Why is “tommy neg” trending on Twitter? TommyInnit sparks outrage with Jschlatt joke
Popular YouTuber TommyInnit has sparked outrage across Twitter after appearing to make fun of the Minecraft fanbase in a response to fellow influencer Dream.
The Minecraft fandom has been a whirlwind of drama over the past few days. After Dream appeared in an interview with YouTuber Anthony Padilla, he received backlash for his comments aboutthrowing out his own ADHD medication,as well as for hispurported thoughts on alleged racism in his communityshortly thereafter.
The current scandal revolves around Tommy, Dream, and another creator named ‘Jschlatt,’ who has comeunder fire in the past for making problematic jokesin his YouTube videos.
On Twitter, Dream shared a video created by YouTube thatexplains the Dream SMP— a hugely popular survival multiplayer server that Dream created, which serves as the popular hangout spot and content mine for himself and his friends.
TommyInnit appeared to notice that YouTube’s explanatory video contained a few moments featuring Jschlatt, and poked fun at the Minecraft fanbase’s past responses to the YouTuber in a reply to Dream’s tweet.
“They included a few jschlatt moments in this video,” Tommy wrote. “Do they not know of his wrongdoings? Do they not know?! I am not happy, Dream.”
Needless to say, Tommy’s post didn’t go over well with the Minecraft community, who quickly got the term “tommy neg” trending on Twitter — a phrase that’s meant to shorten “TommyInnit” and “negative.”

it’s frustrating that a white man has the privilege to sit there and mock minorities and recieve no criticism and when said minorities voice their complaints abt why we feel mocked, we are met with other white people telling us we are overreacting.
