xQc apologizes for viral Pokimane chair-sniffing \u2018joke\u2019 again amid Atrioc controversy Twitch: xQcAlmost six months after getting called out for sniffing Pokimane\u2019s chair during a stream, content creator xQc has once again apologized for the viral incident on Twitch as the recent Atrioc controversy brought it all to the surface once more. During a recent stream, xQc spoke about the recent backlash fellow content creator Atrioc has been facing after he was caught looking at deepfakes of other streamers, including the likes of Pokimane, Maya Higa, and QTCinderella. The explosive revelation has already led to many of the women involved responding with their own devastating reactions. \u201cDon\u2019t know whether to cry, break stuff, or laugh at this point,\u201d Sweet Anita said, for instance. Naturally, given the impact of the drama, many of the internet\u2019s biggest personalities have all been chiming in. When going live on January 30, xQc\u2019s chat was quick to remind him of his past controversy with Pokimane before he criticized Atrioc\u2019s situation. xQc once again took the opportunity to apologize for an incident that went viral in September 2022, where the steamer was called out for \u2018jokingly\u2019 sniffing Pokimane\u2019s chair when reacting to some of her content. Admittedly, he now recognizes the impact of this behavior and how it can influence his predominantly younger audience. \u201cIt\u2019s why that day I shouldn\u2019t have made that joke,\u201d he said. \u201cI get it, I don\u2019t have an excuse for it. It was f***ing dumb. The sniffing the f***ing char joke, maybe I shouldn\u2019t have done it.\u201d During his late September 2022 stream, xQc proceeded to move his camera towards her chair and act as though he was sniffing the bottom of the seat after she left the room. Pokimane\u2019s reaction to the video included the streamer simply yelling out \u201cew\u201d and laughing off the incident before moving on. This came shortly after xQc called out sexual harassment on Twitch, which many online said was hypocritical. \u201cI looked off-stream at the sniffing chair joke\u2026 Guys, I take it back,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was kind of f**ked. It was pretty weird. I was on no sleep. I\u2019m not going to lie to you, it was pretty weird. Don\u2019t emulate that behavior, chat. It was kind of weird. This issue has been gaining major attention online once again, as many of these female streamers are calling on male streamers as well as other media personalities to help stop the spread of these deepfake sites and the inappropriate content that they include. QTCinderella posted on Twitter that \u201cBeing seen \u2018naked\u2019 against your will should NOT BE A PART OF THIS JOB.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
