Minecraft star TommyInnit reveals his most “bizarre” interaction with IRL hater
TommyInnit is one of the biggest Minecraft content creators on the internet — but despite his sprawling fanbase, not everyone is enthusiastic about his streams and videos.
The life of a social media star certainly seems like a charmed one; garnering millions upon millions of fans, scoring big cash from major brand deals and essentially being a celebrity are all definite perks to the job. However, not every facet of the influencer lifestyle is a positive one. More so than A-List actors and Grammy-winning singers, internet celebs tend to share more of their private lives with their viewers, resulting in (sometimes toxic) parasocial relationships. Sometimes, fans — and haters — can take these parasocial relationships too far, with many influencers sharing horror stories of being stalked by haters or havingtheir homes broken into by fans.
During an interview with fellow YouTuber Anthony Padilla, TommyInnit claimed that he’d been approached by an angry viewer while hanging out with a friend.
“It’s fair enough if you don’t like someone,” the Minecrafter continued. “But to then shout it? Like, he must’ve really been in the portion of viewers that found me annoying at first. …just being a d**k, you know? I was like, ‘What the hell?’ It was so bizarre!”(Topic begins at8:36)
