I’ve only ever heard of this guy because of people trying to backlash him.
I discovered him when they tried to pretend he was zapping his dog on stream. It was an interesting sequence because apparently they targeted people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything.
Obviously they found a large audience, but hey Hasan gained a follower I guess.
That’s how their entire canceled culture works.
The book bans are just lists of books that none of them have read too.
This is the type of shit that makes the left looks ridiculous. He does zap his dog. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but showing it has tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times. You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. "Her claw got caught": 1. Do you wish to buy a bridge? 2. He still barely gave a fuck, which is condemnable regardless. He also used to complain about his dog moving around before the "incident", instead of just laying in one spot.
Just because someone is a leftist it does not mean you should cover for them. That is cult like behaviour. Fuck Hasan, fuck animal abusers, and fuck people covering for animal abusers just because they are aligned politically.
Edit: There's also this older moment:

Hey it's cool man, i sure expected to see one of you people in the replies.
🙄 Go on, tell us who "you people" are then.
My ~~brother~~ cultist in Christ, all the clips I mentioned were available on his channel as were the vods. Maybe they've been removed by now, but that is where I saw them. I literally used to be a Hasan viewer. You are in a cult.
The whole thing is predicated upon him training her to sit still for hours on end on stream "like a prop", which she barely ever does. Litterally you just have to watch the VODs , you'd be lucky to find more than 10 minutes of her on-screen on most streams. The whole scenario is pure brainrot and only believable if you don't look critically at the evidence. So this guy used a shock collar to train a large dog to sit still for hours on end but there was only one (1) transgression ever recorded and she never sits still anyway. How do you square that up ?
You're grasping at a few seconds of video (out of the 6+ hours he produces daily year in year out), edited out of context by people with a very specific agenda, and walls of concern-trolling prose that tugs at your emotional strings for some reason. It's trivially easy to make up that kind of story and astro-turf it to death, with hundreds of inactive accounts coincidentally posting their first comment in the same week, which happens to be a copy-pasted list of pre-digested arguments and fact-free appeals to outrage. You're getting QAnon'd in the worst way.
"An abuser!" You guys are absolutely hilarious.
That's fine by me. I don't care that he doesn't know me. I just really hate that one specific dog. I don't even care about his politics, just so long as he's making Kaya suffer.
Hey, by the way, you're vegan, right? Because the amount of animal suffering you're accusing Hasan of causing is absolutely dwarfed by the suffering you're actively funding if you eat meat or animal products. I am, except for that one carve out that I just really hate one specific dog.
It is kind of strange though that you're calling me scum and attacking Hasan over allegedly shocking one dog one time instead of for all the cows and chickens and so on he has killed for him. Come to think of it, what's really strange is that you're more concerned about this one dog than you are about the countless human beings being slaughtered in Gaza. How many lives has he saved by raising money? Pretty sure his entire workout routine could just be beating dogs and he'd still be a net positive.
So let's recap, I'm scum because I don't give a shit about a single dog, so that means that every non-vegan is super mega ultra scum and anyone on the wrong side regarding Palestine is super mega ultra scum times infinity.
I am vegan, first off, so sorry to burst your bubble. But you're clearly not a vegan if you're defending a dog abuser. Being vegan is an ideal that goes beyond not consuming animal products. Imagine being a vegan and sitting here defending that fucking dude.
I do care about Gaza, but this isn't about that and I can care about more than one thing. How do you feel about pedophila in the Catholic church? They also raise a lot of money and help a lot of people in need. I guess in your book that offsets. No one is black and white; but I'm not going to sit here and defend animal abuse.
If you pick and chose when to have morals and care, you don't really have any morals. You're just roleplaying. So fuck off, scum, for defending an animal abuser. The time you've spent here could also have been spent on helping Gaza in some way, but you are actively choosing to defend an animal abuser. If you don't care about him you could have ignored my comments and just moved on to something you do care about. But you made the conscious decision to stop here and waste time defending an animal abuser. All the things you say about me could be thrown back at you; the difference is that I'm calling out animal abuse while you defend it. So, once and for all, fuck you.
