YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" has been given a special nickname in China, which the locals have adopted and have since begun associating the streamer with on Chinese social media. The streamer is nicknamed "Hyperthyroidist" in China, apparently due to his large eyes and behaviorisms, which supposedly resemble an individual with the condition.
IShowSpeed has also adopted the same name on Chinese social media websites as it allows local fans to find him easily. The streamer's handle on Bilibili, a Chinese social media app is the same as well.
Notably, IShowSpeed has been quickly gaining popularity on the Chinese internet, gaining over 45 million views on his broadcast in Shanghai, which was uploaded on Weibo. Another video showcasing Speed trying out a local dish has attained over 19 million views on Weibo.
