CONTROVERSIAL KICK STREAMER GETS SMACKED IN JAPAN AFTER LOCALS HAD ENOUGH

A streamer on Kick by the name ‘JohnnySomali’ got smacked by a local in Japan
after his racist outbursts resulted in a violent outcome.



IRL streams are responsible for some of the most chaotic content on the
internet. After all, it’s difficult to control for the number of strangers one
might encounter while broadcasting a night out on the town or sharing one’s
travels abroad with a live audience.

As such, many IRL streamers have encountered uncomfortable and even dangerous
situations that happen in real time. For instance, one streamer got chased by a
man threatening to “kill” him during a broadcast in a local park, and many
others have experienced racist attacks from bystanders while traveling.

However, one such IRL streamer has been bombarding strangers with racist remarks
for some time during his stay in Japan — and an angry local decided to confront
him.


KICK STREAMER SMACKED BY JAPANESE LOCAL OVER RACIST COMMENTS

Kick streamer ‘JohnnySomali’ has garnered a negative reputation for himself
after clips surfaced of the broadcaster making racist remarks toward Japanese
locals while taking a train.

On top of breaking etiquette by being loud on public transport, his mentions of
Hiroshima and Nagaski left viewers gobsmacked — but it wasn’t long before he got
confronted by a good Samaritan who shut his behavior down in a shocking moment
that went viral.

Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to put a stop to his behavior, as JohnnySomali
has continued to stream his travels in Japan while making racist remarks in
public.

In late May, though, the streamer was broadcasting while speaking to his chat in
the street when he got smacked in the face by a local just out of frame of the
camera.

“What the f*ck?” the streamer exclaimed. “Yo, chill out. Relax, relax. It’s
nothing, there ain’t no problem.”

The man who smacked him can be heard posturing in the background, seemingly
making mention of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — something that the streamer has joked
about in his previous broadcasts. Someone in the background then also makes
racist remarks toward the streamer, using a racial slur.

The streamer has uploaded other confrontations with locals to his YouTube
channel, claiming to have even been harangued by Yakuza in one video.

JohnnySomali is just the latest content creator to spark outrage online after
noted TikTok prankster Mizzy garnered massive backlash and was even arrested for
his pranks, such as walking into strangers’ homes and even making off with an
elderly woman’s dog.
