"He deserves the world man" - Fans react as Dream reveals getting his ears pierced

Popular Minecraft YouTuber Clay "Dream" has acquired a new accessory, leaving fans gushing. The creator took to his Snapchat stories to share a selfie of himself posing with a brand-new ear piercing. The picture quickly traversed across the internet, prompting a host of reactions.

However, there appears to be strong discontent towards the creator as well. Many responses called out the reports for not being noteworthy enough to trend. Regardless, Dream, who is among the most recognizable names within the gaming community, was always going to provoke a lot of reactions. Seeing a sneak peek of his pierced ears, one user wrote:

Did Dream come out? Minecraft streamer tweets about "boyfriend" following ears piercing

Despite rumors, Dream has, over the years, managed to keep his private life to himself for the most part. Those familiar with the YouTuber community will know that he is often romantically associated with fellow Minecrafter George "GeorgeNotFound." But it's nothing more than a running joke within their fanbase.

Recently, however, Dream replied to one of Austin Show's Twitter pictures showing off his chiseled physique. In the comments section, he added:

Clay's response added further fodder to rumors of his sexuality. Nonetheless, it is quietly likely that the creator is simply playing along. His tweet went on to garner nearly 5k comments. Here are some of the relevant ones:

Fans expressed their fantasies about a possible George and Clay partnership; however, as mentioned earlier, chances are that their supposed relationship is only for teasing the online community.

However, responses towards Clay getting his ears pierced for the first time were mixed. While his fan base welcomed the new look, others trolled the creator for his alleged involvement in the grooming controversy in late 2022. Here are some of the notable tweets:

Dream was accused of grooming Anastasia, a former fan, who took to her Twitter account to state that she was invited to his "bedroom" and "kitchen," insinuating a possible relationship with her, who was still a minor at the time.

Following the accusatory tweets, Clay shared a Twitlonger post where he documented his side of the story, denying such allegations. He also iterated that, to his knowledge, the victim was 18 years old at the time.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
