Tubbo & Ranboo put Sapnap on blast for taking Kick deal Twitch: Tubbo\/RanbooMinecraft content creators Ranboo and Tubbo have hit out at Sapnap\u2019s move to Kick, stating that it\u2019s not a safe platform for his followers. At the end of 2022, Kick hit the radar of many streamers and content creators at a time when they were having plenty of issues with Twitch. The Stake-backed platform has been splashing the cash on a whole host of different streamers, signing big names like xQc and Hikaru to massive non-exclusive deals. Though, there has also been plenty of criticism given that the platform is owned by a gambling company and they\u2019ve put their support behind Adin Ross \u2013 who has constantly come under fire for controversial comments. Kick\u2019s own CEO has admitted to Adin being a \u201cbrand risk\u201d as well. Minecraft star Sapnap has become the latest big name to join Kick, leaving behind a Twitch channel with over 3 million followers. However, he\u2019s drawn criticism from Tubbo and Ranboo for taking his audience to that platform. Ranboo & Tubbo hit out at Sapnap for signing Kick deal Shortly after the move was announced, Ranboo had been conducting a Q&A session on his Tumblr page and reiterated his stance that he doesn\u2019t support any creator moving to Kick \u2013 and he himself would not leave YouTube for it. \u201cI don\u2019t respect any creator that joins that platform if they are aware of what happens on that platform. Nothing more to add to it. It is about money at the end of the day no matter how you try to spin it. And that\u2019s sad that people are willing to put the safety and wellbeing of their community at risk and support what happens there for a high enough figure,\u201d Ranboo said. \u201cI mean for Christ\u2019s sake if the CEOs cared about making their platform safer they would have. Just say you want money and go. I could go more into it but honestly, it just makes me really f*cking sad so ill leave it at that. Please do not support creators that join Kick.\u201d In Tubbo\u2019s case, he addressed the move during his own stream, and was on the same lines of Ranboo for criticizing the move in that Kick isn\u2019t safe for Sapnap\u2019s fans. \u201cSapnap, I\u2019m just going to say it frankly. The majority of Sapnap\u2019s demographic is people in communities such as LBTQIA+, younger demographic, and stuff like that. I feel like this platform is not a safe place to be openly trans, openly Jewish, not a safe place to be black for example, it\u2019s insane,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s great that you want to spearhead positive change, but also with such a large and powerful voice you have and so much good you could do with that voice, it\u2019s best you\u2019re more responsible with where you want to bring your community and you have a responsibility to protect them.\u201d As noted, Sapnap stated that he wants Kick to be \u201cwelcoming to everyone\u201d and himself wants to \u201ccontribute to positive change\u201d on the platform. It ultimately remains to be seen if that\u2019ll be the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
