His views have frequently put him at odds with other content creators such as GreekGodx, who he personally called out for spreading anti-vaccination conspiracy theories during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.He is an ardent supporter of universal healthcare and other progressive reforms, and attracts large left-leaning crowds to his streams, where he talks about current affairs. HasanAbi's critique of capitalism and capitalist talking points are no surprise to those who follow him. However, what surprised many of his fans was when clips showcasing his TikTok being used in a college class went viral on social media.Many joked about universities charging north of $10K in tuition fees per semester only to show clips in class that could have been viewed with or without subscribing to HasanAbi's Twitch channel.RCP_2001@RCP_2001@ostonox Imagine paying 10k a semester for tuition when you can get for 5 bucks or for free with a Twitch Prime309@ostonox Imagine paying 10k a semester for tuition when you can get for 5 bucks or for free with a Twitch PrimeA different clip was also circulated, posted by Twitter user 'Jacob Pincus. The caption of the tweet suggests that the class is from the University of South California School of Cinematic Arts:jacob pincus@pincusss@hasanthehun we are watching your tik toks at usc film school52945@hasanthehun we are watching your tik toks at usc film school https://t.co/M7kZTujVQRThe clip talks about business owners and their relational power over employees. The post received many other comments from people claiming to know the professor, who teaches a class on streaming and content creation.Brennan Murphy@brenonade@ostonox i actually know this professor &amp; class (it's a class that teaches the biz of streaming!), dm me if you'd ever want to do a guest lecture @ostonox4862@ostonox i actually know this professor &amp; class (it's a class that teaches the biz of streaming!), dm me if you'd ever want to do a guest lecture @ostonoxA reply to the tweet claimed that they were in the lecture where the clip is from and that the professor's name is Gordon, who offers classes about Twitch streamers. However, this was not one from that class:ZombieMoonlight@CalderSwiderski@brenonade @ostonox Actually no! I was in this lecture. I'm also in Gordon's streaming class. This class is a completely different one that he is teaching for the first time this semester. All Cinematic Arts students have to take it, it has nothing to do with his streaming class.79@brenonade @ostonox Actually no! I was in this lecture. I'm also in Gordon's streaming class.

It was merely from a montage of random videos that the professor showcases before ending their class.ZombieMoonlight@CalderSwiderski@ostonox @brenonade Visions of Diversity in Cinematic Arts.

He was mass-reported for talking about the BLM movement on the platform. As such, the streamer has been embroiled in a number of controversies over the years but seems to have done little to slow his growth on the platform.
