LeafyIsHere caustic tweet draws criticism

Despite being unbanned on Twitter earlier this month, LeafyIsHere has already demonstrated his propensity for making toxic and inflammatory comments. For instance, he recently used the "F-word" in a reply to one of MrBeast's tweets.

In another instance, he trolled a selfie of Keemstar and another woman for no apparent reason, further cementing his reputation as a toxic figure on social media.

His latest tweet is just as contentious as his previous ones. In the tweet, he suggested that MrBeast facilitated Chris Tyson's gender transformation by supporting him through his hormone replacement therapy.

However, perpetuating the idea that gender identity is a choice or can be influenced by others is harmful. Such comments can cause harm and distress to those who are already vulnerable to discrimination and marginalization.

The tweet received a significant amount of criticism, with many labeling it as "cringe." Here are some of the top reactions:

Why was LeafyIsHere banned?

As previously mentioned, the YouTuber has a history of controversy. In mid-2020, he released a couple of videos targeting Imane "Pokimane", in which he made fun of her appearance, gaming abilities, and sense of humor.

He also claimed that Pokimane had a secret boyfriend and went as far as to suggest that he himself was dating her in a subsequent tweet.

His toxic behavior was finally reprimanded when his YouTube account was suspended in August 2020.

LeafyIsHere was not the only content creator to criticize MrBeast for Chris Tyson's transformation. Controversial streamer Nico "Sneako" argued that MrBeast should urge his friend to reconsider his decision.

It is crucial to acknowledge that everyone should have the freedom to express themselves and be who they truly are without fear of discrimination or judgment.
