Why does he need to be defended? Does he actually contribute to the issues he is concerned with in any way that doesn’t also benefit his brand? How would any streamer, regardless of their professed politics, be worth anything to a revolutionary process? Why is he not a mere spectacle?

    Unfortunately, most of this “bad behavior” comes second-third hand from clipped out of context videos from the Destiny hate brigades

    All the major anti-Hasan talking points can traced back to nonsense started by Vaush or Destiny as revenge for Hasan eclipsing them five years ago

    For example one fake scandal involved Hasan supposedly visiting a German brothel in 2011 that was raided by feds for sex-trafficking, it was make believe, the brothel was the victim of police harassment and successfully sued, the raid took place years after Hasan visited, and he expressed mild embarrassment for going when he was 19

    But destiny bots and vasuh cultists blew it up beyond proportions and lied, so Hasan is still persona non grata in some liberal radfem circles, because “he’s a sex trafficker”

    Leftists and liberals alike construct their own version of Hasan through hostile second hand sources and years later refuse to adjust their view, even while Hasan becomes one of the most prominent leftists in America
