Minecraft streamer Dream reveals face but gets criticized on Twitter; Total Gaming comes forward with support for Dream

Whether you play Minecraft or not, you must’ve heard of Dream. He’s one of the most popular Minecraft steamers out there and has a massive following on YouTube. Dream has 5.6 million Twitter followers, 3.1 million followers on Instagram and a mammoth 30.6 million YouTube subscribers. To explain why Dream showing his face for the first time is a big deal, just compare his subscribers count to that of Fornite’s Ninja who sits at 23.8 million subscribers. This is a big deal for gamers as Twitter is already trending (although for the wrong reasons but more on that later) with Dream’s face reveal. 

Dream face reveal

Dream has never revealed his face in any of his streams up until now. So far, all fans had was a simple yet signature smiley face as an identity of Dream. He’s actually a 23-year-old guy named Clay and a total of 1.5 million people poured to YouTube to find that out. It speaks volumes of the impact and volume that the gaming community has reached. 

Twitter starts hating on Dream's face reveal

However, Twitter is trending with #facedreamreveal where instead of a celebration or appreciation for revealing his identity, the platform is flooded with hate comments calling him ugly and whatnot.  

It’s surprising to see that even a game as wholesome as Minecraft is sadly not free from toxicity. Dream’s face reveal was indeed a big enough deal for it to trend and reach people who don’t even play Minecraft, myself included, but it does paint a grim picture in general for all gamers. Streamers like Corpse Husband are also some popular streamers who have not revealed their face and a reaction like this is surely going to discourage the thought of a face reveal for many out there.

Back home, we’ve got our gaming celebrity in Total Gaming. The Free Fire streamer enjoys tremendous success on YouTube and is a content creator who is yet to reveal his face. While Dream’s reveal got everyone talking, do keep in mind that he has 30.6 million subscribers. That still falls short of Total Gaming who has an astonishing 33.7M subscribers to his name. For what it's worth, Total Gaming gives his support to Dream, like many other streamers pouring in their support for Dream. If the streamer does look to reveal his face in the near future, only time will tell if the gaming community would be more supportive or not.
