"Risking his life for content": Fans react as IShowSpeed barks at a Tiger during IRL Thailand stream

IShowSpeed is currently in Thailand as part of his Southeast Asia tour, and his time there has been packed with action. In just two days of streaming, Speed added 200,000 new subscribers. His time in the country started with a bang. Within the first hour of going live, the streamer crashed an auto rickshaw and fought a professional Muay Thai fighter.

Adding to this, on the second day of his Thailand visit, Speed visited a zoo named Tiger Park in Pattaya City and had the opportunity to pet a tiger. The streamer was visibly excited as he walked up to the animal, and was explicitly directed not to touch the animal above its back.

Speed was relatively comfortable with the tiger, even resting his head on it while petting it gently. Occasionally he would step back when the animal made a noise and at one point, the tiger growled and the streamer barked back with ferocity.

Fans reacted to the incident on X, and some like @royal_bobby24 spoke on the streamer's daring intent behind producing content:

"WTF is wrong with Speed 😭 bro [is] risking his life for content".

@KaliMuscle said Speed may not always be fortunate in these wild interactions:

"He’s going to have to learn the hard way!"

IShowSpeed's barking has become a viral sensation and a signature part of his streaming personality. For example, Speed had a “bark-off” with a South Korean police officer during his visit to the country. The officer even apologized for the interaction, which many found humorous.
