Nick “Nmplol” Polom has landed in serious trouble after making an insensitive joke about children missing during devastating flash floods in Texas. During a recent livestream, the content creator referenced the tragedy that was still going on, with search and rescue efforts actively underway.
The controversial comment came less than 24 hours after news broke about a summer camp affected by sudden flash flooding in Texas. At the time of Nmplol’s stream, several children remained missing, with some already confirmed deceased. Parents were still anxiously awaiting news about their children’s safety.
According to viewers, Nmplol’s remark included suggesting the missing children “didn’t have much to live for anyway.” The comment wasn’t prompted by chat but rather came up during a conversation about current events.
The Texas flash floods had created a desperate situation, with emergency responders working tirelessly to locate all the children caught in the disaster. The timing of Nmplol’s joke—while families were still in the agonizing position of not knowing if their children were alive—struck many as particularly callous.
Nmplol, a member of the streaming organization OTK (One True King), is known for his “Breakfast Streams” and collaborations with other major Twitch personalities like Sodapoppin and Esfand. This isn’t the first time his on-stream comments have generated controversy.
