Popular streamer xQc has reignited drama in the live streaming world by calling out what he describes as hypocrisy from Twitch — and using a provocative meme featuring fellow streamer Hasan to drive his point home.

The incident began when xQc accused Twitch of double standards, pointing out how certain streamers receive leniency while others are harshly punished. To underscore his critique, he shared and promoted an edited meme — dubbed the “Hasan-taser” — which imagines Hasan being tased, drawing attention to what xQc sees as unfair enforcement and favoritism.

Though xQc did not provide specific examples in every case, his overall tone was one of frustration with how Twitch moderates content and enforces rules selectively. The meme, controversial as it is, quickly spread among viewers and other streamers, amplifying the argument about inconsistent policy application.

This isn’t the first time xQc has clashed publicly over Twitch’s enforcement practices or streamer moderation policies — he has previously challenged suspensions, bans, and account penalties. In light of this latest move, many in the streaming community are watching closely for Twitch’s response and whether enforcement will become more equitable across the platform.

As the meme circulates, it has sparked heated discussion in forums and social media channels about whether platform rules should be uniformly enforced or if exceptions are inevitable in high-profile cases.

With xQc’s reputation and influence, this incident may reignite broader conversations about accountability, transparency, and fairness in live streaming moderation — especially on a platform as dominant as Twitch.
