Except it wasn’t a shock collar and she wasn’t even wearing that collar during the clip that started the outrage. I don’t like nor watch Hassan, but that’s bullshit.
Yeah I think Hasan handled the whole thing poorly, that combined with him constantly stereotyping anarchists and vegans to sacrificially throw under the bus have caused me to take a break from his stream for a bit due to bad taste in my mouth. But the whole issue itself was absolutely a manufactured character hit. Too many leftists demand heroes who are virtuous in every conceivable way and get outraged when they’re not, but people like that literally do not exist. Not a single person is like that. I’ll be back to watching Hasan in a bit because while he’s wrong a lot, he’s right a whole lot more. And the more viable left punditry becomes, the more leftist pundits we’ll get to push the social overton window back the other way.
He got mad at the dog for doing #1 most common thing that dogs do and then didn’t care when the dog seemed distressed. She was in fact forced to sit still as a camera prop - you know, most dog owners would check what stresses the dog out. It’s not even about the goddamn collar, it’s about how the living being is treated as a toy.
But what if Hasan responded with “umm, thank you for your concern, that was not what happened, but maybe it is true I shouldn’t lock the dog in a single small place” instead of calling people stupid for caring for his pet seemingly more than he does. He got resources to make the dog the happiest one in the city, but why would he even think about that.
It’s just upsetting, is all, all I want to see is that first shred of humility we never saw from him despite numerous fuckups, this case being different because it’s not about dumb internet things anymore, but an actual living creature
I’m going to try to be objective here and add perspective as a dog owner
after she yelped, he immediately froze and looked at her for a few seconds, during which nothing was visibly wrong and she showed no signs of distress. things like this happen with dogs, I’ve done the exact same thing countless times with my dogs behind me at my workstation for various reasons, some of which were random yelps.
with the situation determined to not be of immediate concern, you don’t need to go do a thorough review of the dog right away. you can do that a bit later. if the dog is hurt, they’ll show it.
do I think the effort that goes into keeping her on the cot is a little weird? yeah. but I don’t have experience with big dogs, and I don’t think it’s an issue to tell your dog to stay in their place rather than somewhere else in the room, they’ll be happy either way. my dog will get up off her bed and plop herself down under my rolling chair without me noticing, then freak out when I move because a tiny bit of fur got caught in the wheels, so I tell them to stay farther away or will slide them away from the chair
Okay, maybe that’s fair, but you can obviously see why the clip has upset people. Im tired of the topic, but what upsets me more is that Hasan defenders, and also he himself, use dismissal as the main tactic, and like, no, people are not stupid for having empathy, even when they got too much of it (If you think such a thing is possible). Dismissal also (obviously, as one of the favorite tools of abusers) makes people suspicious. Should people be suspicious in this particular case? I dunno, my point is that these are completely rational feelings to have
Anyway, I will try to avoid speaking more on the topic, doesn’t seem worth the time
That’s not what happened. Kiya was not shocked, he did check on her after, Kiya gets hours of daily exercise, and is allowed to come or go from her cot as she wants.
The timing couldn’t really have been worse for him, but I agree that it was probably just an unfortunate coincidence. I definitely would have physically walked over to my pets if they yelped like that, though.

I will not discuss this with someone named “keep on Stalin”, lmao, revisionism is y’all’s favorite sport
I literally just replied to you doing that
