    Yeah I kind of forgot about that. I really don’t think he did it from a place of hate. I think he made dark jokes to stay relavant like many other YouTubers. I think he most likely regrets it.

        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.

      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?

        Okay, I get what you’re saying. I really do. But have you ever played in a Call of Duty lobby? You can’t play for 20 minutes without hearing it, at least back then. Also Sweden doesn’t have the same history with the n word as we do in the US. I assume it’s not as frowned upon to use there, though probably not appreciated either. He should know that his international audience may not take kindly to it but that’s a seperate issue. Just to clarify, I don’t believe he or any white person should be using the n word.

          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.

          you’re correct, the n-word was just one of many common and non-loaded casual swears

            Again, not what I said. Do you actually want to talk? Or do you want to keep throwing insults my way? I’m not a hateful person and I don’t appreciate your attacks.

          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

                No meaning at all. Those who use it don’t think about it. They do not put deeper meaning into it. It just sounds funny, cool, whatever. Often, the reaction of others is the reward for the person using it.

                I’m not too sure why this is difficult to understand.

                There was no inclusive language 100 years ago in all societies. This has to develop and is especially difficult because new people are born every year and many do not get the highest education.

                Moreover, you think it is insulting to you or anyone somewhere but there are many people who do not think that it is offensive. There are also many removed who use it and don’t think it is offensive. Just like there are many disabled people who don’t think using some words isn’t offensive.

                It’s always subjective. We are currently not born into a slur free, inclusive society that respects each other and is mindfulness. Most people simply do not care and don’t know it better. People are dumb.

                  The fuckin cope on this guy, lol.

                  Show us all how you would use the n-word without it being a racial slur.
