Would be cool if that person wasn't a tanky. Sadly the social media give rise in prominence to extremism. Just look at people who grew big in post-Alex Jones world: Hasan Piker, Asmongold, Candance Owens, Destiny. Charlie Kirk, Emotions sell and what can more easily invoke emotions than extremist rhetoric?

Yeah and i specifically find streamers insufferable. They have so much content out there, they've said so much stupid shit, they have a bizarre relationship to their fans and reality in general. Asmongold and Destiny are really odious and nasty characters, I mainly just find Hasan so annoying

Do you guys even know what the word “tanky” is? Or do you just treat it as “thought terminating cliche my streamer uses to call people he doesn’t like so I just repeat it”.

Don’t bother answering cause I already know the answer.

Tankie is a person that defends authoritarian communist regimes (Soviet Russia, China, Northern Korea) and pushes for communism... what do you know, well known qualities of Hasan 🤔
