NBA 2K Twitch streamer under fire for mocking Make-A-Wish Twitch: GirlGamerShay[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Popular Twitch streamer and NBA 2K player \u2018GirlGamerShay\u2019 has come under intense scrutiny after mocking the Make-A-Wish foundation during a recent live broadcast. The Make-A-Wish foundation, a nonprofit organization, helps grant the \u201cwishes\u201d of children from 2 and a half to 17 years old with terminal illnesses, and is widely known for wrangling high-profile celebrities for wholesome meet-and-greets with the sick youngsters. A charitable organization responsible for bringing happiness to terminally ill kids, Make-A-Wish has received ample praise for its mission since its founding in 1980 \u2014 but one Twitch streamer mocked the Foundation during an August broadcast. GirlGamerShay was in the 2K lobby when she took shots at the org. \u201cYo, what the f**k is that \u2018Make-A-Wish?\u2019\u201d she asked, before shouting, \u201c\u2018I\u2019m gonna go to Florida! Let\u2019s wish for that!\u2019 \u2018Let me make a wish because I am sick.\u2019 Oh my god, man.\u201d Making fun of people who are terminally ill and have a life threatening disease\u2026 wtf is wrong with her\ud83d\ude2d https:\/\/t.co\/T9NuqRH3vE \u2014 NBA 2K22 News (@2KInsiderr) August 26, 2020 Needless to say, Shay\u2019s comments received a slew of backlash from viewers and fellow streamers alike, including high-profile personality LosPollosTV, who once held the record for Twitch\u2019s longest continuous live stream. \u201cIdk who tf this is\u2026 but f**k this b***h,\u201d he said of the clip from her stream, which quickly went viral across social media. \u201cIdc if u get some clout you\u2019re a fuckin weirdo,\u201d he continued. \u201cMaking fun of a f***kin\u2019 Make-A-Wish kid? Just delete your whole s**t\u2026\u201d \u201cI have no words man, makes me sick to my stomach,\u201d another commenter chimed in. \u201cMan, wtf is wrong with people?\u201d I have no words man makes me sick to my stomach man wtf is wrong with people \u2014 ????????? (@Homer2104_) August 26, 2020 Shay has since published an apology, claiming that she did not know what the Make-A-Wish foundation was at the time of her stream. However, some internet sleuths have found evidence to the contrary, replying to her apology post with a screenshot of her commenting, \u201cRespect\u201d in response to a the 2K team\u2019s involvement in one child\u2019s \u201cwish\u201d in May of this year. you dont know what make a wish is?? pic.twitter.com\/vog4rhDMfg \u2014 NBA 2K22 News (@2KInsiderr) August 26, 2020 The streamer has since released several concerning tweets that some feel could allude to harmful behavior, writing, \u201cThinking about doing something I should do. GG. Y\u2019all won\u2019t ever see me. Y\u2019all got it.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/GirlGamerShay\/status\/1298694613948076035?s=20 \u201cAlready got a f***ed up family,\u201d she tweeted. \u201cWhat\u2019s left for me.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/GirlGamerShay\/status\/1298697932942774272?s=20 Thus far, Shay has yet to update fans and critics as to her condition, hearkening to a similar scenario regarding the backlash around streaming star Alinity Divine, who admitted that the hate she received after tossing her cat over her head made her consider suicide. LosPollosTV has since retracted his original tweets calling out Shay. Stay tuned to Dexerto for more on this developing story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
