AFAIK he hasn't done anything egregious. Some definitely don't like him for political reasons, but I think the thinking here is to avoid focusing so much on individuals or celebrities, and Hasan is just the most visible leftist personality among gen Z and millennials. But we should talk about him from time to time, he is very influential and IMO has fantastic politics compared to other political commentators with an audience his size

he's not radical enough for some of us. i think it's probably not possible for someone in his position to be as radical as we'd want because someone outwardly that radical wouldn't ever get to that position, so i don't get being mad about it either.

Every time I see a title like this take for granted that I know who this is, instead of being like "Hasan Piker (3M follower twitch news streamer)", the way you would for like, the chief editor of a major newspaper, or the mayor of a third rate city, I think everyone on this site needs to touch grass.

i think a portion of it is people who have a weird parasocial relationship with him who get weirdly confrontational and combative if they perceive someone disparaging him even slightly. i also feel like these same people probably emphasize and get invested in the streamer/twitch drama aspect of what he does that i think generally is off putting to probably most people.

i know in the past he has directly commented on stream about these people and i for some reason have a memory of him calling them "little gremlins."

Speaking personally, I generally like him, but again, hold a lot of suspicion toward public personalities. I find his success suspicious, but recognize that until further notice, the suspicion is only founded in vibes. Other than that, he has a pretty clean track record. The most egregious thing he's done in my eyes is glaze Bernie Sanders and AOC, and offer them time on his platform.
