"You all have a brain that works" - Nmplol and Malena's strong response to a viewer who lost thousands of dollars garners attention
Gambling and opening loot boxes on Twitch has been a hot topic of discussion, with many community members expressing their concerns about the content's impact on an impressionable audience. After the Slots category became one of the most-watched genres on the platform, Twitch banned some of the biggest gambling websites that streamers like Felix "xQc" and Tyler "Trainwreckstv" used to promote.
However, In-game gambling, such as opening loot boxes, is still widely livestreamed on Twitch. On May 11, Nmplol and Malena received a confession from a viewer named Jeffery, who claimed:
"I bought cases instead of paying my mortgage because of Nick (-$4.3k)."

Malena slammed the viewer, saying that she and Nick did not force them to "do s**t":
"Nah! We didn't make you do s**t! You can blame us all you want."
After taking "zero responsibility" for the fan's loss of thousands of dollars, the One True King (OTK) member said that "everyone" in the community was old enough to make rational decisions because they have a "brain that works":
"Everyone in this community... is old enough to make their own decisions. You all have a brain that works. Okay? (Malena asks if Nmplol is sure about the statement he's made) And you should be able to not waste all your money on cases. Okay? And be able to pay your mortgage. If you have a mortgage, you should be able to make the right decision. I feel zero responsibility for it! Yeah."
