Update
"It was the other persons fault for making a big deal about it" is some galaxy brain level of defense
Everything about that reddit post just makes it even worse.

"Why can't I be a toxic person? Bwah bwah"Rod Breslau chimed in by stating that calling someone a "fucking cock-sucking stream sniper f*g" should not be ban-worthy given the "context and intent", and that Twitch has become a "battleground" for what can or cannot be said.

What game was he playing. In it near impossible to predict if you're in the same persons game on a br or even random matchmaking?
Calling out the double standards for who gets what punishments is one thing when they just went through the drama of an off camera domestic violence issue and took forever to get that taken care of. Going full on "I thought this was just video games and hanging out" and putting this on someone out for attention is just ridiculous. Enjoy the ban.
IF you live local or change your IP and queue as soon as they do, it's pretty easy to do.
But at the same time doesn't really warrant the comments either way.

There's a high chance that anyone who slips these words out when angry uses them in their go to insult kit, or it wouldn't just slip out.
I know words like this, the n-word, etc... are hateful, hurtful, and do incredible harm. So I never use them, even when seething with rage. Not once in my entire life have these types of words slipped out of my mouth.
These people wouldn't think the words were wrong if others weren't telling them they are.
Of course, we all have our pasts. It's possible that a person has grown past behaviors like these, and slips when angry could happen. If that truly were the case then they would be far more apologetic, and it would be apparent they understand the use of the word is so hurtful.
The fact is, many people don't understand/believe these words are as bad as people tell them, and the only reason they avoid them is so they don't get called out.

Guy is an excellent musician but such a whiny idiot online. It feels like all he does is complain, insult games and opponents, criticize other producers for doing things differently from him, etc.. This isn't surprising in the least, to be honest. He's like the textbook definition of separating the art from the artist, because his music is impressive, but the person really ain't.
Unrelated to gaming but my "favourite" was the fact that he criticized all those producers who jumped on the dubstep bandwagon as soon as that genre became popular. It was particularly funny, given he literally fucking did the same on an album around those times.

Would just "coc*s**ker" without the other part also be seen als homophobic slur on twitch?
Never watched his streams, though.

He defended PDP when he said/did racist shit all the time and blamed the "mainstream media" for PDPs bad reputation.
"Battleground platform" or not, Twitch isn't a utility. No one has a right to it, and if they want to eliminate certain language or behavior from their platform, they are well within their own right to do so.
Now they just need to be consistent about it.

I don't know if it's better or worse that he came out and said he didn't care vs giving a half assed apology, but it's certainly more satisfying to see him show his ass.
What an awful take.

I'm all for people being exposed but can someone explain to me what a z list career is? Because if I'm reading the implication correctly and it's that he didn't matter, dude was fairly fucking big for a decently long time there's no denying that.
I'd say someone largely irrelevant who came out a piece of shit is that Pogo guy who made Disney remixes.
You'd be surprised at how good some are at stream sniping in BR games. But it's fairly simple you essentially change to their region, wait for them to que up and then figure out from stuff like the kill feed or the fly over path if you're in their game, if not repeat.
I'm genuinely surprised Twitch did something as they've had a tendency to let this kind of thing slide when it comes to bigger name streamers.
Pleasantly surprised, mind, because I'd say it was the right thing to do. Now they just need to be more consistent with shit like this.

This is some daft shite from Breslau too, albeit not surprising given what I've seen from him in the past.Rod Breslau chimed in by stating that calling someone a "fucking cock-sucking stream sniper f*g" should not be ban-worthy given the "context and intent", and that Twitch has become a "battleground" for what can or cannot be said.
Why does he refer to the guy as an asshat in his response?
I mean he's a cocksucking f***** apparently.

deadmau5: i dont have to fucking sit here and cry and defend my fuckingself with the obligatory "IM NOT THAT PERSON, I AM SORRY" reflex.
Also deadmau5: I know who I am

Deadmau5 makes a tit out of himself again? Shocker.
Slasher being a tone deaf moron again? Shocker.

Twitch not promoting homophobic views -> "twitch becoming the battleground platform for what can or cannot be said". Imagine complaining that your friend got fired from work, cause their boss overheard them being homophobicRod Breslau chimed in by stating that calling someone a "fucking cock-sucking stream sniper f*g" should not be ban-worthy given the "context and intent", and that Twitch has become a "battleground" for what can or cannot be said.

Wait... So how does that work? So he obviously shouldn't call that word to people while playing games on a streaming platform? But he can't be punished for it? How are you gonna enforce that rule without punishment?
