[@inexorableveracity]

the 3 of them just shouting at QT while she looks off screen confused should be a meme. Had me rolling.

[@senseshchepin]

the way this episode is DRAMATICALLY named "The Truth Behind The Streamer Awards…" and THE FIRST thing everyone discusses is how there was seemingly NO DRAMA at the show

[@beastmaster9050]

well that was the truth!!

[@nootdraws]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the only actual drama this year was Nihachu getting harassed by dream stans, and it tracks that they wouldn’t discuss that on Fear&.

[@ranchdubois8990]

Saying QT doesn’t talk about past trauma on Wine About It is craaaaazy

[@WhereTheHellIsMyLifeGoing]

Right? Like last week they were surprised on Fear& when QT said in the most downplayed way possible that one of her ex’s was domestically abusive. But if you’re a Wine About It listener, you already know far more details about that ex being (very) violent/abusive to her plus a serial cheater who would threaten to keep himself safe if she left. They both get deeeep into the trenches of trauma on that pod.

[@LiveOutLoud321]

They’re not wrong that QT and Maya can be extremely funny. It’s just that half the time it’s dark humor about past traumas that have absolutely no right being funny… they’ve just managed to do the impossible 😂

[@NShomebase]

FR, had to stop listening last year after they went on like a month long trauma dump.

[@DudeNamedDude1776]

QT Appreciation post: QT is a super underrated member of the twitch community, she puts on magnificent events and it's insane she can do a whole show of that level and still come to do a podcast next day.

[@Kingbimmy]

She absolutely deserves so much for how much work she puts into all this. 🥺❤️

[@jessjess23brooks89]

I love hearing about the background info on her event planning. She is so fucking impressive.

[@LunaLamperouge]

The guys are missing the point because QT is funnier on Wine About exactly because she can trauma dump with no restrictions there lmao. Maya doesn't go "Oh, ok, now the mood is ruined", instead she contributes to the madness and the talk becomes more and more unhinged and funny. She also can talk about internet/celebrity drama freely without worrying some viewers will think she is annoying lol

[@Ray-zy7vb]

this! love the boys and the pod but girlies who get it get it

[@edward-byanyothername]

that's exactly it, the boys are too normie for all that trauma talk

[@cato1024]

I don't come to the podcast for ruined vibes and trauma dumping. That's what the stream is for.

[@ChromaJay]

@@cato1024i feel like a podcast is for talking about anything in a non stream medium. talking to your friends instead of to chat

[@Lucarioguild7]

There's definitely been some episodes where they let her trauma dump uninterrupted it wasn't funny though and when they try to be supportive she told them to fuck off. This isn't meant to be QT hate, I love her but Hasan is right that she's much funnier on Wine About It

[@504branden]

"You can talk about your daughter's vagina" is one of the most insane things I've ever heard lmao

[@JulianCedar]

The actual truth is that Kaya was snubbed for Streamer of the Year smh

[@Random-sk6hm]

I thought this said Kanye and was very surprised

[@RosscoAW]

Streamers that cancel on Streamer Awards last minute after operating expenses have been spent on expecting them to be there should be contractually obligated to remunerate you personally for damages, because that is 100% exactly what that legally amounts to (if they failed to refuse the RSVP's).

[@serenas5784]

Yeah she should do this and print it on the invites etc so they have no way of saying they didn’t know or some bs

[@MyNameIsLusca]

Yes! Like, if you cancel an appointment without sufficient notice then a lot of businesses will charge a "cancellation" fee. Should be the same deal. At least give her enough time to offer your seat to someone else ffs

[@vivianoranges]

Not every single streamer gets screen time at the streamer awards but its undoubtedly a huge opportunity for streamers from every category to network and bailing like that- without even explaining why- is so crazy,

[@vaishnavisingh9244]

[@bibubbletea]

I just want to say I will forever be grateful that Fear & doesn’t do ad reads, I understand why it’s necessary for other podcasts, I love the yard and others even though they do it, but it just enhances the listening experience tenfold. That’s part of why I pay for patreon to help financially support it because it makes such a big difference to my enjoyment when I’m not interrupted 6 times throughout the podcast for sponsor readings and a bunch of midroll ads. Thank you Fear &

[@clampartist]

100% agree. But I will say that the yard does them right because they always have fun with them when they do it.

