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.

That was not my next point. It was not a shock collar, it was a big dog getting her dew claw caught on her bed and yelping. That’s it.

I’ve had big, clumsy dogs. They are always hurting themselves and knocking shit over with their awkward appendages.

I appreciate your measured response, but just parroting the Hasan defenders’ damage control narrative at me without anything else to back it up, is not at all convincing.

To be clear though, I think ICE supporters are rabid Zionists. Evangelical cult-religion fills their mind with Zionist propaganda, particularly concerning the so-called “end times” and Israel’s place in that sequence of events.

I just wish people would learn about these things from someone less shitty than Hasan. Cults of personality where thousand of rabid parasocial youths descend upon their hero’s perceived enemies with personal attacks at the slightest provocation are bad, no matter which way they lean politically.
