Ok, I'll ask: Who or what is a Hasan Piker? Why is it relevant?

    He's a twitch streamer with media training and leftist politics. He's been stepping up with his community to promote progressive challengers to the democratic establishment for the past 7-8 years, really making headway in the last 2-4. He's also Rupert Murdoch's current obsession, so every right leaning network in the English speaking world is obsessed with him right now.

    He's a commentator and he's on the left. He has said nice things about China and calls himself a Marxist. He also has a scary foreign name, so he's basically the perfect bogeyman to tie the entire left to.

    First time I saw him was about 5-6 years ago. He was role playing on Nopixel. He now does political stuff.

    Just another asshat social media celebrity. I think he tried to seduce kids by playing minecraft or something. Most of them seem to do that.

    I'm not a Hasan Piker follower but what the fuck kind of comment is this? "I think I heard he's a pedophile because he played the most popular game ever and also most streamers seem to be pedophiles"

    Don't you think that's an accusation that necessitates a source?

    Wait, he actually played it? I was just making fun of streamers in general.
