Dream facing backlash for blaming his fans

0

Dream is facing backlash for blaming his fans over encouraging “CP” through artwork. The Minecraft star said he was not comfortable with it and his fans were acting on their own to publish such inappropriate content.

Dream’s newfound fame was off the back of Minecraft, and collaboration with the mainstream entertainment industry.

Just like Corpse Husband, he was able to roll with the big boys of YouTube without a face cam, with purely entertaining content. Given his involvement in multiple controversies previously, he wouldn’t mind getting into one more to defend himself.

His fans were certain of the fact that dream was comfortable with” CP” and made it the reason behind why they were creating inappropriate fan art with minors involved. However, Dream says otherwise and feels disgusted for the fact that minors are getting dragged into NFSW content.

He goes on and says that in none of his videos, had he ever encouraged CP nor he is fond of his stans using him to shield themselves. The Minecraft star Dream finds the backlash getting pointed in the wrong direction.

“YouTuber Dream has refused to condemn murder after one of his fans turned out to be a murderer. Will he finally be held accountable? Tune in at six to find out.” tweeed Dream rhetorically. Though his intention were pretty clear, he is tired and dissatisfied with his fans pointing their anger at the wrong direction.

There is no saying which way the drama is headed, as Dream fans are certain that the YouTuber is at fault to encourage such things later disowning his fans when they tired making artworks for him. A detailed explanation his side is needed or this drama will be dragged into something worse which wont benefit neither the community nor Dream himself.

Valorant: Cypher Camera Glitch Lets Players Peek Attackers’ Spawn

0

Even after over nine months since its initial release, the Valorant agent Cypher still remains shrouded with bugs and game-breaking glitches. Only a week after we reported the game-breaking Cypher glitch where players could use his camera to instantly break Sage walls, it seems like another bug has surfaced.

This Cypher bug, that was shared to Reddit by u/TimBuckktwo, enables players to take a peek at the Attackers’ spawn at the start of a round in Ascent.

As shown in the video, to replicate the bug players have to get on top of the generators in the A-site of Ascent, and place their camera at a specific spot above the wall.

When executed properly, Cypher can easily look at the enemy team’s spawn at the start of a round.

Many players are claiming that this bug has been existent in the game for a while now. Moreover, this bug is quite easy to replicate, meaning that players can abuse it in ranked games.

Fans are hoping for Riot Games to deliver a fix on this issue at the earliest.

Pokimane banned from Mizkif’s chat during live stream

0

Mizkif banned Imane “Pokimane” Anys from his Twitch chat during a live stream that yielded a hilarious reaction out of her.

Just when Pokimane was going through Mizkif’s Twitch the “little people” emoticon got her interest to which she wondered if she can have one for herself and her chat. She realized the aforementioned emoticon was limited to his chat upon which Mizkif handed her a ban from the chat to which she made a hilarious face for us to laugh for ages. Although before mentioning the emoticon, she took her sweet time to feel superior for having a higher message per minute than him.

“I’ve way higher mpm”………aww this little people is so cute can we add him,” she was just done saying this when Mizkif’s chat disappeared leading to a hilarious reaction from her. Pokimane was having her “Just Chatting” session with her fans just when this happened making it funny enough for her fans.

Though one can say that boasting your “mpm” on less popular streamer would be something we won’t expect but as it seems Pokimane was really satisfied upon feeling superior. Soon his mods were able to unban her, which speaks to fact that Mizkif was having some fun at her expense. He was dissasisfied with the comments she made to which he decided to unban her.

Pokimane is one of the top streamers on Twitch, and someone like her rubbing stats on lesser known streamer can make her look like a wealthy bully. Incidents like these speaks to mentality of the streamers on the upper echelons of Twitch who should help others grow rather than boasting stats on them, a shoutout or mention benefits lesser known streamers instead of flexing stats.
