Dream sparks Twitter outrage over comments on doxxing Instagram: dreamwastakenMinecraft star \u2018Dream\u2019 is facing backlash on social media after making divisive comments about doxxing during a recent Twitch stream. Dream is one of the biggest Minecraft streamers on the internet right now. Known as a \u2018faceless\u2019 content creator, Dream has never shown his face online of his own volition, despite attempts from internet trolls to reveal his identity in the past. It\u2019s unclear if Dream himself was a victim of doxxing in that event, but it\u2019s not an uncommon occurrence for influencers, especially those of the \u2018faceless variety;\u2019 last year, Corpse Husband was at the center \u2018face reveal\u2019 rumors when fans allegedly got hold of an older picture of the music artist. Dream recently spoke out regarding doxxing \u2014 the act of leaking someone\u2019s personal information online, arguing that those with smaller social media followings don\u2019t need to stress about the ordeal. \u201cI\u2019m just gonna express that, if you are a person on Twitter and you have seven followers and you get doxxed on Twitter, the odds of you having something happen to you in your life are so astronomically small it\u2019s not even worth worrying about,\u201d he said in a Twitch stream. \u201cIt\u2019s not even worth it remotely. Everybody that I know that is a creator has had their address leaked, has had their name leaked, has had everything leaked about them. It\u2019s very rare to have things actually happen.\u201d NO WAY dream basically just said u getting doxxed because of him isnt that big of a deal\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80 #dreamOUT pic.twitter.com\/TRK86Z12Ba \u2014 D\u03a3X (@Dex0us) April 14, 2022 Dream made these comments after going over some of his tweets with fans, one of them being an explanation of a post he made \u201cmocking homophobia in clear support of gay people.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dream\/status\/1513576272592576519?s=20&t=v1Yuh8KpTl62P2GIMyh0vw Dream under fire for doxxing comments Dream\u2019s comments regarding doxxing have stirred up outrage online, with netizens arguing that having one\u2019s personal information leaked is cause for concern, no matter who you are. \u201cSmall chance or not, it\u2019s personal information being put online,\u201d one user said of the situation. \u201cIt is terrifying regardless of the situation and shouldn\u2019t be downplayed like this.\u201d small chance or not, its personal information being put online, it is terrifying regardless of the situation and shouldn\u2019t be downplayed like this. having someone know where you live and threaten your family isn\u2019t exactly what you\u2019d call not a big deal lmao \u2014 yopobeep (@yopobeep) April 14, 2022 \u201cIsn\u2019t doxxing literally illegal?\u201d another fan asked. \u201c\u2019If someone does this illegal thing to you, just ignore it, it\u2019s fine, nothing bad will happen.\u2019\u201d Isn\u2019t doxxing literally illegal?? \u201cIf someone does this illegal thing to you, just ignore it, it\u2019s fine, nothing bad will happen.\u201d \u2014 Asrius |\ud83c\udf97| \ud83d\udc0a\ud83d\udc3b\ud83d\udc30 (@HikariHenkoYo) April 14, 2022 Dream responds to controversy over \u201cdoxxing\u201d comments Dream has since responded to the ongoing controversy, posting the entire clip of his statement where he made sure to clarify that doxxing is \u201chorrible\u201d and disavowed the practice. \u201cIf you participate in doxxing of people, if you participate in harassing and threatening people, you are not welcome in my community,\u201d the streamer said. \u201cYou are not a part of my community.
