This is a 400-word post in a thread about someone being the victim of Islamophobic attacks in which only the first sentence was "he is the victim of Islamophobia" and everything after that is "but..."

No, it doesn't matter that he posted something shitty on Twitter in 2012 when he was literally 20 years old. It has absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand. Neither does the interview you link to while lying about his age at the time and neither does the out-of-context clip between him and a current close friend of his.

That doesn't mean it was okay of him to brag about receiving unsolicited nudes nearly 10 years ago. But what is so frustrating about your post is that what you're actually doing is showing that people can grow, mature and better themselves.

Yes, he said very some gross things 10-15 years ago, in his early-to-mid 20s.

And now in 2026, that same person is now using his platform to fight for social issues and basic human rights, while becoming one of the leading public figures standing up against an ongoing genocide and helping to educate thousands of young people in the process.

I'm all for calling out a person out for saying and doing terrible things. The caveat to that being that it is important to consider when those things were said/done and if the person has clearly grown and changed since then. And if they have, do you really feel okay bringing up those old moments with the intent of dismissing the fact that they're currently the victim of widespread Islamophobic attacks?

Look at the wording:

It is super clear that the boss call went out from AIPAC. Everyone attacking him for his latest rightwing smear regarding Jew and the conflation with Zionism and Israel are not up the the task of defending against fascism and must resign.
If you who read this have tried make this attack I want you to know I have nothing but the deepest contempt for you. I have no idea what you are, and why anyone would even by chance want to be and stay on the same side as a regime carrying out the biggest genocide is decades.

Doesn't he use his platform to call for eliminating basic human rights and emulating the most mass murdering regimes in human history? Or is he just some kind of edgelord centrist?

The only thing Hasan's fighting for is his next designer outfit, Cartier jewelry, or Porsche.

And the media's barely covered his early-20s failed pickup artist "old enough to count, old enough to mount" era.

[benji]

No, no, no, my streamer guy who has never said anything objectionable or extreme in his entire life (all examples are either jokes or lies from Zios/Sexpests/fascists/etc.) is also a major threat to the entire political and economic order of the world's most dominant country because he actually calls for social justice and human rights which shakes the powers that be to their very core as they have no answer except to coordinate smears through all the media organs they control. (Except Twitch, owned by Jeff Bezos, and Twitter, owned by Elon Musk. Also  everybody else who has run fawning profiles of Piker for years.)

[Ethan]

Just finished this video and it is fantastic.

Absolutely great point made about how the Republicans will take advantage of this and run an Anti-Israel Candidate in 2028 to seize on this by way of Tucker Carlson or somebody espousing the same position on Israel. I can totally see that happening, because at the end of the day this is an 80/20 issue and the Republicans will figure out a way to spin it in their favor.

Really really great point.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-attack-on-hasan-piker-by-centrists-democrats-is-disgraceful-and-borderline-islamophobic.1614361/post-159691465



They still think 2024 was decided by Israel/Palestine and not the price of eggs? And they think 2028 will also be decided by I/P?

You know what else is an 80/20 issue? Not having to hear about I/P.

[Uncle]

if they keep getting upset over this, white people are just gonna pick a better word than power

"rest in total and utter domination, rest in victory, sorry these are our phrases and they only apply to dead white people"

[benji]

"An 80/20 issue" aka one that only 1% of the population ever lists as their top issue and is split closer to 50/50.

And the Republicans, the party of evangelicals and anti-Sharia law anxiety, are the ones who are going to unify around attacking Israel in the name of Arabs as their big post-Trump rebrand and focus.

edit:

[Let's Cyber]

And the media's barely covered his early-20s failed pickup artist "old enough to count, old enough to mount" era.

His old cringy videos would get 99.99% of political commentators banished to the Era Shadow Realm alongside Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077, but Himbo Hasan gets a pass. 

Transphobia 
Boys Club rhetoric x10
Racism 

There are just too many videos out there of him malding and saying all kinds of shit out of pocket. That video of him blowing up on that Vietnamese lady is fucking wild. 



This would nuke most people's political careers by itself, but since he's instead positioning himself as some kind of kingmaker behind the scenes, starry-eyed leftists will look the other way.

To be fair, that traitor didn't read her materialist dialectics textbook well enough to know how much of a paradise the country she betrayed and is now badmouthing is.

Reinforcements on turn 2 of the SECOND FUCKING MISSION is a dick move on every conceivable level. What the actual fuck, level designers? I have no healing.

I think I'm already bouncing off of this. The sheer amount of reinforcements spam they're throwing at me in every mission when I literally don't even have enough actions to not constantly get killed is stressful and miserable. I still only have 3 members in my squad and they just dropped six new enemies on me in a single turn.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it far enough to get a full squad without having a panic attack every fucking mission?

I can't even get to exfil because I'm being overwhelmed by shit from every goddamn direction. That's exactly the problem. There's just too much reinforcements spam.

Russians shouldn't be eligible to play sports anywhere in the west. Unless they give up their passports and denounce their regime.

This is how I feel, commit to leaving Russia in every way possible or don't come. We don't live in a world where politics doesn't infiltrate and pollute sports in every fashion. That's the reality.



LSU literally giving zero fucks about doing the right thing isn't a surprise though. You either make someone act right or you get LSU's current culture.

100% agreed, I don't think anyone from a country actively prosecuting a genocidal war of aggression should think they have the right to play college sports in the United States

Family tastes and good child memories, most likely. Is the same reason she was into Five Nights at Freddy’s. Her black supremacist larp is a way to compensate being from a high middle class black family.

Can someone in that 16 page thread just ask what the fuck the Islamophobic attacks are? Saying that Mamdani wants turn the world trade center into a mosque is an Islamophobic attack. Saying that Hasan is antisemitic isn't. Fucking Mark Ruffalo is being called antisemitic. Regardless of whether you think the accusation is true or not, being accused of antisemitism is not Islamophobic.

The unchecked casual Islamophobia happening in this thread is actively depressing.

I just want to make it clear what you did here.

You read the title of this thread, which makes it clear that it is about a person who is currently the target of widespread Islamophobic attacks, and decided your contribution to it would be to complain that people are defending him against said Islamophobic attacks.

Really think about that for a moment.

I do think this is gross stuff, I'd also add to it him dismissively scoffing at the idea of wearing a condom on some workout video (don't have the source, sorry - but basically a guy he's working out with asks if he ever wears a condom, and Hasan gave this "Psshh... no!" take).

But the thing that I appreciate about Hasan is that he seems to recognize its gross and works to do better. He does believe redemption is possible for everyone, it's one of the themes he keeps hitting - like redemption being possible for IDF soldiers who now speak out against a genocide. It's not excusing past behavior or crimes, it's a belief that people can change for the better.

In response to Paperbag-kun.  So if someone from the right tries to do better Ree would accept them?  God, I wish I had a cock sucker like Jeff is to Hasan

There really is no legitimate reason for that ban. Just repeating what posters usually say, but since it’s about GTA (something ree cares about), now that same rhetoric is inappropriate.
