Minecraft streamer Clay "Dream" reacted to the recent drama that seems to be unfolding between fellow creators Felix "xQc" and Thomas "TommyInnit." TommyInnit had earlier labeled xQc "cringe" for streaming with Donald Trump (referring to Adin Ross' Kick stream in August 2024). In response, xQc said that the UK YouTuber went from "d*ckriding" Dream to making "jokes to teenage girls."

Dream took note of this feud and responded with a meme of his own. He posted a picture depicting a "Dream SMP Stan" choosing between "growing up" and becoming a "r*tarded" TommyInnit fan:

Fans responded to this, seemingly interpreting this as a dig at TommyInnit's community. Some even found the meme offensive, given that he used the 'R-word.'

Here are some of the comments:

"I'm locking in my prediction that Dream becomes one of those right-wing grifter types in a few years," said @DewEnjoyer
"The canceled YouTuber to alt-right pipeline is coming yasssss," said @pk_kenzie
"Bro tryna latch onto any relevancy he can. Dream right-wing pipeline arc is upon us," said @hzjoe03
"Don’t make me call Gumball," said @breezybetter07
"Nicolas Cantu should call you the f slur again," said @TheRocketRalph

Dream responds after netizens call him out for using the 'R-word' in a now-deleted tweet

Minecraft YouTuber Dream has a history of being in controversies ranging from feuds with other creators to serious allegations of grooming. His response to the exchange between xQc and TommyInnit also drew criticism, particularly for using the "R-word."

The YouTuber addressed the criticism, in a now-deleted tweet, by disclosing that he is autistic and shared that, for years, fans have directed slurs at him or made jokes about his condition. He wrote:

"Super annoying having certain creators sh*t on me and my friends constantly when we never say anything back. You shouldn't say the word (R-word) but I'm literally autistic and the whole internet LOVED everyone calling me slurs so obviously people are being disingenuous."

Furthermore, the Minecraft YouTuber clarified that his response was not an "apology" but rather an "explanation":

"I mean this wasn’t an apology just an explanation. I posted a meme that I knew would make a lot of people mad, I’m not surprised people are mad. I don’t take what the majority of people say on Twitter seriously."

Dream had a relatively quieter 2024 compared to 2023, a year in which he faced numerous allegations, including that of grooming. One of his most viral moments was his feud with Nicolas Cantu, an American actor and internet personality.
