>implying he's actually sat down and read/watched it.the most baffling thing of him is his love of One Piece, a manga about a group of pirates motivated by love and camaraderie to seek adventure and to help anyone they can who asks for it, he LOOOOOVES Luffy, a character so empathetic (and stupid, ALL the points into wisdom, zero intellect) it boggles the mind, I never understood this obsession socopathic/evil people like Hasan or that Daddy0Five guy have with superheros/manga hero characters, they are NOTHING like these characters, its like he took the aspect of Luffy punching Royals and that was the only thing he liked.
Mind you, the Royal Luffy punched is a sliver spoon asshole who takes whatever he wants from anyone because of his wealth and station, aka someone very much like Hasan, obsessed with owning things.
Everything he does is to cultivate the image of himself that is simultaneously an "everyman"/"hip" but also a "free thinker", "kind and empathetic" but also "strong and stoic", "working class" but also "rich", with the final one – "rich" – being the only one he can pass off convincingly considering the carelessness flaunting his wealth, this all despite being an avowed socialist (Marx considered the extremely wealthy/bourgeoisie prone to if not intrinsically evil) so he essentially has to juggle and balance all these contradictions of self he's constructed over the years.
The dog thing is especially hard for him because it reveals a ton of his contradictions all in one and he's unable to bolster one without crumbling the other.
"Shock collars are based" = "stoic and strong"/"Free thinker"
"Animal cruelty is bad" = "kind and empathetic"/"everyman"
To be contradictory to prevailing opinion makes him come across as "insightful" to his fans, like he possesses some actual intelligence to go against the grain of what's considered "normal", but the prevailing opinion in this instance is: "Shocking your dog for leaving her 'spot' is bad."
Does he contradict this and show himself a "free thinker" but contradict his image of being "kind and empathetic", or does he agree but make a casualty of his "kind" image whilst also show him being susceptible to peer pressure and public opinion?
In this instance his only recourse was to lie and hope it'd work because it's spare any harm to his perceived image whilst also having favourable odds (as far as he was concerned) considering he has sycophants in Twitch leadership, Twitch's payroll, and in his chat. It thankfully backfired.
TLDR: "Has he actually consumed One Piece in any form?"
Answer: HAS HE FUCK.
He's one of the most astroturfed figures on the internet, both from the media/Twitch but also his own actions. Did he buy the Bleach swastica sword because he liked Bleach and anime, or because he needs to foster the image of having normal people likes and hobbies?
The most I'd be willing to concede he's watched of One Piece is the Netflix show on his second monitor at best.
