    Lofe was kicked out of the store while he was shopping. The incident was captured in his September 4, 2025, YouTube video titled "I Got Kicked Out For Misgendering." The content creator went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival with his friend and was checking out the stalls when they found hats at one store.

    Lofe's real name is Benjamin Spande. The store's owner stated that they did not want to be filmed, while the YouTuber lied and said that he was not filming. While paying for the hats, Benjamin addressed the transgender store owner with male pronouns.

    The owner corrected him and stated that they go by she/her pronouns. The YouTuber's friend then apologized and addressed them as "sir," which seemed to upset them. The store owner told both of them to leave the store.

    "Get the f**k out. You don't get to misgender me. I just told you that... I just told you, and you misgendered me. You just said, 'I'm sorry sir,'" the shop owner said.

    Benjamin kept apologizing and said that his friend slipped and was "on the spectrum." Hearing this, the store owner replied that they were also on the autism spectrum, and it can not be an excuse. Then, as the two were paying, they asked for a discount, and the shop owner refused. Lofe apologized again, and this time he called the owner sir.

    After hearing the word again, the store's owner refused to sell the hats and told the streamers to leave. Another staff member at the store grabbed Lofe and pushed him out. In the YouTube video, Benjamin insisted that he had said "sir" out of reflex, and it was supposedly an honest mistake.
