TheBurntPeanut walked away from the 2026 Streamer Awards with nothing, and he's asked his viewers not to make a mess out of it. He lost Best VTuber to Ironmouse, plus two other categories, and spoke about it during a November 12 livestream on Twitch. His message was blunt: “It really doesn't matter.” He admitted some fans might feel he was robbed, but he wanted them to skip the attacks and keep drama off X. He'd been nominated in three categories and didn't win any.

"Does it feel like we got robbed? Sure, but let's be classy about it... we're all thinking the same thing, we're the Bungulators, we stay classy" TheBurntPeanut responds after losing VTuber of the Year and not winning any awards at the Streamer Awards this year https://t.co/5a4AwNPD9X

TheBurntPeanut asks his community not to turn the award losses into an online fight

The 2026 ceremony saw TheBurntPeanut miss out on Best VTuber, Best FPS Streamer and Gamer of the Year. Ironmouse won Best VTuber, while OhnePixel took Best FPS Streamer and Jynxzi received Gamer of the Year.

Jake Lucky shared a clip of the stream on November 13. In it, the creator said plainly that he didn't want his community going after the winners or fighting about how the voting turned out.

“I know, does it feel like we got robbed? Sure. Let's be classy about it, guys. Let's not go and make a big ruckus on Twitter,” he said.

He also warned that people from outside his community might try to pass themselves off as part of the Bungulators and post negative stuff. His advice was simple: “Just ignore it, guys. Just ignore it. It's, like, no big deal.”

Worth remembering, he had won Best VTuber and Best FPS Streamer at the 2025 ceremony, so this year's three-category shutout is pretty different than what happened last time.

Nickmercs backs TheBurntPeanut's response while criticising the Streamer Awards results

Nicholas “Nickmercs” also weighed in after the losses. The Twitch and Kick personality suggested the results weren't hard to read, saying, “Everybody knows what it is.”

He didn't stop there and called those responsible “a bunch of losers.” But he also got why TheBurntPeanut was trying to keep things under control.

“I think he's just trying to control... he doesn't want the **** to blow up and get out of hand, and I can appreciate that,” Nickmercs said.

People can take things too far, he added, and he described the awards results as “really not that big of a deal.”

QTCinderella, who hosted the 2026 ceremony alongside Caroline Kwan, hadn't responded to Nickmercs' comments at the time of reporting.

Ironmouse was one of five nominees in the Best VTuber category, alongside TheBurntPeanut, Crelly, Gigi Murin and Koseki Bijou. Voting worked on a split, with public votes making up 70% of the result and an industry panel covering the other 30%.
