Twitter reacts as Minecraft star Dream rants about “toxic shippers”

Dream’s interactions with his Minecraft community are always a treat to witness. The popular streamer and YouTuber recently tweeted, addressing the "toxic shippers" within his community. As always, the streamer's sense of humor revealed itself as the tweet ended hilariously with a contradictory statement.

Dream has been quite active on Twitter ever since his YouTube videos blew up. He has addressed his Twitter audience on various occasions, from hyping up his latest Minecraft Manhunt video to sending out ominous and funny tweets about possible GeorgeNotFound meetups.

"I'm also toxic": Minecraft streamer Dream has mixed feelings towards "toxic shippers"

The tweet started off with an air of seriousness around it, as Dream spoke about people not liking the Dream community because of certain members known as "toxic shippers." Shipping is essentially the process of supporting or romantically linking two people or, more accurately, fictional characters, which is generally done by the fanbase itself rather than the artist.

Apparently, shipping is quite a common practice around the Dream SMP and its members. However, one of the most shipped pairs in the Minecraft community right now is Dream and GeorgeNotFound, collectively known as "DreamNotFound" or "DNF". Other ships include Dream and Sapnap (DreamNap), George and Sapnap (GeorgeNap), and more.

While the tweet was seemingly joking around, toxicity is a real problem on social media, especially on platforms like Twitter and Reddit. The Dream community has seen tons of toxicity in the past, which Dream has addressed multiple times. An example of this can be seen in tweets from Dream addressing "Dream stans" and Dream haters.

Referring to himself as "toxic," Dream went on to explain how he ships himself with his own friends. To finish off the tweet, he attempted to defuse some of the built-up tension in the first section of the tweet using an amusing line.

"eat s*** but also you’re perfect the way u are you little munchkin hater ily"

Aside from the tweet, Dream posted another tweet at around the same time as this one, which he jokingly captioned as "BUY MY NFT". The picture uploaded with the tweet showed his phone's "Notes" application, with the word "DNF" typed up, which obviously referred to the ship between him and GeorgeNotFound.
