HasanAbi Responds to the Podcast Controversy
After the Trash Taste podcast aired. HasanAbi saw the negativity and claimed that there was a “brigade” against him. In online culture, a brigade refers to people targeting any form of media in groups to shift people’s views. The streamer said in a tweet:
“i dont think its all organic trash taste fans tbh, i got lots of weirdos roaming the web recently, its okay to correct the record imo, they get away with saying a lot of totally ridiculous things. everyone is capable of making up their mind if they simply watch the stream.”

He asked his fans to “counter brigade” the negativity coming his way. Internet users want Trash Taste to address the situation, but none of the hosts have talked about it so far.
