~*~ as a disabled woman~*~ I actually found Ethan's dogged pursuit of the truth with regards to his symptoms very important for the audience. No, he didn't end up having lupus, but he listened to his body, reached out, got help, and tried to figure out what was wrong with him. We should all of the mindset that going to the doctor is not a bad thing, and it's always better to listen to your body and try to understand it then just being miserable and getting sicker. An important lesson that was lost in the shuffle a bit! Edited to add: It is much better to be cautious, go to the doctor, and find out that nothing is wrong with you than to not go to the doctor and realize later down the line that something was wrong with you and you missed your window or best chance to treat it.

It took my mom over 16 doctors appointments, doing her own research, and demanding they test her for lupus to finally get diagnosed with lupus. It took years. Ethan doing his own research and experiencing medical anxiety is all so valid.

[@wellhello1603]

Exactly! This happened to me with multiple diagnosis and multiple doctors asked me if I feel like being a bit of a hypochondriac. All that only to find out I have a heart condition, tumors in my chest, sleep apnea and adhd. If I didn’t do my own research, listening to my body and trying to understand what is wrong so I can explain to health providers better - I would not have any clarity about my health and wouldn’t be able to solve the issues. It’s so sick that people try to clown on those trying to find medical clarification and trying to educate themselves

[@theclawlives]

That's what I kept thinking about during Dr Doolittle's video. Every person I know with an auto immune disorder had several doctors misdiagnose then for years before they came to something that made sense. He even admits that's often how it works but somehow Ethan looking things up is bad?

I thought that was something you do because you care about people and not wield it as some sort of credential? It's giving white knight.

[@hydrogen3266]

And it’s relatable. Having to go through all these referrals and specialists, and waiting for appointment openings and labs while you know something is wrong is so frustrating and anxiety inducing, so hearing a person with a big platform not only talk about it, but also joke about it is fun bc it’s relatable and helps us not take it all so seriously. And it’s validating to see another person go through it and making light of it.

[@beefcube2414]

You're 100% on point, and tbh I think that if he actually cared about this topic he wouldn't be so ready to throw around his "connections", his charity that he's been alleged to be scalping money from, or his own autoimmune disease. This whole video felt like a temper tantrum because the crew and, by extension Ethan, didn't notice him and make him the main character in all of their lives. It was petty, mean spirited, bad faith, and at times absolutely idiotic. All the hallmarks of a spiteful and hateful attack out of some twisted idea of revenge.

[@atomickilljoy66]

Ethan, I spent 16 years waiting for an accurate diagnosis. Those few months of your raw reaction to lab results and the insight look into what it’s like to WAIT, feel so confused and unsure, having doctors throw you around with no real answers- SO REAL. I had a million “normal” or “on the cusp” lab results before my condition was finally uncovered and diagnosed by a world renowned rheumatologist. There’s a reason why chronic illness often goes undiagnosed for YEARS. And to see a comedian process that experience of uncertainty and be able to add funny commentary, felt so healing and relatable. As someone with chronic illness and autoimmune issues, I literally could not finish the segment because of how angry Dr Dolittle made me. Honestly it just triggered me how he managed to so severely stigmatize chronic illness further under the false pretense that he is an advocate for chronic health. He clearly isn’t.

My best friend also has chronic illness and we cope by joking about it all the time. Sometimes its all you can do to stop going insane.

Yeah, Jake has been slipping from ironically mean and hateful to actually just mean and hateful. I used to watch most of his videos, but lately I find myself not liking how mean he is to people who don't deserve it, or even mean to people who do deserve it, but in a way that causes innocent people to catch strays. Like he'll diss someone's appearance repeatedly in a way that shames anyone who looks similar, without ever qualifying it like Ethan always does when he says things like "we love our short kings". No love from Jake these days. Basically, Jake went from sweet and fun to hateful over the course of his main channel's popularity, and it sucks. I hope if by some weird chance Jake reads this, he takes it as constructive. He is creative enough to make good content, and caring enough to be more compassionate with his language and criticism. I'd love to see him make a turn around back to being driven by a good cause and fun, creative content.

And to finish, a lot of people calm their anxiety by comedic relief, myself included. It’s not that deep. Not deep enough to start drama at least

[@meowJACK]

Exactly. And it's not even like Ethan had an overly crazy amount of anxiety either! He was having actual symptoms, and actual test results that could potentially be indicative of something serious. Getting those kinds of things diagnosed (or being able to conclusively determine that there ISNT any sort of serious diagnosis) takes time. It's normal to feel concerned about that, and to worry about what it could be. I really think he had a pretty healthy/normal amount of anxiety given the circumstances. It's not like he was freaking out and terrified... The whole lupus thing was literally just "it COULD possibly be that, I had a test result that indicated it could be possible, and I do have similar symptoms". And then it became a huge joke/meme. It was never this actual huge serious emotional "OMFG GUYS I THINK I HAVE LUPUS 😭😭 IM SO SCARED!!!!!" it was just fkn "it could MAYBE be that but I don't know" and not even being emotional at the possibility..... And then playing along with the jokes when people started making them.

