Famous Twitch streamer xQc has quickly risen to stardom from his streams from playing various videogames such as Overwatch, League of Legends, and most recently with GTA Online. XQc also occasionally participates in the "Just Chatting" broadcasts on Twitch, where he just has a normal conversation with viewers and reacts to videos with them.
Yesterday on xQc's Just Chatting stream, he decided to react to a video on one of his fans who posted a recording of their school presentation about him on YouTube. The topic of the assignment being to chose a personal hero and make a brief PowerPoint about them. Jason Taylor, the name of the presenter, goes over the history of xQc's career path and why they personally look up to him.
xQc had mixed emotions going into the video, not sure whether it was going to be awkward for him. Before watching, he states that he doesn't want his viewers to interpret this as some sort of a case of harassment or bullying. He just felt like he was going to be uncomfortable by the presentation, no matter how good the project was.
In the presentation, Taylor went over specific moments that xQc has to overcome, such as xQc's ban from the NoPixel GTA roleplaying server and the Overwatch League. Taylor also briefly touched upon personal history in xQc's life, such as his parent's divorce and dropping out of secondary school. Taylor describes that his determination and adaptability in overcoming situations like this is what makes xQc a hero in his eyes.
xQc stated multiple times that this video was hard for him to watch. Luckily, as the presentation went on, xQc's mood slowly changed. He was impressed by how accurately the information was portrayed objectively. XQc was also upset that so many people disliked the video and left negative comments, unsure if they were troll accounts. So xQc ended the video by hoping Taylor got an A+ for the project and even left him a comment congratulating him.
It is very understandable why xQc would be uncomfortable with the project in the beginning. It can be scary for some people to be viewed as a hero to a younger audience, putting extra pressure on every decision they make. XQc has stated that while he has made plenty of mistakes, he always tries to learn from them and makes the most out of a bad situation. Hopefully, xQc can continue to inspire others in a positive manner to do what they love.
