IShowSpeed surely doesn't have a great time lately and after his latest mishap regarding his pants, he only makes it worse with his reactions. People online should still go easy on him.
Quick recap for everyone who somehow managed to not hear about what happened or even seen it: Darren "IShowSpeed" Watkins Jr., popular streamer on YouTube, accidentally flashed his live audience of 24,000 viewers.
His biggest fear was probably losing his channel after the disastrous stream, but luckily for him, YouTube showed mercy and he's not in danger of losing his 19 million subs livelihood he built for himself. The rest of the internet isn't as kindly, though.
IShowSpeed Gets Harassed & And Can't Keep His Cool
Here at EarlyGame we don't tolerate victim blaming, so let's make one thing clear from the get-go: leave him the hell alone. Whether you like him and his content or not, Speed's still just a kid who had an embarrassing thing happen to him. We've had our cruel little laugh and forgot our own insecurities for a second there, but it's time to move on.
His unfortunate mishap was obviously nothing more than just that: a mishap. From Speed's side, there was nothing malicious going on, but how some idiots online make fun of him sadly is. It's only natural for Speed to get upset and we don't blame him.

But alas, the internet can be a horrible place and his angry reactions may only make the whole thing worse. As long as they can get under Speed's skin and make him angry, there's likely going to be some douches out there that find some sick kind of amusement in doing just that.
If you're one of those people, I implore you to take a long, hard look in the mirror and do some soul searching. Just stop harassing the kid, it's not that difficult to not be an idiot. At this point, it's bullying.
If you're the victim of bullying yourself, you may want to reach out to a counselor. Here's the crisis text line. No shame in that – everyone deserves help and kindness.
Let's end on a happy note. Here's EG's newest video. It's amazing and doesn't bully anyone:
