xQc and Forsen's communities clash after former sets new Minecraft record

There has been a clash between fans of two popular Twitch streamers, Felix "xQc" and Sebastian "Forsen," with discussions taking place on various forums, such as the popular r/LivestreamFail subreddit. To provide context, Felix and Forsen have endured a friendly rivalry regarding Minecraft speedrun records. The former recently set a new record of 16 minutes and 38 seconds, surpassing Forsen's previous figure of 18 minutes and 10 seconds.

Naturally, Forsen attempted to break his Canadian rival's record in a recent stream, but some of his fans made unsavory comments targeting the latter. These comments included personal remarks, such as mockingly mentioning Felix's ex-wife, Adept.

Here's what xQc and Forsen's community had to say

Georgie "Pokelawls," a Canadian Twitch streamer who recently collaborated with xQc, noticed the toxic comments and criticized Forsen's fans for not accepting the loss graciously. He also pointed out that the fans resorted to making personal remarks, stating:

"Wow, are they so angry that they have to get personal, with xQc's personal life in the chat? That's some sad sh*t when you lose so bad that you have to like, say sh*t like that. That's crazy. That's very cruel."

The video clip was swiftly shared on the LSF subreddit, resulting in many comments. Several users noted that Forsen's fanbase has always been known for such behavior, and as an experienced Twitch streamer, Pokelawls should have been aware of this fact. Here are a few comments:

Some comments argued that Forsen's chat spamming Adept's name was not particularly offensive, as there have been instances of other streamers getting mocked for various reasons. For instance, Dr DisRespect was involved in a controversy regarding his infidelity, which resulted in him being targeted by trolls. One user wrote:

It's worth noting that Forsen's community is quite different from the average American streamer's fanbase. As Forsen is Swedish, his fans likely have different perspectives and viewpoints.

It is unlikely that either streamer will address the situation on their streams. Whether Forsen manages to break xQc's Minecraft record and set a new one remains to be seen.
