    Literally who is saying that, I’m not sure if you’re supposed to be mocking me, doing a bit, being serious… Maybe I’m just too dumb to understand this epic own. If only there was a streamer to explain it to me.

      The reason you’re saying we shouldn’t critically support Hasan apply just as easily to some of the people Hexbear does support. My comment wasn’t saying, “Hasan is good actually,” only that the same logic that leads us to critically support Russia and Syria leads us to support Hasan.

      I took your comment directed to Hasan and applied it to Assad, then posted emojis to show the site’s implied endorsement of him.

      Another part of your comment was that Hasan just isn’t that important, just a streamer ect. But, in the current world he is functionally a journalist that reaches millions of people. Regardless, importance determines stakes, not position. Even if this situation is relatively petty, which is very arguable, the position we should take, critical support, is clear to me.
