'Jail or blacklisted': Ethan Klein wants Twitch CEO Dan Clancy to get jailed over HasanAbi toy gun incident
(Image via @huffnmorepuff & @hasanthehun/X) Tensions are boiling over in the streaming world as H3H3's Ethan Klein called out Twitch CEO Dan Clancy with a scathing statement: 'I hope Dan Clancy ends up in jail.' This explosive remark came after a fiery controversy involving political streamer HasanAbi, sparking a debate over Twitch's selective rule enforcement and alleged hypocrisy among creators. The Trigger: HasanAbi's Toy Gun Outburst On July 3, 2025, HasanAbi went viral after a clip surfaced showing him reacting aggressively to a viewer's alleged threats. During a live stream, he identified a YouTuber believed to be behind the hate messages and pointed what appeared to be a toy gun at the screen, ranting: 'Let's hang Hasan and Mamdani for treason, he says... What are you going to do? Try to f**king put malware in my phone? Is that what you're going to do? You skinny b**ch! Ugly a**!" The video ignited backlash, with some accusing HasanAbi of inciting harassment and even potential doxing — a serious violation of Twitch's terms of service. Ethan Klein Fires Back The next day, Ethan Klein, known for his bold opinions on the H3 Podcast , took to Instagram with a brutal critique. Klein claimed that Hasan had not only doxed the wrong person but had also done so while wielding a realistic-looking toy weapon — something Ethan himself had been previously crucified for. (Ethan Klein called out Twitch over HasanAbi toy gun incident on Instagram (Image via @h3Hhproductions/Instagram) His story was unapologetically direct: 'You spent the last year calling me a doxxer for doing the same exact thing... I'm not offended… I just find the brazen hypocrisy funny.' But the sharpest barb was reserved for Dan Clancy. Ethan accused the Twitch CEO of enabling favoritism and failing to enforce platform rules consistently, saying: 'It's approaching criminal negligence... I hope Dan Clancy ends up in jail or blacklisted from ever working in tech again.' Twitch's Silence Raises Eyebrows The controversy gained even more traction when Daniel Saltman, CEO of REDACT and fellow streamer, stepped in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He revealed that he had reported HasanAbi's channel through every official Twitch channel, with no response. Saltman tagged Clancy directly on X (formerly Twitter), accusing Twitch of ignoring reports and dodging accountability: 'This has now been reported on every available system. Good luck finding a reason to ignore them.' Fallout & What's Next At its core, this controversy underscores two major issues: platform favoritism and inconsistent enforcement. Twitch has yet to issue an official statement, and as criticism mounts, pressure on Dan Clancy continues to grow. Will Twitch respond? Will there be consequences for HasanAbi? And will Clancy survive this latest firestorm? One thing's for sure: this isn't over. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
