With over 330,000 subscribers on her gaming account and a further 145,000 on a broader second channel, YouTuber Melonie Mac is a self-described social commentator known for posting gaming, anime, and tech-related content. A devout Christian, Melonie hasn\u2019t shied away from making homophobic comments in the past. She previously compared being gay to playing in traffic, stating \u201cit goes against nature\u201d. Now, the YouTuber is once again angering fans online, this time by posting homophobic slurs to her Twitter account. Melonie\u2019s Twitter saga began on June 19 after she retweeted a post about streamer xQc\u2019s rise to fame. Posted by the account \u2018YourFellowArab\u2019, the original Tweet mentions xQc calling someone a homophobic slur when the streamer first started out. \u201cRemember that next time you think getting canceled is real,\u201d Arab said, referencing xQc\u2019s historic $100 million deal with Kick from earlier this week. Melonie shared the tweet, captioning it with a repetition of xQc\u2019s previously used slur. She then followed up with another tweet saying \u201cI\u2019m going to bed, if I get banned tomorrow just follow me on [Instagram]. [You only live once]. Goodnight f***.\u201d Seemingly unbothered by the backlash, the YouTuber has since been called out for her homophobic posts. Nel, The Internet\u2019s dad, who goes by the Twitter handle \u2018Nelstar15\u2019, shared that he would be removing any mutuals who followed the controversial YouTuber. Other Twitter users were equally critical with the Tweets, with one posting, \u201cCan\u2019t remember the last time I saw someone go this hard off the deep end.\u201d Another shared, \u201cShe blocked me for politely pointing out where the Bible doesn\u2019t endorse being a loudmouth j*** to [people].\u201d Discussing the LGBTQ+ community on a live stream, Melonie has previously stated \u201cIt\u2019s a contagion.
