The 2025 Streamer Awards sparked major buzz across the timeline. Some creators were escorted out, and several jokes failed to land properly. Some viewers even felt certain moments carried racist or homophobic undertones. Others believed the voting process seemed rigged or unclear. QTCinderella, the streamer and creator behind the Streamer Awards, says she heard every criticism. She now plans to make significant changes for the 2026 ceremony. This, amid her receiving her own backlash for a joke she aimed at Rakai.
