Sykkuno Directly Addresses Detractors: 'They Hate Me and Want Me to Be Gone Forever'
Four days after returning to Twitch, Sykkuno went on-stream to explain his reasoning to an audience that includes people who, by his own characterization, wish he would disappear — while separately confirming his relationship status and describing his past conduct as 'horrible.'
On June 9, Twitch streamer Sykkuno addressed critics of his platform return during a live broadcast, according to reporting by Sportskeeda. He acknowledged the existence of viewers who, in his framing, "hate him and want him to be gone forever," and offered that acknowledgment as part of his stated rationale for resuming streaming activity after a months-long absence.
The statement came four days after Sykkuno's June 5 return to Twitch, and on the same day that fresh criticism of that return was circulating online. It marks the first time, for the record, that Sykkuno has directly characterized the opposition to his comeback in his own words on-stream, rather than through written statements.
The relationship question
Separately, a June 4 report from Sportskeeda attributed to Sykkuno the statement that he and his girlfriend are "happy together" following the cheating controversy that prompted his April departure. He also described his past conduct toward her as "horrible," according to the same report. The June 4 date corresponds with Sykkuno's on-record silence-breaking on the controversy, which also produced the permanent chat ban of viewer AsuraHD from his channel that same day.
What's documented
The cheating controversy originated with allegations published by VTuber HemomalVT in mid-April. Sykkuno admitted infidelity in a joint statement with his girlfriend on approximately April 16-17 and announced a break from streaming at that time. A My Hero Academia voice actor dubbed his apology video on April 26. Disguised Toast addressed Sykkuno's persona and criticized fans on May 1. Sodapoppin stated he was "glad" Sykkuno had been exposed on April 21. Sykkuno returned to Twitch on June 5. Pokimane commented on that return on June 12.
Chronology of the return phase
1. June 5, 2026 — Sykkuno resumes streaming on Twitch after approximately seven weeks away.
2. June 4, 2026 — Sykkuno states his girlfriend is "happy" with him and calls his past behavior "horrible," per Sportskeeda.
3. June 4, 2026 — Viewer AsuraHD is permanently banned from Sykkuno's Twitch chat.
4. June 9, 2026 — Sykkuno addresses critics on-stream, referencing those who "hate him and want him to be gone forever," per Sportskeeda.
What happens next
Open questions include whether Sykkuno's on-stream remarks about his detractors will prompt a second wave of public responses from other streamers; whether his girlfriend will make any further public statement beyond the joint April declaration; and whether any of the original accusers — HemomalVT, Leia, NamiKitsunami, or others — will respond to his characterization of the opposition to his return.
