Let's get one thing straight, Johnny doesn't love Joshua. Johnny is obsessed with Joshua. This isn't, and should never, be looked at as love. Love should be a beautiful thing where you care for each other, trust each other, respect each other, and would do anything for them. I love my furbabies and would do literally anything for them. This is sick and it's obsession. To be so demented that you would say something horrible about that person whenever you can, as Johnny did because he made sure to drop Josh's name whenever he could with the most amount of hatred he could. He wanted to bring pain to Joshua and that's just not love and no one should ever associate that word with those actions. He's is obsessed and has a big problem that maybe he should be talking to a professional about, because I worry he might take this to another level.

[@Idontwant1]

I think Johnny was definitely attracted to Josh. And Josh didn't reciprocate Johnny's advances. I'm thinking Johnny probably was crushed that Josh turned him down. Josh probably told him he wasn't interested in a romantic relationship with him. And I think that when Johnny came out to Josh it wasn't as Johnny claims but it was probably that Johnny told Josh he was interested in him. But Josh told him he was straight and wasn't going to be romantic with him.

[@sariahwilhelm1180]

Johnny’s family is so creepy. They’re the type of parents who would drive their kid to wait outside a KZbinrs house and then get mad when the KZbinr gets upset.

[@xoxocessa]

that's what blows my mind about all of this. his family was in on it as much as johnny was. like they believed josh owed them something, for whatever reason. it's so bizarre.

[@delusi0n]

There was a lot of unnecessary hate for Ethan and as someone that saw the doc first, it was frustrating to see him defend Johnny: but the last time he had seen Johnny he was supposed to be a victim so it honestly would have been more problematic in the grand scheme of things if Ethan immediately jumped on the Johnny hate train at the first excuse. It is okay that he needed more than a few inconsistencies to turn around.

[@erika2m16]

Right. He actually formed his own opinion, which people on KZbin don't usually do. It was a little frustrating to watch but he came to the right conclusion in the end. Because the evidence is there, once you realize Johnny is full of it but Adam's story has been the same since day 1

[@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195]

Agree, I mean it took me some time too while watching the doc. It's just healthy scepticism, everyone should have it. As is the motto of "believe victims", we won't immediately accept everything but we will take everything seriously and not dimiss upfront

[@catonthemoon941]

I agree. For me, at the beginning of the doc, i was sceptical too. but after all swoop found out and how jonny just acted in general, it was just weird, to say the least.

[@mmbluemeanie]

Well he’d also platformed Johnny himself. If I had someone on my show and people later accused them of lying, I’d want the chance to form my own opinion too, to defend myself if necessary. I also think this is a weird situation for Ethan in general because of his fraught history with Trisha. Not excusing him, I did think he was being too flippant at places, but I understand his hesitancy. I would also point out that Johnny, while being a despicable person, is still a victim of Colleen Ballinger’s grooming. He had to learn all of these behaviors from somewhere, and he had the worst role models imaginable.

[@nunpho]

Yeah I think Adams chat have a bit of a hate boner with Ethan. Maybe they didn't know that Ethan didn't know the latest part of the story and the point of this show was to listen to Olivia do her PowerPoint (graphic design is her passion✨). I notice even the h3 chat gets like this. Imo Ethan was doing the right thing considering he didn't know what happened. He doesn't want swarms of people to attack John Boy. I actually like that he thinks out loud and processes stuff. The same happened when he was going through the Jonah hill story.

[@femmecomm]

I think live chat was being a bit harsh to Ethan. He was learning about it through Olivia's powerpoint and I can see not wanting to immediately rip into someone that he initially thought was a legitimate victim in all this. It's a tricky thing to dive in on without the full context and information because of Johnny framing himself as a victim.

