    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.

            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.

              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.

                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

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

                2:35:40 - 2:51:09

                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.

    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.

      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.
