Summit1G is facing heat from the gaming community after publicly dissing roleplayers during a major World of Warcraft Hardcore event. The drama happened during “Onlyfangs,” a streamer-led event organized by Sodapoppin that mixes hardcore gameplay with roleplaying elements.
Summit1G didn’t hold back his disdain for the event’s RP aspects. He openly called roleplaying “cringe” and rolled his eyes during in-game interactions. This behavior quickly spread to his Twitch chat, with viewers echoing his negative sentiments.
The blowback was swift. Other streamers and viewers called out Summit1G for his poor attitude, arguing that he should either embrace the event’s spirit or bow out. Some accused him of joining solely for the viewer count, without respecting the event’s purpose.
Sodapoppin, one of the event organizers, tried to calm the waters with an announcement addressing the drama. But the damage was already done. Summit1G’s comments had stirred up a hornets’ nest of negativity, leading to increased harassment of RP participants.
The situation got even spicier when Summit1G criticized the harsh punishment for a player caught cheating. This kicked off further talk about what is fair and what is not on the invite only hardcore server.
Summit’s bad attitude not only spoiled the event for many but also encouraged toxic behavior among his viewers. It shows how big streamers actively need to moderate their communities on big projects like “Onlyfangs”.
Despite his history with GTA RP, Summit1G’s aversion to deep roleplaying clashed hard with the “Onlyfangs” vibe. The event, which features permadeath mechanics, aims to build community through shared storytelling and intense gameplay. Let’s see if Summit and Soda will manage to create piece in Azeroth once again.
