Former Twitch star Adin Ross has come under scrutiny for recently saying his preferred pronouns are "kill/them." The streaming community has expressed its disapproval of his behavior, labeling the comment harmful towards the LGBTQ+ community.

Adin Ross has developed a reputation for stirring up controversy. In February 2023, he sparked outrage by tweeting that there were only two genders, a comment that many found exclusionary towards non-binary individuals.
