I think that last sentence should tell you a bit more about h3 than about people critical of h3. The right wing people have not changed. The left wing people have not changed. Ethan changed. He has started to surround himself with people that he once criticized.
For example, if he started dropping the Nword all the time again and suddenly "right wing" people started defending him I think you'd understand what happened. Obviously it's not that extremely obvious but is similar in terms of his right wing shift. Hateful right wingers defending him should be your biggest red flag. They are using him to spread their reactionary ideas.
Ethan's defense of Israel has shifted his politics and his fans further right. I'm sure there are a lot of people not very political that still stick around. But Ethan seems to try to say he's "pro Palestine" while attacking every single person that is in support of Palestinian Liberation in any way. He seems to think his way of "supporting Palestine" while constantly just repeating the talking points of the country perpetrating a genocide and spending the rest of his time insulting and criticizing every single content creator that is critical of Israel in any way.
None of any of this justifies him, his fan, or his critics getting death threats. But my point that "he brought this upon himself" is because I am critical of all of those parties doxing or threatening people. But Ethan is actively doxing and encouraging his fans to take these actions.
But you can judge that for yourself in the videos.
If you're interested in more about what I'm talking about with Ethan and his gatekeeping of "how one can support Palestine" Noah Samsen has a video covering how YouTubers have done this in general which heavily covers Ethan obviously as he is the largest defender of Israel on YouTube.

My interpretation of right wingers defending Ethan on CPS is because even they believe its unhinged to get children involved in the h3-snark war (I dont recall them targeting them through their kids ever) they certainly dont defend him in any other capacity that ive seen.
I'm not sure what reaction ideas you're refering to, could you elaborate please?
Ethan isn't defending the IDF, he's donated to Palestinian relief efforts and is critical of IDF, his view has always been that war effects the innocent and advocating for death for either side will never result in peace.
The criticism of other influencers is because they spread a rhetoric of IDF should all be killed and anyone who was ever part of the IDF are baby killers, add to it people perpetuating narratives of his wife being a baby killer, photoshopping her, playing games about killing IDF while commentating that they are looking for desk clerks (hilas position) to kill. (Edit: blantant antisemitic posts that seem to slip through social media filters, but constantly getting called out for small things some of which he didnt do at all, look at twitch with Hasan content nuke, hasan skates by on a 1 day ban while h3 got a month ban for showing hasan content (which was later reversed after a request for appeal was denied).
I have never seen Ethan use his fans to dox or harass and anytime its joked about he says dont actually do it, its bad etc etc.
On a note: I just watched the link in your other comment about doxing and I disagree its doxing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing I dont think it fits this definition. He looks at this guys public profile and AB said oh this hotdog is outside a museum at someplace (I couldn't properly hear what place) then they discussed if it moves around. I watched about 5 minutes past the timestamp and didnt see anywhere h3 encourages fans to threaten this guy or his family.
An example of ~~actual~~ what id call doxing is what happens in the h3 snark discord where they post h3s studio address, TF business address and private address (while encouraging harassment).
Edit: I have made a few edits to this post to try to clear up some grammar, and reword a few things.
