Andrew Tate has received hate from popular streamer xQc, a.k.a Félix Lengyel, after the internet personality trolled a female Valorant player online. Recently, streamer Taylor Morgan put the spotlight on a shocking incident where she was explicitly threatened with s*xual assault in a Valorant lobby. In response, Andrew Tate blamed Morgan instead and claimed the solution was to ban “crybaby women” from gaming.
xQc blasted Tate in one of his recent streams, calling him a “braindead” person for his statement. It wasn’t too long until people started digging up xQc’s past as he was also once under fire for a misogynistic statement. In 2021, xQc made disturbing “misogynistic” jokes while playing the Grand Theft Auto V role-play server, NoPixel.

While streaming on Kick recently, xQc came across Tate’s X post and called him “brain dead” and “stupid.” Many female gamers have come forward to confirm that they have also experienced similar interactions in Valorant lobbies, ordering Riot Games to take the necessary steps to tackle this problem.
The gaming community blasted xQc for misogynistic jokes
There are various reasons why xQc is hated in the gaming community but Andrew Tate’s controversy has reminded players of the streamer’s misogynistic jokes. In 2021, xQc made several inappropriate jokes towards a female Twitch star. While playing on the GTA Online NoPixel server, the streamer made several “stripper” comments directed towards fellow streamer Wolfabelle, who was roleplaying as a police officer in the game.
As per GamingBible, xQc responded to the controversy by pointing out the “double standards” and insulting a woman doesn’t mean he’s a misogynist. However, his statement doesn’t change anything as all his insults were clearly directed towards Wolfabelle and not her male partner.
