Twitch streamer Tectone is facing criticism for mocking Jacksepticeye’s autism diagnosis.
He insulted Jacksepticeye after the YouTuber openly discussed his diagnosis.
On November 27, Jacksepticeye shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had been diagnosed with autism following a professional assessment.
This news received significant support from fans and other creators who commended him for his honesty.
However, not everyone reacted positively.
Tectone made a hurtful comment about Jacksepticeye in a post that he later deleted.
He wrote, “Oh god, he’s re*arded…”
This term is considered disrespectful and harmful to individuals with disabilities.
Many online users criticized Tectone for using such language.
One comment stated, “It shows he doesn’t understand autism, as having mild autism is very common.”
Another person remarked, “Ableism is a terrible form of discrimination.”
A third commented, “The ‘r word’ is a slur; it’s hurtful and very disrespectful.”
Even fellow streamer JustaMinx joined in, expressing shock that someone with his background would say such things while having a troubled past.
This incident is not Tectone’s first controversy. Recently, he left the gaming organization OTK following serious allegations of sexual abuse from his former partner, Pinkchyu. Although he has denied these accusations, he has also demanded an apology, claiming they are unfounded.
In his defense, Tectone suggested that Pinkchyu was fabricating issues that never occurred. He stated, “It’s crazy how you are bringing up things from your imagination and directing them at me, and it doesn’t seem right.”
Additionally, Tectone expressed his desire to resolve the matter with Pinkchyu through legal means, giving her a specific timeframe to contact his attorney.
As the allegations emerged, Tectone faced harsh criticism from the community, including a notable response from fellow streamer Asmongold. He warned that if the allegations against Tectone are validated, he believes Tectone should face legal consequences.
The ongoing backlash from both the autism comment and the personal allegations has left the community divided, with many calling for accountability and a change in how public figures address sensitive topics.
