Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker continues to double down on his opinion of the usage of "cracker," which has been an ongoing topic of debate for the past few days.

During a recent stream, HasanAbi claimed to have been called a "cracker" more than anyone in his Twitch chat since the beginning of the term's discourse. He also claimed that people using the word are "blowing off steam," a sentiment which was not shared by users of the Livestream Fail subreddit.

HasanAbi pushes ahead with "cracker" discourse

Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker's streams have been completely occupied with discussion and debate over the use of the word "cracker," regarding whether it can be considered a slur or not. The discourse began after two of HasanAbi's moderators were banned by Twitch after using the word while he was streaming MasterChef US.

HasanAbi claimed that the word "cracker" had been used against him, more than anyone upset about the supposed slur. In a clip that has since been deleted by Twitch, Piker stated the following:

"I've been called a cracker more times than every single one of you f***ing pasty little cracker b***ches in my chat, okay? Let's be f***ing real for a second, okay Mr. Alabama?"

He continued,

"I've been called a cracker a f***-load more than you. Why? Because I'm extremely online, okay? So shut the f*** up. Stop crying about this f***ing term, okay? Recognize the person whose calling you a f***ing cracker is literally powerless, okay? Sorry, it's just the truth."

HasanAbi then made the following claim:

"A person calling you a f***ing cracker is powerless. They're doing it as someone who's been historically oppressed, blowing off steam, okay? You can say that that's infantilizing or whatever the f***, but that's truly the reality."
