If someone accidentally showed indecent images of kids on stream would you be here brushing it off as it was an accident they only do it in their own time? No because you know how wrong what they're doing is as a precedent has been set in that it's unacceptable no matter what same thing here which is why brushing it of as in jest is just as bad because you're encouraging such use of a term among others given it's history.

We also do not live in the most peaceful era this planet has been around for billions of years I'm willing to bet we're far from the most peaceful era and using that to justify use of the word makes you part of the problem. You still haven't answered why he'd be using the word as well especially as the person he was talking to is confirmed to be Carcinogen who condemned the use of it.

i think there's a much broader discussion to be had here.

we can't ban racist people from existing, stopping a racist person from using a word, any word, in a derogatory way is not magically going to make this person less racist. if the intent behind using such words was to convey a racist or demeaning thought, then it's the intent that matters, nothing else.

i think if it truly was an accident and in a private conversation, then there's no reason for the guy to be banned. i'm more scared about thought police than people having racist thoughts. i'm pretty sure i've had them sometimes in the past and hope my better judgement helped me realize later on it was irrational to have those. in the same way i'm pretty sure plenty of people had racist thoughts about me and that's ok. it's part of human nature, one that we should continuously strive to be better about. hiding it, or pretending it doesn't exist will never solve the problem, instead will make racist people even more defensive about their "us" vs "them" mentality.

That's the thing it's not being hidden it's being punished the's a difference like it or not that's the only language some people understand, a number of people only began to fear being outed as racist when they faced retribution for their actions these people will always be defensive and have that us vs them mentality as their beliefs are built on a notion that they're superior and now have to share the same rights as others.

I also don't buy it's part of human nature, preference is not racial bias as put a bunch of young kids together they won't hate each other because they look different if anything they're more fascinated by it (an example is that story on social media where a young white child wanted his hair cut short to look more like his black friend) racism is something that is taught.

Wait... So he gets banned because of his skin colour then? I think it's time he let twitch know he identifies as African American and this should all be fine then right?

I'm not trying to debate you though. Edge lords ranting about reverse racism aren't worth the time or effort. Like I said before if you legitimately don't understand the history or context that comes from living in a society that's barely 50 years away from actual government backed racism and discrimination then you're too stupid to understand even if someone took the time to explain it to you. Not everyone is worth debating, I don't argue with little kids, drunk people or brick walls for the same reason

I blame black people for making that hateful word sound so cool.

This is so ridiculous. When we say my nigga or in Spanish mi negro, it means we really appreciate that person. Context really do matter

Yes, it was.

Avoid all mainstream sjw platforms at all costs. Seek for alternatives. It may be a blessing for him. I all see is black dudes speaking nigga all the time with each other. Rap songs for example, its the most frequent word in rap lyrics.

Good job Twitch, keep racists away.
