'This is not a real gun, pu**y,': HasanAbi trolls critics after facing backlash over toy gun controversy
Popular Twitch streamer and political commentator HasanAbi is back in the headlines, but not for the first time, and definitely not for the last. He is at the center of a heated controversy after flashing a toy gun on stream in response to a death threat.
While some called it reckless, Hasan's clapback?
'Soy right is f**king crying about it.'
Let's break down what really happened.
The Stream That Sparked It All
On July 3, 2025, HasanAbi was live when a viewer allegedly sent a threat saying they wanted to 'hang' him. In response, Hasan sarcastically raised a toy gun, threw out a 'good luck,' and moved on. But Hasan quickly clarified: it wasn't real. It wasn't serious. And it definitely wasn't a threat.
'This Is Not a Real Gun, Pu**y'
In his very next stream, Hasan was blunt.
'This is not a real gun… pu**y,'
he said, holding up the plastic weapon again to prove his point. He explained it was sarcasm and a dark, ironic response to constant death threats.
His exact words?
'I say 'good luck' and now the soy right is f**king crying about it… I can't even have a little bit of fun with it?'

e didn't backpedal. He doubled down. Hasan insisted that waving a toy gun in jest is miles apart from real threats or doxxing, especially when you're on the receiving end of hate daily.
The
MoistCr1TiKaL Comparison
To highlight the double standard, Hasan brought up MoistCr1TiKaL's 2023 viral video during his feud with Sneako. Back then, Moist casually held two real guns on camera while dismantling Sneako's arguments. But during his time, the internet cheered and he was praised as an epic takedown. So when Hasan brandishes a toy, and the same crowd calls for a ban?
Here's what Hassan said:
'Every single person that masturb**ed when MoistCr1TiKaL did the exact same thing, is now going, 'this guy needs to be banned immediately....''
The hypocrisy, according to Hasan, is crystal clear and political.
Not His First Rodeo
HasanAbi is no stranger to controversy. From calling out 'psychotic MAGA lawyers' to clashing with conservative creators, he's built a platform that thrives on debate and dissent. But this time, the backlash hit differently, with accusations ranging from doxxing to promoting gun culture.
HasanAbi's latest controversy is less about props and more about double standards. While the 'soy right' fumes online, Hasan? He's already moved on and is laughing about it.

America Party launched: Elon Musk announces ‘The way we're going to crack....'
Elon Musk Elon Musk said that he is officially launching the America Party, ending the two-party system in the US. The Tesla CEO conducted a poll on July 4 - US Independence Day asking X (formerly Twitter) users whether America Party should be formed. 'Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?,' he wrote in a Twitter post on July 4. Announcing the poll result in a post earlier today, Musk wrote: 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!'. Adding further, he said 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' Musk first floated the idea to form a political party if the Trump administration's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' gets passed by the congress. With the latest post, he has made it official that he is indeed forming a new political party. However, it remains unclear if the party has been registered with the US election authorities. The most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings showed no indication of any registration so far. Also, the tech billionaire did not share any other details of his America Party.

Frida Kahlo was the original influencer even before influencing was a thing
Image: July 6, 1907 marks the birthday of a true icon—Frida Kahlo. But even after 117 years, she isn't just a name in art history; she's a living, breathing brand. And long before influencers and hashtags, she mastered self-presentation, identity, and visibility in a way that resonates exactly with how we experience celebrity culture today. Frida didn't just wake up and paint—she curated her public image down to every detail; from Tehuana dresses to bold brows. She wore traditional Mexican attire, piled on jewelry, and braided her hair with ribbons and flowers—not simply for looks, but as a statement of cultural pride, political defiance, and personal storytelling. In an era before selfies or self-branding, she turned her wardrobe into a visual narrative: clothing became cultural proclamation. Her unibrow and faint moustache? They weren't mistakes—they were declarations of radical authenticity . Kahlo's art doubled as editorial content. Her numerous self-portraits—set faces and sorrow-laden gazes—weren't just self-expression; they were curated visuals, each with its own framing, styling, and caption. Like a poignant post, her canvases broadcast vulnerability, identity, and political meaning in a single image. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In today's marketing world, authenticity is gold. Frida wore her scars—physical and emotional—on canvas and skin. Her chronic pain, and corsets became part of her signature look. That makeup bag? Inside were everyday brands: Revlon lipstick and eyebrow pencil she used intentionally to shape her image . Frida Kahlo didn't need filters, captions, or ring lights to get the world's attention—her life was the content. Long before the concept of a 'personal brand' even existed, she was living it. Every scarf, every eyebrow stroke, every flower in her braid had intention behind it. She didn't build a brand accidentally—she crafted one, and that's what makes her so timeless, so relevant, and honestly, so cool. Let's break down what anyone—whether you're a YouTuber, fashion designer, writer, or just figuring out how to show up in the world—can learn from her: Own your identity (even the messy parts) Frida didn't hide her scars. Literally. She painted them. She painted her surgeries, her miscarriage, her disability, her heartbreak, her body hair. Most people would bury those parts under layers of shame, but she used them as fuel. She took the things the world told her to be embarrassed about and turned them into art. That's a lesson in power. Today, where so much of social media is about showing our best lives, Frida reminds us that showing the real stuff—that's where the connection happens. Your look tells a story—so tell yours on purpose Frida didn't just 'have a vibe.' She built one. The bold Tehuana dresses, the chunky indigenous jewelry, the vibrant shawls—those were all part of a visual language. She was saying: 'I am proud to be Mexican. I honor indigenous women. I don't need to look like anyone else.' In a world of curated feeds, she reminds us: don't just copy what's trending. Find the elements that say something about you and wear them like armor. It's not about being 'different' for the sake of it—it's about being true. Be relatable and brave Frida was fearless in her vulnerability. She didn't sugarcoat her pain. But she didn't let it define her either. That delicate balance—between being honest and being defiant—is what made her resonate across generations. It's the same reason we follow people who aren't perfect, but real. You don't have to have it all together. You just have to show up as someone who feels deeply and still chooses to express it. That's bravery, and it travels farther than perfection ever will. Context is everything Frida's brand was never just about her face (although yes, those brows are legendary). It was about what her face stood for: revolution, feminism, indigenous pride, anti-colonialism, disability rights, queerness. She embedded meaning into every detail. Her image stood for something—and that's why it still does. In a time when it's easy to go viral for doing nothing, Frida's work reminds us: substance matters. Having values gives your presence weight. If people know what you stand for, they'll stand with you. On her 117th birthday, we can say it loud: Frida Kahlo didn't just paint—she packaged herself. She invented a personal brand that's still viral today, without algorithms or management teams. She did it with intention, cultural pride, identity, and unflinching honesty. Frida's legacy reminds us: brand isn't just what you sell—it's what you stand for. And if today's influencers took a page from her book, maybe they'd replace filters with authenticity, and trends with truth.