I have some significant medical issues (PCOS, Endometriosis, Hidradenitis Supperativa, and kidney stones) and my medical anxiety from the trauma of trying to receive help for those issues affects me deeply. Ethan advocating for his own health with a sense of humor has always been inspiring and empowering to me. I have been told that I cannot feel pain on my ovaries, since they don’t have any nerve endings while I had a ruptured cyst bleeding into my abdominal cavity (which hurt like hell). I’ve been told that if I had a kidney stone I wouldn’t be able to sit across from the doctor and tell him about it (I fucking did and ended up having to deliver my oldest child early because of it). I’ve been told excessive pain and bleeding after my C-section was totally normal and then needed multiple surgeries to remove scar tissue from endo later that week or I would have bled to death. I’ve been blamed for not appearing to be in enough pain so that the doctors could accurately diagnose me when I described WITH MY WORDS exactly how much pain I’m in, and I’ve been told that I was being hysterical when I screamed and cried in pain because I had lost all hope. There are so many stories like mine in these comments and so many of us have found some solace in Ethan’s medical journey. I hope he never stops advocating for himself and gets all of the answers he needs to achieve his best quality of life, something that is extremely difficult to do with the state of our medical industrial complex. I am currently 7 months pregnant with my second baby and every day I practice in front of a mirror, “I would like to request a different nurse/doctor,” and “I would like to speak to a patient advocate right now.”

Really infuriating how he claims to have some sort of chronic illness himself, yet is so quick to be so dismissive of someone else who is struggling with unknown health issues. He's saying the exact type of shit that people with chronic illnesses often hear. "Oh you're just being a hypochondriac, it's nothing, it's probably just this really stupidly obvious common thing that doesn't actually explain your symptoms, calm down and shut up, you're being dramatic"

When Ethan said something along the lines of, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but it just can’t be normal to feel like this every day,” my heart broke because I have been there so often! Hearing that nothing is wrong with me and wondering if this is just what normal life feels like is enough to cause anyone to feel hopeless and alone, which is why this stuff needs to be talked about and taken seriously.

[@sambeawesome]

Honestly the 'Lupus arc' has been one of my favorites. It was actually really calming and relatable. It can be super scary to have a problem and not know what it is, and spiral from it. Seeing Ethan add humor to it made it such a gem. I can't believe that guy spent countless hours writing, filming, and editing this video. He could've done this video ironically, and it could've been amazing. But seriously attacking you for freaking out over your health IS insane.

I have a couple of points: Jacob knows what a joke is; he's being deliberately obtuse so that he can make Ethan look bad. It's like someone joking about running over their own grandmother for a Klondike Bar and being like "Oh really? You'd kill your own loved ones for a a trivial treat?!" Same goes for taking health-related Superchats and claiming that people are donating out of sympathy. You donate to get your superchat read by the streamer, which he knows as someone who livestreams on KZbin fairly often. It's clear to me that these people wanted to be a part of the conversation and offer their own knowledge and experiences. Finally, this came out in December, and he teased it beforehand as this major expose. What other devastating expose came out last month? Hbomberguy's video about plagiarism. He saw the success of that and tried to replicate it in some way. Allegedly-for-entertainment-purposes-only-in-Minecraft.

As someone with chronic illnesses, one of the universal experiences is spending months or years trying to figure out what is going on with yourself. I actually found a strange comfort in watching Ethan go through a similar thing even though he has far more resources and great medical care. The truth is that human bodies are weird and confusing and a lot of things are hard to diagnose, during that process you simply have to talk it out or it will eat you alive. Not knowing is so much scarier than figuring out possibilities and realizing you can learn to live with or treat them all; that's all i saw with Ethan's lupus saga, trying to find answers and find peace with potentials All this being said, i really do hope Ethan figures out what is causing these issues, nobody deserves to be dismissed even if their symptoms seem to be insignificant to an outside observer

[@annawallace3383]

My mom got diagnosed with Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disorder. I watched her fight and claw and question doctors for YEARS before she finally got a diagnosis. She was so scared and frustrated that she did a lot of research on her own. I think it gave her some power back and also helped her advocate for herself. Ethan - you were doing what normal people do. Questioning symptoms. Doing your own research. And above all else, sharing your journey with others. Obviously no one who has followed your journey thinks anything of all of this. I actually started watching Jake in 2023 because the algorithm was pushing him so hard (I follow Drew Gooden, Kurtis, Danny, Jarvis and the like, so I'm sure that's why). But a lot of times I felt like his arguments werent funny, original, or creative. That was when he was critiquing genuine idiots I didn't know. You have every right to feel hurt and defend yourself.

