“It sets like a weird a** precedent.”: Cinna questions the ethics behind Corey2U's $250K chain move

The Twitch world is all a flutter after a strange moment where streamer Corey2U apparently tried to pawn off a fellow creator YourRAGE‘s $250,000 chain. What was presumably intended as an outrageous “troll” has started backlash throughout the community, most prominently from streamer Brittany “Cinna,” who publicly challenged the morality and sustainability of such antics.Caught red-handed at a pawn shop by YourRAGE’s security team, Corey2U was publicly confronted and knocked down, adding a chaotic real-world layer to a saga that many assumed was online theatrics. Now, as the dust settles, it’s the wider implications being discussed.

Cinna: “Even if He is Trolling”

Reacting on a recent livestream, Cinna didn’t hold back when she discussed Corey2U’s behavior, “I gotta be thinking that he's trolling. There's no way.

But either way, this is a really bad troll. Like, this is something that like, even if he is trolling, I think is mad weird, 'cause I think it sets like a weird a** precedent."

Her remarks have resonated with audiences and other streamers alike, particularly as Twitch gains momentum with younger, sometimes malleable creators. What was once the stomping ground of gamers and casual creators has now devolved into a high-stakes arena where hijinks are all too easily viral, for better or worse.

The Real Stakes Behind the Stream

Although some watchers initially dismissed the incident with laughter, the background narrative provides a different lens. Corey2U was said to be assisting YourRAGE on the rebound, after the former double knee surgery. Playing the role of a self-proclaimed “caretaker”, Corey’s backstabbing stings even more, making you wonder about trust in the streamer community.What once appeared to be a prank could now be perceived by many as taking advantage of a person’s physical challenges as a setting for cloud-chasing. With an increasing number of streamers pushing limits to distinguish themselves, where is the line?

The Bigger Picture: Influence and Accountability

Cinna’s reaction echoes an increasing discomfort in the streaming sphere.

As makers become brands and moments get monetized, the industry has a moral crossroads. For newer streamers, particularly those idolizing the likes of Corey2U, such ‘trolls’ muddy the waters between entertainment and repercussion.Establishing a “weird a** precedent,” as Cinna describes it, isn’t merely about optics. It’s about accountability. When behavior once deemed outrageous becomes normalized, in the name of content, the question becomes: Who’s holding the line.

The Corey2U saga might be slipping off the headlines soon, but the ripple effect will remain. Joke or not, these are the moments that define live-streaming culture. As Cinna rightly flagged, “even if he is trolling,” it’s time for streamers and the platforms they flourish on, to confront the type of precedent they’re establishing.
