"I find this so f*cking strange": HasanAbi rants against Tweets about fatphobia
HasanAbi started streaming back in 2018 and has gradually risen to become one of the most popular streamers, with over 2.3 million followers on the purple platform. Pulling tens of thousands of concurrent viewers to his regular streams, the Turkish-American content creator has an extensive following all over social media.
As a leftist commentator, Piker is known to be quite liberal with his views on issues such as gun-control and vaccination policies, and his recent rant shed light on where he stands on the issue of fatphobia.
The streamer started going off at the said comment because it insinuated that a man had rejected a potential partner solely because she was obese. The respective tweet explained that every time he found that the woman was heavier, he would buzz and end that said date.
HasanAbi had strong feelings against this sentiment and vehemently opposed the insinuation. Calling it strange, he explained that attraction to certain body types is not equal to fatphobia.

"What are you supposed to do? Is he supposed to go on a date and live happily ever after with someone he is not physically attracted to? I find this so f*cking strange."
The streamer also tore into people who agreed with what he thought was a flawed reasoning and called them out on it.
"Because you don't do that, YOU do not do that. Anyone who f*cking says that they do that is f*cking lying. Okay? You don't do that. Maybe your preference is broader than someone else's. But that's crazy to say."
HasanAbi then gave an example of people being attracted to people such as Harry Styles, calling them hypocrites for deriding the man in question while themselves subscribing to conventional beauty standards.
"If I were to click on people's profiles that are like, 'Yes queen, you're right.' And see Harry Styles on there, I'm gonna lose my f*cking sh*t. Why? Do you like Harry Styles because he is unnattractive? No. You find him f*cking se*y. You wanna f*ck Harry Styles. You don't wanna f*ck the fat dude that's down the corner from you, that's also crunching numbers at your f*cking workplace."
