Prominent YouTuber Tyler "Wildcat" is one of many content creators to have spoken out in defense of Twitch creator Kylie "thesketchreal" after photos of an adult content creator with a strong resemblance to the streamer went viral online. These photos have since caused a flurry of speculations from netizens regarding Sketch's sexual orientation, with some believing the creator to be gay.
Subsequently, these rumors have spawned homophobic comments against Sketch. Addressing these issues, Wildcat called into question the "validity" of the claims being made as well as of the photos from which they originated.
He wrote:
"Is there any proof or validity to this Sketch OF sh**?"
"Could be AI": YouTuber Wildcat questions the validity of viral rumors of Sketch being gay
Since the start of 2024, Sketch has set himself up as a massive name within the content creation circle and the sports community of the United States. The creator has appeared in several collaborative videos with members of both communities, including fellow streamer Jynxzi, FlightReacts, former professional football player Vontaze Burfict, as well as NFL player Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner.

Thus, it is not surprising that several prominent personalities have spoken in favor of the streamer, including Tfue, McNasty, and FaZe Rug.
In his X post on July 8, 2024, Wildcat said the alleged photos of Sketch could have been generated using Artificial Intelligence and hence may be fake. He added that even if the claims of him being gay were real, Sketch was having to deal with an "insane amount" of homophobia.
He wrote:
"It barely looks like him to me, could be AI and then even if it is real, the insane amounts of homophobia is so pathetic. The speed at which potentially false info spreads now bc of algorithm and engagement baiting is absurd."
The rumors have seemingly reached far and wide in the interwebs. Many creators have reacted with shock and surprise after seeing the photos strewn about on their social media timelines. This was also specifically pointed out by Twitch streamer Rani "Stable Ronaldo" in an X post.
