  • Comment: I'm on the fence about this one, but I feel like it might be just over the borderline of notable; granted, the majority of the significant coverage is regarding the controversies, so it mostly becomes a question of whether this coverage is enough to demonstrate GNG being met. I feel like this wouldn't survive AFD, but I'm also not sure if that's not a bad thing as far as getting a better community consensus on his notability. Primefac (talk) 17:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Federico Michael Gaytan (born August 7, 1995), better known by his alias FEDMYSTER, is an American Twitch streamer and YouTube personality. Gaytan is best known for his live streams on the Twitch platform, where he streams his gaming and IRL experiences.[5] He is a former member of Offline TV, an online social entertainment group of content creators.

Biography

Gaytan was born in 1995 to Mexican-American parents. He grew up with a brother in the Los Angeles area. He attended the University of California, Santa Cruz, but dropped out in his last semester as a result of his father passing away and in order to support his mother and brother.[6]

Gaytan was a full-time video editor for content creator Christian "IWDominate" Rivera, a former pro player for Team Liquid. He stopped editing for Rivera as he was invited to join the group Offline TV as an editor in June 2017.[7] Gaytan has discussed how joining Offline TV was an extremely huge risk and how living at the house made him lose all his preceding friends, even stating that, at first, he was earning 90% less than what he used to. On July 8, 2017, he published his first YouTube video with the group, where he was formally introduced as the group's editor.[8] After this, he went on to make many videos with them, garnering millions of views for the channel. Gaytan grew popular among the fanbase and was officially named as part of talent in January 2018.

Twitch streaming

Gaytan began his streaming career in early January 2018, after transitioning from being the editor for Offline TV. He would further reap successes from this transition, as in the same year, his Twitch emote called "Fed7" had been used a reported 431 million times in three months, making it the most popular emote on the site at that time.[9]

Controversies

Gaytan has been banned by Twitch on several occasions since he began streaming. His first ban occurred on November 28, 2017, where he was banned for jokingly photoshopping cleavage on pictures of his roommates Pokimane and Lilypichu for a YouTube thumbnail. The ban lasted 24 hours.[10] He was banned a second time in May 2018 after he showed a business card with personal information during an IRL stream. The ban lasted 3 days.[11] His third ban, which occurred on July 20, 2018, was met with controversy. Gaytan was doing an unusual stream at the time, watching paint dry on a canvas while also not interacting with the online audience. An anonymous donator submitted a message that included derogatory term the "N-word." A text to speech system read the message out loud and could not by stopped by his roommate due to a bug in the streaming software. Twitch responded with a 7-day ban, mainly due to Gaytan staying in character and not being able to mute the audio.[12] His fourth ban occurred on April 1, 2019, after an intoxicated Gaytan knocked over private property during a live stream in Japan. The ban lasted 14 days.[13]

FEDMYSTER2 was temporarily banned on May 1, 2020 after Gaytan accidentally showed a glimpse of a nude picture of another streamer named Alinity while scrolling on Twitter. The ban, originally set for 3 days, was controversial as it was longer than the one imposed on Alinity herself (24 hours).[14][15] The ban was lifted early after Gaytan appealed it to Twitch staff.[16]

On 8 May, 2020, Gaytan's emote FedSimp had been taken down on the grounds of targeted harassment and bullying. Although he claimed my community never used it with ill intent and It was mostly banter and, in some cases, a compliment. Really unfortunate... One of my favorite emotes, the spamming of this emote on another streamer's channel lead to it being taken down.[17]

Sexual Misconduct & Allegations

On June 27, 2020, fellow Offline TV members Yvonne "Yvonnie" Ng and Lily "LilyPichu" Ki came forward with sexual misconduct allegations involving Gaytan.[18] Ng stated that on two separate instances, Gaytan would enter her room uninvited, lay down on her bed, and begin inappropriately touching her.[19] Ki stated that Gaytan would also enter her room uninvited and make inappropriate advances on her.[20] These allegations resulted in Gaytan's immediate removal from the group.[21][22][23] The situation was further elaborated on by fellow roommate and streamer Pokimane, wherein she discussed that he had also made advances on her personal life and fueled growing distrust between the two. Anys also conveyed how her situation with Gaytan, contributed the most to her leaving the Offline TV house.[24]
