The fact that there has been no action taken against @Mike_from_PA shows that @Twitch doesn't care if anyone close to @hasanthehun calls for violence to a fellow twitch streamer. @TwitchSupport do the right thing, this kind of rhetoric shouldn't be allowed to be platformed.
Considering deleting my @Twitch channel. I dont make a lot from it, but its 200+ a month ish. Thats not nothing.
But I cannot abide a platform basically declaring open season on anyone who criticizes Hasan...which is what they are doing by failing to protect @hutchinson by even SPEAKING OUT against @Mike_from_PA
Calls to violence like this have no place in...well, anywhere.
Why won't @TwitchSupport@Twitch act?
#CancelPrime until Mike from PA and Hasan Piker face consequences for their incitement of hate and violence. Spread the word.
Destiny @TheOmniLiberal discusses how @Twitch protects violent catalyst like @Mike_from_PA from the top down while they call for & direct ALL violence against @hutchinson who's considering taking legal action and who's wife says she doesn't feel safe. When's it enough Twitch?
Hey @Twitch , address this.
Mike has a pattern of threatening violence against people, of wishing harm on them, of fomenting violent anger towards someone.
Will you not at the LEAST speak out against it?
@hutchinson is one of your streamers. Will you not stick up for him?!
It cannot be overstated just how much a lot of people on social media viscerally loathe Destiny, and Mike here is using that to try and hurt me in some way + justify his unhinged rhetoric.
It doesn’t matter that it’s not true. He doesn’t give a fuck. Him lying to his followers that I’m starting a podcast with Destiny is a signal to them to attack me, because if Destiny is the ultimate evil and I’m partnering with him on something, that means I’m also the ultimate evil and their attacks are justified.
I can only guess that he’s doing this because he’s genuinely worried about losing his source of income, because he knows he went way, waaaaaay over the line with this one. So he’s flailing and trying to spin his unhinged rhetoric and threats into some righteous cause against the forces of evil.
So. Mike just lies. Constantly. Lies about settling on terms for two bets while claiming I owe him money. Lies about my actual politics. Constant, constant lies.
Here he’s lying about me “starting a podcast with Destiny” to justify his blatant threats of violence against me.
Mike added a wiki screenshot to the YouTube vid, clarifying that he did in fact mean murdering me.
What is the most innocent reason you can think of for doing that? And do you think that adding a “lol jk” after calling for someone to be murdered means that you’re all good?
Woke up and saw that @Twitch still has not taken action on the most egregious incitement to violence (this is not the first) that Mike has pointed in my direction. Surely they just haven't seen the clip yet, right guys?
There's just no way...right?
After the elections, the Democratic Party should strip any traitor who spoke out against @KamalaHarris from positions of leadership. If you attacked our candidate in a pivotal race like this, you're working for Trump and the Republicans - and should not have any leadership role.
Unhinged, unacceptable, unforgivable rhetoric against Hutch from a reprehensible piece of shit
Fuck him and anybody else who speaks this way or supports rhetoric like this, particularly in today’s climate
One of my biggest concerns in the current moment in US politics revolves around the consequences of hyperpolarization and radicalization, and how mainstream rhetoric slowly becomes more and more divorced from reality, which then becomes the new baseline of normal. I find it all very surreal and my brain struggles to come up with explanations for much of what is said by so many people with large platforms.
Mike and many in his audience have become so radicalized that when they think of me, they genuinely regard me as evil on the level of nazis. I really do mean that literally. My replies and emails have gotten INSANE in the last few years, and the insanity predictably ramps up when creators like Mike engage in unacceptable behavior like today. They sincerely believe that I'm paid by Israel, or that I'm conspiring with Destiny to hurt them in some way, or that I'm secretly a far right operative trying to sabotage their revolution. I just want to stress once again that I am being quite literal when I say these things. It's not a bit. They actually believe this.
It is easy to dismiss this kind of rhetoric as edgelord internet stuff but it's just not. They really do believe in their bones that extreme or violent actions may be necessary in the face of pure evil like me. I purchased a gun for the first time in my life this year in part because of how many fully unhinged comments I see constantly. Will somebody actually do the thing? Probably not? I mean shit I certainly hope not. I do have two cats that need a father figure and a fiancée that would be pretty bummed if I no longer existed.
The radicalization that we can all see swallowing friends, family, coworkers, etc., has become a huge problem cannot become the new normal. It is not sustainable. Maybe I need to spend some time thinking about the possible ways that I might be unintentionally contributing to it. I do sometimes vent and lash out in ways that I normally regret a week later. I really will reflect on that for a bit.
But I don't think I'm insane for thinking that it is baffling that anyone would listen to the things that I say, or see the posts that I make, and think that murdering me would be a proportionate response, or that it would make the world less evil. I can be a little spicy at times, but I do genuinely try to be a kind person when I'm not deep in the trenches of stupid Twitter arguments.
Annnnyways. Shit's crazy man what can you do 😬
Folks! I'm a big boy. I do not care if whatever disagreement you have with me leads to insults. It is difficult to hurt my feelings at this point in my life.
But telling your audience, in THIS climate, that they have a moral obligation to murder me is obviously unacceptable.
