You know how influencers will stream anything these days?
Well, Twitch streamer Fandy just raised the bar or, uh, the contractions…
So, Texas-based gaming influencer Fandy (real name not disclosed because the internet doesn’t need to know everything, ironically) went full viral on October 8 by livestreaming the birth of her second child on Twitch. Yep, not a gaming session, not a Q&A, but an actual home birth, live, with thousands watching.
The stream showed the full process. No filters, no cutaways, and after the internet collectively gasped, Fandy explained on Instagram that it wasn’t for clout or cash.
“There are many documented births out there,” she wrote.
“This was no different, except it was live.”
She said it was a deeply personal decision after a rough hospital experience with her first child.
Critics accused her of monetizing motherhood, but Fandy was quick to clap back saying, no donation goals, no subs, no money grabs. “We were busy,” she joked, because, yeah, priorities.
She also revealed she’s quitting OnlyFans to focus entirely on Twitch streaming again. “I started as a streamer 10 years ago, and that’s what I’ll continue to be.”
Maybe it’s oversharing, maybe it’s authenticity but either way, I have some thoughts.
There’s something sacred about childbirth, right?
It’s raw, vulnerable, messy but also deeply private. It’s one of those few moments in life where the world is supposed to fade away, not tune in with popcorn and a Twitch chat.
But I can also understand why Fandy did it. She wanted to reclaim a moment she felt was taken from her the first time around. Her first birth, by her own words, was a hospital nightmare. Impersonal, clinical, filled with people who didn’t listen.
So maybe this time, streaming was to do it on her own terms, with people who’ve been part of her life for a decade.
Was it a good idea?
That’s debatable. Privacy now means something entirely different than it did 10 years ago. The line between “personal” and “public” is blurry, especially when your career literally depends on letting strangers in.
But about the kid, poor Luna’s first glimpse of humanity might’ve been Twitch chat saying “GG” and spamming emotes. Welcome to 2025, where even your first breath might be broadcast in 1080p.
THE WHY: VALIDATION
1.5 stars out of 5 for this story because it’s not the strangest thing we’ve seen on the internet, but it’s one of those moments that makes you stop and wonder, if we’ve traded too much privacy…
Some milestones should be shared with hearts, not hearts reacting in chat.
“Look, most of us want a normal life without any drama, but life in this world is always strange, and uncertain.
I don’t need your email. I don’t want to bug you with a billion notifications. All I ask is this, if you felt something here, if this made you think, laugh, or even shake your head in disbelief, just bookmark ‘Averagebeing.com’ and come back tomorrow.
That’s it. No strings. Just you, me, and this stupid world.”
