xQc supports homophobic rant by Adin Ross, calls it ‘justified’

Popular streamer xQc once again finds himself amidst controversy, this time for supporting another stream named Adin Ross, who recently went on a homophobic rant against an individual who messed with Ross’ fellow kick streamer TrainwrecksTV.

Multiple people had their take and so did xQc who announced that he was in full support for Adin Ross regarding his comments. As per xQc if someone threatens to harm someone’s life then ‘everything is on the table’.

“If you threaten somebody's life, I don't give a fuckk, you can tell whatever you fucking want... Okay?” he said further adding, “When you harm somebody, there's nothing you can do. They're basically harmed, and there's no going back. When you say some words, there's only so much it can achieve.”

Ross’ rant was pretty intense, with the streamer making homophobic and self-harm comments to the individual. Including comments like “Kill yourself, please die”, “complete fucking retard” and calling the person a ‘faggot’. The internet was riled up with ant the clip going viral, with most people calling out Ross in his comments.

This escalated situation was the result of an individual visiting TrainwrecksTV on Kick during a live stream, where the streamer and the person got into an argument regarding the gambling streams.

xQc criticized for his support, addresses the matter

As usual, xQc defending Adin Ross was now also in the crossfire of people who called out to him for supporting this behaviour. People also pointed out that he was once banned from the Overwatch League for homophobic comments during his time as a pro player.

He later on addressed his support, claiming he was caught up in the moment and claimed he was unaware of what people were angry about. “My bad. Sorry, guys. Guys, I got so caught up with the video, chat, I thought you were mad about the KYS thing, not the F-word thing,” he said. Looking at the argument further, he labelled the viewer’s criticism on TrainwrecksTV as ‘victimized bullshit’
