Don't get it twisted, Hasan is rattled.
On his recent streams Hasan seems to be taking an approach of gaslighting his audience/supporters into thinking the content nuke is a fat L for Ethan. He's been hitting back with a lot of personal insults regarding Ethan being emotional/crying (toxic masculinity much?) and insulting his age and the fact he has kids (projecting insecurity much?) and associating him with Destiny (despite zero evidence of that). He's been doing this all while not actually watching the video on stream.
I think a big reason Hasan started covering Destiny more in the last few months (considering he almost banned all discussion on him) has been with the malicious intent to use him as a proxy to attack Ethan and prime his audience to hate Ethan even more. This way Hasan could say shit about how he hopes Ethan "gets better" and that he "finds happiness" while also preparing for the nuke to drop.
He initially went from being unbothered and saying it's got "bad reviews" to these unhinged rants throwing any shit he can at the wall. I don't think it's actually working that well and just makes it seem like he's "crashing out".
It's very clearly got him rattled and (my speculation) it's definitely having consequences behind the scenes that we don't know about yet.
Collateral damage is already hitting his orbiters like the more extreme lefties and also reaching more normie collaborators like Ludwig. Not to mention that he's in Japan rn with other creators who are probably now a little bit uncomfortable doing content with him while this is happening so it's probably completely killed the vibe of his trip.
Rant over but just wanted to get it all out there and in fairness to the mods if you delete all this I wouldn't hold it against you ✌️❤️
