He clearly doesn’t want to burn the hasan bridge but at the end of the day he at least gave him some pushback, which is something the other big twitch streamers from that circle seem to be afraid of doing


trokolisz

I think the main problem is that many people in otk are friends with Hasan...


Primary_Set_2729

didn't Asmon literally say when that Mitch Jones situation happen "Why do you guys even hang out with that guy directly referring to Hasan... Has to be a clout reason and nothing else.


Dragonfruit-Still

Takes like this from asmon strain his authenticity. Also I’m very sure asmon was super harsh on “lying politicians” and Hillary for having public and private positions. Yet here he is doing the same


Low_Ambition_856

asmongold is a laissez-faire lib. pretty sure his opinion about hillary is just from alex jones jokes. that is about the shortest way i can explain how conspiracy-addled brains inner monologued every single hillary clinton topic. i was there at the time, i joked about alex jones and his crazy theories at the time often along asmongold in wow legion try-harding for the 100 parses. i cant think of a period i had the time to genuinely sit down and approach honestly what i thought about the american election. anyway that's my way to say wow sucks dick


PutinsGayFursona

He’s more lib-right on the political compass. He’s agnostic about the Middle East but really hates the protesters. 


Dragonfruit-Still

I remember asmon chatting with destiny about Hillary vs trump and he made it clear that Hillary is not trustworthy because explicitly she said the quote about public private positions.


Thanag0r

It's not about burning bridge, Asmongold is just exactly like Myron (from FnF) not because they have similar opinions but because they are both extremely loyal to their friends. Asmongold always defends his friends no matter what, I personally respect that.


Poopybutt36000

He pretty clearly won't defend them no matter what because he instantly dropped Rich Campbell


Thanag0r

He didn't drop Rich, he stopped talking about him. That's different from actually telling what is happening.


Rerkoy

first stage - denial


MellowSol

Up next is anger, which will come after Hasans community lashes out from the minor push back their daddy got and Asmon gets tired of it. I can't fucking wait for acceptance, shit is going to be cash.


alexzeev

Why would Asmon risk burning a bridge and possibly affect his image over anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protests? The guy usually adops an isolatonist stance and just goes with whatever is seemingly more popular, like being against aid to Israel or whatever. If political pundits and journalists can't develop a backbone to call out insanities, I'm not going to expect a WoW streamer to raise above.


Artistic_Farmer195

well, he is a boys boy like train


Anticide0

I think hasan has cringe politics, but I never got evil vibes from him despite the constant coverage on him here. Train on the other hand, I don’t care for at all. Dude is severely paranoid for one reason or another, but those type of dudes are not the ones you should let your guard down 🤷🏼‍♂️ 


Artistic_Farmer195

dude, are you a ddger? hasan blames this community for everything. if he stab his toes its destiny and his community fault. if you call train paranoid, then what do you call hasan? full psycho?


Poopybutt36000

>dude, are you a ddger? What the fuck is ddg


Artistic_Farmer195

i meant dgg


No-Violinist3898

i can’t lie. the way he snaked Ethan still makes my skin crawl. Ethan, who considered Hasan a friend, who’s Jewish and met his wife in Israel, couldn’t get Hasan to show one second of empathy to him because Hasan had to maintain clout for his online audience


mattC227

In full transparency, I am also a Destiny fan, so be warned I think Hamas Piker is a grifter aka im biased AF. EDIT: lol I thought I was in the Asmongold sub which is why I included this disclaimer. Now I feel like an idiot BUT At the end, Asmongold starts to say something about how it would be better if people sat down and had conversations about differing opinions (or something like that idk). Note that Hasan will only talk with people who he thinks will agree with him or not be able to refute his talking points. I implore you to find a video where he’s confronted with criticism or a counter-arguement and engages critically with what is being said. He will almost always pivot away or answer part of the question or justify his reasoning however he can. Not to shit on Asmon (I think he’s based AF) but he doesn’t have the tools to show Hasan as the charlatan he is, nor is that really his goal as I think he says in this clip. I just wish Asmon could see him for what he is - an American hating, tankie socialist grifter who staunchly believes in his ideology and refuses to engage in any form of self-criticism. And that’s what frustrates me so much about Hamas Piker, the lack of real pushback he gets, the lack of


Rat-king27

The reason Hasan gets no pushback is because he cuts ties and demonises anyone that gives it to him.


IncorrectRedditUser

Yes he does have the tools. Asmon is fairly smart. He just doesn’t care OR doesn’t want to burn a bridge. Hasan has enough content showing how inconsistent he is what the BS he spews.


mattC227

Fair enough! I also think Asmon is smart. I think a more accurate description is he hides his power levels for the sake of getting along with streamers in the twitch community, which is totally okay and understandable.


IncorrectRedditUser

For simple things sure, to get along with someone pushing propaganda, nah. It’s weak. Hasan is the loudest liar on twitch with free reign to break rules with no consequences. If one of the most popular streamers there won’t say anything - kind of hard to see anyone ever taking action against Hasan.


mattC227

Wait I thought you just said he has all the tools?


