K9/11
Above is the r/place canvas before the Daliban attack. Below is the canvass after the attack, with a Hungarian flag and blue letter "D" covering where Fish once was.
"My-my dog who died. Uh—that I love. Uh, You-you-you eviscerated it. Off the map. You did it reddit. You did it. You killed it."
K9/11 was a false flag operation conducted by the Daliban and during the 2022 r/place event.
The event consisted of:
- Daliban super-soldiers capturing the territory by blotting out with a Hungarian flag (in reference to Hasan's distaste for Viktor Orban—the Hungarian PM)
- Claiming credit for the attack—via a blue letter D—albeit after HasanAbi spies had already reported that the Daliban had carried out the attack, and Hasan observing first hand that one of the pixel-placers was a regular r/destiny user.
- Hasan getting big mad about a pixel dog of his real and dead dog—'dying' again before his very eyes.
Hasan Reaction
Hasan was quick to morally grandstand about his pixel dog 'dying'— which he "doesn't care [about]". He would then go on to say:
"Yeah, whatever.
I don't care, I don't care.
It's literally pixels.
Okay, it's pixels.
And you did it.
You fucking killed it.
You have the biggest dick.
Fucking pathetic losers man."[1]
Of course, neither Hasan nor his audience saw the incredible irony in decrying the pixeling-over of his dead dog for moral brownie points while simultaneously saying "it's pixels, it's not that big"[2] and that "I don't care. I don't care."[1]
Hasan and his community remains mad to this day, and still brings K9/11 up to impugn Destiny as a psychopath who kills dead dogs.
r/place backlash
A Crime Against Nature
On Reddit, many were quick to decry Destiny's actions as morally reprehensible. An r/place thread was posted, entitled "This is honestly a crime against nature",[3] in which Hasan fans and dog lovers have intense agreements about how much of a deranged lunatic it must take to replace a pixel dog in a special event about placing pixels.
