Twitch star Félix “xQc” Lengyel has entered the viral conversation surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney, whose recent “great genes” comment has become the center of a heated online debate. The controversy erupted after a clip of Sweeney went viral, with some users claiming her remarks reflected subtle racial undertones. Social media quickly divided over whether the backlash was justified or blown out of proportion.
In response, xQc criticized the outrage as unnecessary, calling the entire discussion “bait” and “inherently stupid.” The Canadian streamer argued that the phrase “great genes” was being misinterpreted and that people were stretching its meaning far beyond its original intent.
xQc calls Sydney Sweeney backlash “stupid” and says people are overreacting
During a recent livestream, xQc shared his unfiltered take on the Sydney Sweeney controversy , saying the criticism lacked logic or real substance. “I wouldn’t even respond to that,” he said. “The question is bait and inherently stupid. People making a burger out of it are stupid. ‘Great genes’ can mean you have nice eyes, why must it be about them being white?”
His comments resonated with many online, with supporters agreeing that the reaction to Sweeney’s remarks had spiraled out of control. Others argued that xQc’s defense oversimplified deeper issues of perception and privilege in celebrity media. Still, his response highlights a growing fatigue among streamers and audiences toward what they see as performative outrage dominating social media discourse.
The clip, now widely shared across X (formerly Twitter), shows xQc reviewing the viral interview and expressing disbelief over how far the controversy had escalated. He urged viewers to avoid turning harmless comments into cultural debates, saying that not every celebrity statement needs to be politicized or dissected through a racial lens.
xQc’s blunt defense of Sydney Sweeney adds to the ongoing conversation about intent, interpretation, and online outrage . While some continue to view Sweeney’s “great genes” comment as problematic, others, like xQc, see it as an example of internet culture magnifying trivial moments into full-blown controversies. As of now, the discussion around Sydney Sweeney’s “great genes” comment continues to spark mixed reactions online, while xQc’s blunt response has fueled even more debate across Twitch and social media circles.
