Some netizens stated it had to be fake. At least one Redditor familiar with the Twitch streamer’s content said he seemed out of his senses, and it’s unlikely that he could act that well.

Other viewers seemed unsure if someone could pass out that quickly. One reply pointed out that many people pass out immediately upon seeing their blood being drawn in the hospital. One netizen said that they didn’t care if it was fake, adding that it was an incredibly comical situation.

When someone faints, it’s typically for a very brief period of time. In movies, it’s often depicted as a long fainting spell, but in reality, that would cause serious brain damage from lack of oxygen in the brain.
