Reddit is not prepared as streamer drama in World of Warcraft spills over to r/LivestreamFail
Background: OnlyFangs is a Hardcore WoW guild that's a collaboration effort between multiple high profile streamers on Twitch. The list includes Tyler1 (of League fame/infamy), Sodapoppin, Lacari and other familiar Twitch names to any who frequently view them or associated channels.
Recently, a dungeon was run with a group including PirateSoftware (who may be familiar to some for having a lot of Youtube Shorts giving takes on stuff like conventions, cyber security, programming, etc) where (to my understanding) the group wiped and Pirate was accused of being the primary instigator of it, and when questioned, denied having any blame for the failure of the run.
Hardcore is particularly noteworthy in that any deaths are permanent, leading to potentially days of work wasted.
OnlyFangs has been dominating the r/Livestreamfails subreddit over the last few months, mostly because of moments and the rare drama. However, ever since the above incident, multiple threads have come up with people attacking PirateSoftware and defending him.
