Hasan Lambasts xQc

Popular internet stars Felix “xQc,” Hasan “HasanAbi,” and Imane “Pokimane” gathered to discuss Twitch and Kick on June 21, 2023.

An exchange between xQc and HasanAbi that got somewhat heated during the livestream has subsequently gone popular on Reddit. It all began when the latter mentioned Ethan Klein of H3H3 Productions, who had allegedly pushed a mobile game containing loot boxes in the past. The scenario was “inherently worse,” according to xQc, than encouraging gambling, he continued. HasanAbi was singled out by the streamer, who said that because he was close to Klein, HasanAbi had refrained from bringing up the subject. He also remembered the incident in which Tyler “Trainwreckstv” was retaliated against by Matthew “Mizkif” over a cryptocurrency venture named Joltcoint. 

After hearing this, HasanAbi did not hold back in his criticism of xQc, claiming that Kick ambassador Trainwreckstv had impacted his views and arguments. He stated: “Okay, I wasn’t saying that you are Trainwashed or you’re Train-posting beforehand. I was saying your arguments resembled Train’s. Now, I’m saying it. You’re f**king Trainwashed, brother! Who the f**k talked about Joltcoin or Mizkif or any number of things? Now, I’m saying it. You’re f**king – you are schizo! You’re behaving schizo as f**k right now!” 

HasanAbi talked about a discussion he had with Ethan Klein about the advertising of gambling-related content some time ago near the five-hour mark of his livestream. xQc reacted angrily after hearing what he had to say: “Ethan… old fossil guy! Holy f**k! He is f**king balder, took a loot box scam from his viewers, which is inherently worse! F**king bald Andy! And, have you ever bought that up? Have you ever talked about it? Have you ever debated about it? I’m sure…”

HasanAbi originally questioned the streamer’s identity. The Turkish-American star said: “After realising he was talking to the host of the H3H3 Podcast: “Who’s that? Who’s he talking about? I don’t even know what the f**k he is talking about. Wait, Ethan? Ethan is literally the least bald motherf**ker on the planet. What the are you talking about? Are you mistaking him for someone else? His hairline is literally, like, down to his f**king eyebrows.”

HasanAbi questioned xQc’s assertion that Klien was a “60-year-old” personality and pressed him to specify which loot box controversy he was referring to. The former Overwatch professional subsequently requested information regarding it from his audience. In response to this, Pokimane said: “Oh, so you’re not sure! The mobile thing?” 

A little while afterwards, xQc showed a manipulated photograph of Klein and said: “Bro, listen. You brought him up. I’m just saying. It’s because you used him as an example. He’s not clean on that department. Oh, s**t! I like that. Look at that, you can put money up in some chest. Look at that (the streamer plays a four-year-old YouTube video of a mobile game featuring Ethan Klein). Ethan, was that your boy? Is that him? Is that your boy right there?” 

His arguments astounded Pokimane, who said: “You’re comparing all sorts of things. Like, chests and gambling. This and that to the worse of the worse – Stake crypto unregulated…” However, the Quebec native continued to make his point, saying: “You bring… okay, and then have you talked about it? It’s like, you don’t care because he’s your friend. But it seems like you, back in the days (the streamer’s audio cuts out)…”

HasanAbi was shocked to hear this and responded: “No, I have never talked about it because I had no f**king idea, Felix! Why the f**k would I… it’s a f**king mobile game loot box from four years ago. How the f**k am I supposed to know every single thing that this man has done? He has also said the N-word with a hard-r, and he very openly has apologized for it, multiple f**king times. It’s, like, bringing that s**t up!”

At this point, xQc emphasised how Mizkif mentioned Joltcoin, a cryptocurrency project created by Trainwreckstv, during the significant debate that occurred last year. Then, according to Pokimane, “whataboutism” had “gone really far.” HasanAbi proceeded to accuse xQc of being “Trainwashed” throughout the tense discussion.
