While making controversial remarks is one way for Twitch streamers to gain some notoriety, once they join professional eSports teams, it can land them in hot water. This is the case for professional Fortnite player and Twitch streamer Jordan "Scubby" Selleck, who has been fired from the HavoK eSports team after saying he would dare people threatening suicide "to do it" and then never speak with them again.

Twitch has since closed Scubby's channel for violating the company's terms of service. The professional Fortnite player then recorded a YouTube video of him apologizing for his remarks. The comments on the YouTube video are disabled, but it has over 3,000 dislikes at the time of this writing, and glancing at Scubby's Twitter feed reveals that very few are buying his apology as genuine.

The excessive jump cuts and Scubby's statement in the video that "suicide is an incredibly cowardly and selfish thing to do" have both been called out by people on Twitter as signs that his apology video isn't genuine. Regardless, it's clear that Scubby will have to do a lot more if he hopes to win back support from the community, if that's even possible at this point.

The controversy surrounding Scubby's remarks about suicide and mental health in general come just a month after YouTube personality Logan Paul uploaded a video featuring the dead body of someone that recently committed suicide. The backlash against Paul was rather severe, and he has similarly been criticized for how he has handled the situation in the days since.

Because of the Logan Paul incident, it's arguable the the public is even more sensitive to these topics than they would be otherwise, and it's not surprising that Scubby's comments have cost him his position with the HavoK eSports team. Hopefully other eSports players and Twitch streamers learn from the backlash Scubby is facing, and we see less incidents like this moving forward.

Fortnite is available now in early access on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
