For context: People are claiming that Hasan Piker shocked his dog with a shock collar on stream for basically no reason, and got very mad at him. He put out a video showing her collar for 0.001 seconds in the world's most awkward hand grip and saying it was clearly a vibration collar and his enemies are trying to ruin his life as they always do. People including myself are still suspicious.
I looked at the allegations in this video myself a little, and I won't swear to the model numbers or anything but it all sounds right to me. You may need to pause the video to look at his images, he scrolls past them irritatingly quickly. There does however definitely look to me to be tape on the back of that thing. This is from Hasan's explanation stream where he showed the collar:
Click to see the raw image and zoom it, and you'll see pretty clearly that most of the box is shiny dark black plastic with bright white highlights, and then there's a clear off-kilter rectangle of something that's matte dark grey instead, without much in the way of highlights. You can also see vague shadows of two little circular things that could be prong sockets covered by tape or could just be weird compression artifacts or something.
Here it is with contrast adjusted, IDK whether this makes it more or less clear:
You can see the rectangle of the tape, and then some kind of distortion at the top that might be a prong socket, and a pretty clear circular shape at the bottom that definitely looks like it could be one.
In another part of the video you can see that circular part under the tape even more clearly. Look between his fingers to see the clear circular shape, you can even see wrinkles in the tape around the circular protrusion:
Yes, I'm already aware that the Hasan stans will say I'm making all this up and it's not there and they don't see anything. Anyway, that's what it is. If I did my math right, those frames are from https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2586575954 and the timestamps are, respectively for the three images:
- 43:58.396
- 44:09.292
- 44:09.333
Somebody inform reddit, the drama must flow.
My guy, your level of investment in this seems unhealthy. It would make no sense for him to shock his dog for something she does every day on stream. There's no need to shock a dog that has been professionally trained at a school. You can look at any stream from any day and see Kaya get up and roam between the bed and the rest of the house. It makes no sense for him to shock her for something he allows her to do every day. It would make no sense to allow it for months before and after but to randomly shock that one time.
And you're literally just making guesses at what you see based on what you want to be true. The non-shock model clearly has something where you're looking, probably a battery indicator or power indicator. The level of hopeful guessing you're doing is weird. And you're not even trying to hide that you have a bone to pick, ngl that is kind of embarrassing.

I didn't have a bone to pick, but then people were still commenting to me about how I was absolutely out of my mind for thinking there was something amiss in these videos and insulting me and accusing me of being secretly in league with a multitude of "Hasan enemy" streamers I have barely heard of, two days after I posted the original video. And so I figured hey you know it's clear that you guys are into the idea of talking about this some more, sure, sounds good, let's talk.
I have ignored probably close to a dozen people messaging me to tell me... well, different varieties of what you just said, why it is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE that these detailed diagrams and photos and videos mean anything at all, because (reasons) (often boiling down to "it just doesn't make any sense, because that would be a horrifying thing for a person to do to a dog and there would be no reason for it").
Anyway, like I said, I'm happy to talk more about it if you would like to.
Ok well, as long as you're having fun
