H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein calls out Leafy over \u201cjokes\u201d about shooting someone YouTube: LeafyIsHere \/ H3H3 ProductionsNow former-YouTuber LeafyIsHere has caused a stir in an interview with KEEMSTAR, where he joked that he took illegally concealed guns to protests, and is just looking for \u201csomeone to give me an excuse to shoot them.\u201d Prior to his account\u2019s termination, Leafy had acquired almost 5 million subscribers, known for his commentary and drama videos. In 2017 he disappeared off the platform, returning in 2020 to make videos about H3H3, KEEMSTAR, and other large creators. He eventually moved onto creating content about creators on other platforms, including the hugely popular Twitch streamer Pokimane, videos in which he mocked her appearance and claimed she had a secret relationship. This led to YouTube permanently banning him from the site, saying that his repeated violation of strict policies that prohibit harassment led to the termination. But this hasn\u2019t stopped Leafy from causing uproar elsewhere. Leafy discusses the protests In a video uploaded to content creation platform StoryFire on August 25, KEEMSTAR called Leafy and asked him \u201chow did you get enough balls to go to the protest?\u201d referring to unspecified protests Leafy\u2019s area recently. \u201cI\u2019m not that frail. And on top of that, dude, I f**king own guns and sh*t,\u201d he answered. \u201cI literally went there with a f**king gun in a holster. I don\u2019t know if I can say this out loud, but I don\u2019t have a concealed weapons permit. But I don\u2019t really give a sh*t.\u201d A clip from the video was shared by H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein on Twitter, where it quickly went viral. https:\/\/twitter.com\/h3h3productions\/status\/1298816352782704640 KEEMSTAR was wide-eyed as Leafy continued. \u201cI have a gun, I have a holster, I\u2019m from f**king Utah, my family has guns, right.\u201d \u201cThat was crazy, that night, I really thought something bad was gonna happen to you,\u201d KEEMSTAR responded, talking about the videos of \u201chelicopters\u201d Leafy had apparently uploaded the night of the protest. Leafy said in return,\u201cI mean, in truth\u2026 I don\u2019t know if this can even go on StoryFire but, I just want one day in my life for someone to give me an excuse to shoot them. Is that an extreme opinion?\u201d As KEEMSTAR laughs in disbelief, Leafy says \u201cthat was a joke bro, kind of.\u201d Leafy has since been called out on Twitter by Ethan Klein of H3H3 productions, who brought the video to public attention and called the comments \u201ctruly disturbing,\u201d adding critique of KEEMSTAR for \u201ccasually eating wings and laughing along.\u201d The craziest part is that keemstar manually uploaded this to his storyfire channel \u2014 Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) August 27, 2020 While the extent of the truth is unverifiable, Leafy may end up in hot water with authorities after suggesting that he had broken the law, and may even find himself struggling to remain on a new platform in the wake of YouTube\u2019s ban on him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
