Please tell us everything you know about , Hikaru Nakamura , the greatest online bullet player of all time.
I literally don't care about him, chat. Chat, you hear me? I just don't care. I literally not even care.
What the hell 😱😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬,are you serious
Here's my attempt at a summary:
Eric Hansen and Hikaru were playing a blitz game with no increment. The position was objectively a draw. Hansen offers a draw. Hikaru moves, thus declining the draw. Nakamura, realizing he had just declined a draw in a drawn position, offered a draw himself. Hansen, assuming Nakamura wanted to keep playing, kept moving and ultimately flagged him.
Nakamura went into this (frankly hilarious) rant on his stream where he kept complaining about what bad etiquette it was to offer a draw and then not accept a draw on the next move, and kept repeating "I don't care, I don't care, I literally don't even care" over and over again.
A lot of people made fun of him for this (my favorite was Ben Finegold's video; but Magnus Carlsen even did a "I don't care" rant on stream that I can't find right now. Carlsen had a pretty deadpan delivery, so it's sort of unclear if he was consciously referencing Hikaru or this was a pure coincidence, but the fact that he did this like 3 days after the fact made a lot of people think this was deliberate). Notably (in my opinion), the larger Chess.com streamers (Levy, Botez, etc.) didn't say a word about this whole incident.
ChessBrah(the Twitch stream/YouTube channel of which Eric Hansen is a part) posted a few videos clipping Hikaru and Hansen's streams at the relevant moments. Eric Hansen made some rather pointed remarks (e.g. "Once you decline my draw, you're expecting me to just sit there and wait until my flag falls?"). I remember in one of the videos they clipped Finegold at the very end saying something quite rude about Nakamura.
Several of those ChessBrah videos have now been copyright striked. Somebody went through the ChessBrah YouTube channel and started reporting all of the videos making fun of Hikaru Nakamura. It wasn't even just ChessBrah either; tryingtolearn1234's and Ben Finegold's channels were also hit with strikes on the videos making fun of Hikaru. These strikes were done manually; meaning a real person went to the video and filled out a DMCA form to strike the video. Nakamura denied it was him; supposedly the strikes weren't done by him personally, but through his multi-channel network.
Having watched the Carlsen clip again, I rescind my statement that it was sort of unclear. He was making fun of Hikaru.

I don't care about Hikaru he doesn't play on lichess and plays on chess.com so I don't even care about whatever he does and plus the greatest online bullet player is either @alireza2003 @DrNykterstein @rebeccaharris not Hikaru

@Pulsifier There’s no way to express how epic your post was. Thank you 😊
Hikaru managed to take the don't care meme from Jay Cutler. Impressive.
