“We Need More Girls on the Basis That They Are Girls Is Stupid”- xQc Responds on Women Empowerment in Esports Amidst FaZe Rain vs Grace Van Dien Banter

The ongoing feud between Grace Van Dien and FaZe OG member Rain  has been a prominent topic among streamers lately. Though the drama is not reaching a solid conclusion, more and more streamers are now being involved in it.

Amidst their back-and-forth debates, Rain mentioned a particular tweet that was stated by the official FaZe Clan page. This tweet got the attention of the variety streamer xQc who delved into the topic and gave his own standpoint on the topic. But his controversial take might even spark a new set of fights in the online space, instead of quashing the old ones.

xQc comments on FaZe’s “We want more women in FaZe Clan” tweet

xQc is a very popular streamer in today’s era and can proudly boast of a vast fan base. He has even shown a keen interest in owning an Esports team recently. Thus, he was filled with outrage and confusion after he stumbled upon the FaZe Clan tweet. This prompted him to share his own opinions and understanding of women’s representation in Esports.

“Why do people have to go out of their way and pick girls on the basis that they are girls that aren’t even interested,” stated xQc. According to him, it is a confusing action to sign women into the Esports if they are not interested or skilled in it.

The streamer stated that these statements may even get him canceled but did not stop his flow of thoughts there. Felix considers the ‘we need more girls’ statement absurd. He commented that girls have already been in the space for a long time, so a tweet like this was unnecessary.

“We need skilled players that deserve a spot and if that person is a girl, then f**k it absolutely we do right,” added xQc. He feels that a merit-based system should be followed when selecting players for professional teams, so that talented players are given the ‘deserved chance’ rather than giving quotas for people who are not interested.

Though he said these statements, he did not specify them directly to any of the current Esports figures. Finally, he ended his rant by saying, “We need more girls on the basis that they are girls is stupid”.
