Hasan hit with third Twitch ban amid \u201ccracker\u201d controversy Twitch: HasanHasan Piker has been hit with a shock Twitch ban on December 13. The suspension is the popular streamer\u2019s third on the Amazon-owned platform, and is allegedly due to his use of the word \u201ccracker\u201d during streams. Twitch banned the popular streamer just after 8.17pm PST on Monday. The 30-year-old was watching clips on-stream for more than 40k viewers before ending the broadcast, which was when he was whacked with the ban. Hasan has been embroiled in an ongoing debate surrounding the use of the word \u201ccracker\u201d during his Twitch streams. According to some of his fans, use of the world is a \u201chateful slur\u201d that should be stopped. In response, Hasan said: \u201cI\u2019ve been called \u2018cracker\u2019 more times than every single one of you f**king pasty little cracker b****es in my chat, okay?\u201d No official reason for the suspension has been revealed yet. Hasan claims the ban is due to his use of the word \u201ccracker\u201d. He wrote: \u201cYes, it is exactly what you think it is. Anti-white racism for using the term \u2018cracker\u2019.\u201d yes. it is for exactly what you think it is. anti white racism for using the term \u201ccracker.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/5cukDRubze \u2014 hasanabi (@hasanthehun) December 14, 2021 The debate around use of the word \u201ccracker\u201d and whether it\u2019s a racial slur was first sparked on December 12, when Hasan laughed off claims it was. According to the star, there\u2019s \u201cno way\u201d it\u2019s a slur. \u201cShut the f**k up,\u201d Piker said in response to someone telling him to stop using the word. \u201cStop crying about this f**king term. Recognize the person who\u2019s calling you a f**king cracker is literally powerless. Sorry, it\u2019s just the truth. \u201cThey\u2019re doing it as someone who has been historically oppressed, blowing off steam. You can see it\u2019s infantilizing or whatever the f***k, but that\u2019s reality.\u201d Before his shock December ban hit, Hasan revealed that several of his long-term Twitch moderators had been indefinitely suspended for using the word \u201ccracker\u201d in his channel\u2019s chat. The star hit out at Twitch for the decision, dubbing it both \u201cinsane\u201d and unwarranted. \u201cAbsolutely insane Twitch banned two of my mods for using the word,\u201d he said. \u201cOne is black and the other brown. Does Twitch believe cracker is a slur?\u201d absolutely insane that twitch banned two of my mods for using the word cracker. one of is black and the other is brown. does twitch actually believe cracker is a slur? \u2014 hasanabi (@hasanthehun) December 11, 2021 Piker is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, boasting 1.6 million followers and regularly raking in more than 50k subscribers every month. Dexerto can confirm Hasan did not lose partner status over the ban. The 30-year-old has been no stranger to streaming controversies recently. Many of his broadcasts are dedicated to weighing in on political issues and Twitch dramas, including everything from Pokimane\u2019s \u201cblackface\u201d accusations, to the \u201cdrama farming\u201d saga, and more. In August, Hasan came under fire from a large pocket of Twitch fans for alleged \u201chypocrisy\u201d after buying himself a $2.74m mansion in Hollywood Hills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
