Mutahar, widely recognized as “SomeOrdinaryGamers,”is primarily known for his gameplay videos, technology commentary, and exploration of various internet trends. Although his main focus is gaming, he occasionally delves into political discussions, an arena where Hasan “HasanAbi,”a prominent Twitch streamer and vocal left-leaning political commentator, thrives. Recently, a conflict unfolded between the two on social media, captivating their respective audiences.
A Controversial Video Sparks Tension
The altercation began when Hasan shared a link to YouTuber Noah Samsen’s video, The YouTubers Who Backed a Genocide, praising it as “great”and urging his followers to watch it. The video’s thumbnail featured images of Mutahar alongside fellow content creators Ethan Klein and Destiny, which became a focal point of the ensuing debate.
Mutahar Defends His Position
In response, Mutahar retweeted Hasan’s endorsement of the video, taking the opportunity to defend himself against the accusations leveled at him. He criticized Hasan’s promotion by stating:
“I get watching other people’s videos is all you’re really good at, but try vetting out slander before promoting. I have never defended (or “backed”) the Israeli genocide on innocent Gazans. Never will I ever.”
HasanAbi’s Counterattack
Following this, Hasan fired back, asserting that Mutahar’s singular video addressing the Israel-Palestine conflict sensationalized the topic for a centrist audience. He also highlighted Mutahar’s support for Asmongold, a fellow streamer who faced backlash for comments made regarding the Middle Eastern conflict during a livestream.
“In your only video on Gaza, you admit to not knowing about politics, try to cover Israel/Palestine as drama slop for a centrist audience, defend Asmongold for [his] inferior cultures/genocide comment, then attack pro-Palestinian voices. So I guess you just wanted the ad revenue then.”
Commentary on Cultural Identity and Online Dynamics
Further complicating the exchange, Hasan shared a viral image depicting SomeOrdinaryGamers at Hajj, suggesting that Mutahar, given his Islamic roots, faces the same right-wing hostility he often engages with in his videos:
“Muta is a particularly insane case because he’s a victim of the same right-wing mobs he often farms in his videos. He literally left Twitter because of vicious racism – and here he is back again! Only to farm more!!! MF you went on Hajj! They hate you more than they hate me!!”
This commentary references Mutahar’s previous departure from Twitter in August 2024, where he cited a racist incident involving former streamer Sneako as a key reason for his exit.
Mutahar’s Comprehensive Response
Mutahar quickly addressed Hasan’s grievances within an hour, responding to each point with clarity. He admitted his limited political knowledge but refuted the claim that he dramatized the Israel-Palestine situation:
“Yes, I do admit to not being an expert on [politics]. I didn’t cover it as a ‘drama’ since it isn’t one; serious situations with dead people and attacks happen every day. I just don’t downplay rapes and sugarcoat violent organizations like you. I also didn’t defend Asmon in the video.”
Misinformation and Personal Attacks
In an effort to clarify his stance, Mutahar remarked on the inconsistency of Hasan’s criticisms regarding his pilgrimage to Mecca:
“I don’t understand why you bring up my Hajj while being the most Muslim cosplayer I’ve ever seen. I’ve made tons of videos criticizing right-wing stupidity. Who’s claiming I want to be loved by Neonazis? I also don’t like your kind either.”
Wider Implications of the Feud
This conflict comes at a time when Hasan is also engaged in a public spat with Ethan Klein of H3H3 Productions. Notably, Klein recently published a lengthy video criticizing Hasan with serious allegations, adding another layer of complexity to the current online drama.
