xQc lashes out at Twitch fans expecting him to be a role model: \u201cI\u2019m here to have fun\u201d Twitch: xQcFollowing the backlash over his return to sponsored gambling streams on Twitch, xQc lashed out at fans expecting him to be a role model, telling them to find one elsewhere. On May 17, xQc hosted a sponsored gambling stream on Twitch for the first time since stopping in June 2021. He claimed viewers online \u201cpick and choose\u201d when it\u2019s an issue, and since he loves gambling, he was just going to do it regardless of any criticism. However, after more backlash started brewing over his decision, he lashed out, reminding fans he isn\u2019t here to be a role model for them, and if they expect that from him, to find one elsewhere. \u201cEvery day, it\u2019s a new complaint, a new problem,\u201d said xQc in a post on Discord, pointing to the outrage over him playing an online crane game as an example. Many slammed him for \u2018wasting\u2019 money on what they claimed is a scam. As for those who called him out for changing his stance and going from one extreme to another, he said: \u201cI\u2019m not a hypocrite. I literally changed my perspective and voiced that very clearly over the last few months. \u201cI\u2019m not here to be a role model. I\u2019m here to have some fun, so I\u2019ll do it until it becomes boring. Turn the computer off and go speak with your parents and peers if you want a role model for your moral compass.\u201d He also claimed that fans who are \u201cgenuinely hurt\u201d by him doing the things he wants to do on stream, regardless of what it is, \u201cprobably shouldn\u2019t be watching streams\u201d at all if it affects them on an emotional level. xQc (in offline chat) on gambling. pic.twitter.com\/QHTn2tZqTp \u2014 xQcUpdates (@xQcUpdates) May 17, 2022 xQc concluded his statement by taking back his apology for gambling on stream in the first place. \u201cI apologized because people led me to believe there was a problem. I was wrong. There isn\u2019t any problem. Sorry for apologizing.\u201d However. not everyone is grilling him for his decision. Asmongold, who has spoken out against gambling streams before, defended xQc, saying: \u201cDon\u2019t hate the player hate the game. If people are malding at this, maybe make it illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
