Rumble Streamer Sneako Sparks Controversy Criticizing xQc for On-Screen Kiss
Controversial Rumble streamer Nico, better known as Sneako, has stirred up a storm after publicly criticizing Twitch and Kick star Felix, widely known as xQc, for a past on-screen kiss with another man. Nico’s reaction to the viral clip has sparked debate, with many questioning his stance on LGBTQ+ issues.
During a recent stream, Sneako aired his views on the clip featuring xQc kissing fellow Twitch streamer AustinShow, labeling it as “wrong” according to his interpretation of religious teachings. He argued that it’s not homophobic to believe that men kissing men is against “God’s design” and that heteronormativity justifies such beliefs.

Sneako’s remarks didn’t stop there; he delved into a broader critique of xQc’s actions, dismissing the kiss as a mere stunt for attention. He accused xQc of using the kiss as a spectacle for entertainment, rather than an authentic expression of affection. This prompted Sneako to further question xQc’s motives and the narrative he purportedly promotes regarding masculinity and sexuality.
The Rumble streamer’s comments have drawn sharp criticism for their perceived insensitivity and lack of understanding towards LGBTQ+ issues. Sneako’s attempt to frame his viewpoint as non-homophobic fell flat for many, who viewed his rhetoric as harmful and discriminatory.
Acknowledging the sensitive nature of the topic, Sneako prefaced the airing of the clip with an apology to his audience. However, his subsequent commentary continued to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about sexual orientation, drawing condemnation from various quarters.
In response to the backlash, Sneako attempted to distance himself from accusations of homophobia, emphasizing his belief in individual autonomy while simultaneously asserting that acts like kissing between men are inherently “g*y.” This contradiction has further fueled the controversy surrounding his remarks.
Meanwhile, xQc himself has faced harassment from other streamers following the kiss, highlighting the broader issue of homophobia within online communities. His decision to leave a Call of Duty lobby after enduring homophobic slurs underscores the prevalence of discrimination in online spaces and the need for greater awareness and accountability.
As discussions surrounding Sneako’s comments continue to unfold, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in combating prejudice and fostering inclusivity in digital environments.

It’s ironic that he’s going off on xQc kissing a man but he never defended himself (from my knowledge) when everyone to this day still call him a cock????
