Streamers have had a reputation of saying and doing things that might be a little out of pocket for a long time, but some of them have taken "out of pocket" to the next level.

Different Reasons, Same Outcome

Streamers RaKai and Clavicular have both been facing backlash for many different things, most of which have the potential to negatively influence their relatively young audiences. In a recent Tweet, one user shared how these two "will cause irreparable damage to whoever consumes and is influenced by their content."

Though that is something that, according to the tweet, they seem to have in common, RaKai and Clavicular have been facing backlash for very different reasons.

Young, New Streamer RaKai

RaKai has recently gained a lot of popularity as a streamer, but has also repeatedly found himself in massive controversies. Not only was he caught stealing flowers from Walmart and streamed himself laughing at a homeless man eating by himself, he also doesn't seem to be the safest driver as we've previously reported.

Though some of these controversies seem more like harmful pranks in comparison to Clavicular, people's concern on his impact is still very valid.

Extreme "Looksmaxxer" Clavicular

Clavicular has been going viral for the things he does and says for a long time, which might even be more harmful than the things RaKai has been criticized for. The Streamer was famously seen partying with streamer friends and Andrew Tate, singing along to an extremely controversial and mostly banned song by artist Kanye "Ye" West. You can find the clip here.

Additionally, Clavicular is also known for participating in the so-called trend looksmaxxing – a trend inspiring people to make themselves look as attractive as possible. Though on the surface this doesn't necessarily sound too concerning, the streamer takes looksmaxxing to an extreme: He stated he has been taking testosterone since he was 14, leaving him infertile.

He also frequently shared how he enhanced his facial structure by hitting his fact with a hammer. In one podcast he stated:

Just small micro fractures and the bone grows back stronger according to the calcium in your body.

Effect On Their Viewers

It's quickly understandable how both Clavicular and RaKai have the potential to inspire their young audience to follow their steps. It is, however, worth mentioning that both streamers are pretty young themselves – at the time of writing this article, Clavicular is 20 and RaKai is 17. We can only hope that as they grow older they learn from their mistakes.