That's why I said, "except" yes.
Isn't it? What was Hasan talking about literally at the moment the internet decided to make everything about his dog?
Right back act ya.
And fuck every single non-vegan streamer and fuck every single person who watches them too, right?
There's no "except". You're not vegan.
No, it's not. Answer my catholic priests question. Plenty of them are saying to love thy neighbour, the Pope has also spoken in support of Gaza and Ukraine. So how do you feel about pedophila in the church?
You're the one who brought it up mate, don't try to gotcha me with "back at ya" when that's what I'm doing to you lmao
Reading is a useful skill. As I said, that time is being spent by me to call out an animal abuser; it's being spent by you to defend an animal abuser.
Sure, fuck em, but at least they have the excuse of cognitive dissonance and being raised to see farm animals as meat. Most people don't even think of the animal as they eat the meat, and at least something is gained by eating. None of that can be used as an excuse for Hasan to abuse his dog.
But you're not even denying the abuse anymore, just trying to deflect onto other things to protect your beloved abuser. So fuck off. I'm blocking you; feel free to use your time to do all the things you think I should be doing with mine instead.
No, I don't approve of Catholic priests molesting children, which is absolutely in no way comparable to using a shock collar on a dog. Allegedly using a shock collar on a dog.
I am absolutely denying your made up bullshit, I'm just also not accepting the bullshit framing around the bullshit. Hasan didn't shock his dog, but even if he had, it's really not that significant.
You literally did the exact same thing already, in reverse. You claimed that even if he didn't shock his dog, he "barely gave a fuck" that it yelped which is "still condemnable."
This is exactly how you ratfuck someone. You talk shit about made up bullshit and then you've established that they're in the position of being "on trial" and once they're on trial, even if the original allegation doesn't stick, you can find something else to pin on them. This is why I'm making it clear that, not only is the original allegation nonsense, but even if it was true it wouldn't matter. You're only trying to cancel him because of the things he says politically, that, or you've fallen for an influence campaign by people who want that.
There's a Blazing Saddles quote that immediately springs to mind.
It was her dew claw. Honest question: have you ever had a large dog?
My small dog does the exact same thing, probably a couple of times a week (he has all 4 dew claws).
It's just so clear to me from the video (even the clip-chimped ones) that it's a yelp of surpise, and the offending body part is the paw she lifts up after.
Yes, I've had dogs all my life including large ones. I don't have time to keep writing the same thing, so here's a copy paste from another comment of mine:
So we know she's wearing an electrical collar, we know he is lying about it, we know there are more similar moments on stream, and we have the past history of Hasan pulling a dogs tail.... So why would you believe him about the claw? The only reason to believe it's the claw is because he said so. But we already know he is a liar, and showed complete disregard for her and didn't even check on her.
Is this how you think arguments work? We don't know that. That's literally what the argument is about, you don't magically win by default by just claiming it as truth.
Go fuck yourself, she clipped her dew claw on her bed. Big dogs can be clumsy. Get a fucking life.
All of you are projecting so fucking hard LMAO. Second terminally online person that tells me to get a life.
Look at your account age and your number of comments. Then look at mine. You have a problem, you fucking loser.
Fuck you for defending an animal abuser. He literally showed the collar on stream -- DAYS AFTER PEOPLE WERE CALLING HIM OUT - and it was an electrical collar with black tape over the prongs, which he claimed to be a "vibrating colar".
You are fucking scum. Fuck you and your cult of animal abusers and defenders.
Yikes. Are you ok?
I'm kind of just at a loss for words... I'm in a cult of animal abusers and defenders? Because...?
Because all of the evidence that I saw showed a big dog getting her dew claw caught on her bed? But the way, something that literally happened to one of the dogs I had growing up. In front of me. Something that I've seen happen exactly right in front of my own fucking eyes.
For whatever reason, you've been convinced otherwise.
And this means that I'm scum, and I'm in a cult of animal abusers? Do you know how fucking offensive that is? Like honestly go fuck yourself.
I'm also not really sure what my comment count has to do with it. Not that I feel the need to defend myself, but Lemmy is the one and only form of social media that I use, so yeah I post a lot of comments.
