A Twitch streamer has urged his young viewers to steal from their parents to support him financially. But he does this not out of self-interest, but to make the children financially independent and to raise them to be “real men.”
This is what streamer FrostyMatrixTV demands: He tells people, especially children, to go out and take their mom’s or dad’s credit card. He says: It sounds like he’s just drunk or joking, but he is completely serious.
The children don’t even have to steal the credit card; they can just take it behind their parents’ backs and quickly subscribe to him.
“Show me that you have balls”
This is how the streamer justifies his demands: He says that asking for this is not wrong at all. He is not urging anyone to lose their virginity.
“I’m just getting them to be a damn man. Do things yourself. Be financially independent. I mean, that’s nothing. A sub is maybe 5 bucks. Are you kidding me? Are you still living off your parents’ allowance? Come on, wake up and show me that you have balls.”
Others criticize the presentation and production quality of the stream, saying it’s not good enough to stream professionally.
This is what it’s about: It’s clear why the clips upset some people. Because the Twitch streamer is portraying himself in a morally reprehensible role: He is trying to manipulate children and teenagers by appealing to their desire to be grown-up and independent. Meanwhile, the Twitch streamer has his own bank account in mind and undermines the authority of the parents.
Especially with Fortnite, it has already been a topic that kids steal their parents’ credit card and buy items in the shop of the game. There have likely been real incidents, but also staged YouTube videos showing kids revealing their shocked parents.
This is how the streamer sees his role: In another clip, the Twitch streamer portrays himself as “the man who tells kids what is really going on in the world.” He tells the kids the stuff that their parents are hiding from them out of fear.
Who is the streamer? FrostyMatrixTV is a relatively insignificant Twitch channel with 6,000 followers. On average, 148 people watch him when he plays games like Grand Theft Auto 5, CoD: Warzone, or Deadside.
According to his own statements, the streamer has lost his Twitch channel twice. Once it was “stolen” from him, and a second time he was banned for being too toxic.
“He should be banned for this”
Reactions are: The clip is being discussed on reddit. Users there believe that the streamer should be banned for such statements.
Others criticize the presentation and production quality of the stream, saying it’s not good enough to stream professionally.
