What the fuck is happening here?

In context it seems like a slip of the tongue and he definitely doesn't have a history of this behavior. I'll give him a pass.

 

[Velkyn]

As a black person, in the context he said it, I have no problem with it, and I dislike when anyone says the word even in slang ways. Now if he was belittling somebody and trying to ruin his day and that word was used to add to the insults, that would not be ok.

So you universally speak for all black people everywhere? I mean, it's good that you are not personally offended, but can you see hoe someone might be?

 

[Skilletor]

No, I mean go into the future and let go of the word. How many generations have there been since nigger had REAL value to it?

Nowadays it's just a tool used by black people to get offended. We must get offended with something!

We can't just go about our lives without holding on to a flimsy thread of a word that doesn't really mean anything to today's modern black man.

Come the fuck on. And yes, I'm black.

::Looks at Trump and his supporters::

Pathetic.

This thread is enlightening.

 

[mp1990]

Jesus people need to get over this already. It's just a word, and after almost 200 years, it doesn't hold the same connotation.

Free speech should be higher up in the priorities list- than black people getting offended- in this matter.

Please let's go into the future.

ok what the hell

since when gaming side is this stupid

 

[catofthecanals]

I don't care about this person. I don't know anyone else that cares about this person.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

What game is that? It looks fun

Planet "Video Games"

Planet internet.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Wtf people are actually defending this.

 

[Brqan]

Cant breathe

 

[bishoptl]

Who the fuck cares.

Everyone needs to stop getting offended at everything.

...wait for it...

 

[RockTurtle]

freudian slip or genuine slip up?

whatever, when will thick azns start getting posted since r/kappa is here?

 

[Supermanisdead]

the funniest thing about it is the pre-emptive outrage over "pc outrage" again

I've never seen a thread bring out the trash this fast. I'm now starting to feel maybe the progress we've been making as a society is all in my head.

What? WHAT?

 

[Shredderi]

Wait what did he even say? "a nigger dagger"? Did I get that right?

 

[Glass Rebel]

You casually responded that this community is apparently the only place where it's tolerated. Not much more to read in your post.

Don't be a douche.

not really but try harder next time

 

[SwaggerMcDagger]

Intent doesn't matter.

It's the only thing that matters. Otherwise, the statement is baseless (ie: what max said).

 

[ldcommando]

What game is that? It looks fun

For honor, I think

Looks cool indeed

 

[Velkyn]

It absolutely does

Individually, it might, it's really up for debate.

The larger the group, the more it doesn't matter.

 

[Yado]

It's all context dependent really. Not seen the video and don't know the guy but if it was an accident and not said aggressively I see no issue. The word is used by people in songs and no one cares, it's all about context.

What songs are those?

 

[lucebuce12]

It's "For Honor". There's currently an Alpha going on that you need an invite key for.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Yeah, it really doesn't matter if he slipped up or not at this point; this thread has outed some pretty nasty people on GAF.

Funny because I see sensible people who dont go into a tizzy because someone used a slur. Yeah, its a pretty gross word but to fall on the ground over it is really pathetic. Its like you want to be able to say GOTCHA.

If I had the paper thin skin some of you have I would have a heart attack everytime Im on the subway when school gets out.

 

[0racle]

I wonder if world star hip hop forums have a thread for every rap song that it's said.

What the actual fuck am I reading? It's still used as a racial slur against black people, are you seriously insinuating that the only reason the word has value is not due to the extensive history behind the word but it's just because black people feel hte need to get offended? The fuck!!

 

[Granjinha]

Intent doesn't matter.

it does

it doesn't make okay to say it and he should just apologize, but intent definitely matters

 

[wild wild rice]

A slip of the tongue reading a tongue twister nickname! Hang him!

This isn't even what the thread is about anymore. Most people are giving the benefit of the doubt that it could possibly have been a non-malicious slip of the tongue.

The outrage is about posters defending the use of the word as something people need to get over.

