Popular Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” recently tucked away the controversy surrounding the livestreaming platform Kick. This comes after fellow content creator Tobias “Tubbo” expressed concerns about hate speech and inclusivity within the platform’s community. xQc‘s response to Tubbo’s criticisms shed light on the complex issues at play and emphasized the importance of finding a constructive approach.

Tubbo had raised alarm bells regarding the presence of hate speech on Kick. He pointed out that the website might not be a safe space for diverse communities. He specifically highlighted potential risks for LGBTQIA+ individuals, young audiences, and those from marginalized backgrounds. This discussion led to a broader conversation about moderating online communities and ensuring a welcoming environment for all users.

xQc compares Forsen’s chat to Adin Ross’

xQc stepped into the fray to share his perspective on the matter. During his livestream, he compared the situations in different Twitch communities, pointing out the nuances and complexities of managing large, diverse audiences.

xQC said, “If you break down the memes and the emotes in Forsen’s chat and what they spam… oh, man! I’m just going to say it, man. It’s actually worse than Adin Ross’ chat. Oof! I said it. Sorry, chat. You know, Forsen guys, I love you, guys. It gets edgy and has a lot of funny memes, s**t like that and I get that. If you were to break down the actual meaning behind every meme and emotes, it would be worse than Adin’s chat. It is what it is.”

xQc didn’t merely address the specific criticisms of Kick. He also delved into the broader dynamics of online platforms and the challenge of balancing freedom of expression with responsible community management. He questioned whether targeting high-profile creators, like Adin Ross, was a productive approach. xQc emphasized that it’s important not to generalize the behavior of one chat to the entire Kick community.

“But, people don’t want to hear that because it is easier to go at the big whales, right? You go over the big targets and Adin Ross is a big creator. His chat is in a certain way, it doesn’t reflect on all of Kick. And, especially not permanently. Making conclusions like that doesn’t help anybody. It just doesn’t.” xQc stated.

xQc responds to Tubbo’s inclusivity concerns on Kick

Tubbo’s concerns about the Kick platform’s inclusivity were met with a cautious response from xQc. He acknowledged the existence of issues but called for a measured and thoughtful approach to addressing them. xQc played a viral video in which Tubbo criticized Sapnap’s decision to join Kick. He responded by questioning the viability of a blanket solution. xQc urged against the idea of limiting the platform to certain communities exclusively.

“Okay, now you have a problem that didn’t have a solution. What is the solution then? Outright banning all the creators on Kick, right? Because some chats aren’t modded properly and only signing, and force signing a lot of inclusive communities. Super growing and all nice conscientious, and rainbows everybody. Only LGBT+ and Black creators only? Dude, let’s not go down that route. Please, let’s not do that. Let’s not! Don’t do that.” xQc expressed passionately.

In response to Tubbo’s concerns and his own perspective, xQc’s engagement with the Kick controversy demonstrated the need for a balanced dialogue about online platform behavior, user expectations, and community management. It also highlighted the complex nature of fostering inclusivity while respecting the diverse array of opinions and content found within various online communities.
