xQc hits back at Felicia Day after star claims Twitch promoted racist streamers Twitch: xQc\/Twitter: Felicia DayTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel hit back at actress Felicia Day after she claimed the platform promoted racist and abusive channels as she was taking a look through some streams. For years, Twitch primarily gave a home to some of the world\u2019s best gamers as they could show off their skills to a huge audience. Yet, it\u2019s changed quite a bit since then with the rise of categories like Just Chatting and Gambling. Whether you\u2019re an experienced Twitch viewer or a brand-new user, you\u2019ll be recommended different channels based on who you already follow or what categories you\u2019ve clicked on first. On September 3, actress Felicia Day claimed the platform recommended some unsavory broadcasts to her where she apparently \u201cheard the c word the n word dozens of times\u201d and \u201csaw men repeatedly screaming profanity at women.\u201d The actress said she was \u201cconfused\u201d by this given that\u2019s what was being shown to new viewers, but xQc asked for receipts. A few hours after her posts first went up, the Canadian responded asking she could prove what she was accusing rather than just putting it out without any substance. \u201cWrong on all counts, post proof or delete the tweet,\u201d he said. Day responded and noted that tweet wasn\u2019t pointed at xQc, if he\u2019d taken it that way, and that she\u2019d actually \u201claughed a lot\u201d at what she saw on his stream. However, the former Overwatch pro still wanted receipts regardless of the compliment. \u201cOh thanks! I was just wondering if you had the receipts so we could hold the people accountable for their actions,\u201d he fired back. Oh thanks! I was just wondering if you had the receipts so we could hold the people accountable for their actions. \u2014 xQc (@xQc) September 4, 2021 While other streamers and tweeters egged on the actress to fulfill xQc\u2019s request, she has yet to do so. QTCinderella even joked that Twitch \u201ccan never\u201d take the \u201cword c**t away from me\u201d in response to Day. Twitch can never take the word cunt away from me. Don\u2019t you dare try to make that happen. \u2014 QTCinderella (@qtcinderella) September 4, 2021 Twitch does give streamers the option to set up age restrictions for their streams, which means accounts aren\u2019t able to watch until they acknowledge the warning. Though, it\u2019s on the streamer to set them up and not everyone will do so, so some questionable content happens without warnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