Are you really gonna go on Lemmy and give others shit for being "terminally online"? Especially given the current topic of discussion... The fact that either of us is even aware of the situation means we're both terminally online, my friend.
You sound invested, despite being so terribly wrong. You should take a break from the internet.
Your account is 3 months old and you have 2.4k comments.
I've been here over 3 years with less than 500.
Lol
Are all 500 of your comments equally as impassioned about being incorrect on a subject?
Oh, another deflection. How surprising.
Do you have anything of value to say? I guess it's not hard to get to 2.4k comments in 3 months when it's all completely worthless and void of any substance. I guess we must all find meaning somewhere, but I hope you find s better place. And that you stop defending animal abusers.
Edit: also .ml user LOL, I hadn't even been looking at people instances until now, but not surprised.
What happened? I thought I told you to keep whining about me!
Lmao, please keep whining about me.
AHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious! Could it possibly be more obvious that you're acting in bad faith?
I can't believe there are so many kanine zap deniers out there.
I have seen that clip. I have seen evidence provided by accusation. Even collar company claimed that this was a shock collar. There is no denial that he did it. And yet people think cancel culture tries to cancel Hasan for no reason. Dude zaps his dog and we're jaut gonna blame cancel culture for telling the world this is jot the person to preach to us. Okay then 🤷
Because unfortunately people are similar everywhere. People here think they are smarter than right wingers because they believe different things, but they only believe different things because that's what they were taught/told to believe. A lot of them are also chronically online and desperately want somewhere to belong to; that's how cults form as well.
Put all that together and you have people defending an animal abuser just because he's politically aligned and the figure head of a community they belong to - cult.
Same. His name came out of nowhere for me, but I also live under a rock
He didn't do that
Yes, he did. It's blatantly obvious. Stop covering for an animal abuser just because you're aligned politically.
There's also this older moment:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FT8ucadGCVc
Except he didn't, the idea that he did has already been thoroughly debunked.
https://www.out.com/voices/straight-nonsense-hasan-piker-s-dog-collar
You don't have to be it with me, but be intellectually honest with yourself for just a minute. Pretend we are talking about a right wing influencer.
You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but with tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times.
Would you still defend the guy? Be honest with yourself.
Even if you don't want to believe he uses a shock collar, his treatment of her is still deplorable. He keeps the dog as a prop on Stream for hours on end. When she moves out of bed he will throw a hissy fit. He has even complained about her roaming around "like a cow". He only started letting her be more free after the controversy started. His guests have even mentioned her collar being too tight in the past.
Stop defending this dude.
Edit: I'll also add this (older) video of him with his dog Fish:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FT8ucadGCVc
That is something he did blatantly on camera.
Kya (I believe that's her name) yelped because she clipped her paw on something, there was no shock.
As for the Fish video, yeah he shouldn't have pulled the dog's tail, but he clearly didn't hurt him since the dog didn't yelp or anything.
Just because a dog does not yelp that doesn't make ok nor should we down play it. Excuse while I grab and pull my gf by the arm, slap her even maybe, as long as she doesn't scream or cry it's ok...
Also, the claw thing is absolute bs. There are multiple moments which play out the exact same as that one, but where she doesn't yelp. She goes to move away/is standing off the bed; Hasan reaches behind the camera; she suddenly goes back to her spot. In some she moves as soon as she sees him moving his arm. What do you think is happening? Not to mention, after denying the use of an electric collar but refusing to show it, he later (on a different day) went on stream to show the collar and said it was "vibration only", but you can clearly see there's black tape on it over where the prongs would be.
So we know she's wearing an electrical collar, we know he is lying about it, we know there are more similar moments on stream, and we have the past history of Hasan pulling a dogs tail.... So why would you believe him about the claw? The only reason to believe it's the claw is because he said so. But we already know he is a liar, and showed complete disregard for her and didn't even check on her.
It’s kind of sad how much you’re in your feelings about him. Please find something better to do with your life.
Somehow that is even more sad.
But by all means continue to call people scum in this community. I’m sure that will work out great for you here.
