CASTING ASIDE POKI

Pokimane called in impromptu during H3 Show #17, with Ethan bringing up Charlie. We think the overall optics of the situation have been restored.

It's one thing trying to amend things with Charlie/MoistCr1TiKaL, but it's another thing to completely forget about Pokimane when it comes to the beef with Ninja. It seemed like the show was fully casting her aside this episode, even if unintentionally.

When it comes to Charlie, Ethan said the following:

"Also, you weren't wrong about what you said about Poki calling people poor. That, I agree, was out of hand."
H3 Show #15

We do remember Charlie being wrong on several things, like how he said Pokimane was calling her entire audience broke boys and idiots, and that she couldn't possibly have been joking, not even badly, while what she said was clearly delivered as such, with her live chat taking it as a sassy joke too and with her giggling about it.

That doesn't take away from how it still was an optical disaster and that she shouldn't have said it like that, but it doesn't make Charlie right or "not wrong". Otherwise, it means Pokimane was wrong in other ways too and that the valid defense H3 put up for her was as well.

When it comes to Ninja, that bridge was kept burned mostly because he and his "braless wife" threatened to sue Pokimane for leaking messages and exposing the truth about Ninja wanting to help out JiDion who had been banned from Twitch for hate-raiding her stream. Whereas Poki and JiDion amended things, she and Ninja are still on bad terms as far as we know, which caused the podcast to join her side on that previously.

We don't think any of this should stop the show from amending things with people, but at least those things should be acknowledged, especially with the very two cases of bridge-building brought up this time involving a great friend of the show in a major way.
