Hollow Knight speedrunner BlueSR got pulled into streaming drama after addressing the ongoing Hasan Piker dog-shock controversy during a live world record attempt.
While attempting to set a new record, BlueSR’s chat flooded with messages about allegations that political streamer Hasan Piker shocked his dog with a remote-controlled collar. The speedrunner responded by dismissing the claims as “right-wing misinformation” and pointed to creators like Asmongold as sources spreading the narrative.
The timing made the moment particularly unusual. Most speedrunners avoid weighing in on unrelated controversies during high-stakes record attempts. BlueSR chose to engage anyway.
BlueSR is known in the Hollow Knight speedrunning community and is 19 years old. Some viewers noted his youth and suggested he reacted impulsively to chat spam while focused on a demanding run.
This whole thing shows how streamers face constant pressure from chat to comment on trending controversies in real time. Even during moments requiring intense focus like world record attempts, viewers push for hot takes on unrelated drama.
