When reached for comment by the Daily Dot, Pkrussl stressed that he did not expect his video to blow up. The hashtag subsequently went viral Sunday and trended “worldwide.” according to esports consultant Rod “Slasher” Breslau. In response, SonicFox fired back by quote tweeting Pkrussl’s rant and writing a two-word response: “im gay.” In light of the video, SonicFox’s fans made the hashtag #IMGAY, defending the esports star and criticizing Pkrussl’s bizarre hot take. “If you were just a normal freaking person and stopped talking about being gay all the time, and talked about normal things, you know, bring up your gayness when it’s meant to be brought up But if you just out of no where say ‘I’m gay!,’ ‘I’m gay!,” people are not going to like it because it’s annoying as hell,” Pkrussl said in his video. In the clip, Pkrussl browses through SonicFox’s Twitter account and lists over two dozen instances in which SonicFox says some variation of the phrase “I’m gay.” Afterward, Pkrussl, who is also gay and a furry, proceeds to complain that SonicFox’s out and proud behavior is “the reason why there’s still homophobia that exists, literally.” 12 with a two-minute video criticizing SonicFox for how he talks about his sexuality. YouTuber Pkrussl was upset by it and turned to Twitter on Jan. But this time around, the only thing SonicFox did was tweet “I’m gay.” SonicFox is no stranger to firing back at his detractors, and he regularly uses his Twitter presence to dunk on conservatives and homophobes. It all started with Dominique “SonicFox” McLean, whose loud and proud identity as a queer Black furry angered quite a number of Twitter users after he was crowned best esports player at last year’s Game Awards. That’s because gamers take themselves way too seriously-much to the internet’s delight. Some are being homophobic, and they are being made fun of on Twitter with memes. We regret to inform you that the gamers are at it again.
