Stupid sexy Hasan
They’re just mad because grindr went down
Republican Convention Men: “The site I use to find people to go down went down!”
This literally did not happen.
Glad it worked for you

Glad it’s working for you, though.
Do you know how downdetector works? It’s not actually detecting anything, it’s 100% based on user reports.
People are making false reports to troll, and you’re taking the bait hook, line, and sinker.
Mm.
Probably should have led with that.
I think you’re in denial.
Yes, I have been denying downdetector’s bullshit for coming on 20 years now because it’s been misleading people for that entire time.
Also, do you regularly use calling people gay as an insult? It’s a real shitbag homophobic move.
To be clear, I think you’re in denial about the GOP conventions regularly causing issues with Grindr and the level of closetted man-on-man action in the famously hypocritical and deflecting Republican party. I have no idea about your sexuality, don’t care what it is, and can’t deduce that from what you’re saying, but I’m concerned about your political affiliation.
Sure, buddy. GOP definitely doesn’t have lots of repressed gay and bi people in it, because no right wing person would ever act hypocritically. You go ahead and believe whatever you want to believe about the RNC and grindr. Sorry to have upset you.
You’re completely missing what I’m ranting about. Don’t use downdetector, it’s worse than useless.
“Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he’s also in great physical shape and rather attractive.”
Weird flex, but ok.
I’m guessing that’s why they are so hard on AOC. She is a woman, minority, smart and attractive. They are most upset about being attracted to her.
Republican women right nowNot just Republican women.
Fine. Also Democratic Women

(And all those straight Republican Grindr users)
The GOP has Hasan derangement syndrome…
In fairness, that’s basically everyone in political journalism right now.
Mainstream Democrats do too. They should just shut the fuck up about him
I’d say democrats do too. dude is a creep and has said some pretty horrible shit. why y’all want to tout him as the face of the movement is exactly why nothing will change.
Stupid sexy communists
why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention
It’s literally all they got
Grinder was down, so…
I’m legitimately not sure whether, as Hasan Piker, I’d feel more like I’d made it (to some extent you can judge a person by the quality of their enemies) or if I’d worry more about stochastic terrorism.
I’ve watched some of Hasan’s reactions to this, and it mostly just seems like he thinks the RNC is sad and obsessed with him. He doesn’t need their attention and he’s certainly not afraid of them
They doubled down on Islamophobia.
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…Actually, this is a video of him responding live
for the record, my initial reaction was ‘that’s not an ad for grindr?’
His reaction made me lol
“THEY PUT THE MEAT PIC ON THE JUMBOTRON?!?”
Exposed for being a hot beefcake. Very cool, very normal stuff from the Republicans.
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.

We need to know the exact time they crashed grindr’s servers.
Damn I didn’t even know hasan was this built
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.
Exposed for being a stud, oh god the horror
JFC. Last week, my therapist asked me if I knew who Hasan Piker was… it was surrreal… like the internet broke containment and entered real life.
I’m in therapy for stress and anger management… sometimes politics comes up. My therapist is a middle aged wine mom from the suburbs who literally has one of those “Coexist” bump stickers on her Toyota Prius. I told her I disagreed with him on some stuff, but that I’m probably not his audience. She told me she was watching more of his clips on YouTube. I didn’t know what to say to that.
The internet broke containment a decade ago my friend. The internet is real life now.
Most of the people in the White House are right wing internet trolls. We live in sad times.
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.
I love so much that they blurred the undies.
