Probably the most significant thing asmon does is actually skim the chat, read aloud a random comment that is slyly asking a derogatory or embarrassing question, and he'll immediately answer the question in either a witty sarcasm or lean into it and say the worst thing possible and self-deprecate in a clever way. He's a pro at riffing., as though he's living an MST3K stream, and it's great for audience engagement. He'd also take suggestions for choices in games like Vampire Survivors, DRG Survivor or Ball X Pit.
Meanwhile the only thing Hasan is good for is 电动狗, "electric dog," he's a non-interactive lecturer unless you get him to crash out over a comment, usually about Kaya now.
Any time I've seen a clip of Hasan reading something from the stream chat, it's always with a flat, monotonous, totally disinterested voice. Like he feels entirely inconvenienced and bored having to actually interact with the fans who give him money. He reads the news the exact same way. The only time I've seen him animated and heard some kind of emotion in his voice, it's when he's ranting like a lunatic about something. Usually about how much he hates America/Americans/Republicans/Jews/Israel, or because he's excited about the prospect of the people he hates getting killed (kill Rick Scott, kill landlords, let the streets soak in their red Capitalist bloods, dude, etc.).
They want everyone to think they're something out of "Blade Runner",
Well, Blade Runner is probably the sci-fi movie closest to the reality of China, given how polluted and grimy LA is in that film, advertisements all over the place, factories and refineries intermingled with residential and commercial buildings and belching flames and toxins into the air.
He doesn't even listen to music, he admitted that once.
I always assumed Hasan has some kind of serious mental disorder on top of his clinical narcissism, but the fact that he doesn't enjoy music is another strong piece of evidence that he's some kind of sociopath or even a psychopath.
It's exactly like what Joyce Carol Oates said in her epic Tweet that got Elon Musk in a tailspin:
Hasan has no curiosity, no interior life. He shows no interests aside from himself, his cult of personality, and glazing commies. Someone else here tallied up the total time he spends in that damn chair on camera, and it was something like 90% of his waking life. How does that leave room for anything else aside from eating, and shitting?
He's a narcissist and is purely driven by being the center of attention, basking in the adoration of his fans and old lady urinalists thirsting after him as they write yet another dick-sucking OpEd about him. I've heard that his "office" where he streams everyday is the most decorated and well furnished room in his whole house, and that in videos where you see other parts of his house the rooms are pretty spartan. Not much decoration, bare minimum in furniture...just not much of anything to be found outside of his office. I mean, it's not like he can't afford to furnish his house. If I had his wealth you can be damn skippy that my house would be full of all kinds of cool shit, like neon signs on the wall, pinball machines, vintage jukeboxes, custom walk-in gun vault, custom furniture made from repurposed aircraft/automotive/motorcycle/military vehicle parts (like chairs made from surplus bomber or fighter jet seats, tables made from engine blocks or pieces of plane wings, couches made from the trunk of a vintage car, etc.), high end Hi-Fi sound system with turntable, music room with bases, guitars, amps, drums, etc. for my oldest kid and I to jam together, being able to let my kids decorate their rooms with whatever they want, however they want...part of the joy of home ownership is making the house uniquely yours, and the hardest part of personalizing a home is affording it. Yet here's this rich bitch loser with money to burn in a nearly 4000 square foot house that he only shares with his dog, and he leaves it practically bare except for the one room where he spends hours a day being an attention whore on the internet. I'd kill to have the money to do more to personalize my house. Privileged little pinhead doesn't appreciate what he has. What a boring loser.
