(Ugh spam filter playing up)
Some of the posts on this thread are beyond awful. It's hard to imagine what would make someone defend people calling a black person 'n*gger' beyond an almost sociopathic lack of empathy, or simply being a racist too. If you think using the language captured in that chat is OK, then you are part of the problem. It really is actually as basic as 'racism isn't OK'. I grew up in South Africa, which still struggles with the legacy of apartheid, moved to Australia, which treats its indigenous people like shit pretty much, and the centre of this pathetic saga is in the US, where, like, slavery, the KKK and lynchings were things that happened, and still has huge racial issues today (incarceration rates, disparities in poverty/income, etc). Racism is a real thing and has real consequences - it's really sad that the discussion on this has to come down to such a basic level. If you're defending people spamming 'n*gger' and monkey pictures etc, you are placing your lot squarely in the racist corner, which personally I find despicable. The constant refrain of 'get over it' is just so juvenile and self-absorbed. The people doing or sympathising with the abuse don't get to choose how the person receiving it has to feel about it, and if you think calling a black person n*gger is the same as using a generic term like dumb or bad, then IMO you are either being deliberately disingenuous, unfathomably ignorant and self-involved, trolling, or just simply racist.
I am Ukrainian and my people were slaughtered on a scale that makes the holocaust look like summer camp. But since I am "white" I can't complain. Now who are the racists? And honestly no one cares about over 10 million of my people being slaughtered. In fact most people don't even know about holodomor. I had to type it 3 times because auto correct didn't know what it was. My grandparents would of loved to have at least been slaves and been able to stay alive. And my people are still oppressed every day. But if I say anything people laugh because I'm white. I'm so privileged. Wow I'm so lucky. I won the lottery. Blacks in America have it so good it makes my people sick to see them complain. And I know plenty of Africans who say the same thing. Africans who go to America and get bullied by black Americans. Take your white guilt and choke on it.
How is cyber bullying real just close your eyes, walk away from the screen.

none of it's right.
Oh my god, please, this is twitch-chat we are talking about. There were ALWAYS racial slurs, but against every race. Or Body size, or gender or whatever. Please, this is twitch-chat we are talking about, nearly everyone spam there. An asian player who eat a bit to much and MingLee is already there.
There are racial slurs, but simply because it's silly. 95% of the people in twitch-chat spamming is NOT racist. They simply spam this BS because it's twitch-chat.
I rather see it completely different: because racism is so stupid, it get spammed. An article about twitch-chat... somebody want to make money for page views; but in the end it's a storm in a water bottle.
Clearly we're unable to have a civil conversation so this thread has been locked. Some warnings have gone out, those who were causing trouble and didn't get a warning consider yourself lucky.
