Why QTCinderella is facing massive backlash? The viral Twitch stream controversy over racism, homophobia and friendship explained

Twitch streamer Blaire “QTCinderella” is encountering significant backlash following a viral clip in which she defended friendships with individuals accused of racist and homophobic behavior. The remarks were made on a live stream with fellow streamers Emily “Vanillamace” and KatieB. In the clip, QTCinderella stated that kindness towards a person with racist remarks does not make her racist, a comment that ignited extensive debate within the online streaming community after being shared widely on social media platform X on October 25, 2025.

During the stream, she expressed reservations about being judged by her social circle and argued, “If I’m around a racist person, that doesn’t make me racist.” Despite her clarifications, critics accused her of enabling harmful behavior through her relationships with those who have made offensive comments. Another user also resurfaced past claims against her boyfriend, Ludwig Ahgren, for making homophobic jokes at TwitchCon 2025.

In response to the situation, Emily “Vanillamace” distanced herself from QTCinderella, emphasizing her discomfort with the comments. She announced a temporary break from streaming, stating her intent to “touch a little grass.” Meanwhile, streamer Fanfan defended QTCinderella on X, suggesting her comments had been misinterpreted.

As of now, QTCinderella has not publicly addressed the ongoing controversy, which has become one of the most discussed topics in the streaming community.
