@MaddiesHotTake@hasanthehun Hasan is a deeply unpopular figure among people who are aware of him. More than that he makes himself an easy target with his behavior, and his ego. Part of the reason people were dubious of AES was because he made a choice to involve Hasan which was easily foreseeable foible.
@IbaraEleven What it really should tell you is that you live in a political bubble where you have been given permission to put value on some identities and devalue others; which was the exact problem of a lot of of 2016 identity politics.
@magi_jay The problem is Hasan has made his entire brand/appeal to people that his politics will succeed in places outside of the ultra controlled online bubble he lives in. Now hes facing rejection and can't blame it on his normal enemies; so he has to cope to his audience. Egos gonna ego
@shesrightshow Its kind of hilarious how much the insane gaslighting is on display now, It used to be a lot more contained but now they are fighting so many battles their gross tactics are on full display.
@davidsirota David, do you of all people think its a good idea to start questioning other people's campaigning history? I think the 1999 Philly Mayoral race may be an anchor you don't want to walk into that fight with.
@magi_jay The real answer is Twitch likes controversial and engaging streamers who are "corporate safe". They don't care if they cause damage if they bring in the bucks. Hasan in particular has gotten some defense form being the CEO Dan Clancy's favorite streamer.
@magi_jay@TheOmniLiberal Being fair I don't really know if anyone involved with DGG was actually aware of any of this drama. This sounds like such a passing thing I doubt anyone remembers it happened.
@magi_jay@TheOmniLiberal Its quite literally is double standards (Hasan is the CEO's favorite streamer). Destiny was banned (from what we know) for calling a group of trans activists inbreed and saying he doesn't want to engage with them because they will try to ruin his life...
@fw_Badman Its arguable who the strongest green lantern is. Normally the response is Hal, he has feats with the rings that kinda defy the limits we normally see. Kyle has more experience with all the different types of lantern rings than anyone else, but his power fluctuates wildly.
