amazingly L takes in the comments so far

anyways for context for those not terminally online, Hasan is a leftist twitch streamer (who supports Ukraine*), he made a tweet advertising ac shadows.

some far right elon fan made a brain dead comment about it and elon took the opportunity to also dunk on hasan (because surely he has nothing else to do right?) calling him a "a sellout", to which hasan replied:

this bitch literally paid someone to powerlevel his character in poe2 lmao. wym i’m a fraud? elon i challenge you to a duel in elden ring. i will cook your fat rolling ass.

which got some 30k likes.

now hasan reply was already a ratio enough but then assassin's creeds official acc decided to completely destroy elon:

Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?

its so bad that even asmongold isnt taking elons side on this one

elons isnt taking this well understandably. getting burned on a platform that he brought for 44b that gotta hurt lmao. like literally no one in the streamers/gaming space is taking his side. anyone that does immediately gets ratioed in the replies.

We should probably be thankful that that narcissistic manchild is so addicted to his social media. Imagine how much more destructive shit he could have accomplished if he actually put his mind to it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

This is... None of this is important.

Bloody hell, people in the comments getting worked over a social media altercation... On Twatter of all places...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hasan, Elon and Ubisoft... what is this, a shit triangle?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

someone who supports trans rights, ukraine, is actually decent human being is not like the other but sure go on

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

wouldnt go as far as saying that hasan is a decent human being. no doubt, i rank im way higher than elmo. but that guy is still problematic on so many levels even if his believes align here there with my own. but to apply even more nuance to my shitpost: the most unfair part of my post was to generelise an individual single dev beeing the entirety of the soulless corporation of ubisoft.

/hmm, lots of fans around here. idk how one can fall for this disingenuous fuckface. but you do you.

you know who was disingenuous a moment ago? you.

Why? just to be clear decent doesnt mean you have to like him, it doesnt mean he is perfect. it just means he generally stands for whats good. he is a good person. its not really a high bar to clear.

decent, adjective

1.
conforming with generally accepted standards of respectable or moral behaviour.
"a decent clean-living individual"

i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you. if you really care, you should watch hasan's interview with novara media.

And if you think he doesnt do enough, well he recently went to a bernie/aoc rally and streamed the entire rally to 50k+ viewers. he has done fund raisers for good causes. he went to union protests to raise awareness. many other things that i dont remember right now. thats on top of the positive political commentary he does, in a space that is almost completely dominated by right wingers. you dont have to completely agree with him to realize he is a genuine force for good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

tbh not in the mood to argue with you about it. if your a hasan fan. fair enough. i'm not. as i said i dont consider him as bad as elon, not even in the same ball park. but i still consider him shit. i was even subscribed to him a few years ago. i've seen enough first hand. my views on him arent filtered through takes of others.

so i was about to give you the win by going silent and just leave it be.

but:

i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you.

fuck off. get bent. posted as a leftist.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not who you responded to, but can you share why you don’t like Hasan? I’ve mostly just seen clips of him talking with AOC and Bernie and when he covered the writer’s strike. I don’t know much about him and his content otherwise so I’m wondering if there’s more I should know?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not the guy. I've watched a decent bit of Hasan and if you only listen to what he says, not examine what he does or who he does it for, then he probably seems like a champion for leftist causes.

That being said, he works for Night Media and definitely does not put his money where his mouth is. I personally dislike the hypocrisy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What’s night media? Also what do you mean he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is? Does he donate to Trump or something?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Night media is a talent agency that was associated with Mr. Beast (you know, during his most popular years) and is still associated with Asmongold (you know, propaganda pointed at young men).

Hasan Piker is the son of a billionaire from Turkey. While I don't know the specifics of how much money he's received from him, if any, that doesn't really matter. The man is a multi millionaire who has made his money on a platform that is absolutely riddled with propaganda mouthpieces. Many people do not see an issue with this, I do.

He also really loves to claim he's a socialist, yet is a multi millionaire (after buying him and his family a 2.7 million dollar home in L.A.). Too many things don't add up for me, so I stopped watching him.

All that being said, idk what's in his heart of hearts. He might not be a bad guy, I might be assuming the worst. Make of it what you will.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Ah, the champagne socialist. Socialism for fashion. They're always problematic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Champagne socialist, supports piracy on innocent people, tankie - criticizes Christianity and American imperialism but supports Islam and China's imperialism.

All sorts of problematic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Wait, did you seriously create an account just to fanboy for Hasan - the champagne socialist, literal piracy supporter, and tankie? Wow, this is really sad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

He also supports pirates lol did you forget that?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

the king is completely naked and we can all watch it from the comfort of our homes.

what a time to be alive.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Remember when official accounts only post links where to buy their game(s). I miss those days.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

remember when social media CEOs weren’t like… this? i miss those days much more than some official game account taking a potshot back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

remember when social media CEOs weren’t like… this?

I think that that's just Elon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

kinda, but zuck also went off the deep end

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Zuck has never been a good person or treated his users with respect.

Tom from Myspace may have been the only stable one.

Musk, an avid gamer himself, claimed

Hey, glad to know this source has no credibility.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This article/situation reeks of the damp, hot, pungent smell of degeneracy.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah that’s the parts where they mentioned Elon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This applies to the two streamers mentioned as well.

They are both grifters and scoundrels. Elmo is much worse of course, but it's not exactly much of an achievement if one is better than the most corrupt and degenerate American oligarch.
