A livestream in Vietnam has turned into a heated online debate after a Canadian streamer was slapped by an Indian man inside a 7-Eleven store in Saigon.The incident involving Kick streamer John Ly, known online as JohnWhatsGoingOn, was caught on camera during his livestream and has since gone viral across social media.According to the video circulating online, Ly was filming inside the convenience store when he turned his camera towards two Indian men. One of them repeatedly asked him not to film him and told him to “keep the camera away”.But Ly continued recording and engaging with the men, and the exchange soon became increasingly heated.At one point, Ly appears to tell one of the men, “This is not New Delhi.” The man again asks him to stop filming and move the camera away.The two men then accuse the streamer of provoking them for content. One of them tells Ly that he is “monetising hate” and asks him to leave the store.The confrontation continues, with the men appearing to push Ly towards the exit while repeatedly telling him to keep his camera away.Things then turn physical.Another man approaches Ly and slaps him while the livestream is still running. Ly continues filming as the argument carries on before eventually leaving the store.Later in the video, Ly appears to say, “No one likes Indians out here.”What happened before the slap?Several posts shared online on October 4 claimed that Ly had been filming or bothering the men for around 20 minutes before the confrontation. Some posts also accused him of making racial remarks.However, those claims could not be independently verified from the available footage.The viral video has drawn mixed reactions. Many viewers criticised Ly for continuing to film after being repeatedly asked to stop, saying people should be able to ask not to be featured in livestream content.Others argued that even if the streamer was being provocative, slapping him was an unnecessary escalation.One user wrote, “He himself is a Filipino/Asian and being racist to an Indian, not really cool. And I don’t support any kind of violence or physical altercation.”Another said, “Initially, I was supporting the Vietnam streamer in the video, but after watching the entire video and hearing two words in the last part of the video, I would rather support those two Indian brothers more.”The incident has once again put the spotlight on IRL streaming, where creators broadcast their interactions with people and places in real time. As the format grows, so does the debate over where entertainment ends and a stranger’s personal boundaries begin.
