About

Sneako Meets Young Fans refers to a viral video showing controversial streamer Sneako meeting young fans in mid-September 2023 who say sexist and transphobic things as Sneako turns and looks shocked into the camera. The children can be heard saying, "Andrew Tate" and "fuck the woman" while responding to Sneako saying "No, we love women" with "but not like, transgenders." The kids can also be heard saying "all gays should die." The clip went viral on X and other social media over the following days, with many criticizing Sneako for perceivably radicalizing a young audience.

Origin

On September 18th, 2023, X^[1] user @FearedBuck posted a clip from a Sneako stream (purportedly at a Miami Dolphins game) in which several young boys can be seen walking up to him and saying "fuck the women," "but not like transgenders" and "all gays should die" while pointing to the ground. In the clip, Sneako appears to laugh uncomfortably as he attempts to say "we love women" and turns wide-eyed to the camera after his fans' controversial statement. The video gathered over 44 million views and 50,000 likes in a day (seen below).

Various internet users reposted the video expressing concern about Sneako's influence on young men and their perceived susceptibility to misogynistic rhetoric.
