Twitch Streamer Keffals Realizes Live On Stream That Keemstar Might 'Not Actually Be A Trans Ally' As Backlash Ensues Online
Long-time trans rights supporter, activist and Twitch streamer Keffals recently invited known drama kingpin Keemstar onto her stream after he tweeted out his support for trans rights, most recently as a way to push back against the controversial video game Hogwarts Legacy.
At the time of Keemstar's tweet earlier this week, many were hesitant about his purported transition to a seemingly pro-trans stance, with memes and skepticism aplenty being posted about him and Keffals' reaction to his statement online in recent days.
Yesterday afternoon, Keemstar then joined Keffals on her Twitch channel for a stream she promoted to discuss the YouTuber "becoming a trans ally," which has since been viewed over 26,000 times.
After Keffals had Keemstar on stream, she stated that she then realized he wasn't actually the supporter she initially believed, tweeting her afterthoughts out following the discussion.
Shortly after, tweets went up about Keemstar's perceived lack of authenticity as he quickly received backlash from some on Twitter, with people also accusing Keffals of platforming Keemstar and not caring about the damage he's caused in the past — some even claiming she simply used him as a means to get further views.
The controversy that's carried over into today notably created a sentiment that was the opposite of months ago when numerous Twitter users rallied behind Keffals in the face of doxxing and death threats allegedly at the hands of Kiwi Farms members.
Earlier today around noon, Keffals then posted an apology video on her YouTube channel addressing some of the ongoing controversy under the title "I’m sorry. I will do better."

Tolerance is no longer enough for these people. You now have to actively celebrate it or you are labeled a throughcriminal to these inquisitors.

Never heard of this person before this incident, but them thinking Keemstar of all people could be a good influence and worth saving is enough for me to write them off

Oh no! Anyway.

Literally how could anyone be dumb enough to think having a publicized conversation with Keemstar would be a good thing, either for yourself or for your social standing?
Keemstar could pull me out of a damn burning building and I wouldn't invite that man onto a stream.

This is what one calls just deserts.

Ironic. Rowling fell in with that crowd, but has been continuously cannibalized for not 100% toeing the line. Now keffals has gotten a taste of what that's like.

Saying she hasn't "100% toed the line" is just being dishonest. She has some liberal positions on other things but as far as trans issues go, she's no different from any right-wing conservative, and unlike anything she maintains liberal positions on, her anti-trans crusade has been her biggest mission over the past few years and the thing she uses her platform to promote most consistently.

Rowling said all kinds of pro-socialist, anti-conservative statements for years and the lefties all loved her for it. When she drew the line at trans folks now that THAT'S the big issue for this generation, that's when they turned on her. She probably still is in favor of mass immigration to the UK and hating Donald Trump, but she won't get digital asspats for those things anymore.

It's part of why I cannot call myself a leftist anymore. Their gender obsession and post-modernist rejection of material reality drove me away.

Nothing is better then when one these types of parasite influencers that make it their living going after people for the most minor of fuck ups, has a minor fuck and gets dog pilled by the same annoying garbage.
I almost feel bad for her, being swarmed by terminally online freaks for such a nothing burger but…Ive always wanted to ratio Keffals
Rhettorical
If you want to ratio keffals, just do what keffals does and reply with "LOL L+RATIO" since apparently that's what "being ratio'd" means.

I'm all for Keffals' stupidity being put on blast, but not really a meme.
