After 8 years of remaining anonymous, a popular Minecraft YouTuber and streamer who goes by the alias “Dream” revealed his face on October 2nd, 2022.
Dream is a popular content creator focused on Minecraft, and he rose to fame from his videos, from the Dream SMP and manhunts. With over 31 million subscribers, his face reveal was anticipated by his fans, and people were ecstatic to see his face.
As the time of the reveal came closer and closer, Dream’s posts on Twitter and other content creators’ reactions to his face helped to hype up the event even more. One of his content creator friends, Tommyinnit, even tweeted out, “alright I’ll say it Dream Is Hot” after he had seen Dream’s face for the first time.
After his face reveal, reactions from the public have been mixed. There have been people who think that he’s attractive, but there are even more people who are roasting him for being ugly.
On Twitter, Dream has been compared to every single character from Shrek. Like Lord Farquaad, Prince Charming, Shrek but in human form, Rumpelstiltskin, other faces like the troll face, Bowser from Mario Kart, Spiderus, Shane Dawson, Danny Gonzalez, and about every white guy with short blond hair.
Dream said the reason for his face reveal was so that he could meet up with friends in real life without worrying about his face being leaked. He thought it could also do more different content in his interview with Antony Padilla.
It wasn’t necessary for so many people to hate him for looking like any other white person. Even if he faked his speed runs or made awful music, people should still treat him as a person. It’s unrealistic to assume that anonymous content creators all look attractive and fit into every beauty standard. Not every person is going to be a cute #nyc #07 #08 Pinterest gamer boy.
