He notably rose to prominence in 2022 after gaining half a million followers in January of that year. Since then, elxokas has continued to garner fans due to his \u201cunfiltered personality\u201d and the wide variety of content he streams \u2014 but recent comments he made during a February 13 broadcast are sparking dissent online. Elxokas was in the middle of streaming when he made some comments about his success as a streamer before diving into remarks about higher-weight people, calling them \u201clazy\u201d and \u201cundisciplined.\u201d Twitch streamer elxokas under fire for \u201cfatphobic\u201d comments \u201cIn my life I\u2019ve met a lot of talented people\u2026 a lot of them. Now, do you know why I haven\u2019t met as many winners? Because people are not disciplined. In my job, I\u2019ve shared my time with people who were way more talented than me, way more talented than me, but they wouldn\u2019t put effort [into] anything,\u201d he said, via a verified translation. \u201cAnd most of you guys that want to lose weight but are unable to do so, it\u2019s because you are undisciplined and f*cking lazy. That\u2019s the problem you guys have. It\u2019s not an illness nor a genetic problem, 90% of you guys is because you are f*cking lazy. You can blame anybody you want, but the reality is what I\u2019m telling you right now. You\u2019re f*cking lazy and undisciplined, and that\u2019s why you don\u2019t achieve goals.\u201d Elxokas\u2019s remarks have sparked a debate online, with many viewing his words as \u201cfatphobic.\u201d \u201cNo, being overweight is not [from] being lazy,\u201d one netizen said in a viral Twitter thread. \u201cThere are multiple factors that explain why a person may be overweight. Economic, social, genetic factors, depression problems, anxiety\u2026\u201d However, the streamer is also seeing a swath of support from his fanbase who agree with his views, with some arguing that a popular clip of his stream was taken out of context. \u201cVictimism is the worst of our generation,\u201d one fan wrote. \u201cLuckily 90% of people have decent genetics, and if they don\u2019t lose weight it\u2019s because they don\u2019t control their impulses. Being in good shape is as simple as returning to the habits your body was built to practice.\u201d El victimismo lo peor de nuestra generaci\u00f3n. Por suerte el 90% de las personas poseen una gen\u00e9tica decente, y si no adelgazan es porque no controlan sus impulsos. \u2014 Javier Alonso Berlanga (@alonso_berlanga) February 15, 2023 Tener una buena forma es tan sencillo como volver a los h\u00e1bitos para los que tu cuerpo fue creado. Thus far, it doesn\u2019t seem as though Elxokas has responded to the debate sparked by his remarks \u2014 but this isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s come under fire. In March 2022, the streamer faced some criticism after it was discovered he had a separate Twitter account he used to argue with his critics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
