"I knew there was a reason I liked you": Pokimane, Sakura, FaZe Jason, and more react to fake coming-out post about Twitch streamer Arky

Twitch streamer Bryce “Arky” was involved in a viral prank when a post made through his account claimed he had come out as gay, prompting reactions across social media.

The announcement was not real, but at first, many people believed it. The post was made using Bryce's account by his fellow streamers FaZe Lacy and Jason, also known as Jasontheween. They later revealed it was a prank, but by then the reactions had already gone viral.

The now-deleted post made through the streamer's account read:

"This has been such a long time coming and i appreciate all of you for supporting me on this journey, its been a very hard couple of days making this decision but i want to finally tell the world the truth. I have been holding this in for almost a year. I am gay and proud of it"

Many famous influencers and streamers including Nick "Nmplol," Emily "Emiru," Rachel "Valkyrae," and Ludwig Ahgren congratulated Bryce, believing he was the one who wrote the social media post. Nmplol responded:

"I knew it the way you and Arther were kissing that one time after stream. Then yall went on the jet skis together at sunset. Congrats man super proud of you!"

"hell yeah arky!!!!"

Emiru said. Furthermore, Valkyrae replied:

""YAY ARKY!!!! happy and proud of you"

"congrats bro proud of you <3"

Ludwig proudly congratulated.

Arky gives a clarification regarding the post and aftermath

When Bryce went live with FaZe Lacy and Jasontheween, the truth came out. He explained that the post was made as a joke. Both Lacy and Jason admitted they were behind it. Bryce laughed about how many people believed it so quickly.

The prank led to discussions about how fast news spreads in the streaming world. Many fans said it was a reminder to double-check facts before reacting. Others pointed out that the supportive replies showed a positive side of the community, even if the situation was not real.

Bryce responded:

People been calling my phone. There's been, like, three people, bro. Emiru said, 'Hell yeah, Arky.' Ludwig said, 'Congrats, bro, proud of you.' This s**t was believable, bro. Now I got tell people I'm not gay now, bro. Wait, Jason, look at me."

"I'm proud of you, bro. It is believable, it doesn't look believable, bro.You had to do that in the first place." Jasontheween said

Bryce has since made it clear that he did not come out as gay. He said he finds the situation funny but also tiring to explain.
