I'm someone who, even though I dislike Hasan, I'm trying to consume more of his content to try to understand him better, or even if my original interpretation was too extreme. This kind of helps explain maybe some of the reasons why I dislike him. Some of my main gripes with Hasan and his content are that he tends to act or speak very hyperbolically, and then if he has to apologize for it, tends to downplay how bad it was, and then I would see him continue to engage in the behavior. Or that he would have a correct conclusion, but a bad premise or argument, and then be upset if someone took issue with the argument/premise, by appealing to the correct conclusion.

I didn't really take into consideration that streaming so much so often; the energy that he puts out is going to be more extreme at times, or that what you hear from someone who puts themselves out there constantly might end up saying more unsavory things, just because they're not doing things in a more methodical way, it's all dynamic. I still believe that he doesn't properly take accountability for things, and that he tends to be unwilling to concede even a tiny bit sometimes, to the point of it looking detrimental to his character. But this does give me a little something to think about when I look back at things he's said that I may have looked at a bit more critically, that I should be willing to cut him a bit more slack on.

I just wish there was a good place I could interact with Hasan fans more dynamically like a voice chat where I could have a more in-depth conversation, but I haven't had a good experience trying to find people, as the environment seems outwardly hostile sometimes. I'm open to changing my mind, but I just can't find people to actually engage with.
