The ongoing controversy involving Felix "xQc" appears to have taken a new turn after he ended his stream after a couple of SSB streamers (Adin Ross' friends) made some homophobic and transphobic slurs. For context of what has been going on, there was a recent clip that went viral which featured Felix jocularly kissing fellow streamer AustinShow.

Furthermore, during a stream on April 20, 2024, Felix had a heated argument with Adin Ross on the topic of transgenders and homosexuality. Despite the disagreement, both xQc (along with Omie and Tyler "Trainwreckstv") and Adin (with Cameron "Cuffem," and Shnaggyhose) returned to streaming together today (April 22).

Amid the ongoing back and forth between the two groups, both Cuffem and Shnaggyhose made some offensive remarks. Felix's friend Omie ended up being on the receiving end of one too. This naturally upset the streamer, who decided to leave the call. He said:

"It's about the people that watch me that I care about, my community. When you're not somebody who hasn't built anything or hasn't gone anywhere, when you're a loser and bottom of the barrel, you don't know what that is. I'm not gonna let these people take over and say sh*t to my people. I'm not gonna do that."

He added:

"When you build your community, if you wanna harass and say dumb sh*t to them and hurt them, you do that. You haven't built sh*t."

"That should be the line" - Trainwreckstv goes off on Adin Ross' friends for their offensive remarks

Trainwreckstv, who is a co-owner of Kick and a friend to both Adin Ross and xQc, hit the roof over the situation and took Shnaggyhose and Cuffem to task for their derogatory language, even after xQc had bowed out of the stream. Addressing them, he said:

"He doesn't mean it in a homophobic way. Does it justify it? No. But he doesn't mean it in a homophobic way. I said that. Buy when Shnaggy is using the F-word to describe a gay person that is not okay. That should be the line."

Adin Ross however appeared to be more sympathetic towards his friend Shnaggyhose, stating:

"If you guys get Shnaggy riled up, he's gonna be Shnaggyhose. Everyone knows that. You guys called him fat and broke. He's gonna obviously hold his ground."

Trainwreckstv responded:

"Holy sh*t. As if you're comparing 'fat' and 'broke' to that sh*t, that's crazy. Buddy, they said I'm an h**oin addict. So if anything, me saying he's broke and fat is way less than (saying) a h**oin addict. Stop playing the victim."

The group proceeded with their plan to play Call of Duty, as originally intended when xQc was still present. It was supposed to be a 5v5 showdown between xQc's team and Adin Ross'. However, it seems that Felix was left feeling upset and decided to end the stream. Fans will have to stay tuned to see what comments he makes next about the issue.
