Why did Mizkif and Trainwreckstv clash on Twitter? Explaining the ItsSliker drama and the anti-gambling wave
Popular Twitch streamers Matthew "Mizkif" and Tyler "Trainwreckstv" recently clashed on Twitter.
The back and forth happened under a post by Asmongold where he lambasted Twitch for not banning ItsSliker and giving him a platform even after he had confessed to scamming people out of their money to fuel his gambling addiction.
Tyler's reply to Matthew's tweet got the controversy going. In his tweet, the former made veiled comments about Asmongold's "pals," who according to him took the opportunity to go after him while using ItsSliker as an example of how gambling affects a person.
He ended the tweet with a snide remark about an "insecure little man," who many assumed to be Mizkif as he was the person who hosted ItsSliker on his stream and then proceeded to call on Twitch to ban gambling streams.
For the uninitiated, Trainwreckstv is one of the biggest gambling streamers on the platform, and a ban will affect him and his content.
Mizkif retaliated against the comments in a now-deleted tweet by bringing up a past incident where Tyler was involved with a cryptocurrency scheme called Jolt coins. He went on to imply that the scheme was fraudulent and that by Asmongold's logic, Trainwreckstv should get banned from Twitch as well.
In subsequent tweets, Trainwreckstv went go on to accuse Mizkif of covering up the se*ual harassment case against one of his friends CrazySlick, following which the drama instantly blew up across social media platforms.
