Don’t listen to the lazy slander of Hasan Piker, which is one of two types, either dismissing the incredibly dangerous precedent this sets because they don’t like his politics (which is a massive red flag about that person) or they try to slander him as some crazy radical.
Don’t listen to these people’s words at face value, decide for yourself, if you want to know about what happened listen to Hasan’s side before you jump on the lazy hate train other people are honking the horn for in this thread.

This has been happening for ages now with your average person, and now we’re supposed to care about how this happened to Hasan?
checks notes yup says here under basic human decency that actually we are supposed to care about bad things happening to people even when we believe those bad things have happened in the past to other people, glad we cleared that confusion up :)

Replace Hasan with Alex Jones and tell me you’d give half a shit in comparison to anybody else facing this.
Yes, I would still be disturbed, but more importantly I would focus on raising people’s awareness of the pattern I had previously noted before I believed others had.
Even comparing Hasan to Alex Jones as if they are even remotely equatable is absurd though.

@Sunshine this is nothing new. I was detained at the border and questioned about my political views back during the Obama administration.
That doesn’t make it right.
Pretty sure that’s not what he’s saying, I think what he’s trynna say is the states is a corrupt shithole where freedom of speech hasn’t ever existed.
Ohh, okay. Gotcha.
False alarm, everybody! I have it on good authority from Ji Fu that nothing is getting worse and there’s no cause for concern here. This is just any average Tuesday. Thanks, Ji Fu! Really appreciate you looking out for us.
Hasan piker is a geek and a weirdo but you shouldnt be detained at the u.s border regardless of any opinion you have.
I dunno. I watch Vaush, I watch Hasan. I watch Sam Seder. Please don’t kill me but I watch some of PirateSoftware too (yes I know how much Lemmy hates him).
I’m not gonna defend their views, I can’t/won’t. I generally wanna hear their takes from their perspectives (as flawed as they could be).
I also don’t see that even if I disagree with their views that I’d want to say negative things about them being detained as I don’t think any of them have asked for it? Like, I’d be cheering if Joe Rogan got detained and bullied. The reason being he endorsed this type of stuff so it’s sweet watching someone get a taste of their own medicine.
Piratesoftware is a noun and not a verb?
lol, Twitch dude. Ex-Blizzard, Indie dev, ferret dude. You may know something about him even if you don’t think you do … his dad was the South Park WoW episode antagonist killing all those players. I think his dad was a cinematic dude and they liked him and put him in as that guy.
He’s made statements I’ve definitely disagreed with about preserving games and apparently questionable behaviour with playing WoW. There’s been a lot of controversy where he’s made a reply video with all the drama. I’m not gonna lie, I watched a few points and I didn’t really know or care about a lot of it so stopped a quarter of the way in.
I think anyone that doesn’t like him because of what he’s done is right to do so … I’ll just still catch him every now and again. I mean if I find out he supports genocide or the Trump admin I’ll change my mind.
Thank you for taking the time for a recap. I appreciate it.

“First they came for the rich socialists…”
I’m kind of indifferent to Hasan but law enforcement harassing anyone for their political views is troubling.

Noted. Which of those things is a potential crime he should be detained for?

Ah the left (If you’re even left) is self cannibalizing again I see. Very productive.
If he’s “the left”, I don’t want to be anywhere near it.
He doesn’t care about the people, he just hates the US. Hating US does not make you “Left”.

I’m not even entirely sure why you have a vendetta against hasan, but okay let’s roll with that line of thinking.
Does this also mean that we should cancel Bernie Sanders for having Zionist takes at one point? Even when he has changed his stance and is infinitely better than most around him?
If only the right wingers were this divided, we might stand a chance.

I mean… They are. They just hate <EDIT>what they think <\EDIT> liberals <EDIT> are <\EDIT> more.
This is a aspect inherent to the conservative vs progressive mind set. This is an extreme over simplification, like really extreme and doesn’t really apply to Trump, but here goes:
If your side wants things to stay the same, that’s it. You’re done formulating views.
But, if you want things to change, now you have to answer the question of what needs to change and how.

I try and make clear any significant changes i make to a post.
It’s more important when someone has already replied, but i tend to do it even when no one has in the same way i use my blinkers while driving, even if no one is around.

He produces edited videos via multiple video editors that agree to the work, but he does not pay? (I’m only peripherally aware of the guy)
deleted by creator
This looks like people making assumptions and doing work before an agreement is made.

It’s unique that the edit went up on a channel he controls.
People editing podcasts and streams and building unauthorized/unofficial channels is super common. I can see how that makes this even more murky, in a way where Hasan can be “huh? What? Whatever bro.” About it.
Messy messy quasi-parasocial stuff.

I don’t know him what’s he done
