1 sure looks like him activating a shock collar because he doesn't want her allowed to do anything other than sit in one designated spot while he's doing his stream

2 is self-explanatory

I care about what is true and often I want to dig to the bottom of it.

You could say it's not a good way to be, and depending on the triviality of the subject matter you might be right. But I definitely don't think it's the worst thing in the world to have that mindset.

Also, just because everyone talked to me about Ethan Klein and he showed up in my YouTube anyway, I am now watching him for the first time, talking about this controversy.

Edit: WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE now half my YouTube recommendations is streamer bullshit

The topics and people we choose to spend time and effort on speak quite a bit about what matters to us. It means something that this story captured this much of your attention, it isn't neutral truth seeking.

I dont think it's healthy to be this invested in a stranger's relationship with their dog. That it involves a public figure you've had strong reactions to before makes me think this is just parasocial indulgence.

Fyi, this is called concern trolling.

Didn't you just post a bunch of pure bullying videos about Ethan Kline?

I tried to watch Ethan Kline today for the first time, and it was too much bullshit for me to even want to be a part of for more than a few minutes. The man looks like a sickly Victorian orphan. A video about Ethan Kline and what a big poopy head he is, is not something I would ever consider watching let along posting. I tried to watch your video and all I can say is, I don't think you should be giving advice to anyone along this particular axis.

Watching a video passively is one thing, it's another thing to do all this:

!after someone provides a video of the abuse, has a lengthy discussion about the plausibility of theories like "it's a GPS collar" and goes through individual frames to show what they're talking about or timelapses of a longer amount of the stream!<

Ultimately idgaf, im just telling you what it looks like to see someone go to this amount of trouble, especially for a public figure they've already shown distaste for, and especially since you've also previously elaborated at length about how you think about your contributions to online spaces through a political lense.
