Thursday night, a clip from Twitch streamer Buckkerz it showed him screaming at his young child after losing at a video game.
In the clip, Buckkerz (whose legal name has not been confirmed by Insider) can be seen playing ‘Madden 21’ with his toddler son on his lap. After his in-game throw is intercepted, the spreader shouts ‘god dam —‘ as he throws down his controller and breaks. ‘F — ing $ 300 f — ing controller’ he shouts as the young child shouts at the camera.
“I’m about to go before I lose it,” he says, placing the child in a chair before shouting directly into his face “close the f — up!”
His webcam then disappears and the stream is cut off.
Buckkerz is a small streamer who, according to TwitchTracker, streamed himself ‘Madden 21’ several times a week throughout November and October 2020 for an average audience of about five viewers. His January 21 stream was back for the first time, and one of the five viewers managed to capture the clip and post it to Reddit.
The 28-second clip gained traction on the LiveStreamFails subreddit, where it quickly built up more than 10,000 votes in less than 24 hours. “If video games make you act like that towards your family, pets or a child – you need to reevaluate your life,” wrote one Redditor. “That poor baby. My heart just broke for that child,” wrote another.
On Twitter, the track was posted by YouTuber Nicholas DeOrio, where it attracted more than 160,000 views in ten hours.
After the clip hit Reddit, Buckkerz briefly changed his Twitch channel name to “Imsorry1234556” before taking the channel offline. It is unclear whether the account was removed by the streamer or that it was banned by Twitch. Twitch did not respond to a request for comment.
When the setback began to kick in, Buckkerz was quickly deleting his many social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. His now-defunct Bukkerzgaming account writes in his tab “Living Sober, Being a Good Father and Husband is my mission in life.”
Unfortunately, streamers on Twitch have shown similar behavior in the past.
In 2018, Australian streamer Luke ‘mrDeadMoth’ Munday streamed himself and attacked his pregnant fiancé trying to get him away from a game ‘Fortnite’. A year later, he was charged with general assault and sentenced to a 14-month community correction order. In 2019, a streamer who goes to TTV_MajesticUnicorn was seen on camera biting and hitting her baby son.
Buckkerz did not return a request for comment upon publication.
