The ones I *do* call out are the ones spreading misinformation and unsubstantiated drive-bys. You can review them yourself. However, that assertion is in no way related to the subject of my question to the language you have chosen to use on a discussion forum.
So back to the actual point "dude"; You have specifically over several Piker threads chosen to deploy the descriptor of "grifter" when describing not just him, but all streamers. So because you always choose to make this point specifically in threads in relation to Hasan, I'm simply asking you to substantiate your claim of him as a grifter.
This question couldn't be any more straightforward based off language and the consistent media figure you choose to make this point known; and in all that time you have failed to explain why you consider him a grifter. I'm just asking for you to elaborate how he has earned that label in your eyes.
So let's try this again;
Literally what is his grift [USER=143]B-Dubs[/USER] ?

And maybe extrapolate on why the clip you posted on page one is throwing Ukraine under the bus, what's actually being said and why its wrong. If you earnestly believe this person is a grifter or is unfairly criticizing something Ukraine did, why this guy shouldn't be platformed is worth explaining since it's seemingly such a polarizing figure. The other option is we all just shout over each other forever and nobody actually explains how they feel and just posts clips with no context etc. I don't care if you think it "speaks for itself", that's not good enough.
When streamers break containment and become part of a real, potentially world changing political push I expect not only all of their dirty laundry to get aired but also a mountain of twisted, manufactured laundry being pointed at. Its happening and more people (including myself) now know who some of these people are and due to how much contradicting and violent sounding commentary is going on it would be in all of our best interests to actually explain shit instead of adding to this rising tide of bullshit.
When you see Fox and establishment political talking heads mentioning a Twitch streamer seemingly every day its going to raise eyebrows, not in that this is an approaching end of Democracy and America, but more that they might be doing something against the norm that has some of the worst people i've ever heard about trying to shit on people like Zohran as if he's this unhuman Muslim demon trying to bring about American Sharia law or whatever. There must be something very real to it for all these smears to be kicked into overdrive.

You often post the same, generic message implying "all streamers are bad." I don't believe I've ever seen you specify why that is, or why Hasan is grouped in there. It's pretty clear you don't agree with all of his politics, and that's fine, but it's not that we can't take criticism of him, it's that you as an admin, alongside one other mod, uniquely show disdain for people like Hasan without ever providing legitimate reasons as to why.
It's frustrating to see, because if we made these posts about another person we know very little about, we'd get dog piled. If you believe in fighting fascism, or even simply yearn for 2016 liberalism, Hasan Piker is a net good for your worldview, and probably someone you want on your side.

Instead awful owners use shit like collars or, even worse, chokers, which just cause the dog to get even more aggressive because its being yanked around by the neck all the time.
Harnesses are mandatory for dogs over 50 pounds where I live, and while my dogs have always had them, so many people have their large dogs off harness AND off leash and its ridiculous.
Also, as a parent, too many parents tell their kids to approach dogs without asking and by approaching a dog via their face. That is the WORST way to approach a dog that doesn't know you, as many of their sensitive organs are located in the face that kid is reaching for.
So many times I've had kids just randomly try to touch my dogs, or parents ask if they can pet my dog and give me the stink eye when I say no because I know they haven't trained their kids at all on proper approach. Plus the kids are often overly giddy when they see the dog and are approaching and thats not a recipe for anything good either when approaching a 120 pound dog who thinks you want to play.
...I could write a book on bad owners and bad parenting leading to these kinds of incidents.
My kids grew up with our dogs (from newborn babies, when our dogs were 80-100 pounds and could smoosh them without blinking) and even to this day they know to give the dogs space when they need it, what signs to look for and to never, EVER approach a dog without permission.
Translation: Why living with my dogs is like living with a homicidal abusive spouse
OR
Everyone needs to teach their infant children the proper way to approach dogs (via parachute drop, coming in from the 10 o’clock angle at a speed slower than a casual jog) so that I can bring my killing machines into public spaces without guilt
Teaching kids how to behave around dogs is actually sensible.
Pitbulls would never hurt anyone, but with the proper training they can be made to rape on command by the nation of Israel.

I mean:
Quote: I was listening to a podcast recently, and it had a guest talking about his favorite genres of music. He liked EDM and hip hop, but said he's found modern acts in those genres stale.
What's interesting is that he said he's excited about AI-generated music. I was surprised to hear that. Most of my friends into music find AI-generated music a bit of an affront to the art of music. But I guess some people are excited about it. Not to mention the ethical issues with the trainign data.
This is bait.
Is like the bore circa 2024.
The math thread is more interesting because it is applied in the stuff that was already accepted it was useful for.

You should also mention the time he janked his dog by the tail. And his other dog bleeding at the neck because of the prong collar.
I follow many local shelter/rescues. Why are 90% of the dogs pitbulls?
We adopted a staffy/pit mix from the local rescue shelter. I wasn’t too happy when they showed us the dog but he was super friendly and after spending an hour or so with him he seemed alright. So we took him home and everything was fine. He settled right in no bother at all. Then I took him out for a walk a day or so later. A guy went past us on his bike and the dog went fucking mental. Luckily he was on the lead so I could control him. I wrote it off as just him having a moment. Then it happened again. Some woman on her bike went past us and he totally lost it. That was enough for me. He was a good dog but all I kept thinking about was what if my partner was walking him and a kid went past on their bike. No way she’d have been able to hold him back. So back to the shelter he went. I felt bad about it but I wasn’t taking on that risk.

I think most modern problems surrounding pitbulls is the contemporary world's relative lack of pits, their primary habitat, within which they are well-behaved and happy as a clam

Watching all this Pitbull talk as someone in the UK is just hilarious, I just don’t get the “it’s racist to not like this breed” the usual fucking weirdness from Americans that everything is race coded
