Voice actor Justin Briner, known for Deku in My Hero Academia, posted and later deleted a video dubbing streamer Sykkuno's apology for cheating allegations in a whiny voice. The clip, which drew backlash, was archived by Dexerto. Briner clarified he does not condone the behavior.
On April 17, 2026, Justin Briner shared a Twitter post featuring his impression of Sykkuno's apologetic statement from April 16. Sykkuno, a gaming streamer recognized for his wholesome image, had addressed infidelity accusations alongside his girlfriend. Briner captioned the video, 'did my best impression of the streamer,' dubbing it in a voice reminiscent of his My Hero Academia character Deku, though he later specified it was a 'twerpish character based on the strange streamer.' Dexerto preserved the clip, tweeting: 'Streamer Sykkuno's response to cheating allegations has been dubbed over by 'Deku' actor Justin Briner.' Briner added in a reply, 'ofc I don’t condone this, and we beat his ass in the sajam slam,' referencing a streamer fighting game event. He referenced beating Sykkuno there previously. Facing backlash over the sensitive topic, Briner removed the original post. In follow-up tweets, he joked about the fallout, blaming the cancellation of the Northernlion Super Cruise for his 'extremes' on April 17. By April 20, he quipped about being jailed in the 'Weirdo Wing' for YouTubers' high crimes against the internet and facing execution at the next MrBeast Games halftime show.
