Hasan more popular then trans gender on fox news

Honestly some of the best allyship to take the brunt of this for trans people.
(Semi /s)
Still no idea who this guy is or why they are so obsessed with him.
he is the guy conservatives online will bring up whenever I try to tell them that tankies are a small minority and that most of the real left is actually just very reasonable democratic socialists
I am not a fan, really, but he does reach demographics that other leftist have trouble reaching, so I guess he belongs in the tent
He’s a hard-left twitch streamer who does reactions on YouTube videos and current events. I find it boring as rain but he’s one of the most popular streamers on twitch.
He’s got a YT channel, maybe check it out & make up your own mind
Reminds me of Obama’s Reverend back in the day. They really went after him.
If the meat pic is taking some heat off the trans peeps, then I suppose the Prada Propagandist is doing some good!
Jesus fucking christ i didn’t think they actually talk about transgender so fucking much. Insane
British media: hold my ale.
When you don’t want your audience to think about any real issues, you pick one or two focus on them so hard that anyone watching that is the single biggest problem in the world ever.
if they didn’t do that, then they might have to actually report some news to fill out their broadcast day.
take note cis ppl this is how you be an ally
Will start sending my nudes to fox journalists, got it
I’ll do my best, but as I don’t have a dog is it acceptable for me to wear the shock collar myself?
If you’re going to continue pushing that false narrative then yes, please wear a shock collar.
So good. This comment alone should be enough to get you five minutes at the Comedy Mothership! You can open for Tony Hinchcliff
These people are like sleeper cells activated by any mention of this guy’s name
No idea who he is before this post, good example of a barbra streisand effect
Fox has talked about Hasan so much that my mom tried to watch some of his videos bc she’s anti-trump so she figured if fox hated him that much maybe she should see what he has to say
She said his content is difficult to watch bc he jumps from topic to topic too quickly but she agreed with some of what he said
You’re totally right about the Streisand effect being in full force here
I am officially out of the loop. I remember his body pic at the CPAC, but what do conservatives have against Hasan Piker?
He’s left wing, outspoken, much better at articulating complex issues than they are, and extremely popular with young people.
Any one of those things are enough for their vilification, but the combo of all of them has them ABSOLUTELY apoplectic 😄
He’s also a first-generation Turkish-American and Muslim by upbringing, which works pretty well with their new fear mongering around the threat of muslims taking over the country
Gotcha. So it’s the old, “But he is not named in the Epstein files” that got to them.
Viking Hippie got you but I wanted to add that Hasan rightly calls out Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
He has a large support base, particularly reaching young men that would likely have otherwise gone down the alt right/redpill pipeline. He also appeals to some of the older republican voters who watch his actual content and not just clips because the majority of the content is responding to arguments on the merit of the argument and evidence, even if his takes are sometimes questionable and there are some outrageous clippable moments. Republicans view this as someone coming in and eating their lunch.
Democrats view it as someone easily achieving the success in converting nonvoters and republicans that they wished to achieve without actually changing their policy and hate him the same, attacking anyone left of them harder than they attack republicans. In doing so they also provide more ammunition to the republicans and republican media to try and paint him negatively, sometimes leaning into outright slander and libel (e.g. purposefully taking a clip of him reading someones comment then arguing against it, but clipping just the reading part to make it seem like he thinks that)
Why were you at the cpac 🤨
I was trying to find a Grindr date, obvi!
First time I hear of this dude. He’s doing the numbers!
