xQc wants fans to avoid mixing in-game behavior and streaming persona with actual life

During one of his latest live streams, xQc clarified that he’ll have no take on Sinatraa’s situation before all the perspectives attached to it become public. Furthermore, he will wait for legal action because he knows that his statements directly affect the opinion of millions of fans around the world.

“I am afraid. I don’t want to turn you guys from one side to another possibly wrongfully,” said xQc while addressing his fans.

However, xQc talked about people judging the real-life character of online celebrities based on their on-stream/in-game toxicity. The streamer feels that it’s a zero head take, as activities like tea bagging in games have no connection to a creator’s actual life.

Lastly, xQc outright mentioned that Sinatraa’s current situation should not be treated as a drama.

“If somebody, or something happens, where’s there’s accusations of possible sexual misconduct, that’s not drama. That’s like a level further, that’s like legal s**t dude! That’s like the law and it’s a level way further.”

Another former Overwatch pro and Twitch streamer named Farmer Dafran requested fans to wait for Sinatraa’s side of the story. He then ranted about “E-girls”.

Following Dafran’s claims, Pokimane stepped into the conversation and criticized him for his negative remarks based on gender.

“He’s completely ignoring the fact that he ultimately based this off of her gender. He’s not saying ‘oh, be careful who you believe on the internet’, he’s specifically saying ‘she is a woman, therefore, be careful because they will trick you,'” said Pokimane.
