In hindsight, it is tough to say who is at fault here, although the joke was quite harmless. It is debatable whether Nick’s response on this meme was appropriate or not, as the meme indeed took a dig at his gaming ability. It is understandable for a streamer and player of his caliber to be offended by such a meme.
