I've just been made aware of this.
This is absolutely an insensitive joke. Earlier in the stream, we heard Ashley read out a username that contained the word “Nega” (short for negative) and all of us, including chat, freaked out because we misheard what was said. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, we poked fun at the absurdity of it. However, the "joke" relies on the fact that it's "teetering on racist" - which ultimately is no different than making a legitimate racist joke.
I apologize for any harm this has caused, and for the fact that we ever thought it humorous to joke about in the first place. Racism is NEVER okay and we should always strive to be kind and lift each other up.
@jeremiah_d89656@Z3ro_UCK1999 There is a clear and important difference between laughing at a lame edgy joke and hating other people’s violently. If you ignore this difference, you risk grouping very idealistically different groups under the same label
@FreedonLover83@blntforc3trauma “Solid evidence” in question is just nonsense. It’s fine to have headcannons but don’t pretend that the game is actually doing what you are pretending it is.
