Ranboo came out as gay in a series of tweets, noting that he had never been opposed to coming out and had dropped many hints in the past.

Initially, the video game streamer started the discussion surrounding his sexuality by starting a Q&A thread with his followers, since he would take a break from streaming for a while.

“Welp seeing as how I won’t be able to give you guys content for a bit because my sins have finally caught up with me it’s QNA TIME ASK ME THE DEEPEST THING YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ME TO KNOW,” he tweeted.

Good. Do not judge me on where I place my attraction that is for me to know and for others to be really confused about — Ranboo (@Ranboosaysstuff) March 16, 2022

When a user asked what his favorite heart-stopper moment was, Ranboo mentioned several of his posts where he had tweeted “men,” “Zombie Apocalypse, Hot Guy,” and more.

Finally, Ranboo made one last reply to the thread, writing, “I mean how many more clues can I give.”
