Valkyrae responds to backlash after calling person \u201cfruity\u201d on live stream YouTube: ValkyraeYouTube streaming star Valkyrae came under fire after using the word \u201cfruity\u201d on a broadcast in reference to a man during a game of \u2018Dating or Siblings\u2019 with friends. The game \u2018Dating or Siblings\u2019 is quite a popular one among content creators at present. As the title suggests, it tasks players with looking at a series of photos of couples and determining whether they\u2019re romantically involved or just siblings. During a recent session of \u2018Dating or Siblings\u2019 with friends, Valkyrae was under the impression that one couple were siblings, claiming that the male person in the photo might not be interested in the opposite sex. \u201cThis is siblings, right?\u201d she mused. \u201cI think Emma\u2019s right. I think he\u2019s fruity.\u201d Her use of the word to describe the man was purportedly met with backlash in her chat, as the streamer went on to address some complaints from viewers who felt the term was offensive. \u201cI also wanted to say, I saw chat was kind of freaking out about the \u2018fruity\u2019 thing,\u201d she began. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know what fruity meant. I said it because Emma said it, so I thought that it was like, a term to call someone that\u2019s gay, maybe.\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know it was a bad thing to say,\u201d the streamer continued. \u201cThat\u2019s why I stopped saying it. I hope you know that obviously, none of us have any bad intentions or meant it in a way\u2026 you know what I mean? Sorry about that if that offended anyone, but I did learn my lesson. Just wanted to be clear about that.\u201d Rae further addressed the backlash in a subsequent stream, where she also spoke on the \u201cexhausting\u201d fake drama between herself and a GTA RP streamer that had largely been engineered by fans. For now, it seems that Rae has addressed the issues and is moving on, although critics and viewers are still divided on her use of the term during her broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
