SonicFox claps back at PewDiePie\u2019s reaction to his Game Awards speech PewDiePie, YouTube \/ Queerty.comLegendary fighting game pro Dominique \u2018SonicFox\u2019 McLean made waves across social media due to his acceptance speech at the 2018 Game Awards. Since then, YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has weighed in on the action \u2013 but SonicFox isn\u2019t impressed with his response. PewDiePie addressed the 2018 Game Awards during an episode of \u2018Pew News\u2019 on December 11, where he brought up SonicFox\u2019s acceptance speech for winning \u2018Best Esports Player.\u2019 SonicFox took to the stage in full fursuit to accept his trophy, addressing his status as a black, gay, furry man in light of his victory. Although PewDiePie claimed that Dominique\u2019s nearly three-minute-long speech \u201cwent on for way too long,\u201d he likewise admitted that he liked the player\u2019s \u201cunapologetic\u201d nature \u2013 despite claiming that he isn\u2019t \u201cthe brightest.\u201d \u201cI kind of like how he\u2019s so unapologetic to who he is,\u201d Pewds commented. \u201c\u2026I see this guy and how he presents himself. He\u2019s 20 years old\u2026 he\u2019s clearly not the brightest.\u201d SonicFox took note of Pewd\u2019s comments and clapped back at the YouTuber in a series of savage Tweets, referencing his widely-criticized use of a racial slur during a stream in 2017. \u201cI don\u2019t really care if PewDiePie mentioned me in his video,\u201d the player wrote. \u201cHe, like many others, keep thinking my personality is being gay and black, and if that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ve missed the point already.\u201d There\u2019s also some sense of irony being called not the brightest from him when he\u2019s had his little heated gaming moment :skull::skull: \u2014 FOX | SonicFox (@SonicFox5000) December 11, 2018 \u201cThere\u2019s also some sense of irony being called not the brightest from him when he\u2019s had his little heated gaming moment,\u201d he continued. PewDiePie is currently in the midst of yet another controversy, after being linked to an Anti-Semitic channel that he promoted during a \u2018Pew News\u2019 video on December 9. PewDiePie has since denied any knowledge of the channel\u2019s problematic content, and has deleted any mention of the user from his video in response to criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
