In the Twitch stream, BaboAbe said he’s been having a rough few months, but has made the necessary steps to focus on his health. Meanwhile, many of their viewers and friends, including the likes ofPokimane, QTCinderella, and Kyedae, have sent them their love and support online.
It’s common for fans in the streaming space to follow their favorite creators' relationships. Most of the time, the fan reactions and interactions can be wholesome as they simply show their support. However, some even go as far as trying to dox certain streamers' partners. An example of this wasPokimane and her rumored secret boyfriend, despite the streamer saying multiple times that she would never share her romantic relationships publicly.
There have also been messy fights and breakups that many Twitch viewers had to witness live. This included the likes ofAmouranth revealing her abusive relationship with her ex-husband, and the heated arguments between xQc and Adept when they were still together. Regardless of the information that creators have shared publicly, it’s still important for many fans to respect their boundaries, and not send hurtful comments to the other party in “support” of their faves.
