FaZe Clan member Jason “Jasontheween” is speaking out after receiving harassment and death threats following his appearance at the Streamer Prom event with Sakura Shymko, the younger sister of streamer Kyedae.
Held on June 18 in Houston and organized by Twitch streamer Funny Mike, the prom was inspired by Kai Cenat’s Streamer University. Jason and Sakura quickly became one of the most talked-about pairs after a viral clip showed Sakura kissing Jason during the event.
Following the clip's spread across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), online speculation began to circulate suggesting Sakura wasn’t genuinely interested in Jason. This led to a wave of negativity and threatening messages directed at both creators.
In a public post, Jason addressed the backlash: “Sakura and I are fine. Please stop sending death threats and harassment, especially toward her. Our streams are for entertainment, but things can be misinterpreted.”
Sakura and I are fine. Please stop sending death threats and harassment, especially toward her. Our streams are for entertainment, but things can be misinterpreted. Today didn’t go as expected, but we’re grateful for the support. Please be kind, we’re all human. Thank you.

He went on to thank fans for their support and urged kindness in the community. “Please be kind, we’re all human,” he added.
Many fans rallied behind Jason and Sakura in the comments, condemning the threats. One user wrote, “Death threats over a Twitch stream should result in a felony.”
This incident follows a similar case in March when Valkyrae faced threats after a stream-sniping controversy. The growing trend highlights the increasing emotional intensity around parasocial relationships in the streaming world.
