Now, leaning into the trolls, their children are literally wearing tinfoil hats. There is a controversial subreddit devoted to identifying streamers who cheat in Warzone. And it\u2019s not controversial because of the premise, since people \u2014 pros alike \u2014 think calling hackers out is important. It\u2019s controversial because, on occasion, the hacker conspiracy theories go to\u2026 elaborate lengths. At one point, ZLaner\u2019s IRL move to Toronto was questioned and, in turn, many have made fun of the accusers. Now, seemingly as a response to those jokes about conspiracy theorizing, headwear has gotten involved. In an October 24 Reddit post, someone showed that their son was wearing a tinfoil hat in the name of \u201cpassion.\u201d Warzone hacker conspiracy theorist\u2019s child wears tinfoil hat As you can see in the picture, \u2018IBEATCURRY1on1\u2019 has shared their son\u2019s new outfit to the public forum. And, if you\u2019re wondering why a child might wear a literal tinfoil hat while doing homework, the title offers an explanation. \u201cMy Son loves BadboyBeman\u2019s tinfoil hat theme. We both dislike Streamer cheaters in COD and Fortnite with a passion.\u201d One has to assume they\u2019re talking about BadBoyBeaman here, a notorious hacker watchdog, but the intentions are obvious. In response, there was a bunch of support. One user said \u201cdads are based. Can see through this bullshit that \u2018professional\u2019 gaming is.\u201d But there\u2019s been backlash as well, with one calling the OP a \u201cterrible father\u201d who should \u201cstop pushing\u201d their child into this scene. We won\u2019t pass any judgment here, but this is an interesting demonstration of just how far along the streamer hacker conspiracy theories have gone.