I'll revisit the bloobath on the first page in a few hours

Expecting lots of greyed out names

 

[Kinsei]

WTF is up with some of the responses in this thread? It's like I stepped through a portal to KiA or something.

Watching the video it's clear that he was trying to do some kind of odd attempt at a tongue twister and he fumbled it spectacularly. It comes across as completely non-malicious and an honest mistake though.

It hardly feels worthy to point out but then again the replies here are even quicker to jump the gun spectacularly with some really uncomfortable implications.

That's what it seemed like to me.

 

[kulapik]

I'm not defending the fact that the n-word is used in general, I'm just saying that I don't think this deserves a thread, it was a slip of the tongue, he didn't want to say that and instantly tried to fix it because he knew saying that was wrong.

 

[Supermanisdead]

he fucked up. he should just be like sorry dudes, slip of the tongue. but with crazy stans like this thread, who needs to apologize.

 

[Forerunner]

This thread is going to be a graveyard. Some real disgusting posts in here.

 

[RecRoulette]

Anyone offended by this didn't even watch the clip. Dude is reading someone's name who probably donated or something and simply said the name w not because it was something of a tongue twister. He then just simply says it correctly. No trying to cover anything up.

He should still apologize for slipping up, but Jesus some of the responses here.

 

[Smooth Operator]

not really but try harder next time

Chindogg is right tho', do you really believe that everyone can use the N ending with a R word in the FGC ?

 

[Pachimari]

Yeah fuck you dude.

I don't think you get what I'm saying. I said using that n-word is bad.

I also said, that I do not think he had any bad intention by saying the word, which was a slip of the tongue. I'm sure he already feels bad about it. But what are we to do about it in this thread?

 

[AuthenticM]

...wait for it...

I am impatiently waiting for you to bring down the law.

Prediction for this thread:

Outrage

Outrage at the apathy

[ItsDorf]

Who the fuck cares.

This I was playing COD last night and head that at least 30 times by blacks, whites and hispancis along with words I find much more offensive. They are words they mean nothing and if you get offended by words than your weak minded. Should he have said it? No but stop trying to be offended but stupid stuff!

Still haven't watched the vid, I'm just wtf'ing at the comments here.

like. HOLY SHIT.

My grandmother protested and was arrested for during sit-ins and protests for civil rights, along with many more black people I admire and know personally.

This shit wasn't a long time ago.

Fuck everybody that thinks like this. Seriously. Fuck. You.

 

[Kade]

And yes, I'm black.

lmao

Honestly, you need to rethink and examine why that word isn't a word black people use to get offended by.

 

[Clockwork]

Was it in poor taste? Sure. Was it an innocent slip? I think so.

I'm not sure it's threadworthy or deserving of outrage. At best I figure most would just shake their damn head and move on.

 

[Rynocirator]

freudian slip or genuine slip up?

whatever, when will thick azns start getting posted since r/kappa is here?

Thursday has already passed

 

[Velkyn]

It's the only thing that matters. Otherwise, the statement is baseless (ie: what max said).

It absolutely does not matter in this context. If I had a brain fart and somehow said it at work, do you think my employer would just shrug and say "Oh well, don't let it happen again mister!"

But again, the most shocking thing about this thread is not the streamer.

 

[MechaX]

You know, like Ryan Davis, Max very well could be like "shit I fucked up" and it could be acceptable to most under the circumstances.

But holy fuck some of these responses are worse than the actual controversy.

And now bish is here

 

[jfoul]

Just seemed like he slipped up while trying to rhyme. Reminded me of when I was a kid, and we would try to rhyme names. (Ex Mitch, Mitch, Mo Snitch, Banana, Nana) Sucks it happened, but I'm expecting Max to come out and apologize.

 

[Timedog]

Sounds like he mmisspokewhile saying a tongue twistery phrase.

Jesus people need to get over this already. It's just a word, and after almost 200 years, it doesn't hold the same connotation.

Free speech should be higher up in the priorities list- than black people getting offended- in this matter.
