A streamer has claimed in an interview that he is okay with age-gap relationships, as long as there is 'consent'.

Streamer Sneako had been speaking in an interview online where the question of age gap relationships came up.

The question came up in the interview where the streamer was asked via a video chat: “Do you think someone in their 20s should be able to marry a 15 or 16-year-old.”

Sneako, 25, replied that he wouldn't do it himself, and 'I don’t know many people who would do it'.

He added: “The maturity for the people and the teenagers in the West is getting much worse…"

At this point, the interviewer reiterated their question, asking him: “Do you think it’s okay for anyone in their 20s, an adult, to marry a 15 or 16-year-old."

Sneako replied: “If there was a marriage where the father consented and the daughter consented and it was both good on both families and they wanted to do it, why am I gonna get involved. Why should we get the government involved."

He continued: “If everybody is consenting, if everybody is okay with it, if the parents are okay with it, if no one’s being harmed, if it’s going to be okay, if they’re both abiding by the rules and their not hurting each other, why not?”

The interviewer disagreed, saying: “[15 or 16-year-olds] are at best sophmore in high school, they can’t consent to something [marriage] like that.”

Many people on Twitter did not agree with the streamer and attacked him over the viewpoint.

One wrote: “No, this is not right,” while another posted that Sneako is the 'sharpest tool on the shed'.

Another wrote: "They both have points at different parts of the conversation. But honestly, they both have some stupid points too."

UNILAD has contacted Sneako for comment.

Sneako is not the only streamer to court controversy over his views.

Ninja recently caused controversy when he said he would not be alone in a room with a woman except his wife.

He said: "Even my PR person, it doesn’t matter who it is. I don’t care if they work with me, whatever. There is someone else in that room at all times. If we’re alone, I leave. Instantly."

Ninja went on to say that he also doesn't DM any women either, adding: “As for anyone else, I don’t DM anyone. I DM my boys. I DM guys in the community."
