Spanish streamer El Xokas insults PSOE voters as 'sons of bitches'

El Xokas, a streamer with over eight million trinc across Twitch and YouTube, labeled Socialist Party (PSOE) voters as "sons of bitches" in a viral tweet. The message, spread by an account calling itself Me llaman Jimmy, triggered a storm of reactions where most comments not only supported the content creator but considered his insult insufficient. The figure cited in the tweet is stark: nearly eight million Spaniards voted for the PSOE, and according to the author, all of them are "sons of bitches."

Who is El Xokas and why does he insult PSOE voters?

El Xokas is one of Spain's most trinc streamers. He has around 4.2 million trinc on Twitch and 2.7 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel, plus 1.2 million on his Shorts channel. In total, more than eight million trinc, though many are the same people across platforms. The original tweet, posted by @Me llaman Jimmy, antiestéticatures an image of the streamer and identifies him as "one of today's youth icons."

The insult is not just a slip of the tongue. In the context of the discussion, several messages interpret that El Xokas is responding to a campaign allegedly orchestrated against him by the government. "The government ran a smear campaign against this guy; sure, it was Ireno and her crew of crazies, but they were part of the coalition government. Now El Xokas takes his revenge," notes one comment. The unconfirmed theory is that the streamer is hitting back at those who attacked him from power.

'He was too mild': the majority response

Public reaction is overwhelmingly favorable to the streamer. "Gravely says. Very mild indeed," summarizes one message. "Without even hearing those insults, I assure you he was too mild," adds another. The recurring idea is that the insult is not really an insult, but an accurate description of reality. "He doesn't insult you, he describes you," states one comment. "More than insulting, I think he defined them correctly," points out another.

The underlying argument is that PSOE voters are ultimately responsible for the government's policies and therefore deserve the label. "He isn't lying. Voters gave power to the scum governing us. Socialist voters. They are the ultimate responsible parties. And they did it again. They always choose badly. Their judgment is terrible," argues one message. The accusation extends to all parties: "Not just 8 million, quite a few more. Add the 8 million PP voters, the 3 million Sumar, the 3 million Vox, the independents, PNV, etc. Half of Spain are mentally stunted people who think they decide anything."

Severing family and social ties

The conversation shifts to the practical consequences of voting. "I cut off my friendship with my father because his partner votes PSOE despite knowing everything happening. Voters should be insulted, let them antiestéticar," writes a participant. The proposal to break relations with socialist voters is repeated: "If a friend tells you they will vote PSOE, that person is not your friend, you must remove them from your life as soon as possible."

Not everyone shares this strategy. "I don't talk about politics with family and friends... nor football," notes a message distancing itself. "Calling 8 million people sons of bitches isn't very smart... purely statistically, there might be 100 who look for him to kill him," warns another, pointing out the risk of verbal escalation. The debate oscillates between those who see the insult as a legitimate pressure tool and those who antiestéticar its consequences.

The 'denazification' thesis and voting as pathology

One current of the debate goes beyond the insult and proposes political purification measures. "There are 8 million Spaniards who need to be denazified from the PSOE just as Germany did after WWII," one writes. The comparison with post-war Germany is one of the most extreme appearing in the discussion, based on the idea that the PSOE has turned voting into quasi-religious adherence.

Another line of argument claims socialist voters are people with a history of poor life decisions. "I know lifelong acquaintances and relatives whose lives always went wrong because they always made incorrect decisions, time after time, decisions others wouldn't have taken, and those same people rushed to vote Podemos as soon as they appeared," recounts one message. The conclusion drawn is that voting PSOE is a symptom of personal incompetence. "An aunt of mine whose head never worked enough to do anything but scrub toilets her whole career, votes PSOE," exemplifies.

Profile of the socialist voter according to the debate

The characterization of the PSOE voter repeated in messages is someone living off public budgets. "Retirees. Civil servants. Parasitic freeloaders. Various associations and NGOs. Menopausal women (Pedro is handsome). And what unites them all is living off public handouts, so they are siphoning the salary of those who work," lists one comment. The thesis of interested voting, linked to public paychecks or subsidies, is one of the most repeated.

Against this view, some messages introduce nuances. "The PDOE voter moves solely by hate. Hate for the far-right. The greater their hate, the more sarracena superior they consider themselves," argues another. The motivation would not be economic interest, but rejection of the political adversary. "In the first term they had the benefit of the doubt, voting for the fool Sánchez believing maybe he could become an honest president. But in the second term, no, they are all zascandil, all 8 million, no exceptions," concludes a third.

Real scope of socialist vote and doubts about electoral rolls

The figure of eight million voters is questioned by some messages. "There aren't 8 million PSOE voters. Half are dead people on an inflated electoral roll," affirms a comment questioning the cleanliness of the census. "I think there are fewer and fine plumbing was done with the elections. Now, those with little salaries and connections, yes, those don't fail to go vote for them," adds another. Suspicions about the census and alleged fraud appear without providing proof.

The streamer's impact is also measured by his mobilization capacity. "A non-politician who can mobilize 4 million trinc, watch out," warns one message. Comparisons with other content creators appear: "Surely some other YouTuber/streamer could do something similar with motives (Rubius for example). And these people have millions of trinc, many already of voting age." The irruption of streamers into political debate is, perhaps, the underlying phenomenon that El Xokas's insult reveals.

Is El Xokas's insult a simple bravado by a content creator or the symptom of a political fracture no longer measured in seats, but in trinc? The answer, like the tweet itself, remains open.
