xQc has called out Hasan Piker over his response to the ongoing controversy involving his dog Kaya. The streamer said Hasan should stop blaming what he sees as “coordinated smear campaigns” and instead be honest about what happened. xQc argued that admitting a mistake, apologizing, and showing that he had learned from it could have ended the backlash quickly. He also brought up his own past mistakes to explain why he believes Hasan should accept the criticism rather than continue fighting the claims surrounding the viral dog clip.
xQc tells Hasan to admit shocking his dog instead of blaming smear campaigns
According to xQc, Hasan’s biggest mistake was not simply what happened during the livestream, but how he responded afterward. Rather than continuing to fight the claims and blame coordinated efforts against him, xQc said Hasan should simply admit it if he really shocked his dog.“Just say u shocked ur dog..I shouldn’t have done it, there’s other ways of doing it and I’m doing that now,” xQc said.He explained that Hasan could have admitted he did not know enough about animals at the time, accepted that he made a bad decision, and shown that he had changed.“I didn’t know and I learned more about animals, and I was a F head, but I’ve moved on,” xQc added.xQc also believed the controversy could have ended much faster if Hasan had taken that approach. He suggested that Hasan may have faced heavy criticism for only about a week before people moved on.“Maybe you’ll get some heat for maybe a week, and then he’d be done with it,” he said.The controversy began after a livestream showed Hasan with Kaya on his bed. The dog moved away from the spot before Hasan reached toward the side of the frame. Kaya then made a noise that some viewers described as a yelp.Some critics believed Hasan had pressed a remote connected to an electronic training collar. Hasan has denied shocking Kaya and has offered other explanations for what happened.The footage does not clearly show what Hasan touched, whether a remote was pressed, or what caused Kaya to make the sound.
xQc also questions Hasan’s decision to have a dog walker
xQc did not stop at the controversy surrounding the viral clip. He also questioned Hasan for having a dog walker, saying he believes walking a dog should be something an owner wants to do.“I thought the whole point of having a dog is that u care about ur dog and u like having a dog,” xQc said.He then made an even stronger comment about Hasan’s decision.“I think if u have a dog walker, u don’t even like ur dog,” xQc said.The new comments have brought the Kaya controversy back into focus, with xQc arguing that Hasan should focus on accepting responsibility instead of fighting claims of coordinated attacks.For now, the original footage does not prove exactly what happened. xQc’s comments are based on his view that admitting a mistake would be a better way for Hasan to handle the backlash.
