Popular YouTuber and Twitch star Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier has mocked a nasty direct sent to him by a fan about his relationship with fellow streamer BrookeAB.
Symfuhny and BrookeAB were the subject of much speculation in the Fortnite community, as they became known for playing with Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney and his girlfriend Corinna Kopf. They confirmed their relationship back in summer 2019, and can be found regularly playing and streaming together.
However, it seems that some anonymous social media users are jealous of the relationship. One even sent an unpleasant and scathing message to Lanier, accusing him of only being with the 100 Thieves star for “content” purposes.
The message is overtly offensive and rude towards Lanier, stating that the author – who, unsurprisingly, runs an anonymous Twitter account – hopes Brooke is cheating on Lanier.
Symfuhny shared the message to Twitter on January 11, with the caption: “Yo like she ain’t gonna date you homie”.
It also states that they don’t know how Brooke is not “tired” of dating Lanier, claiming that she looks happier with other people. It finishes by describing Brooke as “perfect” while accusing Lanier of being a “mistake of life”.

The wierd message was quickly condemned by a number of Lanier’s friends, including Fortnite and Mixer streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. “I told you to stop reading DMs,” Ninja said. “Nobody listens to me.”
I told you to stop reading DM's man. Nobody listens to me 🙁

On a similar note, 100 Thieves’ Valkyrae said: “They are just going to keep doing this because both you and Brooke reply and all they want is to get noticed by you guys lol just ignore from now on! I’ve seen how you both are in person and you guys definitely are the cutest couple and I love seeing you both happy together!”

Ninja and Valkyrae have both commented in the past about troll messages they have received from strangers. It goes some way to explain why Blevins no longer reads his direct messages at all.
It won’t surprise anyone that the DM came from an anonymous account, meaning they are able to get away with such an unacceptable message without repercussions.
Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like Lanier took the DM to heart, and dismissed it as the nonsense it is.
