May 13 2021, Published 3:32 p.m. ET

Former Twitch streamer 4Conner temporarily grew his following over the past few years. The creator was once identified for his Rocket League streams, even beating tyler1 is a 1v1 in the game.

Conner's fan base grew to simply over 40,000 fans, and he was once buddies with many different notable streamers. But all of his channels were quiet for months. What happened to 4Conner, and why did he leave the internet?

4Conner was canceled over leaked chat logs with racist language.

In February 2021, 4Conner chat logs from a Discord server that the Twitch streamer was once a part of have been leaked, revealing messages the place he expressed blatantly racist, sexist, and prejudiced ideas.

In those messages, Conner mentioned he "will be committing hate crimes ... towards the African American race" at TwitchCon and made brazenly sexist comments about girls, claiming they "are horrible drivers" and "cannot be good at games," amongst other comments.

Following the unencumber of those messages, Conner did a live circulate addressing the messages. In the circulate, he admitted to sending the ones messages and making the ones feedback, admitting his long term as a streamer used to be "over."

"It's not me. It's not who I am. It is who I was," he stated in the movement. "I was never racist. I was never transphobic. I was never homophobic. In my head, it was all jokes. I never meant any serious harm to anyone's mentals, but what I said was very bad and at the end of the day I was being racist, I was being transphobic, I was being homophobic, I was being anti-Semitic."

He also called out those defending him, asking them to forestall.

"Stop defending me, please. ... I deserve all of it. Anyone who says s--t like that deserves it," he said.

The messages date as not too long ago as June 2020. Conner claimed that he is now not a part of that Discord community and said he distanced himself from those in the chat as a result of he didn't believe the particular person he was once becoming by associating with them.

"I'm going to be gone for a long time, I think," he mentioned. "This isn't a PR thing I'm doing. Because I know that I'm on my way out the door. This is just a goodbye I guess."

Conner has no longer streamed on Twitch since the messages had been leaked, and his Twitter is private.

4Conner's friends denounced him following the messages.

Following the messages being leaked, lots of Conner's streamer friends denounced him and their friendship. At the time, Conner used to be briefly staying at fellow streamer Mizkif's position all the way through the winter storms in Texas. Mizkif immediately streamed to deal with the messages.

"Conner is no longer allowed at my house ever again," Mizkif mentioned. "There is being edgy. I was an edgy person and I will never deny that, and you can learn from it. But, some of these logs are recent, just under a year old, it's not just a little bit, it's a lot." 

"I hate it. I hate that I've seen this. I hate that this has happened. But it's really bad man. ... I will not defend somebody who has logs that have said those things. I can't," he persevered.
