The German Twitch streamer, Killian “Tanzverbot” Heinrich, explained in a Twitch stream how he and the streamer QuiteLola got together. But apparently, this triggers a small crisis. Because he suggests that the woman is only with him because he is so successful on YouTube.
What does he say? In a stream from October 31, Tanzverbot and QuiteLola were apparently in a Halloween mood, they were putting makeup on each other in front of the camera.
It seemed to be relaxed, and Tanzverbot cheerfully read a message from the chat aloud:
“Hey Tanzi, how did you manage to find a woman like Lola?” Well, I have a million subscribers on YouTube. Ha … let’s move on, okay?
How does Lola react? Meanwhile, Lola closed her eyes and seemed to take a deep breath. When Tanzverbot turned to her, he realized something was wrong, asking: “Did I say something wrong?”, but Lola simply replied “Uncomfortable” and changed the subject.
Apparently, it becomes clear to Tanzverbot at that moment that he implied that Lola is only with him because he is “famous”.
Tanzverbot seems to want to salvage the situation, saying: “That was just a joke. I know that we feel more for each other” – but he hits a brick wall.
“We don’t need to talk about feelings on stream now,” he gets as a professional response.
Clip goes viral on TikTok: Does success make men more attractive?
Why is this so interesting? A TikTok clip of this moment has now garnered over 1.1 million views and almost 700 comments (via tiktok).
This is a topic that has been subtly discussed in society at all levels. Even in the Twitch universe, it’s a topic: Does success make men attractive to women?
This is a topic that US comedian Bill Burr touched on in a famous stand-up routine: Successful athletes like Tiger Woods couldn’t escape attractive women throwing themselves at him (via youtube).
Because that’s exactly what Tanzverbot seems to imply with a statement: An attractive woman is only interested in him because he is successful.
The discussion reflects this topic:
- Male TikTok users say Tanzverbot is a “realist”, which is good. People believe that a woman like Lola is indeed only with him because he is so successful. He is “down to earth”.
- Others say: That is a superficial way to look at it. Lola and Tanzverbot have a lot in common, such as sharing a dry sense of humor.
- For many, the situation is actually just “uncomfortable.”
In the same situation as Tanzverbot were two major American Twitch streamers. Both Fortnite pro Tfue, as well as WoW nerd Asmongold were at times with Instagram influencers or beauty streamers: at first glance very unusual couples.
In both cases, the relationships did not last long. The women preferred to live in exciting cities like Los Angeles, while the two streamers wanted to stay in their respective comfort zones where they grew up.
There was a big discussion around Asmongold. He shouldn’t even have a girlfriend, because that would mean he would lose contact with the fans, as they are also single:
