One of the things women learn about dating is to pay attention to how their suitor behaves with those whom they perceive as having an advantage over.
This includes wait staff, the family that they already have, and, of course, animals.
The reason for this is because any indication of abuse from a man would be a strong indication of the abuse a woman would look forward to if she were to enter into a committed relationship with him.
I bring this up because Hasan Piker, one of the biggest breadtubers, is now facing accusations of using a shock collar on his dog live on stream, for the mere crime of fidgeting.
Here’s the footage associated with the accusation:
As Hamas… I mean, Hasan… is talking about violence, his dog gets up, and begins to walk off. Hamas… uh, Hasan… begins to yell at the dog.
Even without the shock collar, this pisses me off. Dogs move around. That’s what they naturally do, and it comes as naturally for them as barking at squirrels. There’s nothing wrong with this. In fact, dog owners have a duty to frequently walk them. That’s a normal part of having a dog.
If you own a dog and don’t even allow it to be a dog, what are you even doing?
Notice how Hamas… You know what? I’m tired of correcting myself when I accidentally call Hasan “Hamas”. He’s a Hamas supporter, so the shoe fits. Let’s get comfortable with calling him “Hamas Piker”.
Notice how Hamas reaches for something just off-camera, then the dog lets out a loud yelp. Hamas’ motion is consistent with pressing a button on a remote device as the dog yelped.
In a subsequent video that Hamas made in his defense, he pointed out that the dog yelped because it clipped its paw on the edge of a table. But we can see the footage. At the instant the dog yelped, we saw its paws, and they were not being injured by anything.
In my opinion, shock collars should be banned, which they are in some countries. The idea of exercising precise control over a small animal with the threat of torture at any given instant is messed up.
And what upset Hamas so much that he yelled at his dog and zapped it? It wouldn’t sit still in-frame, like the good little set piece that he probably viewed it as.
Then, to drive the point home how messed up Hamas is, he then went on a rant about how spoiled the dog is, and how it wants to roam about the house. Like I said before, dogs need to move. Walking the dog is a thing for that reason. But apparently what Hamas thinks his dog needs instead is “structured, regimented” discipline so the poor thing would know to sit still so it wouldn’t ignite his peevishness.
This is the kind of thing that tends to be lethal to streaming careers. You might remember Rich of ReviewTechUSA, and how he fell off. His own daughter wanted to be put to bed while he was streaming. The right thing to do would have been to leave his chair empty in the time it took for him to do his duty as a parent, and his viewers would have understood, and may have even found it heartwarming.
But Rich was not a good dad. He shooed his daughter away, so he could keep right on streaming. This pissed off his viewers.
Of course, it doesn’t help his daughter that there’s footage of her dad floating around on the internet wherein he was playing with his own nipples because people were paying him to do so.
To get back to talking about Hamas, I doubt I would have otherwise remembered him in a few years. For one thing, because I’m already getting his name wrong. But also because I have blended memories of him and another streamer named Density… I mean, Destiny. Okay, maybe I’ll call him Density. Hamas and Density are functionally identical in that they are leftist ideologues and champagne socialists, both breadtubers that are practically indistinguishable and superfluous in respect to one another. It was as though they were identical clones, spit out of the same machine.
But now, Hamas has something that sets him apart, which makes him distinct from his ideological mitosis siblings, but the image of mistreating dogs is not a good look. He was better off being virtually indistinguishable from any other overpaid cheerleader for the left-wing violence machine.
If he’s your hero, then just what are you doing?
