"he was instantly banned when it happened with out anyone calling for it." Heh, you think Twitch is omniscient? Safe bet it was called for.

UK is a tiny country and the US isn't exactly the same everywhere. Different cities have unique problems, refer to Chicago.

Again, people use the n-word in a neutral manner. I understand that upsets you, but people do it anyway. I don't feel its harmful, many who say it evidently don't, whatever. Regardless, I'm sure I will continue to hear it plenty in public. But I'm sure you will blame me for encouraging this behavior I have nothing to do with.

"I believe in freedom of speech as long as people are punished for saying anything deemed offensive or intolerant. Free speech works best when its heavily regulated and those who share thoughts that aren't approved by government are in jail."

You clearly don't use Twitch enough as the are numerous cases where the streamer is banned straight away.

As I've said its use is ignorant as the word has only one purpose and that is a slight you don't feel it's harmful as the word isn't directed at demeaning you as a person but I'm willing to guess that given your distaste for the left things from that camp likely do get to you as you seem riled by them. You have nothing to do with it yet here you are inserting your support for its use.

Here's news for you mate free speech has always been regulated especially in the so called land of the free go ahead and say you want to kill Trump you can be tried for treason a concept many like yourselves who hide behind free speech defence struggle to grasp is that it doesn't mean free of consequence.

Based on the video I saw, it seems impossible for Twitch to have known unless it was brought to their attention. It popped up for less than a second and it was tiny text. If you disagree though, that's fine.

You say the n-word is only used for one purpose, but its used in a neutral manner as well. This fact negates your point, you just feel different. I'm not gonna argue about how you feel.

I'm Hispanic and I've been called racial epithets. A coworker jokingly called me a dirty Mexican the other day and I laughed. I'm not supporting anything, I'm just not gonna pretend these words have any power on their own. If you think the n-word actually hurts people its because you feel the word on its own is dangerous, I disagree. I think racist actions matter, not so much words. Especially if they're used in jest which I feel they can be.

You always go to extreme examples. I'm certainly opposed to death threats or calls for violence, that's pretty much where the US draws the line on free speech. However, I feel putting someone in jail for teaching a dog to do a Nazi salute is a terrifying thing a tyrannical government might do.
