Netizens debate Typical Gamer’s wedding stream 

Though he was eager to share his special moment with his community, netizens on X were quick to question him for sharing the intimate day with people he didn’t know online.

“Streaming a wedding live feels a bit too personal to me. Some moments are meant to stay private, don’t you think?” wrote one.

“That’s weird, to be honest,” added another.

“Not a fan of that, not going to lie,” agreed a third.

However, not all reception was critical. Some social media users celebrated Typical Gamer’s decision to stream his wedding, saying that it was a “beautiful” idea to “immortalize” his ceremony on the internet.

“Had that audience and didn’t have to feed them, lol W!” exclaimed one.

“That’s kind of cool to have as a core memory,” said another.

“I love this,” added a third.

Typical Gamer is just the most recent streamer to have been married during a livestream. In 2022, Twitch streamers Natsumiii and BaboAbe streamed their wedding, reaching over 60K viewers.

And, in November 2024, Twitch influencer Jack Doherty streamed his wedding to McKinley Richardson. The event lasted for five hours online and reached 17K viewers.
