Fortnite streamer HydraSZN has come under scrutiny for making controversial remarks about being a sexual “predator” during his streams.
A Call for Action
In a public post on August 20, a user identified as ‘yoxics’ urged Twitch to take action against HydraSZN for his unsettling jokes about being a “predator.” As evidence, yoxics shared a clip from a recent broadcast where the streamer verbally abuses another player after winning against them and then, in a controversial turn of events, labels himself a “child predator,”, claiming he “likes kids.”
Disturbing Remarks
In the shared clip, the 19-year-old streamer can be heard exclaiming, “No! I like kids! I swear to god I do, on my life I’m a little child predator.” In another clip from a different broadcast, he is heard proclaiming he was going to “f*ck a minor”.
Community Reactions
The community swiftly responded, with several individuals publicly criticizing the streamer. Comments ranged from people stating they were “not surprised” by HydraSZN's remarks to others accusing him of attempting to be edgy to attract views. The general consensus was clear - this type of behavior was unacceptable.
Demanding Action
The original poster has confirmed that they've reached out to Twitch concerning what they describe as “child endangerment”, assuring that they'll “take him down” themselves if the platform doesn't do anything. Furthermore, some have pointed out that this isn't the first time the streamer has faced backlash for similar behavior, questioning if he had previously been held accountable.
Unanswered Concerns
HydraSZN, despite being active on social media, has yet to respond or publicly acknowledge the growing criticism against him.
