Just like how my right to swing my fist unhindered ends where your face begins, my right to spew racist bullshit unfiltered ends where my opinion becomes public.

Same as spamming Kappa.Kek

It was embarrassing.

 Honestly, that isn't even that bad. I've seen way worse actual harassmen in white people's streams. But I guess you conveniently ignore those cases.

I'm more appaled by how many of you people in here have apparently never read another Twitch chat in your lives, judging by how surprised you all are that it was absolute cancer.

Quote from LefticusRighteous >>

TerrenceM is black, and Twitch-chat made black people jokes. So what? People think it's "funny" to say racist things, especially on the internet. Not everyone has to agree with it, and most people don't even find it funny. But why is there such an outbreak of people thinking half of the Twitch users are racists all of a sudden? I don't see users getting banned when the chat is making fun of fat people, socially awkward people, female gamers etc and that happens daily. Just be mature and ignore those comments rather then making a fuss about it. If you find this offense, this must've been your first time in the internet.

Quote from Exacerberus >>

Getting triggered by racism in 2016? TriHard  It's twitch chat dudes, it's not racist, it's just retarded: they would hate anything for whichever reason and often times they just bait you with anything that may hurt you just for the sake of triggering you. If you're black they're gonna N word you, if you're fat expect OpieOP NA jokes, if you're female expect free sexism: whatever you get you shouldn't feel entitled to feel like a special case: you're not that unique snowflake, you're basically getting the generic twitch chat treatment, just slightly adjusted to your very target.

"real racism"

Well, those terms are often used to offend black people. It's like MingLee or Ching Chong for asians, or virgin etc for socially awkward users. Some people think it's funny for some reason. Have you ever experienced real racism? It's much worse then some offensive words on the internet.

Quote from nagashbg >>

If you think that people in twitch chat are that racist in real life, either you don't know twitch chat or you are racist yourself. Sorry to inform you bro, but Terrence is like every other person and twitch chat will make fun of him.

Biggest racists on Twitch, Trump and Eloise, I wouldn't be surprised if all those racists who spammed during DH were also Asian.

i'm just tired of twitch chat. I've been on the site since the beginning, on justintv. My friends and I would go around trolling all of the social streams. It just genuinely sucks to see a site you love so much turn into the worst kind of cesspool. Where spamming the same thing over 1 million times is actually funny to you. Where calling anything and everything the most offensive thing you can is actually funny to you. It makes me sad, and it's why I've got the chat closed most of the time.  

To anyone who is against this message. Im the original poster. I say to you:

At least we are talking about it. At least it's on the front page of gamings biggest news sites(polygon). Hundreds almost thousands have already viewed this thread. At least people reacted with sympathy when hearing the news. Dreamhack and Twitch need to listen to us fans and realize this is an issue we want addressed.

with trump becoming the republican nominee, and in the face of a recent surge of xenophobia, I'm just happy seeing so many rational kindhearted people on this thread. Your replies genuinely mean a lot to me. Thanks for taking time out of your day and speaking up for the cause  

This is something that negatively affects the general public's view of game players.
Imagine someone new to gaming and/or Twitch checking out a Twitch channel. Yikes.

I actually completely agree on the movement to (best try) remove all racial slurs and negative behavior of the like from the HS community, but could you have chosen any other username to be an hero?

Quote from SwagpanterNL >>

twitch = random trolls. deal with it.

Quote from DTBlack >>

try to now make a big deal out of it since it was about a black guy

Those players aren't exposing themselves because they opened their own stream. The Dreamhack should protect players against hate comments. If you want to say s***t to a random streamer and throw money to his face that's up to you, but don't do it to people that you don't know.

Quote from gurunache >>

Do you read the newspaper or watch the news, if ever? A black child goes missing and no one gives a shit, but god forbid a white child goes missing and you are guaranteed to see it on television. 

Real talk? Are you posting this directly from Alabama in the 50's?? Well, can you lend me your time machine sometimes?

Typical SJW, whining about Trump, MUH RACISM in twitch chat (REALLY?). And using "good intentions" he's actively pushing for censorship. Guys, if you see such persons - they are worse than twitch chat. Twitch chat is just banter - but this guy want to impose his political agenda on you. And - moreover - such persons are usually VERY RACIST, but just it directs to white part of America.
