Ninja Has Awkward Reaction to Nadeshot Discussing Donald Trump

As with any extremely controversial topic, many Twitch streamers do their best to avoid involving discussion surrounding politics entering their streams, as the goal of Twitch streamers is to attract and sustain the viewership of all kinds of individuals who are all likely to have differing political views. With many people coming to watch their favorite streamers on Twitch to get away from hearing about or discussing the many controversial topics that political discussion often breeds, the last thing that many viewers want to hear is a streamer begin a conversation centered on politics. 

However, this was not the case during a recent stream of popular Twitch personality Tyler "Ninja" Belvins as he was playing the PC Beta for the Blackout battle royale game mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Ninja was playing with former OpTic Gaming Call of Duty player and current founder and owner of the 100 Thieves esports organization in Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag when the popular esports community member began to give his thoughts on the golf outings and other trips taken by the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, that have been a major subject of discussion and controversy in the political sphere.

Nadeshot went on to compare how Donald Trump had in the past tweeted about his predecessor in Barack Obama taking golf outings and other vacations when Trump has done the same in his presidency. A viewer of the stream being broadcasted by Ninja was able to capture the reaction from Ninja as Nadeshot discussed his thoughts on Donald Trump. This reaction from Ninja involved the streamer staring at his camera and giving an expression that relayed he was not interested or comfortable with the political discussion that had made its way onto his stream.

While Twitch is a platform where individuals have the right to discuss their thoughts in a free manner, many members of the community for the popular streaming platform, including Ninja, look to rather not have topics such as politics, which can often be a very divisive issue, be a factor in their Twitch streams. This thought can clearly be seen from the awkward reaction of Ninja to the discussion of Donald Trump from Nadeshot in what was a situation that the content creator likely did not want to occur.
