Stupid sexy Hasan

They're just mad because grindr went down

I’ve only ever heard of this guy because of people trying to backlash him.

Republican women right now

"Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he's also in great physical shape and rather attractive."

Weird flex, but ok.

This is such a wild disconnect, it's truly mind-blowing. Piker's reaction is pretty much what I'd expect. We all know how far gone these people are, that they live in this weird archaic unreality bubble. They didn't think this through, they sincerely thought this would be embarrassing for him. The right wing gerontocracy is so out of touch, its like they're from another planet

the Republican "I swear we're not secretly gay" convention.

The GOP has Hasan derangement syndrome…

What a terrible thing! How horrible! I wonder if this Hasan Piker person has been made aware? Has anyone put together a collection of these pictures... For him to acknowledge later?
... Is there a link? I mean, we need to bring.. erm.. justice and stuff to this... So like, if anyone has a collection....

Stupid sexy communists

I don't know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I've never heard one word from him, and don't even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I'm not even a Democrat.

As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:

Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)

Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them

Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we'll pay for it.

AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.

Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.

ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.

Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won't disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.

Health Care: What health care?

Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won't ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can't afford ANYTHING.

MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it's somehow legal?

The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.

Mass Surveillance: If you aren't doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What's illegal? EVERYTHING!

Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.

These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America's future.

why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention

Where the video?!? I wanna see the convention goers' reaction when it actually happened

EDIT

Found the video.

The convention is showing a montage video of clips and pics, in which they display his undie pic for 3 seconds, then the montage continues. There's no audible reaction from the crowd. The audience isn't visible here so we don't know if they physically reacted.

Exposed for being a hot beefcake. Very cool, very normal stuff from the Republicans.

Damn I didn't even know hasan was this built

I was going to comment that if I had a drop of the body I had before, I'd be posting those pictures too tbqh. But then I reminded myself of the body dysmorphia I gave myself to achieve that so nevermind lol

But good on Hasan for getting plastered on the jumbotron! He can't keep getting away with this /s

This is just Republicans way of showing they are interested. I believe it is called 'negging' in some circles.

Is Hasan single? Asking for a republican friend....

The Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, sparked an unexpected wave of online backlash and bewilderment on Wednesday after an image of progressive streamer Hasan Piker wearing underwear appeared on the venue’s massive jumbotron. While the move could’ve been an attempt by Republicans to attack Piker, it has nevertheless reignited certain allegations about the GOP, especially since the convention has once again coincided with the Grindr app crashing in Dallas from heavy usage.

they're trying to make blexas happen! https://t.co/rEwgtTnf7X

The photograph was included in a narrated video shown during the Republican midterm convention, where Piker was featured alongside other clips attacking progressive politics and figures on the left. Rather than simply mocking Piker, however, the decision to use the particular photograph quickly became the subject of jokes across social media.

Piker himself appeared stunned when he saw the footage during his livestream. After pulling up the video, he reacted with disbelief and joked about the image being displayed at what he called “Trumpapalooza.”

He later posted about the moment on his social media accounts, joking that Republicans might actually help his political side by giving him the exposure, writing that they were “trying to make blexas happen.” Piker has notably supported Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico in his Senate campaign against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

People online are mocking the GOP convention instead

The image also prompted a flood of reactions from online commenters who questioned why Republicans selected a photograph that, in their view, could make Piker look more appealing rather than less. “Why would they choose a picture that makes him look good?” one commenter asked.

Another wrote, “They want him so bad,” while another joked that Republicans were “watching Hasan’s thirst traps and sharing amongst themselves.” The jumbotron image also became the setup for a series of jokes about an apparent Grindr outage reported in Dallas around the time the convention began. One commenter wrote that it was “the down bad detector,” while another joked about the number of people who would have to be online for Grindr to crash in Dallas.

Some commenters focused on the decision to blur part of the photograph. “Are they blurring out his shorts because they’d otherwise go weak at the knees?” one person joked. Others simply described the stunt as strange. “Okay, this is getting too weird,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “Things are getting weird in Dallas.”

For many, the backlash has highlighted the unusual nature of the Republican convention. What appeared intended as an attack on one of the left’s prominent online personalities instead generated widespread discussion about the image itself, with many commenters arguing that the choice had unintentionally turned Piker into the center of attention.

What were they going to accomplish? Prove their not gay by sharing a picture of a biff moatly nude guy. "Look everyone, im not getting an erection while staring at his rippling pecs. See not gay." Proceeds to wipe sweat from forehead.

Exposed for being a stud, oh god the horror

Ah so that's why Grindr crashed

JFC. Last week, my therapist asked me if I knew who Hasan Piker was... it was surrreal... like the internet broke containment and entered real life.

I'm in therapy for stress and anger management... sometimes politics comes up. My therapist is a middle aged wine mom from the suburbs who literally has one of those "Coexist" bump stickers on her Toyota Prius. I told her I disagreed with him on some stuff, but that I'm probably not his audience. She told me she was watching more of his clips on YouTube. I didn't know what to say to that.

What does anyone care about a streamer?

Oh no what's he running for I guess I won't vote for him 😂

Holy fuck! He can get it!

The reaction of the average MAGA.
