Trainwrecks hits out at \u201cjealous\u201d & \u201cratty\u201d streamers criticizing him for gambling Twitch: Trainwrecks \/ UnsplashTwitch entertainer Tyler \u2018Trainwrecks\u2019 Niknam has defended his gambling streams once again, hitting out at \u201cjealous\u201d streamers he believes are seeking to drag him down. It seems that the Twitch community is divided at the moment, with half focusing on suggestive and potentially inappropriate content, and the other half focusing on gambling and whether it\u2019s morally right to promote to large audiences, particularly impressionable viewers. The controversy over the latter has centered around streamers being sponsored by gambling companies and games. Of course, this offsets the risk of financial loss that most will experience from gambling. Opinion seems split on the matter. Asmongold has urged the platform to completely ban gambling streams while others, like Trainwrecks, have defended their streams and encouraged viewers to watch rather than participate. Speaking in a June 26 Twitch stream, Niknam again defended his streams, and suggested that those criticizing him are jealous and trying to drag him down. \u201cIt\u2019s the same goddamn sh*t every goddamn year,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like these people wanna keep me in this category where everyone else is here [above] and I\u2019m here [below] and everything\u2019s cool and peaceful. But then as soon as sh*t flops we got people jumping ship Minecraft style. And outta nowhere, out of some insecurity and jealousy, dropping some bullsh*t and flippin sides. Weird, weird.\u201d \u201cSome of these people saying the things they\u2019re saying,\u201d he continued, \u201clike streamers, with the information that\u2019s out there I understand why they\u2019re playing that narrative but with what I know of their deals and how they behave, I just know how f**king ratty they\u2019re acting.\u201d Twitch does not generally comment on disputes until it has decided on a concrete course of action. Gambling is permitted on Twitch, although the platform\u2019s terms of service do govern certain aspects of gambling content. The debate will rage on, but it\u2019s clear that Trainwrecks believe some of the criticism is hypocritical and rooted in jealousy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
