Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing.

        So you’re denying he shocks his dog to keep him in place for the camera?

        Hasan is a giant piece of shit. Period.

            You’re right, of course.

            He never tortured his dog for streaming aesthetics, except for all the times it was captured live on video.

            Oh, how I wish idiocy was a Maga exclusive.

                I know he is. I’m just saying he’s not a good guy.

                He’s a dog abuser, poser, caviar leftist.

                I’m sure there are far better people on the left.

                Yeah he is popular with the left, but he is also a dog abuser. Are you turning a blind eye because he is leftist?

                    Why is it a rumor? The evidence is there to see with your own eyes, no need to believe people like Destiny or Ethan Klein, you can literally look it up and verify it yourself. I don’t like any of those guys, but saying Hasan ain’t a dog abuser is literally turning a blind eye, because you don’t want it to be true.

                    A video exists of Hasan Piker pulling his dog Fish back hard by the tail while saying if the dog moves he will “literally kill him”. I’ve seen it. Anyone who can treat animals like that is rotten inside. His followers who can ignore shit like that either don’t care how he treats animals or have put their head in the sand about it.

                    It’s ok to admit you like Hasan Piker and his message more than you care that he has abused animals on film. It’s silly and cultish to pretend anyone who has also seen these things with their own eyes is a fan of some other also piece of shit steamer. These people are all pieces of shit.

                    Your lives are bookended by assholes.
