American YouTube veteran Steven "Boogie2988" appears to have joined the current trend of using black box "meta" on the Twitch platform. For those not familiar, many streamers, especially females, have been employing black boxes on their screens to conceal their topless bodies during livestreams. This has already caused a lot of uproar within the community, and Twitch has banned some of these NSFW streamers.
In an attempt to mock the situation, the YouTuber shocked everyone by employing the same tactic. However, he quickly realized that due to his substantial weight, the black box was unnecessary, as his fat effectively obscured his privates.
Naturally, the video quickly went viral, particularly on X. One user remarked:
"This has traumatised me."
