THAT GOT HIM BANNED??? NOT THE ANIMAL ABUSE??
Hate the dude because you disagree with him (or are jealous of his looks or some shit), but the animal abuse stuff is so fucking dumb
looks like an animal abuser to me
What makes someone look like an animal abuser to you?
Well, being on video committing animal abuse, for one.

Have you ever had a dog (specifically a large breed) before?

Edit: fuck shock collars, btw. Hope the implication here is not that big dogs need them. See my reply below.

If your next point is that a shock collar is necessary to train a large dog, first of all you’re wrong about that. But let’s say it is. Do you think it’s ethical to “train” the dog to sit in the same spot on camera for hours on end, for streamer content? Because you’d be wrong there too. There is no defending Hasan’s treatment of his dog.

I’m sorry but the people who sell you those talking points are banking on the fact that you never watch Hasan’s stream. And it’s working !

It takes all of 5 minutes to go through his stream history and realize that the dog is only there a fraction of the time. It’s just living its dog life, sometimes coming on the cot, sometimes going off camera for a moment or an hour or two. The idea that he forces her to be on-screen for hours on end like some sort of decoration only makes sense if you never ever watch any of his content apart from pre-compiled “video evidence”. That is why when they compile said “video evidence” it will always be streams that are weeks or even months apart. They’ll edit together moments of him scolding/training the dog, with that occasional episode where she stayed in the cot for a couple hours, with some minute moment where it kinda sorta looks like he’s activating something off camera if you squint and look backwards into a scratched mirror.

It’s trivial to debunk but teenagers on social media love it and they will lap that shit right off the plate, even contributing with their own “evidence” and theories. They’ll trip over themselves trying to make the crime look as heinous as they can imagine, it’s normal it’s just a way to learn social codes through role-playing.
