I watched the video of the abuse happening on stream.

You watched a clip of Hasan's dog catching her dewclaw on the edge of her bed and yelping, and Hasan being kind of rude about it because he was in the middle of a heated rant. You only think he used a shock collar because a bunch of drama slop-tubers made 'analysis' videos claiming to prove that he did with about the same rigor as right-wing 'transvestigators' claiming every school shooter is trans.

Hon, this situation is literally the exact definition of virtue signaling. You care more about expressing how against animal abuse you are, over the actual facts of what happened. Which is the same reason I call it proto-veganism. You're misusing the language of animal welfare advocates to instead be loud about one particular pet issue. (Pun intended 😉)

Look sis, if all you're asserting is that the video looked like abuse and all explanations to the contrary are baseless from biased parties, then there is very little I can say to convince you otherwise. I'm sure you think I'm a Hasan lover, when I truth I can't stand the man. His whole dude bro yelling style stresses me the fuck out, agree with his politics, but I NEVER watch his stream. Don't even have a twitch account.

So instead of going through all the points/counterpoints of this conspiracy can I just ask you to occams razor this? Is it more likely Hasan has secretly been shocking her for years, taping over prongs when accused and gaslighting everyone who comes to his house? Or that she bumps her paw against the bed, which you can clearly see in the video, and yelps at the same time Hasan reaches for something on his desk?

Look, you can make a tinfoil hat about anything you want. No one could stop you. But fundamentally, with all of the racist, sexist and transphobic shit happening in the US, is putting your energy towards Hasans dog really a good use of time? Even in the scope of animal abuse, this is nothing compared to the daily abuse of the meat and dairy industries.

Hasan was banned for correctly criticizing zionism and Israeli genocide, I truly don't understand why you're talking about a dog instead.

There is no video of abuse. You’re a moron who believes whatever narrative someone spins up for you. Get lost.

Have you ever had a dog (specifically a large breed) before?

Edit: fuck shock collars, btw. Hope the implication here is not that big dogs need them. See my reply below.

You’ll never agree on every issue, but you can always agree on at least one issue

Which is why he shouldn't do whataboutism purity testing in a thread about Zionist censorship?

You're missing their point. Two things we know about Hasan:

1. He's an influential and outspoken critic of human rights abuses, which has made him a target of the people/institutions responsible
2. He might have used a shock collar to train his dog which he might have used on stream

Even if the latter is true, giving more weight to it than the former seems pretty disproportionate (imo).

As a vegan I abhor violence toward animals (and humans) and was dismayed when I saw the original clip. But after being absolutely pummelled with bs outrage "analysis" videos, to me it became clear that there was a coordinated campaign being waged to smear him, very likely from those whose abuses he criticizes.

If he uses a shock collar to train his dog, I do not like that. Ultimately, my conclusion though is that I do know that he has consistenty taken a stand against fascism, and to me it is clear which of those has more substance.
