Twitch\u2019s hot tub meta took the internet by storm when it started gaining traction over a month ago. It\u2019s helped some streamers blow up. However, it\u2019s also seen many others get banned, which has become a heated topic within itself. Everyone from Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel to Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys and Rachel \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter have shared their thoughts on it, while others like Ethan Klein from H3 Podcast have mocked it. Either way, the meta doesn\u2019t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. And it\u2019s set to reach new heights with the announcement of an OfflineTV stream. However, Shaperka has stolen the spotlight, for the time being at least, with her hilarious tongue-in-cheek take on the \u2018if you can\u2019t beat em,\u2019 join \u2019em\u2019 approach. She decided to do a hot tub stream humorously dressed as a splashing Magikarp, the beloved Water-type Pokemon. \u201cI became a Magikarp to compete with other hot tub streamers,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d like to note the neighbors saw me from their balcony above me, and I can imagine that angle really added something special to the view.\u201d She did everything from flexing her muscles and catching some rays to slamming down some refreshments and patting her dog. And of course, she didn\u2019t forget to use Magikarp\u2019s signature move, \u2018Splash,\u2019 to really get into the character.

They described it as \u201camazing\u201d and \u201cthe best thing ever.\u201d Overall reception to the general hot tub meta has been less than welcoming, however. In fact, the whole hot tub meta debacle has reached the point where mainstream media is covering it. Some people believe the taboo of hot tub streams makes them so successful. However, Shaperka\u2019s Magikarp is proof streamers can break away from the mold and use it to provide a good laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitch streamer uses hilarious Magikarp cosplay to \u201ccompete\u201d with hot tub meta Twitch: ShaperkaShaperka, a popular Twitch streamer with more than 100,000 followers, stepped into a hot tub wearing a hilarious Magikarp costume in an effort to \u201ccompete\u201d with other hot tub streamers.
