Racism in Streams

Mostly geared towards black people. I find it disgusting. Most of the top players it seems inject racism against black people into their streams for laughter, shits n giggles. Now, I'm guilty of this too but it is so blatant on streams and expected in streams that it is disgusting.

From "Nuggi"'s constant play on words with the word [Removed by Support] or to Kripp on stream saying [Removed by Support] (although he could have been saying "neighbors". Or, what about the healthy laugh generated from the item name "Black Scum" found in the map Ghetto?

Sure, it is funny at times but it is so damn constant that its a bit annoying and juvenile. I'm quite surprised this shit is tolerated.

I lol'd

It seems like you can't even decide for yourself to NOT be casually racist which hinders the message of your post. My head hurts now.

Casual racism on the interwebs is okay.

Anyone who follow their streams and comment, should tell them..

Or tell them yourself if you feel that someone could be offended.

I listen to streams periodically & I've heard zero racism. The map thing was funny, and if there was a WhiteTrash rare I'd lmao too. But that's just me, I'm un-pc like that. You are obviously offended, and that's okay too. We are all different, prism of right/wrong, moral compass or whatever is going to be different too. Embrace our diversity!

Now, the thing I have heard on streams, which I think is much more damaging, is the mention of the use of hacks & rmt sites. But race? *shrugs*

Its just mind boggling that streamers can imagine that there are minorities watching and how that affects them.

And a streamer like Nuggi who religiously makes a play on the word nigger.

yeh i remember when nugis stream went down and he thought it was cos of his poe name cant remember what the toons name was though... nuggerstrike?

turned out to be an error on twitches part in the end :D

the jokes are often childish, revealing more about their own insecurities than actually generating laughter. don't contribute to the banter and turn off the streams / unfollow people who offend you, it's really as simple as that.

remember there's a lot of kids playing the game and we were all immature once just like them - when they grow up hopefully they'll realize life isn't a game and other people have feelings too.

How is this POE related? Belongs into off topic.
