A pair of livestreamers have sparked outrage after joking about dropping atomic bombs while recently streaming themselves in Hiroshima, Japan.
Reports identified the duo as Ice Poseidon, an American YouTuber known for his IRL streaming content, and Vexxed, an Irish YouTuber known for his videos covering other content creators. Their controversial clip surfaced on Reddit on New Year’s Day.
The minute-long clip opens with Vexxed asking, “You want that radioactive p*ssy?”
“Did you see how they looked at me?” Ice Poseidon responds, pointing to a 7-Eleven. “I dropped your bag when I was in there. They looked at me like I dropped an atomic bomb.”
A third person accompanying the YouTubers is then heard asking the pair, “What happened?” Vexxed and Ice Poseidon, however, continue to laugh while joking “They got PTSD.”
The clip continues with Vexxed making a hand gesture that mimics dropping a bomb and ends with the pair approaching a group of Japanese women, with Ice Poseidon speaking to them in Japanese.
Hiroshima, a city southwest of Japan, is known for its nuclear destruction in World War II. Along with Nagasaki, it was the target of the world’s first atomic bomb on a populated area.
While it's unclear when exactly the clip was filmed, Ice Poseidon, whose real name is Paul Denino, tweeted that he was in Japan for an "irl subathon" on Dec. 10, 2022.
"So far on my irl subathon we have, streamed with gangsters, gone on dates with Japanese girls, made new connections, climbed rooftops explored an abandoned love hotel, streamed in underground clubs and documented unregulated markets," he wrote in another tweet a week after.
His latest Twitter update on Dec. 26 stated, "My new tat. It says ice in Kanji. Straight osaka gangsta in japan. Subathon been going 12 days straight I feel manic."

Vexxed, meanwhile, has been inactive on his various socials. His bio on Twitter, which he last posted from in March 2021, states he is "On Hiatus from Video Making" while "pursuing a Masters degree."
Redditors slammed the YouTubers in the comments.
“Trust me, he's a loser in America too,” one wrote.
“It's wild that they A. Have no shame in voicing those views publicly. B. Chose to visit that country. And C. Chose to record and post that sort of foolishness,” another commented.
“Next stop is the suicide forrest , I presume,” one commenter wrote, referring to YouTuber Logan Paul’s infamous 2018 scandal.
