Twitch banned the popular streamer just after 8.17pm PST on Monday. The 30-year-old was watching clips on-stream for more than 40k viewers before ending the broadcast, which was when he was whacked with the ban.

Hasan has been embroiled in an ongoing debate surrounding the use of the word “cracker” during his Twitch streams. According to some of his fans, use of the world is a “hateful slur” that should be stopped. In response, Hasan said: “I’ve been called ‘cracker’ more times than every single one of you ****ing pasty little cracker *****es in my chat, okay?”

No official reason for the suspension has been revealed yet.

Hasan claims the ban is due to his use of the word “cracker”. He wrote: “Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. Anti-white racism for using the term ‘cracker’.”

The debate around use of the word “cracker” and whether it’s a racial slur was first sparked on December 12, when Hasan laughed off claims it was.

According to the star, there’s “no way” it’s a slur.

“Shut the **** up,” Piker said in response to someone telling him to stop using the word. “Stop crying about this ****ing term. Recognize the person who’s calling you a ****ing cracker is literally powerless. Sorry, it’s just the truth.

“They’re doing it as someone who has been historically oppressed, blowing off steam. You can see it’s infantilizing or whatever the ****, but that’s reality.”

Before his shock December ban hit, Hasan revealed that several of his long-term Twitch moderators had been indefinitely suspended for using the word “cracker” in his channel’s chat. The star hit out at Twitch for the decision, dubbing it both “insane” and unwarranted.

honest thoughts this won't matter when Hasan comes back lmao. literally every big streamer comes back like nothing happens. hell Sinatraa is doing relly really really well and he raped his girlfriend.

even if the word isn't as bad as the n word and such it's still technically a slur. But then again words like "redneck" and "crackhead" are slurs. I guess it just depends on the context. In this case Hasan used the word to describe a guys skin color to invalidate someone.

twitch pretty much encourages the use of words like this and racism towards blacks because the site doesn't have a good way of monitoring people. like hate raids are still a thing and whenever a black dude pops up there's always a couple of people emoting trihard.

Hasan also tried to bait myth into saying something he should t and that's pretty cringe dude. Hasan's whole thing is to make drama to make money and views and we are all failing for it.

This is the most civil conversation I've seen on this topic. Thanks for contributing guys.

Would you consider Hasan a grifter then?, I do think he believes in what he says even with his drama stirring. He's one of those guys thats always on 50 layers of irony, which makes his content come across as unintentionally ingenuine imo.
