Hasan Piker Declares He 'Hates Everything,' Citing Disillusionment Amid Dog Collar Controversy

Political commentator and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker recently expressed profound disillusionment, stating, "I hate everything," a sentiment echoed in a broader declaration of being "blackpilled" and hating streaming. This emotional outburst follows intense public scrutiny and accusations regarding his alleged use of a shock collar on his dog, Kaya, during a livestream. The incident has ignited widespread debate across social media and the streaming community.

The controversy erupted after a clip from an October 18, 2025, livestream went viral, showing Piker's dog, Kaya, yelping as the streamer appeared to reach off-camera. This led to accusations that he activated a shock collar to keep the dog in frame. Piker vehemently denied the claims, attributing Kaya's yelp to an accidental clip while getting off a bed, rather than a shock collar.

Despite his denial, critics highlighted a green blinking light on Kaya's collar, a characteristic often associated with shock collars, and resurfaced an older clip where Piker described owning one as "incredibly effective." The animal rights organization PETA weighed in, stating, "Hasan Piker has denied using a shock collar on his dog, and we hope that’s true because shock collars are dangerous and downright cruel." Fellow streamers, including Ethan Klein and xQc, also joined the discussion, with Klein calling it "horrifying animal cruelty."

Piker's subsequent emotional declaration, where he reportedly stated he "hates the left," "hates streaming," and is "blackpilled," signals a deep sense of burnout and disillusionment. Known for his often-controversial left-wing political commentary and extensive streaming hours, Piker has frequently discussed the pressures of public life and the constant scrutiny faced by online personalities. This recent incident underscores the challenges streamers encounter in managing their public image and personal well-being amidst viral controversies.
