Dream slammed by critics over \u201cinsensitive\u201d Veterans Day tweet Instagram: dreamwastaken \/ TwitterPopular YouTuber and Minecraft star \u2018Dream\u2019 is facing backlash from critics over a tweet he posted on Veterans Day that some claim is \u201cinsensitive.\u201d November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States. This federal holiday commemorates living military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. This same day also marks Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, which similarly honors military veterans. On this day, many communities will gather together to celebrate their local veterans and honor their service, while others express their sentiments via social media. One social media post, however, has been met with some backlash, coming from the secondary Twitter account of popular internet personality \u2018Dream.\u2019 Dream under fire over Veterans Day Tweet Dream is a \u201cfaceless\u201d YouTuber best known for his Minecraft content, who boasts a wide fanbase of dedicated viewers. Unlike most influencers, Dream refuses to show his face online, in keeping with such other \u201cfaceless\u201d personalities like Corpse Husband. On November 11, Dream tweeted a joking statement referencing a fictional battle that took place in his Minecraft server \u2014 an event fans call the \u201cFirst Great War\u201d of the Dream SMP (short for \u2018survival multiplayer\u2019 server). The battle saw the fictitious country of \u2018L\u2019Manburg\u2019 secure its independence from the Dream SMP. \u201cHappy Veterans Day to everyone who fought in the L\u2019manburg war,\u201d he wrote, coupled with a few flexing arm and heart emojis. \u201cYour courage and bravery was unparalleled. God bless.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/dreamwastaken\/status\/1458848685144616968 While plenty of fans joined in on the joke, others weren\u2019t amused by Dream\u2019s post, finding it disrespectful on a day meant to celebrate real military veterans. \u201cJoking about war isn\u2019t funny,\u201d one user replied. \u201cInstead, you should remember those who fought for your country. \u2026 just because you don\u2019t care about it doesn\u2019t mean you can joke.\u201d joking about war isn\u2019t funny :\/ instead you should remember those of who fought for your country, you chose to join the war yet you still find ways to joke about it even if you don\u2019t care you should still pay respect. just because you don\u2019t care about it doesn\u2019t mean you can joke \u2014 Daisy Smith (@jadelivestream) November 11, 2021 \u201cDream it\u2019s literally Remembrance Day in the UK, this feels really insensitive,\u201d another fan wrote. \u201cI know you probably didn\u2019t mean this, but could you delete this?\u201d Dream it\u2019s literally Rememberance Day in the UK, this feels really insensitive. I know you probably didn\u2019t mean this but could you delete this? \u2014 the ben (@beeb_ben) November 11, 2021 \u201cHey Dream, this wasn\u2019t a good tweet to post,\u201d another said. \u201cWe should be thanking Veterans and not roleplayed ones. I know it\u2019s a joke, and I get the joke, but this joke is still distasteful.\u201d Hey Dream, this wasn\u2019t a good tweet to post. We should be thanking Veterans and not roleplayed ones. I know it\u2019s a joke, and I get the joke, but this joke is still distasteful. I hope you understand. I don\u2019t hate you, just don\u2019t make the same mistake again. \u2014 Bree (@BreeZaps) November 11, 2021 Although there\u2019s some backlash surrounding Dream\u2019s post, it\u2019s worth noting that a number of his fans have joined in on the joke, even photoshopping photos of other Minecraft YouTubers into old black and white photos. God bless them.
