14:50 - I remember Hasan going over his viewer demographics in 2023. His viewers at the time were about 70% men and over 20% women (I believe the rest were non-binary). Considering that Twitch and the rest of the streaming world are very male-dominated, these numbers make a lot of sense. I’m gonna assume that most women (including myself) mainly consume his content through his YouTube, Instagram and podcast, or even watching his old TYT appearances.
So timely. Couple Hasan's mainstreaming with David Hogg's crusade to primary establishment Democrats and his recent comments -- very woe for the bros -- on Bill Maher.
I, personally, am not mad at what Hogg is saying/doing, including his shade to Jim Clyburn, but if this all becomes "woe for the bros", then, to me, it's the same failed comeback strategy post 2016 election when many milquetoast political strategists were like "how do we get white people back?!" Now it would just be "how do we get YOUNG white people back, but really the teens and young men who we're not really sure if they're progressive but, hey, they're white?!" The centering of whites/males is always going to crash and burn.