Kaya pawing at Austin was adorable

[@futuremilfy]

One of the best Fear& in a LONG while - this is why what QT does is amazing for the community. Great content, gets everyone excited and is amazing for morale, pushes the industry to bigger and better, and brings people together who otherwise may never cross paths.

[@rbrtcyrsnclslr]

The only thing I didn’t like about the awards is that a lot of the nominees and winners didn’t attend the actual ceremony.

[@susyemeralds]

Yeah only complaint

[@IntuitiveBackpacker]

Some of the big streamers actually had good excuses. Kai was playing in an NBA all-stars game and Caseoh has a fear of flying like QT (and Moist). Still sad they couldn’t all be there though!

[@Maryyeung12894]

The only constructive feedback was the length of the show. But QT you nailed the opening monologue! Also, if you could provide the preshow start time separate to the start time of the actual show. Then expected end time/run time. So people can plan their day and evening especially for the east coast fans. Also fire fits QT! IMO you and Caroline had the best fits of the night on the female side. SeanDaBlack slayed on the men’s side along with Will’s hair.

[@meowwmowww]

honestly austin was amazing as a floor host, i loved all his segments and it was so sweet how he kept repping qt the entire time :((( also the fact that he kissed both cellbit and caroline, especially caroline on her lap 😭💓💓💓

I feel bad about the people who no-show. That's a ton of effort and money to let go to waste without letting her know :(

[@arkain1]

It's all good, QT let some of the invitees bring a +1, so at least the food didn't go to waste 👍

[@Kingbimmy]

The fact that even XQC could tell her ahead of time is saying a lot too. That gremlin of a man was able to do it, but others can’t? 💀

[@shadadams2528]

This pod hits so insanely hard when all four of them are there. The chemistry is so good.

[@cravinghibiscus7901]

The dynamic in the room is so undeniably hilarious. It is a tower of cards mid collapse but somehow catching itself in the fall and forming something stronger and more beautiful.

[@Toadhmg]

hearing qt talking about the dress and how the dude only makes size 6s makes me so sad dude, im a plus size fashion lover I know the pain of no one making anything my size but girl, Qt you’re gorgeous 💗

[@Kingbimmy]

6 is crazy too, because to me, QT is very very slim. That shit is wild 😭

[@Cole_McGill]

Idk how that dress is made, but if you can only make something in one size, you should not be selling it. Get better and then offer your services. Its genuinely embarassing to think that someone could make such a beautiful dress but not have the skill set required to make it for different dress sizes. Like all you need to do is watch 5 KZbin videos and practice a bit, and you'll likely be able to alter a design to whatever mesurements you need. Even if its because of a metal plate, they're are videos on KZbin that teach you how to alter the design of armor, to match different body measurements. Someone saying "we only make size six" is essentially them saying "we're too incompetent to know how to alter the design, to work with a person's measure and we're unwilling to learn how to do that". Its frustrating.

[@ErnieZee]

Qt isn't even plus size but that's LA for you. Everyone there is obsessed with impossibly thin waists.

[@ErnieZee]

@@Cole_McGill Many designers don't offer their work in bigger sizes because they don't want these people to wear them. It's literally fat shaming except against people with completely normal bodies. I'm against accepting obesity but I'm also against normalising anorexia.

@@Cole_McGill Imagine artists to have right to make their art in however way they want. They can do their own art in anyway they themselves want. Its not incompetence.

[@HeyItsStephx]

Exactly, the amount of hatred that comes from him, i dont understand it

[@LiveOutLoud321]

I saw someone say 2 reasons why she might have and I think they make sense: 1) If she invites him, that makes him ineligible to co-stream it with his unpleasant commentary and community at least if he’s respecting her rules. 2) He would never come anyway but the invite means his community doesn’t have grounds to irrationally hate QT for in their eyes being the sole reason he is blackballed from the streaming world. I remember Lud once saying an Adin fan DMed him threats about how they wanted to r word QT and then kill them so I get being cautious as unfortunate as it may be. His fans ended up hating her anyways for a pretty harmless joke but that just proves how volatile they can be.
