Ludwig calls out 'pathetic' transphobes after learning of trans viewer's death
""It's tough living on Earth," he said, "But it is also a gunshot reminder, like, how extremely difficult it is, especially now if you're trans. That s**t is, like, New Game plus plus plus [a game mechanic which intentionally makes a video game more challenging].""
""I feel like it's such a callousness towards the livelihoods of people who just want to live their life. It's such a f**king stupid focal point of politics, literally just to try and build a base to get elected. Like there's literally no other reason. It is like the most pathetic part of the resurgence of right-wing politics.""
""Are you f**king with me? Or did KanaBana just change her name?""
Ludwig learned during a world championships livestream that KanaBana, a longtime trans viewer who had followed since his early years, had died. He reacted emotionally on camera, pausing the broadcast to process the news and later honored her memory on X/Twitter. He described the experience as a stark reminder of how difficult life can be for trans people and criticized the political focus on transgender issues as callous and opportunistic. He characterized the politicization as a strategy to build electoral bases and called such tactics "pathetic" amid a broader resurgence of right-wing politics.
