I have no doubt that Pokimane and LilyPichu approved the statement but backtracked IMMEDIATELY once Hasan saw it and threatened to give them the Charlie Cr1tikal treatment and have a meltdown on air calling them traitors for not getting the Hasan-approved narrative first.
It's wild how this dog incident is Hasan's true first taste of genuinely negative PR. He's spent the last 6-7~ years worshipping terrorists, the last two years spreading terrorist narratives and running propaganda for Hamas, Hezbollah, and any other anti-Western terrorist group active around Gaza, celebrated and given his full throated support to terrorist attacks targeting civilians like 9/11 and Oct 7th--this guy is the Los Angeles Twitch-approved spokesperson for Islamic terror, Pokimane and LilyPichu were completely 100% okay with every single thing this guy has ever said or done up until this point, but Hasan being an animal abuser on top of all of that is where they decide to take a
pause.
Not drop him or cancel the episode, just hold on to it and wait until the heat dies down and enough people forget to drop the episode and cash in on Hasan's dipshit fanbase. Meanwhile, whatever poor intern hit the "send" button is probably going to get fired by Pokimane so she can appease Hasan and stay within his clout circle.
By "restructure" she means fire anyone and everyone she can to try and save face with Hasan. Could be some fall guy, could be the whole team depending on how pissed Hasan is.
Funny how these fucking multi-
millionaires, who LARP as socialist revolutionaries, "fighting" for the rights of the working class by sitting down in their rooms and streaming for 4-6 hours a day always end up acting like the cold, calculating soulless businessmen they decry so often in their performative statements on stream and on Twitter.
Bernie Sanders said a few magic words back in 2016 and these people reflexively adopted the most obnoxious, ineffective form of leftism as their fucking lifestyle. As long as you virtue signal and say the right words, you don't have to actually back any of that up with action!
Pokimane pushes the blame ENTIRELY onto her staffers and takes no responsibility as the owner/manager of the production. She bungled a PR move (delaying the episode) with another (hastily made, poorly-thought out) PR move, which is very on brand for Pokimane and others in her level of the Twitch aristocracy.
