I mean, if you ignore the constant advocacy he does for rank and file workers and unions, alongside his repeated acknowledgement of his privilege, this would be a legitimate criticism if you left out the “in the same way”.

Wow it’s almost like it’s impossible to have 100% consistency across 12 hours a day of talking…
Leomas@lemmy.world 2 days ago
He’s consistenty a fucking tool in certain opinions and continues to double-down on the worst takes. Also an animal abuser.
JDPoZ@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Anyone here calling Piker an animal abuser is either someone who’s been fooled by grifters, or an absolutely gross liar.

Why are people hating on this guy? GREAT QUESTION.
Well, you see - there’s a bunch of really gross right wingers who hate him, as well as grifting streamers (including some sex pests who have gotten into ACTUAL trouble) who don’t like this specific commentator who’ve tried to discredit him and in a moment where the guy’s very well-treated and absolutely beloved dog apparently hurt her paw or something and they were able to edit out of context, intentionally misinterpret, and then convince their hordes of followers to make memes of the moment and share everywhere and comment in every thread mentioning the guy.
You don’t have to take my word for it.
There are plenty of other left-wing and even just centrist types, like Medhi Hasan, the Pod Johns, Kyle Kulinski, Sam Seder and his crew at the Majority Report all vouch for the guy. Hell, even Zohran Mamdani and AOC vouch for Hasan Piker.

I watched Hassan become famous and his dishonest imbecility is about the only consistent feature of his character.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 days ago
Is there some in depth (3000 word+) article about this? I’ve literally never seen him be dishonest about stuff. I don’t watch him that much.

I keep saying that actual literacy is a required prerequisite to media literacy… pretty scary how many people functionally can’t read these days.
