Hasan won't be getting 70k-200k views on election day streaming on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube
Twitch is his platform, you can't just transfer an entire audience to other platforms overnight, it takes years to build up, having the platform is simply more important than making a well-meaning moral gesture that'll be forgotten in a month
Why exactly is covering electoralism more important than solidarity with pro-Palestinian voices being silenced by Twitch over racist lies?
You're just projecting that these people, who he actually knows and talks to, want him to go offline, and that he's refusing them.
Listen, just say you want your slop. I'm sure they want to be unbanned, too. Should anyone try to do anything about that, or should we just do whatever allows you to tune into Hasan on Twitch still?
I think you're naive if you think Hasan not broadcasting would commute their ban in any way.
Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard?
Because educating and agitproping a shit ton of disillusioned liberals on Palestine who are tuning in for the election is more important than online brownie points
Who is going to educate anyone when everyone pro-Palestinian is banned?
Well Hasan isn't banned, which is WHY he shouldn't ban himself
Once again, why can't you go watch him on YouTube or TikTok? Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard? "I care more about watching my himbo on Twitch than standing up for Pro-Palestinian voices". No wonder BDS doesn't go anywhere in the US. Do you just like Sabra too much?
Once again, he has no political audience on YouTube or TikTok, Hasan is a pipeline, pipelines don't work when they ban themselves for the sake of meaningless gestures that only appeal to guilt ridden liberals
Hasan can stand up for pro-Palestinian voices far better by continuing to do what he's doing, which incidentally is pissing off scum like Ethan and Destiny
What you or I think of the "slop" doesn't matter in the least, all that matters is the millions of disillusioned liberals coming into contact with it and learning a thing or two, that is a far superior expression of solidarity than self-defeating nonsense that surrenders the discourse to the right-wing
A leftist with a major media platform is a precious thing, how on earth you don't recognize that is frankly beyond me
The ADL is targeting Hasan now. He ain't gonna have a platform for long if no one fights back against what's happening right now. "Millions of disillusioned liberal" he fucking streams to less people than a D-list conservative AM talk radio host. Do you know where most of the "disillusioned liberals" first come into contact with Hasan? On TiKTok and YouTube clips, those sites where you claim he has no base.
So Hasan should beat them to it and do their work for them because "everyone banned = solidarity" he's fine where he is and frankly I don't believe any of the banned streamers would be impressed if he sabotaged himself the way you want him to
Frogan is literally a friend of his, if he continues to stream then we can assume she's fine with it, because duh, she's not known for being obsessed with pointless optics
Also Hasan's "base" on TikTok is exclusively generated by thirst trap clips and dog videos while his YouTube videos are literally replayed segments from his Twitch stream
Oh, she's his friend? You mean like his friend QTCinderalla, who Ethan made a video making fun for QT for crying about internet perverts making AI deep fake nudes of her, and Hasan partner with him after that? If Frogan came out and said she would appreciate solidarity from Hasan, you would just chastise her an call her naive, too, because you care more about your slop.
