maybe i'm just too old for this shit but i don't understand the appeal of hasan or any of these twitch niggas at all
Schizo rant incoming. Prepare yourselves.
The appeal is due to I think, two things.
1) He's moderately attractive. Hasan and every other person who's "big" on twitch is big because they look good or are cracked at video games. Hasan's Gotham Knights with Jerma should show you all that you need on his skils as a gaymer. His influence is mostly due to him being attractive, and having dick sucking orbiters that agree with every dogshit take he has. There's a reason why "Spokesperson" is a legitimate job. People who look nice, who sound nice, etc can more easily convince someone of an argument or position than someone who's a 2/10 on looks or voice.
2) Dick sucking orbiters. Twitch is BUILT off of the very unhealthy parasocial nature of streaming. Go to any stream, ANY stream that has at least 15 or more viewers and you will see a community of people orbiting the streamer.
With small streamers, that community is built off of the streamer giving them the attention they always wanted. It's gotten to the point where they will recognize usernames and speak to them as friends. And when they treat them badly, it's a controversy. Look up "Wefoundthebody" if you wanna see what I mean. Or better yet,
here's a link from local monotone retard Critikal .
With big streamers, that small community transforms from individuals into a big hive mind blob that spams what the fuck ever. It could be anything. But it's a community nonetheless and with community comes camaraderie. People become tightknit in this and will support streamer through literally whatever issues may come. Be it small like the stream being audio only for 5 seconds or big like Logan Paul and his famous adventure in the Suicide Forest. For some genuine losers, this community is one of the only reasons to live. And if somebody attacks their streamer, they take it as an attack on them.
That's the appeal on twitch. You can find moderately attractive people to yank your meat to, if you're depraved, or you can find a community to assimilate into, if you're lonely.
