    he did a stream in an SS uniform, he has said the n-word (as an insult) during streams, his earliest content was all about screaming “rape”, and he paid people on fiverr to hold up signs saying “death to jews”. he was never wholesome.

    also there was that shooter in new Zealand.

    however, he did these things because he (perhaps accidentally) cultivated an audience that want it. it was mutual radicalization.

        accidentally saying the n-word in a moment of frustration like he says it all the time off-stream and briefly forgot he was on camera is not a dark joke. It’s just using a racial slur naturally and automatically because that’s the kind of person he is. No need to make excuses for him.

          I see that you have very strong feelings regarding the use of that word. Do you really want to put such a strong meaning into a word?

            Yeah you just think that if a white person does use the n-word it’s not such a bad thing. You’ve had several people explain this to you in this thread, and yet here you are, trying to minimize his behaviour.

            I get the feeling you already had your opinion before your first comment, and you’re feigning ignorance to give your continual defence of his actions the appearance of neutrality.

              You are being ignorant not the other commenter.

              Just because you think a word is offending anyone somewhere doesn’t mean that the person who used that exact word intended to be offensive against someone anywhere in the world.

              The word just has a different meaning to some people.

                So what are the “other” meanings of the n-word. Educate me. In fact, use it in a sentence if it’s not a problem. Use the full word in a sentence, without censoring it, right here, in the reply to this comment. See if anyone will agree with you then.

                Be brave, do it, put your money where your mouth is.

                Edit: adding a screenshot of your comment, just in case you get cold feet and delete it out of embarrassment :D

                    There’s nothing to discuss. You say you hold the opinion that the n-word should not be used by a white person. I agree, I just have higher standards than you apparently.

            no, it is just as bad because it is in English. the swedish word derived from the Spanish “negro” has different connotations and has historically been used as a descriptor rather than an insult, but we can read american history.

          still waiting for you to show me that the n-word has different meanings, as per your other comment:

          Demonstrate to us how to use the n-word in one of the ‘other’ contexts where it is not a racial slur.

        i brought it up because it is indicative. he may not have started out courting nazis, but he developed an audience that tolerated it, and in turn got more extreme himself. mutual radicalization.

          Isn’t his audience just edgy kids? The same kind I imagine when talking about 4chan.
