Netizens react as Twitch streamer Fandy welcomes baby during live birth

While some users congratulated Fandy for her bold content about live-streaming her child’s birth on Twitch, others suggested that it was inappropriate to stream such content online. The video raised questions about a mother and a child’s safety and privacy during such a time.

A user noted:

“We're really streaming everything these days, huh? Some moments should probably stay private.”

Another user added:

“What’s wrong with making this private? You guys have no idea the spirits you’re inviting into your homes when you expose sacredness. Just anything for content.”

A third said:

“How starved of attention you gotta be to not only stream your baby's birth, but also risk its and her health, by having a home birth because you can't stream this in a hospital?”

A user posted on X:

“I don’t know what this generation is turning into How do you as the father of the child feel safe your wife is doing this.”

However, some of the users praised Fandy for her decision to livestream her delivery:

A user chimed:

“I'm gonna be honest. I don't think there's anything morally wrong with livestreaming a live birth. Birth is a beautiful and wonderful thing. However, I DO think it should be age restricted, and people who get off on it should get their heads examined by a pneumatic drill.”

Someone commented:

“This is actually a beautiful thing to watch people. Nothing unethical about this, if you’re just young I understand.”

A user said:

“Before you comment something weird or nasty, go watch the vod. It was super beautiful and incredible to watch. She had approval to stream this and didn’t show anything graphic. What a cool thing to do in one of the hardest moments of her life ugh.”

Recent reports online stated that Fandy gave birth to a baby girl. She named her Luna, according to a post shared by Dexerto on X. She welcomed her daughter with her husband, who goes by the username @adamaxbro on Instagram.
