xQc explains why he believes a 19-year-old dating a 17-year-old is wrong
The 27-year-old personality was seven hours into his broadcast when he was playing CS: GO with Pokelawls. He mentioned having a conversation with his Twitch chat and elaborated:
"Okay, here's a major stun-lock. Okay? Chat was being really weird about this. Let's say some guy is 19, and he is dating someone who's 17. Thoughts? ...Thoughts? I do not think that's fine. I don't think that's fine! I don't think that's fine."
A few moments later, Felix explained why he thought a 19-year-old dating a 17-year-old was inappropriate. He claimed that the former has a completely different set of "tools and knowledge" than the latter, resulting in a "major imbalance":
"Somebody who has been out of school, out and about in the real life, in the f**king workplace and outside, doing whatever the f**k... at 19, has a complete different set of tools and knowledge that somebody who is in high school (and) 17 does not have. It creates a major imbalance. That's my thoughts."
