xQc defends Dream after he is accused of \u201cmanipulating\u201d fans Twitch: xQcOW \/ YouTube: AnthonyPadillaTwitch streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel came to the defense of Minecraft star Dream after the YouTuber was accused of manipulating his fans with a viral Twitter post. A resurfaced tweet from Minecraft creator Dream went viral on December 2 after streamer Yabbe criticized the 22-year-old for being \u201cmanipulative\u201d towards his fans. Twitch star xQc had a different take on the 2020 social media post and defended the YouTuber\u2019s message during his live broadcast. xQc defends Dream after 2020 tweets spark backlash In 2020, Dream made a tweet telling his fans he loved them. \u201cI genuinely love and care about you. Not every content creator will feel the same as me, but I\u2019m being genuine every time I say it,\u201d he wrote. The old social media post sparked backlash a year later on December 2, 2021, after streamer Yabbe called it \u201cdisgusting\u201d and an example of manipulation. xQc then defended him, stating, \u201cI think he worded it poorly.\u201d Lengyel then added that many content creators have no connection to their fans. \u201cA lot of people just make their videos and don\u2019t give a s**t about the comments or interacting with their fans,\u201d he said. \u201cThey kind of just upload and do whatever. That\u2019s what Dream means.\u201d When viewers disagreed with his take, xQc responded back and argued that YouTubers can\u2019t be compared to Twitch creators because they don\u2019t have direct interaction with their fans like streamers do every time they go live. \u201cGuys, the YouTube side is much different from the Twitch side,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is YouTube. It\u2019s NOT Twitch! Dream\u2019s message is for YouTube viewers. It\u2019s way less interactive than Twitch.\u201d Even though Dream\u2019s tweet was from 2020, the social media post sparked a new backlash from viewers and critics who claimed it was emotionally manipulative. While many took issue with the message, one person in the Minecraft star\u2019s corner is xQc \u2013 who believes that people may be over-analyzing it out of context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
