Since then, the online spat has sparked a debate across social media, highlighting both the streamer's comments and France's reaction.

Gabriel Attal responds to Clavicular’s attack on France
Clavicular has been livestreaming all around France for the past few days, giving viewers a glimpse into his experience as he makes his way through various locations. But at one point on the air he dramatically changed his tone, venting his frustrations with the country and launching a series of stinging criticisms.
He said:
"France doesn't really have WiFi because the quality of living is so . It's just a dog country. It really is... The infrastructure is bad, the roads are ****, it smells bad, there's trash everywhere. Just really, a terrible ****ing place to be, terrible people to be around... I came on a positive vibe, I tried to enjoy the place, but it was just so bad..."
The clip went viral on X very fast and got strong reactions from supporters and critics. Some viewers defended his right to share personal experiences, but many argued his comments unfairly generalized an entire country.
