Twitch Star HasanAbi Gets a Unique Request at TwitchCon San Diego
Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, a popular Twitch streamer, had some interesting encounters with people at TwitchCon San Diego. While some tried to provoke him, one fan had an unusual and wholesome request.
Surrounded by bizarre incidents, Hasan thought he had seen it all until a fan approached him with an unexpected question. They asked him to sign their birth certificate, making it one of the strangest requests he had ever received.
Curiously, the fan presented their Bolivian birth certificate, walking side by side with Hasan. Perplexed, Hasan asked why they brought it along. The fan discreetly shared the reason, which prompted Hasan to exclaim, “You brought your Bolivian birth certificate here for me to sign?”
“Yes!” the fan responded enthusiastically.
Amazed, Hasan confirmed that the birth certificate was genuine but declined to show it on camera out of respect for the fan’s privacy.
Hasan added, “That’s a real Bolivian birth certificate. [The fan] was born on 8/21, and he wanted me to sign it. I’ve never seen that before!”
To understand the significance, 8/21 is a meme in Hasan’s community referring to the day he made controversial comments about U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The incident caused outrage on social media and garnered media attention from outlets like Fox News. Twitch suspended Hasan for a week, although he defended it as “satire.”
As it turns out, the fan’s request had a deeper meaning. Their birthdate tied in perfectly with the meme. Hasan decided to fulfill their request and signed the birth certificate.
