Dream responds to #dreamwaswrong trending on Twitter Dream \/ Mojang StudiosYouTuber and Minecraft content creator Dream has finally responded to the #dreamwaswrong trend on Twitter, using his DreamWasTaken account to assert he disavows the behavior displayed by some of his fans. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Dream and his cohorts, including known creators like Tommyinnit and GeorgeNotFound, are incredibly popular on YouTube and beyond thanks to an infinitum of Dream Team videos and the Dream SMP server. While that level of fame means possibility for mainstream collaboration with the likes of superstar TikTok influencer Addison Rae, it also comes with downsides. Notably, #dreamwaswrong began trending on Twitter as fans blamed Dream for encouraging his stans, some of whom are prone to producing inappropriate fan art involving minors. As critics explain, Dream\u2019s love for his fans supposedly equates to egging on the ways they express their fandom \u2014 thereby supporting the production of \u201cCP.\u201d In response, he explained: \u201cI\u2019ve said this before but don\u2019t ship creators that are uncomfortable with it, and especially not minors. It\u2019s disgusting to draw NSFW stuff about minors or anyone that hasn\u2019t explicitly said it\u2019s fine.\u201d I\u2019ve said this before but don\u2019t ship creators that are uncomfortable with it, and especially not minors. It\u2019s disgusting to draw NSFW stuff about minors or anyone that hasn\u2019t explicitly said it\u2019s fine. \u2014 dream (@dreamwastaken) January 22, 2021 After addressing the drama directly, by reaffirming that \u201cNSFW stuff about minors\u201d is distasteful, Dream continued on to explain why it\u2019s unfair to misgeneralize his role in the production of such content. In a follow-up tweet aimed at defending his support for his fans, the Minecraft YouTuber said, \u201cWith 16 million subscribers that\u2019s 1 out of every 480 people IN THE WORLD that are subscribed. There\u2019s bound to be thousands of terrible people, but there\u2019s also bound to be millions of great ones. If you\u2019re looking for hate or disgusting stuff, you\u2019ll find it. Stop looking.\u201d With 16 million subscribers that\u2019s 1 out of every 480 people IN THE WORLD that are subscribed. There\u2019s bound to be thousands of terrible people, but there\u2019s also bound to be millions of great ones. If you\u2019re looking for hate or disgusting stuff, you\u2019ll find it. Stop looking \u2014 dream (@dreamwastaken) January 22, 2021 As he shows, boasting 16 million subscribers on YouTube means that \u201cout of every 480 people in the world,\u201d at least one is a fan of Dream\u2019s content. That is an enormous quantity of supporters, and it should not be surprising that there are \u201cthousands of terrible people\u201d within the millions of fans. This sentiment appears to be echoed by his fans \u2014 as many have resurfaced earlier videos showing that the content creator has never specifically encouraged the creation of relationship fanfiction or \u201cCP.\u201d #dreamwaswrong literally when has dream said cp is ok pic.twitter.com\/H1pKiHMyVD \u2014 \u064b (@ATSUHlNAS) January 22, 2021 It remains unclear how satisfied people are with Dream\u2019s response, but the overall sentiment appears to be positive. While it feels unreasonable to expect a creator to be wholly responsible for the actions of their audience, this incident does provide a cautionary tale. Considering this \u201cdisgusting\u201d group of Dream\u2019s stans, the prevailing community critique remains: If you are an influencer, you have some obligation to directly and quickly curtail negative behavior by those you influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
