I remember back in 2020/2021 when the DreamSMP was really popular (when the worst allegations against Dream were that he cheated and was cringe), Nick made a video making fun of DreamSMP fans on tiktoks. It resulted in him showing a bunch of tiktok videos of minors (like 12-16 year olds) who were cosplaying or talking about the DSMP and left their names included so all those kids got a ton of hate. I remember seeing a video from one of the kids after that was just this 14 year old sobbing begging to know what they did wrong and why people were telling them to kys. When ppl commented on Nicks video saying that leaving the names up was wrong of him he basically called everyone Dream Stans and brushed them off. That was the first time he kinda rubbed me the wrong way, very sad he's still doing this type of brushing off criticism

She made a big deal about being left-leaning and progressive, and was horrifically cruel to everyone who slighted her, whether or not they were her so-called friends.

Omg you're so right 💀

[@knittingnudibranch]

Absolutely. Something I find so infuriating about leftist content creators (not exclusive to Nick by any means) is the blatant hypocrisy about "bad comedy." They condemn making fun of things like appearances when it suits their narrative, but the second that someone does something wrong, it is suddenly open season to say some of the meanest things you've ever heard about that person's appearance. And while I don't think I've seen Nick do it, I've seen supposed leftists misgender transphobes in an attempt to "own them", as though that doesn't just reinforce the idea that having one's gender respected is something to be earned, and not just basic human decency. And that doesn't even touch on how lazy it is. Rather than putting in even the slightest effort to dig into that person's behaviour and beliefs, they can just rely on their audience to recognize that the person has done something bad and make personal insults instead.

It didn’t get bad until Matt or Ryan went into DD’s stream and gifted subs claiming they were cool and okay after the controversy, when they were in fact not. Commentary channels hopped onto the train to make a video about the controversy from past and brought things back up that didn’t need to be nor should have been ever. It caused DD and Julian to go silent and DD privated his accounts/erased his tweets. It was so sad to see and seeing Matt/Ryan try to play the card of “we are good here!

These are delicate topics, and I think part of the reason things like this don't get called out enough is because so many people use criticism to justify harassment, sexism, etc. In your video, though, you retain nuance, respecting Lex as a victim while also saying she has gone about this wrong. Nick has always rubbed me the wrong way for the clear joy he gets out of being able to call people freaks, losers, etc, and he's not the only guy on the platform to act like that.

Great job Jimmy in your (as far as I can tell) very level and neutral reporting.

I think they think because they've given themselves the label of left wing that they can say whatever the hell they want without backlash

[@RedPandaSquadron]

@@jessica5470 yeah, it's a pretty common problem of new leftists. Since many white leftists get to this point because they were adjacent to the right wing they have a hard time separating their own toxic behaviour with the "I'm one of the good ones!" It sucks, but many people really need to confront their behaviour, it's a life long task, but it's important and I don't think either Nick or Ethan are putting in effort to self reflect.

I’m actually in the same boat. I’m in my thirties and found them both in 2020. Nick quickly rubbed me the wrong way after his rapid surge in popularity that led to a huge ego. But I liked Ethan’s more leftist political takes. He can be a little mean hearted and egotistical in the same vein that nick is, but nick is something else. Either way, we’re all human disappointments. Whatever. I won’t sub to them, but I’m sure they’re ultimately redeemable lol.

I ended up in the hospital for weeks right after Nicks original callout video and boy was I in for a mess of a situation. Keep it up 👍

it is also so strange how quick lex and especially ethan were so quick to change their minds about nick. I think nick is literally the only reason ethan has a career.

[@User-yu8er]

If we're assuming the best about Nick, the reason he still can't help but makes those appearance-based jokes is because he himself is insecure in his looks so it's a form of projection. If we're assuming the worst about Nick, he's just a mean-spirited person and his behavior of punching down and throwing out low-blows won't just go away without him putting in actual effort into making changes.

[@louguine]

all these people are wrong. nick is wrong for making the videos, ethan and lex are wrong for asking nick to make the video only to say they were bad videos shortly after praising them all because nick got put underfire. i feel like nick is getting all the hate and ethan and lex are just adding to it bc they look better not agreeing with nick, even if they initially did. nick threw them under the bus, but they asked him anyways and he was trying to do damage control albeit horribly. they're all shitty in this situation and it's just turned into them all being petty towards each other bc they all wronged each other

Honestly after seeing him do all this and more in the past.

