry with Ethan and it’s that kinda vibe when you do playful ribbing with friends you trust.
3
u/CallMeCartoon 1d ago
Steiny is a relatively controversial character. This is a classic h3 fan dilemma. Some hate him on the show, some enjoy him. We need a good poll to resolve this.
3
u/AnotherSilentDay FAMILY 13h ago
To me it’s a realistic way that people interact. You will have people in your life that you love, but vehemently disagree with. It is healthy to have these kinds of conversations with those around you and push back when you think it’s necessary.
Also to clarify, I’m not talking about people that are horrible, like straight up nazis. If you feel unsafe or hurt because of someone around you, cut them off immediately.
Let’s be realistic, most people don’t live online 24/7 and they don’t know everything that an informed, chronically online person would know. So if you have strong opinions and someone doesn’t disagree, it doesn’t always mean they’re a bad person. We have to stop with this mentality of cutting people off. I believe that just divides us further.

u/throwaway_for_Q IM ETHAN BRADBERRY 12h ago
I like his dynamic with Ethan a lot. And the whole exchange with Bradley, Steiny, Ethan was gold lmao. Steiny brings a kinda chaotic, but overall well-meaning, energy to the show that has really grown on me

u/Tubbish 1d ago
People don’t realize if you just cancel someone or write Ethen off because you disagree they’ll just continue believing/behaving that way. If steiny was being honest and he’s never seen that video of Andrew beating the girl or any of the other nasty comments he’s made then I don’t think he should never be back. This is the only way you’ll ever change someone’s mind or perspective.

u/gabrielcev1 Dan The Lover 1d ago edited 1d ago
I get for women especially the topic of trafficking and assault is very sensitive so Steiny association with Tate can hurt some viewers. But damn it's so funny and I can't help but like Steiny aside from his trash political takes and the people he associates with. It's very funny when he gets roasted. I enjoy him on the show but I fully understand why this bothers people and I empathize with it. Personally I have friends who like and defend Tate, and yes they are dumbasses but they still are my friends. And I take every chance I get to tell them how dumb they are for liking a sex trafficker, but I never get through to them. Some people are too dumb to be reached.

u/akibaboy65 1d ago
The manosphere lives in their own echo chamber and some of them are conscious of that, and don’t step out of it. Steiny is an example of someone who isn’t smart enough / is already rich enough to not really care about maintaining the bubble. It’s nice to see.

He just seems uninformed if he just takes the time to educate himself then who knows maybe Ethan can influence him. BUT that's a reach ofc. ppl like him grew up with that mindset so maybe over time who knows

u/SudoDarkKnight 1d ago
Yep. I find him funny. I'm sick of the word "platforming" and any person H3 talks about, good or bad, is getting a boost by being talked about. People will go check out their shit if brought up on H3, in person or otherwise. Get over it
I'm here to be entertained. I watch because the show is funny, usually.
The fucking fun sponges in this community are so annoying constantly trying to dictate who the crew and Ethan should be allowed to speak with or spend time with.
1
u/AnotherSilentDay FAMILY 13h ago
Agreed. I think “platforming” means to endorse in a positive light. Just because you bring something or someone up doesn’t mean you’re always endorsing what they’re saying. People keep saying “platforming” as a gotcha moment but like…. It’s okay to talk about other people on the internet. Like I didn’t join hustlers university just because I heard about Tate through H3, c’mon now LOL

100% this, how are you downvoted?? I thought this community was better than this, he’s actively promoting this sort of shit ALL THE TIME.

u/BleachThatHole AI IAN 1d ago
Sure, but I can’t really forget how he truly treats people and thinks of women. Same w Keem and how he bullies vulnerable people like Etika for a living.
Yeah, they can do a thing that makes me laugh but they still hate and think people like me and my family/ friends are less-than. I dont like seeing that.

I personally see a benefit to it but also I understand the criticism. We should not live in echo chambers, which is a problem a lot of podcasts run into, especially the ones Steiny usually goes on or is a part of. Forcing him to acknowledge that he’s platforming a human trafficking woman beating rapist is how you get people to take a step back and hopefully try to take accountability, even if it’s internally. A right winger might take a chance on H3 to watch Steiny on their pod and might realize how toxic his own community really is. Obviously this isn’t always the case, but even if you’re able to reach one person and that ends up being Steiny, who has a massive audience and could potentially bring some of that knowledge to them, that’s a win. I’m a teacher and I believe that people can change with education and tough blunt conversations that challenge your beliefs. It’s how we come together in the worst of times.

So tired of this shit. He’s a bad person. Who gives a shit if he’s funny sometimes. So is Trump. You cool with having him on?

If they challenged Trump's politics like they did with Steiny then yes that would be a fantastic idea.

That’s a genuine belief of yours? You think if trump went on h3, it would be a net positive?

It would be better than him going on Fox or Rogan, who would let him spout off whatever nonsense unchallenged. Isn't that obvious?
Also answer my original question, how is any of this me being delusional?

It’s not the same thing though. Ethan has the ability to challenge Steiny’s viewpoints that may actually lead to him considering whether his views and actions are good enough, and ultimately lead him to act differently. That wouldn’t be the case with Trump.

This is not the right meme for this. Steiny is not worth any real defending or support right now.
Not holding even the smallest inconsequential “celebrities” to who they associate themselves with is kinda one of the reasons America is the way it is, don’t you think?

Olivia will NEVER. She saw that selfie. We all saw the selfie. Any self respecting female which he claims he wants, would never be interested. Wonder if he sniffed the tates chair

Look I don’t care if they have Steiny on since they do grill him and have tough convos with him, but all of this “he’s just stuck as a teenager, he’s just a frat boy, he just doesn’t see that Tate is a bad guy because Tate’s always been nice to him” is excusing rape apologia.
