They're just mad because grindr went down

Stupid sexy Hasan

What a terrible thing! How horrible! I wonder if this Hasan Piker person has been made aware? Has anyone put together a collection of these pictures... For him to acknowledge later?
... Is there a link? I mean, we need to bring.. erm.. justice and stuff to this... So like, if anyone has a collection....

I was going to comment that if I had a drop of the body I had before, I'd be posting those pictures too tbqh. But then I reminded myself of the body dysmorphia I gave myself to achieve that so nevermind lol

But good on Hasan for getting plastered on the jumbotron! He can't keep getting away with this /s

lol this is so great

Actually, this is a video of him responding live

for the record, my initial reaction was 'that's not an ad for grindr?'

MAGAts love this kind of stuff.

Nice cum gutters

Where the video?!? I wanna see the convention goers' reaction when it actually happened

EDIT

Found the video.

The convention is showing a montage video of clips and pics, in which they display his undie pic for 3 seconds, then the montage continues. There's no audible reaction from the crowd. The audience isn't visible here so we don't know if they physically reacted.

What were they going to accomplish? Prove their not gay by sharing a picture of a biff moatly nude guy. "Look everyone, im not getting an erection while staring at his rippling pecs. See not gay." Proceeds to wipe sweat from forehead.

This is just Republicans way of showing they are interested. I believe it is called 'negging' in some circles.

I’ve only ever heard of this guy because of people trying to backlash him.

This is such a wild disconnect, it's truly mind-blowing. Piker's reaction is pretty much what I'd expect. We all know how far gone these people are, that they live in this weird archaic unreality bubble. They didn't think this through, they sincerely thought this would be embarrassing for him. The right wing gerontocracy is so out of touch, its like they're from another planet

Republican women right now

Oh no what's he running for I guess I won't vote for him 😂

We need to know the exact time they crashed grindr's servers.

Same. His name came out of nowhere for me, but I also live under a rock

Not just Republican women.

Holy fuck! He can get it!

Fine. Also Democratic Women

What a horrible website

The Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, sparked an unexpected wave of online backlash and bewilderment on Wednesday after an image of progressive streamer Hasan Piker wearing underwear appeared on the venue’s massive jumbotron. While the move could’ve been an attempt by Republicans to attack Piker, it has nevertheless reignited certain allegations about the GOP, especially since the convention has once again coincided with the Grindr app crashing in Dallas from heavy usage.

they're trying to make blexas happen! https://t.co/rEwgtTnf7X

The photograph was included in a narrated video shown during the Republican midterm convention, where Piker was featured alongside other clips attacking progressive politics and figures on the left. Rather than simply mocking Piker, however, the decision to use the particular photograph quickly became the subject of jokes across social media.

Piker himself appeared stunned when he saw the footage during his livestream. After pulling up the video, he reacted with disbelief and joked about the image being displayed at what he called “Trumpapalooza.”

He later posted about the moment on his social media accounts, joking that Republicans might actually help his political side by giving him the exposure, writing that they were “trying to make blexas happen.” Piker has notably supported Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico in his Senate campaign against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

People online are mocking the GOP convention instead

The image also prompted a flood of reactions from online commenters who questioned why Republicans selected a photograph that, in their view, could make Piker look more appealing rather than less. “Why would they choose a picture that makes him look good?” one commenter asked.

Another wrote, “They want him so bad,” while another joked that Republicans were “watching Hasan’s thirst traps and sharing amongst themselves.” The jumbotron image also became the setup for a series of jokes about an apparent Grindr outage reported in Dallas around the time the convention began. One commenter wrote that it was “the down bad detector,” while another joked about the number of people who would have to be online for Grindr to crash in Dallas.

Some commenters focused on the decision to blur part of the photograph. “Are they blurring out his shorts because they’d otherwise go weak at the knees?” one person joked. Others simply described the stunt as strange. “Okay, this is getting too weird,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “Things are getting weird in Dallas.”

For many, the backlash has highlighted the unusual nature of the Republican convention. What appeared intended as an attack on one of the left’s prominent online personalities instead generated widespread discussion about the image itself, with many commenters arguing that the choice had unintentionally turned Piker into the center of attention.

Republican Convention Men: "The site I use to find people to go down went down!"

Embarrassing for him? I am an old, straight male who has no idea who this person was but when I came across the post on BlueSky this morning talking about it my first thought was "well fuck, I wish I looked like this".

I can only presume that they secretly want to fuck him but don't know how else to approach him. Dumb fucks.

To go down on*

Either one

What does anyone care about a streamer?

the Republican "I swear we're not secretly gay" convention.

It's a distraction, like literally everything else. He represents a vocal fraction of functional leftists who are successfully infiltrating the DNC so everyone's pissed because the people he promotes are generally more policy focused and actually grass roots politicians who appear, for the time being, to actually be dedicated to some kind of reform and actually have the momentum to achieve it in a reasonable timeframe.

So nowthe GOP is pissed because they aren't the only populists, the DNC is pissed because they might actually have to put in effort to get any electoral power, and the leftists are pissed because literally nothing can make them happy, and at the cemter of it all is a succeasful, rich, 6'5" himbo who streams 8 hours a day and has consistent messaging that might actually end up meaning something long term. Real easy target.

I discovered him when they tried to pretend he was zapping his dog on stream. It was an interesting sequence because apparently they targeted people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything.

Obviously they found a large audience, but hey Hasan gained a follower I guess.

Damn I didn't even know hasan was this built

This literally did not happen.

His reaction made me lol

“THEY PUT THE MEAT PIC ON THE JUMBOTRON?!?”

The GOP has Hasan derangement syndrome…

Is Hasan single? Asking for a republican friend....

Glad it’s working for you, though.

Glad it worked for you

covering for trumps mishaps most likely.

his fans seems to think he is hot? they more than likely saw his half nekkid pic at some point. he does have a large female following.

I'd only alter this saying "the GOP's" mishaps because never forget that they facilitated this absolute clownshow shitatorship.

He's 6'5" and is an avid... well he's not a bodybuilder and he's not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It's a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.

He didn't do that

Stupid sexy communists

I can only presume that they secretly want to fuck him but don't know how else to approach him.

yes, that's why Grindr went down at the same time.

Dumb fucks.

yes, and yet so many voters

Boo Yah That'll show those puny libtards?????

(said in a verbalism of confusion and aggravation in order to invoke the ill conceived discourse)

Jokes aside Hasan Piker is actually a immensely sexy dude.

I'd smash!

That’s how their entire canceled culture works.

The book bans are just lists of books that none of them have read too.