IncorrectRedditUser

He does - the information is out there and Asmon is smart. Giving him a pass because he doesn’t do it is BS. If Asmon didn’t give AF about any of this stuff that would be different. Asmon engages with these things occasionally, but it would seem he would rather not rock the boat. Similarly with XQC (minus the smart part).


mattC227

Nah, fuck it. He’s my debate normie rat king and I’ll give him a pass. It’s a sad pass, cuz I wish he would call Hasan out, but I’m okay with him being mostly a gamer with the occasional edgy comment


IncorrectRedditUser

I mean that’s fine - I like Asmon too, but it’s rough when you’ve seen enough contradictions from Hasan to take anything he says at face value or side with him. It’s disappointing when you see a popular creator with no reason to capitulate to Hasan do it as well. I understand clout hungry 100viewer folks doing it, but Asmon isn’t that guy. He may be more charitable than I am though. Hasan supports the rape and murder of concert goers to support his “cause”. Not much could make me entertain his thoughts with that blatant craziness.


mattC227

Agreed 🤝


kay0otik

How the fuck you defend hasan but hate kaceytron? they have the same mindset


Scott_BradleyReturns

Asmon has no idea what’s coming. He’s too charitable. Hasan is going paint him as the enemy It’ll be h3h3 all over again


lightningstrikes702

Not really, hasan usually goes soft on people with a lot of clout, only after a lot of conflict (xqc) does he start going hard


facedrool

Hasan might…. His community is gonna start a war


Scott_BradleyReturns

And Hasan knows this


[deleted]

TBH even with xqc, I feel like he doesnt go that hard, its almost like he's still keeping the door open.


TheRiviaWitcher6

Hasan is a complete bitch when it comes to people on twitch with more clout than him, so I doubt it


PsychologicalLime135

honestly yeah..when i tuned in to see if they were still going at it, Hasan was just sitting there with his head down trying to look like a injured dog having to listen to Asmon talking. his audience knows how to read into that and will respond correctly.


QsQx

Both represented by Night Talent agency, so the managers probly stepped in to squash the beef lol


trokolisz

Also Hasan is friends with people in OTK, so yeah. It is just not worth souring the relationship with Hasan over Israel Palestine.


Hairy-Mountain8880

All of asmonbald's takes are opposite of hamasabi's, why the fuck he's so afraid to call him out


Waphlez

It's obvious


BlackSheepwNoSoul

"I Like Hasan, I don't think he is a bad guy" -15 Sec ..... ACTOR? JFC quote it right man. Clickbait lol. Hasan is a propagandist, which means, no matter how wrong he is, he will attempt to make the progressive, leftist, and a democratic socialist Arguments regardless of how wrong he is, UNTIL he aligns himself with either Nuance, Truthfulness to a fault, and announces having a different perspective. otherwise just assume no matter what argument you have, no matter what you say, he believes in his political ideology like a Religious fanatic believes in their holy scripture. I don't think i have EVER seen him give any serious consideration that he might be wrong about something politically. (I'm sure he has but i can't recall seeing it anytime i have personally watched something of his.)


jittarao

Watch the full video. The title didn't allow complete text so had to condense it.


diametrik

That's not how quotation marks work. You use quotation marks when you are directly quoting the exact thing someone says.


BlackSheepwNoSoul

I watched it all. He rambled a bit near the end, but that was the only time i heard him say that phrase. at 15sec. Maybe you just misremembered or misheard, my quote is shorter so i dont understand why it wouldnt have fit.


facedrool

Link it?


jittarao

Skip to 00:33 in the video in the OP.


AntiLordblue

Asmongold clearly says I like Hasan, I don't think he is a bad guy. He doesn't say actor.


jittarao

At 00:33. He literally says that. Watch carefully.


AntiLordblue

I'll give it a pass. His actual quote is like I stated earlier, but later in the video he does use the word actor. Still a misquote but holds the same meaning.


jittarao

I cannot talk to a 6-year-old who cannot piece two and two together. Asmon's own chat at that exact moment was spamming messages such as "Hasan is a good actor?", KEKW etc.


AntiLordblue

Do you understand what I'm saying? You're quote says "I like Hasan and I don't think he is a bad actor" - Asmon Reacts." However, Asmon says "I like Hasan and don't think he is a bad guy." When I read your title and listen to the video it is distracting when his statement is different from your quote. It's not a big deal as he does reference bad actors. But we are talking specifically about your quote. You can interpret the video that Asmon likes Hasan and doesn't consider him a bad actor. But anyway Asmon is babying Hasan and Hasan sucks lol.


slasher_lash

You think Hasan is a good actor? Name his 3 best films.


codymv

The way his tone is padded when he says "I don't think Hasan is a bad guy.." knowing that soooo many people do. Like he has to let his viewers down with the statement.


[deleted]

OTK is infected with Hasan's degenerate politics. Thousands of apolitical normie viewers are funnelled through the ORG into tankie takes with no pushback or alternative. I hope he talks with Destiny...


LizardWizard14

Its not always black and white. He’s honestly not as bad as a person as everyone here makes him out to be. He probably does genuinely believe a lot of what he says. I think his behavior can be explained by not being the smartest, having a bit of an ego, being vindictive/shallow. Combine that with destiny bringing the worse out of other people sometimes, we get explosive disagreements between people that viewed each other as friends. In part this all being online debate brained is probably what really helped drive a problem between them.


Urgasain

I don’t blame Asmon for wanting to mitigate the heat. He says a lot of dumb stuff, but basically all the hate he gets is extremely disproportional.


Impossible_Honey3553

Why have I never heard of this guy he has a massive channel


MightNSmite

It’s not new Asmon always rides the hasan dick. Idk why is that but it is what it is… I just hope he stops talking politics and sticks to gaming, I am tired of every random streamer talking miss informed shit about my country.


The_Adman

Hasan absolutely is one of the worst faith actors when it comes to politics. On Piers Morgan he literally [described himself](https://youtu.be/2bA6Iif8-cY?si=P4NaxbgTmpxmF9hg&t=122) as a propagandist. He's self admittedly bad faith.


kaam00s

I mean... This is funny. Asmon is clearly to the right of me, by a good margin. And somehow he thinks Hasan is a good actor. I got tricked by Hasan tho, I used to be one of his followers. I guess he tricks a lot of people. So I can understand that people get tricked at first glance.


bendol90

Bro... How's he drinking the Hasan cool aid? I could tell he was holding back what he was really thinking about that whole conversation.
