Caroline Kwan is calling out streamers who acted like they were entitled to win at the 2026 Streamer Awards, and it comes after several creators criticised the ceremony or left before it ended. She spoke during a broadcast reviewing the Los Angeles event, which she co-hosted with organizer Blaire “QTCinderella” on November 12. Kwan said some creators deliberately look for drama when they do not get the outcome they want. She also pushed back on the claims that the awards were rigged, telling streamers to get their communities involved in the voting process instead of attacking other winners, and to accept defeat without drama too.

CarolineKwan SLAMS DDG and B Lou for feeling entitled to winning at the Streamer Awards ???? "There are some really entitled assholes.. They seem to be incapable of grasping that the Streamer Awards is not something that they are owed.. Their presence is not something that QT is begging for."

Caroline Kwan says streamers cannot treat award nominations and wins as something they are owed

Kwan didn't name every creator she was criticising, but the comments landed amid complaints from streamers who left early after missing out. DDG and NotQuiteLikeDub were among those who exited before ceremony ended. B Lou and DeShae Frost also suggested the results were “rigged.”

“There are some really entitled *** holes,” Kwan said. “They seem to be incapable of grasping that the Streamer Awards are not something that they are owed. They are not permanent guests there.”

She went after creators who blame the event when their communities haven't backed them in the voting, too. Her advice was simple: talk to viewers and ask them to vote, don't act like campaigning is beneath you.

“Their presence is not something that QT or the Streamer Awards are begging for,”she said. Streamers could “organize” their communities and ask their chats to vote, Kwan added. According to her, viewers were spending time “****ting on everyone else winning” instead of helping streamers through the vote process.

She points to Will Neff's response to losing Best Roleplay as an example

Kwan accused some creators of turning award-show disputes into content.“The whole point is to farm controversy; it's to farm drama,” she said, and she called it a damaging part of streaming culture that gives the platform a “terrible reputation.”

Then she brought up the Best Roleplay category as a model for handling a loss. Her roommate, Will Neff, was nominated but lost to Critical Role. Kwan said he would have liked to win, but he also backed people whose work he respected.

Kwan stressed that being disappointed is acceptable. “It is perfectly okay to be sad if you didn't win. It's okay to be sad if you didn't get nominated,” she said.

Most creators, she added, never receive a nomination. And Kwan said she had never been nominated herself, while sarcastically addressing claims that QTCinderella gives awards to her friends.
