A post shared by Hasan Piker (@hasandpiker)We usually write about steamy streamer Hasan Piker when the leftist content creator regales audiences with sultry pics of his pits and hairy chest. But there is a lot of substance beneath the thirst.
Piker’s keen, if not somewhat controversial, political observations are the real reason he’s amassed millions of followers on YouTube and Twitch–though again, his bulging biceps don’t hurt!During a recent conversation on Crooked Media’s “Offline,” a podcast hosted by former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, Piker presented one of his explanations for why so many young men are turning right. The gender divide among members of Gen Z is deeper than any other generation, with young women favoring Kamala Harris by 38 points and young men favoring her opponent by 13 points.
That’s a 51-point gap! Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!While dwindling economic prospects are certainly a factor, Piker says there’s a strong cultural component, too. Male spaces online are dominated by right-wing voices, whether the topic is fitness or history.
“If you’re a dude under the age of 30, and you have any hobbies whatsoever—whether it’s playing video games, whether it’s working out, whether it’s listening to a history podcast, or whatever—every single facet of that is completely dominated by center-right to, I wouldn’t say far-right in the same way it was in the 2016 era at the end of the Obama Administration, but like, definitely center-right to Trumpian right,” Piker explained. im glad @hasanthehun is sounding the alarm about the right wing’s total dominance over the young male demo
if you’re a dude under 30 you see it in your groupchats/social feeds everyday
so far, the progressive establishment has failed to invest in creative solutions to compete pic.twitter.com/2C0Xhu9HxRTrump is clearly trying to exploit the growing gender gap, with appearances on bro-centric podcasts hosted by
