I don’t know if this is true or just hearsay but I did see someone on 4chan saying he was “based because he called trans women cringe”. I don’t know that this is true for a fact but I’m just putting it out there. I watch him occasionally but he definitely comes off apolitical (derogatory) but that might just be him being aware of the fan base

You mean Grubby or Hasan said this? Honestly I wouldn't be that surprised or either said it.

For the record, Hasan is very consistently pro-trans rights. I don't think there's ever been an issue.

Hasan is giving the chat baby's first transgender theory, which can veer into too simplistic of a view on the matter, but that's just cause he's not doing advanced transgender studies to his audience of dumb baby libs who need basic stuff like "due process is important even if you're a fucking white person" explained to them.

He is very pro-trans and the community has a very high percentage of trans people, unsurprisingly.

there was a long time ago (~2017). he learned, did better, got his shit together, and has been outspokenly pro-trans since.

Glad to hear he's made amends and had a clean record for 8 years

That was all grubby. I never investigated the claim so it might be false but if a 4chan user is saying they had a based take on trans people I took it at face value. I will be honest though that if that is true I still have a shameful likeness for his content. He’s arguably the biggest reason wc3 is still alive as it is and it’s been my favorite game since forever

Edit: also for all his faults Hasan definitely does not come off as apolitical lol

Grubby does the middle class liberal apolitical thing. I would not be surprised.
