  Do you mean Ethan Klein? Because yeah, he is a genocide-denying piece of shit. That doesn’t make shock collars okay to use.

  The rape allegations against Neil Gaiman were first publicized by a TERF; he doesn’t get a pass either.

    No, I mean the guy in this video.

      Okay. Them being pieces of shit doesn’t make it okay to use a shock collar on your dog.

        It also doesn’t make the conclusion of abuse any less spurious.

  I am not at all, but you all should know that this guy is willing to excuse and deflect away from animal abuse when it’s being done by his favorite streamer.

  Honestly, one guy on Twitch who inflicts pain on his dog sometimes when he’s angry about his tech not working right isn’t the end of the world in the nonstop circus of horrors that is geopolitics. But this whole mentality “but he’s my guy, so he didn’t do anything wrong” is a dangerous enough pattern to be worth pushing back hard against, when it happens, I think. That’s part of why I am even taking all this streamer drama seriously in any respect in the first place. And, of course, someone who’s willing to lie to everyone’s face about what they literally watched happen on stream with their own two eyes probably isn’t a good person to put in your close and trusted circle of “influencers.”

    Nono, I mean the guy presenting you this evidence in the video. Lonerbox is a genocide denying zionist and has had a two-year-long feud against piker.

    It should be a red flag that all the creators dedicating resources to covering this slop are outspoken zionists.

      Couldn’t care less. Just as “But he’s *Hasan*, he would never do that!” doesn’t really mean anything to me, “But he’s a *Zionist*, he’s obviously wrong!” doesn’t either.

      I didn’t really say anything about this video until I had a chance to go through Hasan’s stream and check it out and this is definitely legit. He bought a shock collar and then covered it up with tape to pretend it was a vibration collar. As far as I’m concerned that makes it about 100% likely that he also shocked his dog and lied about that, too. If the other guy’s a Zionist, then sure, he’s a piece of shit too (as long as it’s not one of those “Bernie is a Zionist” clever wordplay constructions where as long as he doesn’t literally want Israel destroyed, he’s a Zionist). They can both be pieces of shit. Hasan still shocked his dog and lied about it, and fuck him for that, whatever else is happening with whatever else.

        I don’t care

        Yes i think that’s pretty emblematic of the situation

        You’re parasocially obsessing over a political streamer who has primarily been covering the Palestinian genocide, alongside streamers who have primarily defended it while mercilessly attacking streamers and artists speaking against Israel. Either you don’t know you’re stepping into two years worth of streamer drama slop, or you’re opportunistically jumping on because of your own distaste for his politics.

        Either way, the situation you’ve dedicated the last three days to on this account is certainly not worth yours or anyone else’s time unless you happen to be personally invested in the relative influence of this specific political commentator.
