    I dont think saying “if Republicans cared about this issue, they’d kill Rick Scott” is a call to violence, but whatever Twitch, you gave Hasan a few days off that he probably needs and put a big spotlight on a sitting senator’s massive medicare fraud.

      If those words came out of the mouth of Elon, trump, or Joe rogan, there would be murder attempts within days. I guess that says more about Republicans than the content of the statement, but it’s definitely not a harmless thing.

      Though the fact that this is where they draw the line and not Hasan rebroadcasting terrorist propaganda is pretty telling.

              An entire softball interview with a terrorist was clipped out of context? Pull the other one.

              And bro, I already hate destiny and ethan, ad hom attacks won’t do much to change my mind or the fact that Hasan gave a terrorist a platform to talk about how cool his terrorist group is.

                Yeah, and he’s neither a houthi nor a terrorist.

                2:35:40 - 2:51:09

                Pull the other one

                No, your free to watch the whole video. I couldn’t care less about your clips. But framing a yemeni teenager as a terrorist is fucked up and untrue.

                  He cosplayed one so hard that Hasan himself thought he was a houthi, then talked about how cool it is being a houthi in the interview. Hasan propagandized terrorists.

                You can’t say you hate destiny, how deep you have to be in the fandom to know there is a wiki ? wtf, I mean your point would have been more accepted if it came with a normal source and not with a destiny link

            Well, I suppose if you’re an incredibly racist freak, and you define any Muslim with a gun as a terrorist, then — you’re still fucking wrong and just peddling the same racist, anti-historical nonsense that fascists have used to rationalize apartheid, ethnic cleansing and active genocide for decades.

    This ban is such horseshit since he didn’t suggest anyone should kill Rick Scott, or generally advocate for the killing of Rick Scott. But apparently just alluding to the killing of Rick Scott is problematic on twitch. Generally, I think there should be more discussion about this whole “kill Rick Scott“ issue, although I don’t think anyone should actually kill Rick Scott.

      Overtime, they will putt more pressure and eventually get rid of him. He’s one of the very few big left wing content creator and they can’t have this continue on.

      Twitch has been babying Piker for years. He’s violated their TOS so frequently that I’m surprised they didn’t give him a kiss on the forehead for this

      He’s a money-maker for Twitch, so I can’t imagine it’ll be more than a week. Two weeks if they’re actually mad at him.

    Basically any talk of it even condemning it or showing an example of republicans expressing violence can get you banned.

      I’ve seen him talk about how the USA accepted China’s “one China policy” (aka the notion that Taiwan is part of China) back when Nixon was president.
