mOE_TV: "I am going to stop using "f**got" because it might hurt my income" (UP1: 30d ban on Twitch)

He is a piece of shit.
He regularly defends Nazis who just happen to be his friends.
He has done tons of terrible shit but you can find it on the internet easily.
Dude should be permabanned, but Twitch doesn't actually give a shit about controlling the hate and vitriol on their site so no surprise he wasn't.
I'm getting sick of these companies pretending to care about these kinds things whilst lining their pockets through scum like this.

Dude thought he was being slick..."I only said the word so I could explain that I won't say the word. ;)"
It's funny because it's unexpected, that what makes things funny.
Is this one of those Schrodinger's Joke things where everything is obviously a joke if it gets you in trouble?
3 days away from Twitch is a massive disaster for the financials of Twitch streamers. 30 days is basically a cataclysm.
I'm sure he'll be fine after scamming thousands of people on gambling websites.
Are you serious with this shit?
No, I won't lighten up.
If you think there is humor in saying "homophobic slurs got me through a lot as a kid" when the person actually says them to insult people, you are wrong.
You ask "how can you think he's serious" yet he actually used the damn word and specifically states that he thinks it should be okay to say.
And you think that's a joke? Nope.
Things are funny if they subvert your expectations. Not just because "it's so random". Don't be rude
Kind of has to be funny to be classified as a joke, lol. "You guys aren't laughing, you must be the dumb ones!"
An asshole behaving like an asshole isn't subverting expectations tho.
Although I like your "don't be rude" joke, because it's ironic.
To him it's just synonym for "idiot", not that big of a deal to call someone an idiot.
Yeah if it offends another group of people for different reasons then you should be respectful and not say the word but you're being way too hostile here
FUCK this dude man
Depressing thing is he has a pic of his daughter as his pinned tweet, is she learning this shit too
He's wilfully ignorant though. People have made it clear to him why the word he's using is a slur, it's his decision not to listen. He doesn't live under a rock. He has access to Google.
He's not a twelve year old on the school playground.
How exactly should they react to homophobia?
What level of anger do you find acceptable? At what point does being angry about homophobic comments become too much, to you?
Probably because he doesn't think of it as a homosexual slur and it's off-putting for strangers to tell you what you meant when it's not when you meant, pretty natural response to get defensive.
I think a lot of people stopped using it because it can get you in trouble, those same people aren't suddenly caring about people's feelings.
People think using these words are funny in 2018. smh
A defense force for everything.
A defense force for everything.
Do you apply that logic to all slurs? Seems weird to get defensive when it's an individual being obstinate because they want to deny or change the meaning of a word.
User Banned (1 Week): Defending use of homophobic slurs.
He isnt being homophobic though, you guys are treating him like he is being homophobic when in reality he is just perpetuating a homophobic slur. The latter is nowhere near is bad as the former, not to say that either is okay
So saying the n-word because I think it means something it doesn't is just ignorant, nothing to get angry about according to you?
Get real.
Lucky he'll have plenty of time to research why it's such a problematic word now that he's banned from streaming.

That Update is great.
In the end the thing that hurt his income the most was that insincere tweet about how shitty a person he is(but hes stopping for the money) which caused people to notice how big of a piece of shit he actually was, which then caused Twitch to ban him thus hurting his income even more.

See, ultimately, punitive action like that ban (and hopefully more/longer bans) is far more satisfying and meaningful to me than whatever hollow apology he could muster up. He is literally forced to deal with the consequences and this will shape his behavior going forward. This is definitely a win in my book.
Why are you caping so hard for homophobia
You don't deserve a Snorlax avatar
In a world where morality is solely dictated by how it affects one's income potential, it seems to be the only thing that works.
Calling someone else rude. Jesus Christ, get some perspective.
Lmao
Seriously it's 2018. Even if he means it in a different way, how can he not be aware of the fact that it's a really bad idea to use the word?
He is though. Saying a word that you know is offensive to homosexuals and continue to use it despite that, it doesn't matter how you used the word as a kid.
It's much better for the person to realize they're wrong than to have them and their fans think there's some sort of tone policing going on at Twitch. The amount of whining I see about Twitch policing their streamers is high as it is, and they do a horrible job.
Yes, he will stop saying it, but because it affects his bottom line, not because it's the right thing to do.
The lengths at which people will go to defend something they know is wrong is hard for me to comprehend. My goodness.
The idea that a strongly insulting slur, historically and currently still associated with gay people being mocked, assaulted and murdered due to their sexuality, can simply mean "idiot" with no further connotations, is itself pretty offensive.
You don't get to magically decide on your own meanings of words, sorry. Words have meanings and connotations. If one uses "faggot" as a synonym for "idiot", they are, by definition, treating gay people as the reference point for stupidity, and doing so in the most insulting way possible.
...And some people are content with that, sure. But they shouldn't expect others to be.
Fake Edit: He got banned while I was writing this, never mind lol...
It's almost always people who secretly want to say those words with no consequences too.
