“They’re all terrorists”: Adin Ross accuses HasanAbi’s community during xQc discussion | Esports News
In a blazing Kick stream on July 7, 2025, superstar streamer Adin Ross ignited outrage after labeling fellow creator Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker’s audience “terrorists.” In a joint rant with Félix “xQc” Lengyel, Ross went on a tirade against HasanAbi’s Twitch channel for being unmoderated, and that his community was rife with dangerous ideology.
The Controversial Accusation
The drama started when the duo covered streamers’ political leanings and content moderation styles, before turning their attention to HasanAbi. Adin Ross was not holding back:“His chat, are terrorists. Like, his chat are… I’m not joking. Watch his stream. They like… they’re all terrorists. I’m not even joking.”Ross’s blanket statement was greeted with instant alarm throughout the streaming community, with many observers labeling it a reckless and incendiary generalization. Critics argued that yes, HasanAbi has cultivated an active political community, but labeling that group terrorists is unethical and immoral.
Political Streams and Platform Wars
HasanAbi, the ex-political pundit turned Twitch superstar, has grown an audience by streaming leftist politics and news. His controversial opinions have earned him fervent admirers and equally fervent critics.The Twitch streamer has suffered sanctions prior, including one ban after citing the manifesto of the Jewish Museum shooter in Washington, D.C. Twitch’s community guidelines surrounding violent and extremist content were referenced as the rationale behind his temporary suspension.Meanwhile, Ross and xQc, now mostly on Kick, have frequently cast themselves as the provocative, unfiltered option to Twitch’s more sanitised platform. Their content often borders on being as funny as it is controversial. Ross’s recent tweet seems to have crossed the line for many.
xQc Remains Neutral
Curiously, xQc did not back nor dispute Ross’s audacious claim during the stream. Although he appeared uneasy, he allowed the moment to pass without major resistance. Famous for his unpredictable but deliberate off-stream antics, xQc has generally avoided political controversy, rendering his silence notable, if not unexpected.
Internet Reacts
Social media was immediately ablaze with response. HasanAbi fans called Ross’s remarks dangerous rhetoric, while some of Ross’s supporters said he was being hyperbolic and condemning online extremism, not literally calling people terrorists.Many creators were already chiming in, calling on Ross to explain or withdraw the comment. Thus far, neither Ross or HasanAbi has posted any official follow-up.Adin Ross’s remarks underscore the increasing ideological fault lines in the streaming realm, where free speech, content moderation, and political bias often intersect. Does this most recent controversy result in apologies, bans, or escalation remains to be seen, the internet is definitely watching.
