xQc defends YouTubers with \u201cedgy\u201d history amid iDubbbz controversy Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has defended YouTubers who have \u201cedgy\u201d content in their past amid the ongoing drama around iDubbbz\u2019s apology over his previous videos. Over the last few years, a number of high-profile YouTube stars have cleaned up parts of their empire with apologies and outright removal of previous videos. These videos, which might have shot them to stardom a few years ago, have gone increasingly under the microscope due to the language used at the time. On May 18, iDubbbz became the latest to apologize for his old videos, calling them \u201ccruel\u201d and \u201churtful\u201d at points, and even apologizing directly to Tana Mongeau for \u201charassing\u201d her in those old uploads. The \u2018Content Cop\u2019 star caught some flak for apologizing but stated that he only cared for the responses of those communities he was saying sorry to. Though, xQc has also defended him and other YouTubers who have been making these such apologies. xQc weighs in on iDubbbz apology drama iDubbbz\u2019s apology was the subject of a part of xQc\u2019s May 21 stream as some fans urged him to give his take on what has gone down. \u201cI think doing the apology or not, I think it\u2019s fine either way and I think that\u2019s about it,\u201d xQc said about the apology before giving a bigger picture view of things. \u201cI zoomed out and I realized that if that\u2019s something you need from people, then you should have every creator apologize for almost all of their videos that were uploaded in times of 2012 to 2020. Pretty much, almost all the uploads. All of the old skits and you want them to apologize for every single one of their videos. All of them.\u201d He also mentioned different YouTubers who have also got that \u201cedgy\u201d content in their back catalog, and how its not just a handful of big names. \u201cMost YouTubers did something, like, edgy s*it at the time. Almost every YouTuber. At least, one of their uploads, of like, some edgier content. That\u2019s how it is!\u201d It remains to be seen if any others will follow in iDubbbz\u2019s footsteps, but his fans have been on board with his apologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
