He needs to realize that you don’t have to be making “kids content” for kids and teens to watch it. It’s just about being a better role model, something I doubt Kai thinks about. https://t.co/euvuna83sh

Talking about Kai Cenat, critics also brought up stuff from the past to emphasize what they were saying. They mentioned the wild gaming giveaway in Union Square, NYC, in August 2023. It led to a riot and massive chaos, with people pelting the police with rocks and fighting amongst themselves. The organizers of the event did not calculate the crowd turnout accurately, which led to a lot of violence as more people gathered in the area.
Cenat was quickly moved out of the NYC square to ensure his safety, and he was then charged on account of inciting a riot and unlawfully assembling people.
As all this criticism was going around, some users were more understanding, realizing how tough it is for creators when people get the wrong idea about their audience.