And boys this is only ONE THING THAT I HATE HIM FOR. At least daft and sniper wolf had multiple things to hate them on that snowballed

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

Not sure why you feel bad for him tbh, it's a mess of his own making. He also clearly isn't truly sorry since he only apologised after it became obvious he couldn't sweep it under the rug or spin the story any more

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I can understand why you might feel bad for Nick. He let clout get the best of him when he should've stayed in his lane. Personally I can never forgive someone who makes a mockery of SA, and I could never feel sympathy for entitled men. However, from the perspective of a fan, I totally get it, and I'm sorry you have to see Nick go downhill like this. Hopefully he can get his act together and learn to be quiet.

Ironically while Nick has responsibility as a bigger creator, he is actually less guilty in my mind because he was blindly believing someone and not making false accusations to advertise a lego podcast. Id have been happy if he said at the start "Lex is accusing Supermega of some horrible stuff and because Lex is my friend I am going to just believe all of it outright"

I remember unfollowing Nick when I realized how much he was punching down to a beginner American trio of (I believe it was J-Pop?) idol stars. Like, their worst crime other than a couple of clunky comments was being ‘cringe’, but they weren’t hurting anyone, they’d clearly put in a ton of time, research and passion into their performances, and they were having fun as well as being respectful of the culture. I realized how much of a bully he was then, so while your first video surprised me in some ways, it also really didn’t in others. I really appreciate that his bad behavior is being discussed and criticized now- you sum it up best, he punches down, and he has a massive ego that reminds me of any bully’s (which is the only genuinely cringe thing to have.)

[@qianabanana28]

He also shames religion and especially Christianity and always used the excuse that he was ex-Christian to justify what he would say which made me unsubscribe from him.

Thank you for actually giving me the information without calling Lex a liar

[@Ginyu95]

If anybody wants another example of Nick's poor reporting destroying people's careers/mental health, check out Ashley Gavin talking about her situation. She doesnt address Nick but his videos on her had a massive reach and nobody would care otherwise. She was doxxed, her loved ones were threatened and even had metal detectors at her shows. She js only just now talking about how damaging it was. The videos only cover limited information with skewed context. It was, at the most, an unfortunate miscommunication between her and an audience member that Ashley tried to rectify immediately and multiple times. But Nick's viewers have no way of knowing that based on his lazy reporting. She goes into detail in her chosen family podcast. If Nick was truly interested in being a good reporter, he would have carried on making videos on the situation as it became clearer that the accusations were wrong. But he didn't because it's more important to get clicks and create a villain. It will always be about riling up negativity for him. Its so messed up and it breeds black and white thinking. I used to enjoy his stuff but its just bums me out now.

[@kdog8658]

I remember watching that and thinking, this person is either belligerently acting out of emotion and needs some amount of grace in order to, you know, get better, or that we just did not have enough context. I was glad to see her still making content and doing shows.

[@vikkipink1288]

I knew I couldn’t watch Nick anymore when I saw how insanely giddy he was at the Colleen apology video. I know a lot of people laughed at it but it was continuously saying what amazing content this is going to be that just grossed me out. You could just see the dollar signs in his eyes. To act that way as someone who has pretended to be this super moral, upstanding progressive person it felt so gross. Not to mention the way he seemed to think by adding a hundred qualifiers before every statement it would somehow make it ok for him to do and say whatever. It’s fine to make sure that know you aren’t trying to be deliberately offensive but what he was doing just felt extremely performative. And then the way people like him and especially Ethan talk about people who done something wrong in their minds then all rules are able to be thrown out the window and they bully them as much as they want. That is just using these issues as an excuse to bully people. I stopped watching Ethan after his review of Shane Dawson’s podcast. It’s fine not to like Shane for his past but that doesn’t give you the right to relentlessly bully him and his friends for every little thing they do or say especially when it’s so unrelated to what he was even cancelled for. The mean spirited of those two had been bothering me for a while and the super mega stuff and your last video explained everything that I had been feeling. I didn’t realize I hadn’t actually unsubbed to those two yet but I made sure I did after watching your video so yeah I would say it probably is what did it. You helped prove this wasn’t a one time mistake with aftermath that was handled poorly but also part of a bigger issue of these people just being like the mean girls or plastics of KZbin

[@LillianaLobster]

i watched that video and was a bit alarmed at how excited he was. and not only that but instead if doing everything in an organized manner, to me it seemed to be that he'd pick a topic around the video to talk about, and then jump to something else, then jump back to the big topic, and it was all over the place for me, i couldnt keep up

[@frostykzink]

My read on this is that both Nick and Ethan have a very similar type of toxic mindset and in retrospect it was a matter of time before they turned on each other. They both think they're amazing people doing such great liberal or progressive work and it leads them to be bullies who will dish it out but cannot take it. Their "commentary" always sounds similar and they both always make mean comments but it's okay because they're dunking on bad people and whatever whatever. People like that who are always looking for a way to put others down don't stick together for long. They can't. Nick throwing Ethan and Lex under the bus is a clear example of this, and Ethan's whole tantrum last week is another example, especially with him blindly and blatantly ignoring all the inconsistencies in his own comments. They can't admit they did anything wrong because they're bullies that can't let someone else "win."

