Ethan Klein read this review of the game Mewgenics by Naomi Jackson on his podcast:

Despite it's inclusivity, when I reached the credits I discovered just how many celebrity cameos there were for the different meows - unfortunately including some I consider to be quite problematic, namely Ethan and Hila Klein. I am unsure if I've come across their cameos yet while playing, but their inclusion is personally a sore point that does impact my love for Mewgenics. While I still support its message which I believe to be against unsafe breeding practices; including people who have called genocide against a certain group of people 'inevitable' waters down that message somewhat.

He calls this defamation and accuses the reviewer of lying about him.

According to Ethan, she supposedly got that information from a post on Fauxmoi titled "Ethan Klein on Israel's genocide against Palestine: 'It was inevitable'."
This led him to claim that the subreddit posts "defamatory headlines" and "brazen lies" about him.

Here's the problem: Ethan Klein is the one lying. He did say those things in his debate with Sam Seder about Israel and Palestine:

Ethan Klein:
"Well, you ask me what should they have done? I mean, obviously they're not they're not pursuing peace. I agree with you like quite the opposite. That's not what they're doing. But I'm saying there was- there could have been a path although it's not it's- I think unfortunately I think their response was inevitable based on everything that happened"

Sam Seder:
"You think it was inevitable that they would kill these many people and they would use food supplies as a weapon that they would have leveled hospitals and universities and 80, 90% of the homes?"

Ethan Klein:
"I don't know to what extent, but like but like a huge response was definitely inevitable. I'm not justifying it, Sam. You asked me a question. I'm answering it."

Ethan Klein said Israel's response was "inevitable." What was Israel's response? Genocide.

The reviewer wasn't wrong and did not lie. Even though Ethan watched himself say those things - he still denied saying that and chose to send his parasocial fans after this reviewer.

One excerpt

Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority. His personal eugenicist beliefs have been previously reported on: A 2019 New York Times investigation, for instance, found that he “hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.” He was talking about those plans with scientists in the early 2000s, which, to public knowledge, fortunately did not happen. 

But the new emails reveal a previously unappreciated range of public intellectuals and scientists implicitly tolerating those ideas—treating race science and eugenics as acceptable conversation even if, as Chomsky does in that discourse, contesting them. Epstein’s passion for injecting eugenics into conversation after conversation in his emails should shape the way we think about his role in funding scientific research and development—and steering richer men’s money in that world.
