The escalating drama involving TommyInnit and Mizkif has taken an unexpected turn, drawing in numerous former members of the Dream SMP and reigniting old tensions. It all began when Tommy termed Mizkif as the “worst person he’s ever met,” prompting a retaliatory response from Mizkif and subsequent involvement from xQc. This chain reaction saw Tommy defending himself against xQc as well, intensifying the conflict.
In a surprising twist, Dream entered the fray, criticizing Tommy for assuming the role of the “internet police” and using derogatory terms to describe his fanbase. This unexpected comment set off a series of events, leading to members of the old Dream SMP digging up past private messages and revisiting old grievances.
The controversy has escalated to such a degree that the families of former Dream SMP associates are also calling out Dream, expanding the conflict well beyond TommyInnit. The spotlight is now firmly on Dream, as the ramifications of this drama continue to unfold.
Trigger Point: Dream’s Controversial Meme
The drama was ignited by a now-deleted meme posted by Dream, which depicted “Dream SMP stans” at a crossroads: one path labeled “growing up” and the other disparagingly referred to as “becoming a r**arded TommyInnit fan.” Although Dream subsequently deleted the tweet, he made a Reddit post addressing those who pressured him to remove it.
In his statement, Dream expressed his frustration, stating, “I have my own reasons for having a problem with Tommy going around being the ‘internet police’,” revealing that his intention was never to offend every Dream SMP fan, but rather to criticize Tommy’s actions and perceived lack of integrity.
Dream reflected on the incident, admitting, “Twitter is somehow even less reasonable than I thought,” while cautioning against using language that could be deemed offensive, regardless of the context. The backlash from his comments was swift, leading Tubbo, another prominent former Dream SMP member, to publicly defend Tommy and counter Dream’s remarks.

Tubbo emphasized that Dream’s statement revealed a lack of understanding of Tommy’s character, asserting that Tommy has consistently demonstrated integrity and courage in his interactions with others. He argued that any claims regarding Tommy lacking a backbone are misguided.
TommyInnit’s Assertive Response to Dream
In a decisive move, TommyInnit addressed Dream’s comments directly in a video titled simply “Dream.” He opened with a pointed critique of Dream’s use of the R slur, stressing the inappropriateness of such language. Citing his volunteer work with adults with disabilities and personal experiences, Tommy implored Dream to consider the impact of his words.
Tommy further criticized Dream for diminishing the reputation of his friends during a stream and accused him of fostering a toxic environment, particularly concerning how women are treated in their circles. He also aired grievances about how Dream had previously exploited his naivety as a younger creator.
“Four years ago, you were awful to me. When I was 16, you gave me YouTube advice and held that over my head for years, making me feel small,” Tommy stated, suggesting that Dream’s manipulative actions contributed significantly to his success.
The culmination of Tommy’s grievances led him to label Dream as a “villain,” asserting that Dream had harassed his mother during a difficult time in her life, prompting another wave of backlash against Dream. In support, Tommy’s mother took to social media to condemn Dream, calling him an “ableist pr*ck.”
Couldn’t be arsed getting involved. There’s no ambiguity about using the R slur. Then I saw the bit about being autistic which really fucked me off. Being autistic and being an ableist prick are 2 completely different things. Big love to all my neuro-spicy pals. ❤️

What’s Next for Dream and TommyInnit?
In the wake of the outcry, Dream has indicated that he will produce a video response to address the accusations and clarify his point of view: “I’m not sure why TommyInnit decided to attack and lie about me in front of his entire audience,” he remarked, hinting at the serious nature of the ongoing feud. As of now, Dream’s anticipated response video has yet to be released, but he previously faced accusations of grooming in 2023, allegations he firmly denied.
This saga underscores the complexities of internet interactions and the powerful ripple effects one comment can generate. The ongoing feud highlights the challenges creators face in navigating their public personas and personal relationships within the gaming community.
