Reddit is currently very mad at Hasan Piker because he seems to be abusing his dog (files.catbox.moe)

1 sure looks like him activating a shock collar because he doesn't want her allowed to do anything other than sit in one designated spot while he's doing his stream

2 is self-explanatory

I find it strange this story seems to be getting so much traction in the media. I first saw it on a Forbes article, and now PETA has made a statement.

Honestly, that part is almost certainly because he's pro-Palestinian, I think.

Oh well dude. This still looks horrible to me. I might tune into his stream at some completely random time, just to look into it and see what kinds of stuff he does when it's not being cherry picked to be the most easy-to-misconstrue-as-horrible things he's ever done in a full career of full time streaming, but this is honestly pretty cut and dried to me, and the impossible or self-contradictory things that his fans have been saying to try to justify it are not helping me to see it any different.

So you do understand how and why the hard right streamers and stans have a vested interest in killing his character?
Maybe that was "abuse", but clearly overblown when you see hardrighters advocating violence on leftists. Hell you even see fascist president deploying the military to oppress their political opponents...
I don't see the same mob mentality pushing back on them, or pushing back to a litteral elected official boasting about shooting their dog

Maybe that was “abuse”, but

It's a sign of how far we've fallen that no one else called you out on this. Abuse is not acceptable, there is no "but".

Yes it's not acceptable, if it's proven true (which is a debate in of itself). Of all the things to get outraged for, this ranks low in my priorities though.
