A social media/ influencer au told entirely through tweets, texts, reddit posts, and twitch chat

Chapter 1: cancelled

Notes:

i watch a lot of twitch so this is the results of that. ENJOY!

Dynamight is a twitch streamer who is known for having a short temper, going on rants, and raging at games. Today he did a "try not to cringe" challenge where viewers submitted videos for him to react to on stream and if he cringed at them he had to do a punishment.

The problem occurred when someone submitted an out of context clip from Red Riot, a lifestyle and fitness YouTuber's workout video where he is showing a friend and workout beginner how to do squats and RR touches the other man's legs to show him where he should be using his muscles.

When DM watched this he visibly got grossed and out paused the video. He then said "ok I'll take my vinegar shot as long as I don't have to watch that. A bit too fucking fruity."

These comments obviously show he is homophobic and now people are calling on twitch to ban him and informing others not to watch his content.

Ok yeah twitch should ban dynamight but also Red Riot needs to address the queerbaiting allegations he is obviously straight but every time he has a guy on his channel he is overly flirty with them. That is not ok

quick show me where Kiri has ever said he is straight. God you people need to stop throwing the word queerbait around so freely. He is a person, not a corp he should be able to flirt with his friends (seriously or as a joke) without being canceled

Bakugo and Kiri follow each other and have for a long time you guys don't know everything about these peoples real lives they are probably friends. The mods vetted the vids I'm sure if Baku was actually homophobic his mods wouldn't have included that vid.

I agree with most of this but homophobes love to make fun of and be grossed out by gay people so that doesn't exactly clear him imo

I'm doing this over text cause I know you probably don't want me to even ask but are you okay? It can be hard to have this many eyes on you especially when they’re mad at you

I'm fine.

You know Kats it’s manly to talk about your feelings

Stop. I’m fine.

Are you going to stream today?

No.

You wanna go on a date?

Sure.

So not a lot of people are talking about dynamight being homophobic anymore but we can't let this slide under the rug. He knows he did something wrong, he use to stream every day but in the 5 days since his homophobic comments he hasn't streamed at all and he only tweeted that one joke apology

Ok, I was asked not to tweet about it but now it's gone too far. Katsuki, Denki, and I are all friends we have been for years. Kats JOKEINGLY made fun of Denki and I’s workout video for 10 seconds on stream. I don't care. Denki doesn't care. We all live together and have been joking about the backlash privately all week.

I am the one who told Katsuki not to stream for a little while so everything could cool down. He wanted to but I didn’t want misguided fans of mine to go to his chat and harass him. Twitch banning Katsuki this long after the stream feels like they only did it to appease the Twitter mob. Twitch has never handed out bans evenly but this feels ridiculous to me.

I hope that if you are a fan of mine and you have harassed Katsuki, my closest friend in the world, this past week you take some time to reflect on why you thought attacking someone, AFTER I tweeted and said it didn’t matter, was a good thing to do.

If you take anything from this it should be that you don't know these streamers or youtubers you watch. And you need to always think about your actions even if it's just words you send to someone you don't know online.

Notes:

i have 3 chapters planned so far but this is so fun to write I'm going to do a bunch more, the only problem is it takes forever to format so I hope you all like how visually appealing it is. I have plans for characters that haven't even made a vague appearance in this chapter so get ready for that. (but i hope you saw mina and shoto trending they will arrive soon) new chapters will be posted once a month (hopefully) please lmk what you all think of this chapter; leave a comment and kudos

follow me on socials:
tumblr // twitter

also because Bakugo isn't the drummer of the band I'm trying to think of someone else to replace him I think I'm going to make it Shoji because I love him and he would be a cool drummer but please lmk who you think would be a good fit.

also also tokoyami having a bird head even tho this is a no quirks au will be explained
