THREE RIVERS, CALIFORNIA: Adin Ross recently found himself under scrutiny by fellow streamer Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL" for his careless response to a concerning situation. The controversy centered around Darren "IShowSpeed", who apparently unintentionally exposed himself during a live stream.
What made this incident particularly unsettling and sensitive was that Speed had only recently turned 18. Ross, known for his laid-back persona, reacted to the situation in a way that caught the attention of many, including MoistCr1TiKaL, who wasn't happy about it.
Adin Ross faces backlash from MoistCr1TiKaL
Ross brushed off Speed's situation with laughter and made light of it. He even joked about having seen IShowSpeed's genitals "thousands of times." This provoked a strong reaction from MoistCr1TiKaL, who felt compelled to address the issue in a YouTube video on Friday, August 18.
Notably, MoistCr1TiKaL's video has garnered significant attention, as it delves deep into the details of the incident related to Speed and dissects Ross' reaction. With a slightly exasperated tone, he expressed his concern and disappointment, labeling the situation as "disturbing."
It is clear that he believes there is a higher standard of behavior expected from content creators, especially when it involves such sensitive topics and individuals who are just entering adulthood.
MoistCr1TiKaL criticized fellow streamer Ross for not being more cautious when admitting to having seen Speed's genitals, especially since the latter just turned 18 this year.
"IShowSpeed just turned 18. He just turned 18 this year, and Adin is saying that he's seen his penis in person thousands of times? What the f**k!” exclaimed MoistCr1TiKaL, adding that this made it sound like Ross was "grooming him."
He continued, "Like, the only way Speed could stay your friend was if he kept showing you his w****r or something like that, with the way you are speaking about it. It is scary. That's some frightening s**t."
What happened to IShowSpeed?
Recently, Speed received a lot of flak due to his apparent inappropriate behavior on a stream where his penis was allegedly seen due to a wardrobe malfunction.
Despite Speed's recent mishap on his stream, sources have confirmed that YouTube will not take severe actions against his channel. The incident is being treated as a genuine accident, and it appears that the platform is not considering punitive measures.
Prior to the controversy, Speed had been hospitalized due to health complications during his trip to Japan. He only recently resumed streaming after returning home. This context of his recent health issues may contribute to the understanding and leniency shown by both his viewers and the platform regarding the accidental incident on his stream.
MoistCr1TiKaL's fans react to his video on IShowSpeed's situation
Soon after MoistCr1TiKaL posted his thoughts on Speed's situation, his fans made sure to let him know about their perspectives.
One user wrote, "In all fairness to ishowspeed, I hope he's doing alright after all of that. Like that's gotta be the most awkward thing for him, I kinda feel for the guy."
"YouTube did make the right decision here. But I think the only reason they did was because IShowSpeed makes the platform a lot of money. If Speed was a smaller creator and the incident still happened, I wouldn’t doubt that YouTube would perma ban him without a second thought about it," expressed one.
A user remarked, "This was clearly an accident but at the same time there should be some form of punishment because Speed's audience is primarily children like even a small 3 day suspension from streaming or something."
"Charlie getting horrifed at Aiden's response is the best part about the video," said another person reacting to MoistCr1TiKaL slamming Ross.