Id never taken them in my life! When I said I wasn't on drugs he rolled his eyes! I had to hound them over and over again for them to do the correct tests on me.. finally got diagnosed.

I went to the doctor and told her about all of that and she said, "you're probably fine but we can get some scans to be safe". Two months later I was getting surgery at Johns Hopkins.

Imagine if you were concerned about something with your health, so you went and got tested, and then when the results came back as non life-threatening, your doctor just clowned on you for 45mins straight… that’s the Jake Dolittle video in a nutshell! I watched a few Jake videos probably over a year ago now, about Trisha and Shane Dawson and initially I found him funny. But in subsequent videos, I noticed that every 30mins or so he would mention about needing to pay his rent, and give reasons as to why he and his girlfriend were struggling financially. He seemed to be very angry and bitter towards more successful creators, especially regarding their wealth. He’d become really angry and rant pretty extensively about their houses or whatever. Even though he was talking about people like Shane Dawson and James Charles, I couldn’t get onboard. He seemed so money hungry that I had my doubts about his charity, but never bothered to look into it. Just stopped watching instead.

[@mekaylarobles]

Exactly!! He has been getting more and more bitter and this video, to me, is a clear reach for views and money. He had hoped this would go viral. Thats why he kept it up for so long. He needs every view he can get. I mean he rarely hits 100k views. Literally only hits that when he talks about Shane Dawson. I also think the only reason he removed the video *during* the livestream is because he had hoped ethan was watching it on his channel, and would be stopped from this deep dive if he privated it. Unbelievable for him to scream and cry about ethan self diagnosing, and then literally diagnose ethan… as if he’s at all qualified. He had a chronic illness, therefore he’s an expert on chronic illnesses. Truly astonishing behavior.

[@Emma-bo3pm]

At the beginning of Ethan's Lupus saga, I started to get similar inflammatory and symptoms with really high blood values for inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR). Its weird because we got the same tests around the same time, and honestly watching Ethan joke about it gave me so much relief. Throughout this process, about everyone in my life told me not to worry about it and started throwing out diagnoses like strained muscles, gluten intolerance, or gastrointestinal inflammation caused by poor diet. For context, I am also studying medicine so this is particularly irritating to me. People like Dr. Doolittle mad me think I was crazy for being worried, which is so destructive and self-absorbed-- something they teach us not to do to patients. Without a single risk factor, I was eventually diagnosed with a golf ball-sized blood clot in my femoral vein, also referred to as DVT (and later post-thrombotic syndrome which is chronic). This is extremely rare, (24 y/o F) so much so that my doctors had no studies to reference to treat women in my age group and relied on treatment recommendations for older or elderly populations. Nothing about Ethan's journey is offensive, if anything I find his transparency refreshing because it is normal to worry and try to find an explaination (its human nature!). He understands he is not a doctor, FFS he did a Lupus poll! Don't gatekeep chronic illness, its harmful and really stupid, with P+L :)

I mean thousands of people were trying to warn him and everything that's being shown on the h3 podcast right now did not know about any of this shit that Jake did. Jake wouldn't talk about it at all and when I saw a tiny bit of Jake's live stream talking about a creator that everyone knew and what horrible thing they are doing was the only thing he said so I'm thinking this is going to be something super serious and boom ethans face pops up on his Instagram at one point and I'm like huh what's going on don't know what he did and he only took a snippet of what ethan said and made it seem like this man was scamming people and lying about medical stuff and I don't know much about ethan , never watched much of his stuff until 2023 since following Adam mcynter (sorry if I spelled the last name wrong for Adam) was a fan of Jake in 2023 and agreed with some things and other things were like ouch that was rough the more and more he put content out it seemed like he was becoming more angry , like you are mad at the content but you don't have to watch stuff and talk about stuff that will legitimately make you that mad . The more I hear about everything I'm just like yep this is not going well at all , I was expecting maybe a tiny bit of hate like he normally gets in some videos but everyone was trying to warn Jake to not do this like alot were being nice and just trying to help him out . I really didn't know alot of this that Jake did so I'm just left shocked about all of this. The amount of times I paused Jake's video and was like does this really seem like a good idea ? Is this going to be good ? Like I saw the entire thing and by the end of it I was like ooofff I don't know how to feel about this.

It's unfortunate to see a creator be so taken by anger that they refuse to reconsider uploading a video that so many people are telling you is harmful. He not only hurt Ethan, but he hurt other ppl who are going through a similar situation to Ethan. Jake clearly is very emotional about the topic, so I can see why he took everything so seriously, but he blew things out of proportion, took things out of context, and just repeatedly insulted and insinuated false things. It sucks to see cause I liked Jake's previous content. But right now I feel he has a victim complex, so I don't see him coming out with an apology anytime soon. If he does respond, I have a fear it will be rather deflective and/or passive aggressive.
