YouTube streamer and political commentator Steven "Destiny" has suggested engaging in a debate with fellow streamer and political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi." These two content creators have previously clashed online and have engaged in debates. Additionally, their respective communities have frequently sparred with each other.

Recently, Destiny participated in a debate with conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro. During Destiny's live streams, fans noticed Hasan reacting to the debate and trolling him. Steven responded:

"'Hasan is roasting you hard, watching you debate.' Okay, listen, go watch him roast me. Have fun. You know, if Hasan wanted to debate me on any of this, tell him to shoot me a DM. I would argue about anything he wants."

Reacting to this, some r/LivestreamFail members added their queries, with one user highlighting the logistical challenge of the debate since Hasan streams on a platform where Destiny is currently banned:
