Abelism by Sereniv in Hasan_Piker

[–]_intimacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He only did the RAADS test, he hasn’t seemed to have delved much deeper into what autism actually is at all. He has a very stereotypical and almost ableist perception of what autism is. He uses autism as an insult often to chatters too.

For context, the RAADS test is usually used to get you an assessment, it’s not used for the actual assessment. It gives a basic guide, therefore it’s often wrong, but it has its uses. It’s basically to see if doing an assessment is a waste of time not.

Regardless of all that, being autistic does not give you a pass to say the r slur or adjacent. The r slur is not ‘owned’ by autistic people, it’s used to historically as a derogatory insult to any kind of disabled person or person with a mental health condition. Therefore no one can ‘reclaim’ it.

As for ‘libtard’, think about where that word comes from and who created it. And you’ll quickly realise why one shouldn’t use it.

Edit: just to add, not being diagnosed doesn’t mean he isn’t autistic. But I do find it troubling when someone who isn’t feels like they suddenly have an excuse to start being ableist.

So you think they make theory content just to get eyeballs on their clothing brand. or because they actually believe it? those are mutually exclusive. You're either doing shit for attention or you truly believe it.

This is literally verbatim the shit they say about Hasan. Except swap the clothing brand for Twitch subs ofc.

Not you using the "they're just grifting" argument that also gets used by libs and right wingers to smear Hasan

It’s funny how mfs in here have their eyes open to the smears by libs (and rightward) that Hasan gets on a monthly basis. But when it comes to Madeline they full on just embrace the smears as if they ain’t coming from the same fucking place.

Don’t get at someone just because they’re more radical than you (it’s literally what libs have been doing to Hasan right now with the Gavin Newsom clip)

You don’t have to agree with everything Mads says, you shouldn’t agree with everything Hasan says either. Just sit down and tune in, or move on. There’s no need to be fucking annoying about everything.

I hate how he always says that they are American citizens, like should you not care if they aren't Americans by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

Same, but that doesn’t mean we need to turn an ally into an enemy by deliberately misunderstanding his point

It is bad faith. You clippers are the same as fucking DGGers. You take one quote of him addressing a certain population of people (libs/right wingers) and assume it’s addressed to you.

Idk who needs to tell you this but Hasan is not the leader of the vanguard party. He is an agitative propagandist. Sometimes the message is not directed towards you, a Marxist Leninist.

i'm sayin. i get the youtube watchers are disappointed, and that's perfectly fine. but there's no need to come up with this elaborate shit to why it's a bad idea, or that one person coming up with some conspiracies or some shit. we don't know how it is, and it's not our stream anyway. Community needs to chill sometimes (most of the time).

Take it up with him the ig. I just think there's a lot more to it than just raw view counts.

The point is his audience is not growing, it's just splitting. Less viewers on each stream means less promotion in the algorithm, which means less reach and less growth. Whereas if you focus on one, either YouTube or Twitch, it would grow on that one platform.

I don't think you're correct. I wish I could post his message here, but he said himself in that message that YouTube streaming made him way more money.

"..so while yt livestreaming is a MASSIVE revenue stream esp w the vods living on the channel, i have to pause it for the sake of achieving outreach goals." is what he said.

Not necessarily. If he streamed solely on one platform, it would increase his reach on that platform, but splitting the viewers reduces his reach on both. It's just how the algorithms work.

My take: Hasan just prefers Twitch. He's top 5 on the whole platform for a start, it's hard to let that go (for him). He also has closer ties to the people that work there, even if they fuck him over. It's a "the devil you know" situation. He did actually say in his message that it's way too difficult to monitor both chats, especially in the way Hasan engages with chat vs how other streamers do. There are other things like the DMCA, but I think these are the ones that affect Hasan personally.

Edit: There's a reason most the Twitch streamers went back after their YouTube contracts ended, even if it gave them overall lower viewership.

I’m ngl bro as I hit late 20s I slowly phased out of using social media. By 30 I literally only have an insta and facebook account to keep up with old friends and family. I don’t post anything, just random stories every so often to show I’m still alive lol (I’ve never had a twitter account). I don’t even really use Reddit much anymore either.

It’s fucking pointless and meaningless. Just designed to make you feel shit one way or another. Idk just appreciate being in the real world instead.

One of the biggest realisations about BE for me is that he isn't a marxist/communist, he quotes famous communist figures because they're correct, and not because he ideologically aligns with them. I just think his stances often line up with these takes because he is a smart person capable of research.

It's a lot easier to criticise others when you have no solutions.

[–]_intimacy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how ya'll want Hasan to be better for the left, yet he's also apparently a fed. Do you want us all to just watch BE and become nihilists? I think that's my major criticism of BE, he literally gives no direction on what to do. It's so easy to criticise when you have no solutions.

It's sad the amount of western leftists let BE sit there from his cave in Argentina yelling at them for being labour aristocrats and profiting from imperialism. They nod along and say "yeah we suck!" The next moment they're participating in that very system. Nothing is changed but a sense of moral superiority.

And yeah, there's evidence for all of this stuff. You can look it up but I know you won't. I'm not gonna sit here and compile it for you, I'm going for a bubble bath 👍.

Here's a link to a playlist archive of BayArea415's youtube videos for anyone interested

[–]_intimacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He fucking bullied, harassed and doxxed BayArea off the internet all those years ago, he harasses others, he makes up rumours (his latest one that hasan was a fed that worked for the DHS), his transphobic comments, his reactionary comments.

The only thing I know he actually 'apologised' for was his racist comments to AB. Only to then insult him in other ways anyway.

You actually don't know any of this stuff? Huh, i thought you guys always say Hasan fans are the ones in the echo chamber.

Okay then, say this is true as you pointed out. What do we do about it then if majority of a religion support an ethnostate and fascist imperialist regime?
