Overview
Dream Crashout refers to a three-hour-long stream hosted by Minecraft streamer Dream in early January 2025 in which he commented on his "beef" with British YouTuber Tommyinnit (notably using the slang term "crashout"). The controversy came days after streamers Tommyinnit, Mizkif and xQc entered an internet argument, leading Dream to post a meme that referred to Tommyinnit's fans as "retards." Dream faced backlash from some for using the "R-word" and deleted his post but later defended it during his Twitch livestream. Several internet users also clipped a segment of Dream's stream in which he says Tommy "shit on me for being a Trump supporter [stutters] when he knows that's not the case," using it as supposed "proof" that Dream harbors conservative beliefs.
Background
On January 7th, 2025, Tommyinnit described his experience of meeting with fellow streamer Mizkif as unpleasant, saying that he had "never just genuinely hated every word and movement someone did" before meeting Mizkif.[1]