[@casna5400]

And he was incorrect and it was brought up a whopping few minutes later. His point is kinda on though- hold Johnny accountable but for someone who is this delusional about being a victim-don’t say things to fluff his ego into being some martyr

[@cady__]

Their live chat is always brutal

[@foreverwander0320]

Honestly yes, I’ve seen Ethan doing it before. He doesn’t start a war with someone until he’s suuure they deserve it. So he plays devil’s advocate at the beginning, but he comes around.

[@femmecomm]

I get what you're saying for sure but I think in the beginning before Olivia got through to the baaaad stuff he was trying to be somewhat charitable. I think he did realize Johnny is not deserving of the benefit of the doubt though. All Swoop's findings are incredibly damning. Also, if you're watching the H3 live when you've seen Swoop's video, you know what's coming and how awful it is.@@casna5400

[@victrola2007]

Can we ALL agree that it's great to see Adam smile?! 🥰🥳🌞‼

[@tleigh4583]

I know it was annoying to some people that Ethan kept getting confused, but watching the H3 pod live having no clue about the Swoop doc prior, I was also confused at times and him getting clarification helped me understand better. Now I’m watching more content about it after the fact. So I definitely think it’s still a net win! This is a common podcast strategy, where one person acts as the layman with no prior knowledge of the subject at hand. They mirror the viewer, often making it more engaging because they ask questions that the audience is thinking. So while it may be frustrating for people that already have the whole picture, it does serve a purpose!

[@HollhouseVanHouten]

He had basically said on the DWKT podcast that when josh gave him his number after a show they went on to have a much deeper and concern worthy relationship than in reality. That was why people were listening to his story and giving him the time, he made it out like this inappropriate relationship began before he was a legal adult and that Josh had slipped him his number on the sly. From the time he went on the DWTK podcast, he started adding more and more details that weren’t adding up. The truth is he was under 18 when Josh gave him his number but his parents were with him and were aware of & excited about the fact that Josh had given him his number as opposed to it being this big deal and secret correspondence between them.

he probably wants to be, given how easily he disregards true victims. he thinks it's something to be envied and deserve attention for, and that's what he ultimately wants, with that greedy personality. to be envied and to have attention on him.

[@cady__]

Based on the way he flip flops and goes back and forth I Genuinely believe he knows he wasn’t groomed. He contradicts himself so much and at different times recognizes he did not actually have an actual real personal relationship with Josh. At one point he says (paraphrasing) not even knowing the dude personally to this day. One time he questions if he’s just harassing them. He sprinkled the truth in a couple times, but his need for attention and villifying Josh for not reciprocating the type of friendship he wanted makes me realize he knows he’s lying he just sees his own needs as being more important than the truth.

Ex-Mentor and Theatre teacher here. Healthy mentorships are absolutely possible, but they require structure, and systems of accountability. I had to do background checks, there was a clear system of report for both myself, and the kids. Boundaries were set to email only, outside of office hours, and emails were always CC’d to my supervisor. While I had personal, and even loving relationships with these kids, while they were in my life, it was never unsupervised, and never outside of the bounds set to keep everyone involved safe. Fandoms ain’t that. Johnny sucks. I feel so bad for Josh. Having someone twist, what genuinely seems like someone who just wanted to help a kid thrive. Adam saying John was in love with Josh makes Josh’s reaction to Johnny coming out make SO MUCH more sense. Also, ALSO, all of the behavior was supervised by his parents, while he was a minor! Adam’s mom, shout-out to you again for seeing danger over dollar signs, and getting your kid out of there!

Something I learned from this is that when someone doesn't give me a straight answer over and over don't just automatically assume they're socially awkward and can't understand the question. Sometimes when things don't add up and when people can't give a straight answer it's for nefarious reasons.

Like a “Don’t look at colleen, Josh did this to me and it’s worse!” He was pissed Josh didn’t take him under his wing and mentor him so from then on out, he had it out for Josh. Adam also said that they had team Josh Stan’s and team Colleen Stan’s and they were always competing! Which is weird for a couple. Colleen tried to ruin Josh’s life too and talked crap about Josh in group chats and was obsessed with putting him down after the divorce.
