Maybe you are around the same age or can remember the time at 15: It’s not exactly easy to save up for a PC or other expensive things. The young Twitch streamer NarwhalFPS managed to gather the money and bought a new PC, which ended up in their home pool a few days ago due to her father. MeinMMO reports what happened there.
This is the situation:
- The 15-year-old Twitch streamer and YouTuber NarwhalFPS shares clips or gameplay from the shooter Valorant. She also creates videos about how she solves Rubik’s cubes.
- Some videos about the Rubik’s cubes went viral: the most clicked video has 43 million views. According to her own statements, she was able to finance the PC through the advertising she runs on her videos (via Twitter).
- After her sister apparently did something to the PC and it no longer worked properly, the streamer asked her father to repair the computer. He did, but insisted that she should face her own mistakes. In his view, she broke the PC herself.
- NarwhalFPS explained the situation to her father, but he became angry and quickly threw the PC into the pool. She then published a voice message on Twitter, in which she sobbed and cried about the incident: Her father had just had a bad day at work.
Twitter users are outraged: “This makes me cry”
What do Twitter users say about it? Under NarwhalFPS’s posts, various Twitter users gather. While some are outraged, others try to help the girl.
This is the mentioned tweet from the 15-year-old:
These are the replies under the tweet:
- Nova Vannessa and many others try to help: “Don’t worry, take the entire PC apart and put the parts in a cold, dry place for a while. I threw my ex-boyfriend’s computer into our hot tub and it was fine – even after 5 weeks.”
- Neon is upset: “Crap like that makes me cry. This is so stupid because he doesn’t understand that this is your life and throwing away thousands of dollars.”
- TheOcDGamer is a father himself: “As a father myself, it hurts my heart. There are ways to teach lessons, but the only thing I see is that your father needs to learn to manage his anger. I’m so sorry.”
- Twitch streamer Jukeyz (182,000 followers) chimed in: “I’ll give you money for a new one if you want. I know how it feels because my Xbox was destroyed by someone when I was younger. I’m here if you need help.”
Time and again, the replies mention that it might help to take the components out and place them in a dry area. Many also offer the girl donations via PayPal; however, she declined the donations, stating that it was her problem and that she couldn’t accept donations.
Furthermore, her parents probably wouldn’t allow her to accept donations from Twitter users anyway. NarwhalFPS thanked everyone for their concern and willingness to help her. At the end of the day, it’s just a PC, but it’s her passion to produce content and stream.