I used to like Nick’s content as background noise, but I started to lose interest after the Gus Johnson situation but looking into it now, his virtue signal/bullying behaviour started long before all of this.

As a long-time fan of SuperMegas and former watcher of Nicks content I just really want to thank you for keeping Nick accountable during this dumpsterfire. When Matt and Ryan dropped their response video there was an eerie quiet and kind of a collective acceptance that they tried to handle Lex's situation with respect but didn't really know how to, so everybody calmed down but nobody really held Nick, Leighton and Ethan accountable for causing Matt and Ryan so much hurt for bringing Daniel into this. When I watched Nicks first video I thought it was so strange for him to bring this up (even if Lex had mentioned it) considering he knows absolutely nothing about Matt, Ryans and Daniels relationship. I think if Lex, Nick etc. were around like I was when they delivered the tragic news about Daniel, they would've never even dared to bring this up because of how heart wrenching his death was. I feel horrible for Matt and especially Ryan that had to once again bring up such a horrible event. So truly, thank you for doing the work you do and keeping up with this situation that most channels don't even care about anymore because the "drama" has seemingly settled with SuperMegas indefinite hiatus.

I totally get Lex changing her opinion on the situation and her current attempts the clear things up, though that will likely come later. When you're in such a vulnerable state and someone with a large platform starts defending you and calling out what you at the time percieve as a cover up of your assult, you'll probably initially be thankful. But as time passes, the ways in which we view supposed acts of kindness change. Lex's initial lambastment of SuperMega could have something to do with the general paranoia many SA victims experience. It was wrong what she said and did but considering her situation it's understandable and I don't believe she did it out of revenge or money but liely her genuine feelings at the time. I've been there with my own trauma and know how it feels. I have no idea what the fuck is going on with Ethan though. He's usually high on streams so take most things he says with a grain of salt.

[@davidoneill7554]

15:22 “Like I honestly just feel bad for these people” I don’t. I feel bad for Lex. Even that’s a stretch. She spent 70-80% of her original video talking about how shitty SuperMega was (I.e: things that had nothing to do with her SA) and then the other 20-30% talking about what allegedly happened to her. Everyone else (Nick and Ethan, and Nick’s gf) are terrible people.

[@ojaimark]

This whole situation boils down to inevitable crumbling of platforms built on virtue signaling. At the end of the day Nick's progressivism and moral positioning was never actually authentic and he never really believed the things he was saying. He just knew they were the right things to say. It's great to superficially pretend to be an ally to some kind of cause/movement because it can be an easy way to gain clout. The problem is that doing so is going out on a limb with no genuine foundation to support you. When things are calm and there's no controversy, it's all good. But once some shit starts hitting the fan you don't have any authentic morals and principles to stand on anymore and you're gonna fall. It's gonna be damn near impossible to respond in a way that doesn't immediately expose the true you and come across as pure damage control.

[@sarah_sophie]

This is definitely like… a very minor criticism compared to everything that’s going on, but I watched Nick a little bit around when his channel was getting larger (KZbin kept putting him in my recommended feed and I had nothing else to watch), and I recall him saying a lot of stuff about how thrilled he was that the channel was taking off, and how happy he was to make videos every day, and all of that. It makes it feel a bit weird that he’s acting like the entire year was TERRIBLE for him and he HATED it, in my opinion…?

this is a good follow up! idk if you’ll even see this but I am the mod from the sub, you got one thing wrong which is nick did delete his original reddit account, on my end it said user deleted the only person that was there was nicks brother austin n he didn’t use his account. I locked the sub bc it was being spammed and posts being reported daily n it got frustrating being the only mod, all i saw for the most part was posts that didn’t add anything to the situation. But i didn’t really think about people using the sub for video evidence stuff. but i’m currently trying to fix things.

I have just watched this video and, i dont watch nick nor super mega, but nick using Daniel's situation was f-ed up. I remembered when that happened when matt and ryan were running the channel cyndago, not super mega, and when they were working with markiplier. Disgusting behavior from nick
