More Than Hot Takes: Exploring Hunky Twitch Streamer and Commentator Hasan Piker's Instagram
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 6 MIN.
"For over a decade now," Dazed writes, "Hasan Piker has surveyed and critiqued the ebb and flow of American policy, roping in Gen Z audiences with his authenticity and consistent reasoning." He's also incredibly hot.
We've followed the Turkish-American political commentator, basketball fan, and Twitch streamer from his "hot boys for Bernie Sanders" days to more recently as he interviewed incarcerated firemen fighting the fires in Los Angeles. Along the way, we've seen him cut his shoulder-length locks, become fully engaged in a fitness journey that he proudly shares with us, and use his platform to bring awareness to areas of injustice that he's passionate about.
As of 2024, Wikipedia reports that Piker is no. 21 on the list of most-subscribed Twitch channels of all time, where he is the most-subscribed political commentator. Piker's Instagram account is a delightful, effortlessly cool combination of workout videos, media coverage, casual thirst traps that remind his politically-focused audience how hot the person they're following is, and charming photos with his dog, Kaya. With his signature beard, occasional drops of edgy apparel merch, and frequent shirtless mirror selfies, what's not to love?
Today we're sharing some of our favorite Piker posts. While exploring his captions and comments, we learned that his audience is very creative in expressing their thirst with comments like, "The things I want to say about this pic are NOT in the bible"; "bark bark"; "Whatever you say, handsome"; and "With an open heart, and open arms, and open legs, and so forth..." among the type of enthusiastic enjoyment you can find on all his posts.
These are some of our favorite Hasan Piker posts - ones that capture how hot he is, and how blessed we are that he loves posting them.
Piker spending "father daughter time" with his dog, Kaya, each of them on a poolside lounger, the hunk's legs open, sunglasses on, arm up behind his head so we get the best view... We simply love to see it.
This muscle-laden photo of Piker with podcaster and professional boxer Michael Esiobu and eSports streamer Tarik Çelik (who commented "U r jacked buddy" - so true, Tarik) is almost too much at once. Looking at it makes something in our brain ring like an alarm going "arms arms arms, abs, arms!" We're so thankful for other people, especially when they get together to maximize their joint workout results slays. Comments on this post include "The thirst trap is real and divine," "Hasan please have mercy," and our absolute favorite: "Every gay person I know has liked this."
