Streamer Nick Eh 30 is a popular Fortnite content creator, recognized for his family-friendly gameplay broadcasts. Recently, however, some online users accused him of hypocrisy after clips showing him allegedly exhibiting transphobic behavior went viral on November 2, 2025. The streamer has yet to publicly respond to these allegations and has continued with his regular schedule.

The controversy began after rumors of a possible collaboration with the Harry Potter franchise started circulating within the Fortnite community. In reaction to the speculation, some X users, like @Wensoing, suggested that such a collaboration would be inherently transphobic:

"TRANSPHOBIA IS COMING TO FORTNITE IN CHAPTER 7 SEASON 1."

For context, the author of the Harry Potter book series, J.K. Rowling, has been accused of being transphobic based on controversial comments she made in the past.

In a follow-up post, @Wensoing posted a call for action against Fortnite's developer, Epic Games, and for the cancellation of the rumored Harry Potter crossover:

"For the unaware, series creator J.K. Rowling has a well-documented history of making harmful transphobic remarks... despite this, Epic Games still made the disappointing decision to collaborate with the franchise. If you feel frustrated about this, I recommend directing these frustrations towards the official Fortnite account - this is the best way to make your voice heard..."

While reviewing his X page, Nick Eh 30 noticed @Wensoing's posts and decided to remove them from his timeline, saying:

"What is this, bro? I'm removing this guy. Holy crap."

In response, some users, like @FuellFire, accused him of "being transphobic":

"guy who claims to be 'family friendly' and 'spread good vibes' being transphobic."

More users chimed in, criticizing Nick Eh 30's decision.

"@NickEh30 F**k you, you transphobe," @P0wer_Vizi0n wrote.

"'Never Back Down' until it's time to call out the billion dollar company for collaborating with a transphobe," @renegaderelic0 posted.

Some, like @conykevin, criticized the streamer's content:

"mid ahh content tailored to children anyway."
