"Streamers aren't real" - Fans react as Plaqueboymax ignores wildfire alert while getting haircut on stream

Twitch streamer and FaZe Clan member Max "Plaqueboymax" has faced some criticism for his supposed dismissive approach towards warnings. For context, Los Angeles is facing a crisis due to many suburbs catching fire. As per reports, at least five people have lost their lives. During Max's latest stream, he received a warning to evacuate the FaZe mansion. In response, he said he wanted to get a haircut:

"I'm waiting for my keys. Trust me, I'm not aura-farming. I just had to get a cut. I'd be mad if I told the barber, who drove all this way, to get me a crispy a** lineup in this condition. I gotta finish this lineup."

This clip was shared on the popular r/LivestreamingFail subreddit, which garnered several critical comments against the FaZe Clan member. Here are some comments in the thread:

"Streamers aren’t real lmao," said u/Ashman-20

"They are actually all AI and dead internet theory is real. Think about it like this; have you ever seen a streamer in real life?" said u/HoodedRedditUser

"This guy did get out ultimately a few minutes ago. Faze House might burn down but all of them got out during the evacuation," said u/vmanAA738

"No way his crooked a** hairline is more important than his life," said u/Fit_Refrogerator1343

"Sounds like some dumb sh*t a streamer would do," said u/mok3rz

"I apologize for making it unserious" - Plaqueboymax responds to criticism amid LA wildfires

Los Angeles has been grappling with a wildfire since January 8, 2025. Several suburbs, including the area where the FaZe house is located, were issued evacuation orders. However, Plaqueboymax initially displayed a rather nonchalant attitude toward the warnings.

He, along with other members of the FaZe house, eventually evacuated the premises. While leaving, Plaqueboymax apologized for his earlier attitude. He said:

"I cam on this b*tch (stream) to get a haircut. Imma keep it fully honest with y'all. I didn't know that it was this serious. Once I saw my mom call and all that, this sh*t is very serious. So, I apologize for making it an unserious situation 'cause it is not. Make sure if you're in Cali, you get to safety."
