Hasan Piker banned from Twitch for calling ICE supporters "rabid ultra-Zionist pigs' : progressivepolitics

I don't like Hasan, but I don't think "rapid ultra-zionist pigs" is particularly insulting. That's some reddit level censorship where anything they want to construe as harassment, is.

Reddit banned me for responding to the bullies and refusing to delete those comments, didn’t know Reddit was so censorial.

Common L Twitch.

Ban was for 7 days, and Hasan appealed it to 3 days after taking a quiz.

In the meantime, he streamed on YouTube for the first time in like 7 years, had 140k viewers at the peak, and made a TON of money from super chats, all while being able to stream his regular news coverage AND attend the ICE Out of LA protest in solidarity.

Israel dick riders really got him good.

The only times Hasan has been banned from Twitch was for insulting racist white people. And they say he's doing hate speech. Pathetic.

We need a leftist alternative to Twitch, and fast. Seriously!

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The fact that its owned by Amazon it should be protested to oblivion.

Wild that they banned him for this, but are fine with him livestreaming animal cruelty.

I still wanna adopt Hasan's doggy Kaya. In fact, is there anyone taking one for the team and offering to adopt Kaya?

EDIT: Oh and this is my 700th comment from DBZer0

Streamers should have an owncast as a back up

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

He streamed last night on YouTube. Supposedly it peaked at 150k viewers.

I personally saw it hit 100k but I dipped in and out.

And when he turned on super chats he probably made a few thousand dollars in the first 3 minutes. I've never seen anything like it.

There is a livestreamfail on reddit that character assassinates this guy, because of israel surely.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The livestream fail Reddit is ran by Dan Saltman, a Zionist who bans all criticism of Israel and only leaves up right wing propaganda.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago

Don't forget Saltman is a pedophile apologist. He's likely a pedophile and rapist himself.

Good, he shouldn't have a platform.

The talks he's been doing pre russias invasion of Ukraine, were echoing russia's propaganda. Everyone oposing him was a "moron". NATO was the perp. His mods were actively perma-banning any pro-NATO sentiment.

He's a neutered tankie.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, he has admitted that he was wrong about that.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, what else could he have done? Ignore it?

He admited it in the most petty way, and only because the fact that russia actually invaded Ukraine was impossible to weasle out of, or paint it in a different light.

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't like the guy because he's a campist, but I don't think he should've been banned for this mild shit

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world -2 points 3 hours ago

I agree.

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca -4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yea people who downvote this comment must not know Hasan. Occasionally like in this case, he does say the right thing. But much more often he does not. His whole shtick is trying to say the right thing that will get him the most attention for any given situation without having any actual moral or ethical consistency. He will say anything if he thinks it will get him a follow..

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world -2 points 1 hour ago

The people who downvote my comment are the same who donate him money, instead of donating it to the people who actually need it.

As he presents himself as "left", there's not many personalities that the left can actually cling to.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 45 points 20 hours ago

Better start looking or setting up new platforms now, they are all going to get censored for the regime. The corpos love Donny too.

[–] kingshrubb@lemmy.ml 30 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (4 children)

He's livestreaming on YouTube at the time of this comment posting. I like it better on YouTube than twitch personally because YouTube Vanced is OP. But the comments aren't working.

Wild/scary how easily people latched on to collar gate. Or just shows how much people are targeting hasan.

Especially considering this ban is as dumb as when they banned him for cracker or the Rick Scott stuff. Silly him should have just been like the other big streamers and only say terrible things about Muslims or immigrants
