The 2025 Streamer Awards ceremony is currently underway in Los Angeles, recognising streamers from different categories, including VTubers. TheBurntPeanut clinched Best VTuber, and some fans opposed this decision, suggesting that there were better candidates for the title, ones that represent the category much better.

The official @StreamerAwards X account posted after TheBurntPeanut's win, calling them the "Best P-Tuber," saying:

"BEST VTUBER? Nah... BEST P-TUBER!! 🥜Congrats to @theburntpeanut for winning Best VTuber!"

Some, like @KitsuneroVT, claimed that the Peanut understood that he wasn't a conventional VTuber and encouraged his fanbase to vote for him anyway:

"The guy knows he’s not a vtuber and pushed his community to vote for him to piss vtubers off :3"

"Not a V-Tuber BTW, just some camera filter," said @JDanko04 on X.

Others claimed that TheBurntPeanut did not like the VTube community as a whole:

"the guy who makes fun of vtubers and said verbatim that he doesnt like them...nice," said @leadpolarbear on X.

On the contrary, some, like @Valoney_, predicted that the VTuber community fans would speak against the Peanut, especially because their favourite creator did not win the prize:

"im waiting for the vtuber fans to harass peanut that tends to happen when their favourite vtuber doesn't win the reward."

Others congratulated the P-Tuber:

"Congrats to peanut! He deserves it!," said @DarkSalxm on X.
"I ain’t even mad. The whole vtuber lineup was so good this year. Congrats!!!," said @YouSpoonyBard1 on X.

Streamer xQc, who was nominated for "Best Just Chatting Streamer", reacted to the Peanut's win and suggested that their victory reflects badly on other VTubers, especially those who spent a great deal of time, money and effort to create sophisticated character models:

"VTubers in shambles... Imagine being a VTuber taking out a f**king loan against a bank from a big f**king corporate to get a model that's costing $60,000 to lose to the f**king scuffest, piece of sh*t, avatar from f**king Windows 95, that’s crazy!"
