    IShowSpeed is an obnoxious character who has made a lot of travel videos. He yells a lot and even barks like a dog at times. He does comical stunts like jumping over large objects. He behaves like a cartoon character which came to life. I don’t really understand his videos but he keeps getting invited to countries. He even visited the Prime Minister of Albania at his government office.

      Personally can’t stand the guy’s internet persona but if it gets all the zoomers to re-evaluate billions in american propaganda about China then I guess it’s a net positive.

          The bar for irl streamers is literally underground. As long as IShowSpeed isn’t harassing randoms on the street, yelling racial slurs on public transit, and trespassing onto construction sites for content, then he’s in like the top 10%.

            Speed has absolutely been racist in the past (including mimicry of Chinese, Japanese and Cantonese languages), so he doesn’t even clear that bar. He’s also permanently banned from a number of video games for displaying an absurd amount of sexism, including threats towards women.

            warning for racism and sexism

            Twitch reportedly bans streamer after he said an influencer couldn’t ‘stop’ him from reproducing with her if they were the last people on Earth

            The streamer [Speed] asked Kash if she would “reproduce” with him if they were the last two people on Earth, and she said no, according to Dexerto and a purported screen-recording of the stream posted to Twitter Saturday.

            “If we’re the last two people on Earth, who’s gonna stop me? You’re not stopping me,” he replied, according to the purported screen-recording on Twitter, which has over 1 million views and almost 20,000 likes.

            In another purported screen-recording posted to Twitter on Saturday, the streamer called Kash a “fucking bitch.”

            IShowSpeed responds to racism allegations after star’s World Cup fan video goes viral

            The man, who looked visibly confused, says he doesn’t speak English. Speed responded by saying ‘Konnichiwa,’ a Japanese greeting, multiple times, then uttered sounds many believed mocked Cantonese and Mandarin and were therefore racist.

            The real question is, where the hell were his parents? Speed was under the age of 18 when doing this nonsense. Who lets their teenage son act like this?

              Oh please. Half this site falls over backwards to explain why 4chan was actually really cool while they were in their teenage years.
