Popular political streamer Hasan Piker is once again at the center of attention on twitch for defending his moderator Frogan after she made derogatory comments about fellow content creator Ludwig Ahgren.
It all started when Frogan, a mod for Hasan’s Twitch channel, insulted Ludwig calling him a “cracker” during one of her own live streams. When Hasan addressed the incident on stream, he stood by Frogan, framing it as a perfectly normal thing to say. This stance drew criticism from those who felt derogatory speech shouldn’t be tolerated, regardless of skin color.
Hasan and his moderators regularly campaign against hate speech and inequality on Twitch. As a progressive political commentator, Hasan’s defense of Frogan’s remarks seemed hypocritical to some. It also highlighted the immense influence top streamers have in shaping community standards and the example they set for fans.
Ludwig, known for his YouTube content, tends to avoid heavy political topics, and has been called out for this by other streamers like Destiny. This is not the first time HasanAbi has clashed with other creators over controversial issues. The streamer regularly finds himself in the center of rumours and speculations, such as over his countless relationships.
The Hasan-Frogan-Ludwig incident is just the latest example of how personal drama can collide with public personas streaming platforms like Twitch and Kick.
