Hasan Piker got that NYT write-up. Peter Coffin says it's an example of how people like him aren't a challenge to power and segues that into a criticism of Breadtube (mostly stating how neoliberalism's co-opting it slowly), which has been his thing to criticize for the past month or so at least (I don't follow him much). He and his crew make a blend of accurate and inaccurate (and usually pretentious) observations about how the left should be, how it should go beyond Breadtube, etc. Twitter people refuse to be normal and discussion breaks down into people arguing over tiny topics once the main topic's been lost in the haze of Twitter reposts and responses. Literally none of it's more useful or intelligent than stuff that's been said on Chapo.
peter coffin also used gamergate logic to implied the NYT write-up was payment from the journalist for sleeping with hasan and that she was an op in breadtube
Totally. Valid points that could be summarised much shorter, but if I have to here about the fucking 'fake girlfriend' thing one more time I'll fucking lose it. Coffin just cannot stop talking about it.
You should check out all the weird drama from before all his bread tube stuff, things about his girlfriend being made up and sockpuppeting as someone else? I only vaguely remember it but I remember it being really stupid
Oh thanks. I thought it was more complicated than that but never been on twitter so don't know how people argue there. Was expecting something more spicy but I can see how people's parasocial relationships can get in the way of criticism.
What is happening, not on social media and intend to keep it that way.

Oh haha, did he do that? I didn't see that. He makes some valid points sometimes but he's so far up his own ass that he ruins his own credibility.

Yeah, I can understand that, and I have sympathy, but it seems like a drum that just keeps getting beaten even when there's a tenuous link.
Peter has some great ideas, but their personality just grates on me a little.
