amazingly L takes in the comments so far

anyways for context for those not terminally online, Hasan is a leftist twitch streamer (who supports Ukraine*), he made a tweet advertising ac shadows.

some far right elon fan made a brain dead comment about it and elon took the opportunity to also dunk on hasan (because surely he has nothing else to do right?) calling him a "a sellout", to which hasan replied:

this bitch literally paid someone to powerlevel his character in poe2 lmao. wym i’m a fraud? elon i challenge you to a duel in elden ring. i will cook your fat rolling ass.

which got some 30k likes.

now hasan reply was already a ratio enough but then assassin's creeds official acc decided to completely destroy elon:

Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?

its so bad that even asmongold isnt taking elons side on this one

elons isnt taking this well understandably. getting burned on a platform that he brought for 44b that gotta hurt lmao. like literally no one in the streamers/gaming space is taking his side. anyone that does immediately gets ratioed in the replies.

This is... None of this is important.

Bloody hell, people in the comments getting worked over a social media altercation... On Twatter of all places...

We should probably be thankful that that narcissistic manchild is so addicted to his social media. Imagine how much more destructive shit he could have accomplished if he actually put his mind to it.

Musk, an avid gamer himself, claimed

Hey, glad to know this source has no credibility.

This article/situation reeks of the damp, hot, pungent smell of degeneracy.

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 39 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that’s the parts where they mentioned Elon.

[+] base@lemmy.world -15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hasan, Elon and Ubisoft... what is this, a shit triangle?

[–] conan@midwest.social 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

someone who supports trans rights, ukraine, is actually decent human being is not like the other but sure go on

[–] TiggerYumYum@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 3 days ago

He also supports pirates lol did you forget that?

wouldnt go as far as saying that hasan is a decent human being. no doubt, i rank im way higher than elmo. but that guy is still problematic on so many levels even if his believes align here there with my own. but to apply even more nuance to my shitpost: the most unfair part of my post was to generelise an individual single dev beeing the entirety of the soulless corporation of ubisoft.

/hmm, lots of fans around here. idk how one can fall for this disingenuous fuckface. but you do you.

you know who was disingenuous a moment ago? you.

Why? just to be clear decent doesnt mean you have to like him, it doesnt mean he is perfect. it just means he generally stands for whats good. he is a good person. its not really a high bar to clear.

decent, adjective

1.
conforming with generally accepted standards of respectable or moral behaviour.
"a decent clean-living individual"

i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you. if you really care, you should watch hasan's interview with novara media.

And if you think he doesnt do enough, well he recently went to a bernie/aoc rally and streamed the entire rally to 50k+ viewers. he has done fund raisers for good causes. he went to union protests to raise awareness. many other things that i dont remember right now. thats on top of the positive political commentary he does, in a space that is almost completely dominated by right wingers. you dont have to completely agree with him to realize he is a genuine force for good.

Wait, did you seriously create an account just to fanboy for Hasan - the champagne socialist, literal piracy supporter, and tankie? Wow, this is really pathetic.

[+] base@lemmy.world -6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

tbh not in the mood to argue with you about it. if your a hasan fan. fair enough. i'm not. as i said i dont consider him as bad as elon, not even in the same ball park. but i still consider him shit. i was even subscribed to him a few years ago. i've seen enough first hand. my views on him arent filtered through takes of others.

so i was about to give you the win by going silent and just leave it be.

but:

i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you.

fuck off. get bent. posted as a leftist.

[–] FearMeAndDecay 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Not who you responded to, but can you share why you don’t like Hasan? I’ve mostly just seen clips of him talking with AOC and Bernie and when he covered the writer’s strike. I don’t know much about him and his content otherwise so I’m wondering if there’s more I should know?

[–] TiggerYumYum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Champagne socialist, supports piracy on innocent people, tankie - criticizes Christianity and American imperialism but supports Islam and China's imperialism.

All sorts of problematic.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not the guy. I've watched a decent bit of Hasan and if you only listen to what he says, not examine what he does or who he does it for, then he probably seems like a champion for leftist causes.

That being said, he works for Night Media and definitely does not put his money where his mouth is. I personally dislike the hypocrisy.

[–] FearMeAndDecay 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What’s night media? Also what do you mean he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is? Does he donate to Trump or something?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Night media is a talent agency that was associated with Mr. Beast (you know, during his most popular years) and is still associated with Asmongold (you know, propaganda pointed at young men).

Hasan Piker is the son of a billionaire from Turkey. While I don't know the specifics of how much money he's received from him, if any, that doesn't really matter. The man is a multi millionaire who has made his money on a platform that is absolutely riddled with propaganda mouthpieces. Many people do not see an issue with this, I do.

He also really loves to claim he's a socialist, yet is a multi millionaire (after buying him and his family a 2.7 million dollar home in L.A.). Too many things don't add up for me, so I stopped watching him.

All that being said, idk what's in his heart of hearts. He might not be a bad guy, I might be assuming the worst. Make of it what you will.

[–] TiggerYumYum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Ah, the champagne socialist. Socialism for fashion. They're always problematic.

Remember when official accounts only post links where to buy their game(s). I miss those days.

[–] Reisen@sh.itjust.works 44 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

remember when social media CEOs weren’t like… this? i miss those days much more than some official game account taking a potshot back.

I think that that's just Elon.

kinda, but zuck also went off the deep end

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Zuck has never been a good person or treated his users with respect.

Tom from Myspace may have been the only stable one.
