I feel like Max definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt. Dude has been harmless during all his time as a streamer and content creator.
But as Bish said... He also deserves 10 million knife hands.

Holy shit, this thread is a graveyard.
While I don't think he meant any ill intent (maybe just a slip of the tongue?), he should still be let known of what he said. And I don't mean saying "wow you're a racist pos" or anything like that, but more like "hey chill out with that," and to just be more aware of what he's saying. Or as Bish puts it: a healthy dose of side-eyeing.
Gaming side tends to be infinitely worse than Off-Topic when it comes to social issues like this.

You could tell he realize it the moment he said it. Trying to make it sound like it was something else. I like Max buuut yeah that's not a good look whatsoever.
This thread was really eye opening. I guess the good news is Bish got his yearly Gaf cleaning done before Christmas. heh

He's basically been apologizing for it on his twitter for a couple hours. Said it was accidentally a mash up of Ginger and Ninja and it was his first time saying it and that it mortified him

Atleast he came clean, but i would like to see a real apology. And what does he mean by "ninja squad" because if he's using ninja like i think he is he fucked up again.
The 'Chinda Chanka(?) Ninja Dagger'? I assume a weapon in the game that he unlocked.
It just seems like Ninja and Dagger got mixed up. Or it could have been the word before Ninja that got mixed up. I don't know if it's Chanka, or Chander or something like that.

Posting to make sure I'm not banned.
This is that (former?) Namco rep, right. Used to post on TZ and Soul Call forums?
First post in the thread actually lol.

The amount of people who got exposed in this thread
Earlier he also tweeted what more or less equates to an apology, stating he was seeking forgiveness from some squad of his. He also responded to someone saying it wasn't a big deal by saying he's still disappointed in himself.
Overall it seems like a pretty fair response to something that fairly deserved a response in the first place.

Is there a way to determine if a ban was a temp or a perm?
Just for those people who are saying he needs to address it, here are a few of his tweets.
"Last night I combined the word Ginger and Ninja in a furious rhyming of words to horrible resorts. Literally shocked me after I said it."
"Had to review the footage of the stream this morning and yep,totally said it. Need forgiveness from the NinjaSquad @INFINITE_SGE @unrooolie"
"After watching the video, I'm still disappointing. Was a slip but was still the first time I've ever said the word."
"Coming clean. Today I promise to never again do rapid name rhyming ever again. My NinjaSquad membership, revoked..."
"@lKzeroll @GeoffTheHero It was, but just the shock/feeling of being accused of being a racist hurts. Feelsbadman."

yeah
like, this sounds like he just said a bunch of words and made the phonetic sound of the n word, not even that he accidentally slipped and used the word itself
unlike when ryan davis slipped and called someone the f word. he immediately was shocked and apologized, so i think it was fine. but that one was clearly him using the WORD, because lets be honest. a lot of us used that word when we were younger and it was unfortunately more acceptable, so i can see how it may have slipped out on reflex for him
Wow... Some of these replies are just incredible... Don't know how you can live in such a bubble in the 21st century to the point that you don't know how terrible and real of an issue racism is... That's just blind or intentional ignorance, either way it's 100% wrong to think that it's just a word.
I always dismissed the theory that OT is more progressive than the gaming side, but now I see how wrong I was, the first page is embarrassing.
I hope the idiots that were banned never come back, they should go post in r/KotakuInAction or r/TheDonald or something, they'll fit in better there.

Wow. I can't believe those people at the beginning of the thread. Him saying it definitely wasn't cool imo.

I just gotta say that first page is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen not only on GAF, but on the entire Internet. Absolutely disgraceful.

I hope Max isn't use Ninja as a substitute, because that's just as bad.

Mash Up as in he was saying Ginger and Ninja at the same time and boom that happened.

Really wish he would have apologized and not just moved on. It probably made everyone in the stream uncomfortable. I don't think he was coming from a bad place, I really think it was a slip up while trying to say some sort of stupid thing (tongue twister? Don't really know). He really shouldn't have thrown it under the rug, though.
Edit: Oh, so he is apologizing. Still should have done it on stream after it happened.

Maximillian: "I'm still disappointing"
That was my first thought aswell, he corrected immediately and life goes on. It's good that he acknowledged he screwed up, no excuses.

Hey guys. I'd like to post this clip for clarity, as my conscience won't let me do otherwise.
https://twitter.com/maximilian_/status/776878558597697536
After tongue twisting words multiple times throughout the stream, I said something I literally didn't believe I said until after I reviewed the footage in the morning. I was woken this morning to several people telling me that Neogaf and Reddit are blasting what I said and it's blowing up.
It was absolutely not my intention to use this word. It's disgusting, filthy and I've never intentionally used it ever in my life. Deeply sorry to anyone who thinks ill of me after this, as I've wanted nothing but to create an environment on Youtube and Twitch of kind-hearted people who I try to give back too just as much as they've given to me. The accusations coming my direction is something I've never had to deal with before, and it honestly one of the worst feelings I can remember. Especially when everything about my life, family and friends is the exact opposite of what the word represents.
I'll let the mods decide what to do with this thread. I can't ignore what I accidentally said, but I'd prefer not to be reminded of it every-time I visit the forum I've been a part of for almost a decade.

Wow, I expected better from GAF members. First page comments seem to straight out of YouTube comments and Twitch chat. I guess social topics such as this, no matter the forum, will always bring out the worst out of people.
I'm a fan of Max, and haven't had a change to watch the video since I'm at work. However, after watching him for years and seeing who he hangs out with on stream, I higher doubt he's racist or even secretly racist. Every other stream would be pure torture for him if true.
I can understand people being disappointed though, even Max is disappointed in himself.

Everybody learned a lesson in racial interactions today, didnt we lads?
For clarification's sake, the "squad" are his two personal friends he has on his stream from time to time; they're black. Hence why he was bringing them up.

You have nothing to apologize for because there wasn't even a hint of mal intent in that clip I just watched. Slip of the tongue, completely innocent.

He's an FGC streamer. Regrettably it's not surprising that kind of crowd ends up in the mix.
Man, as a black fan of Max seeing this was just idk weird. Just something I hoped I'd never have to see because I don't know about anyone else but whenever they brought up "ninja" in place of the word or whenever they did the "yo yo homie yo" stuff as jokes, I hoped something like this would never happen. You could tell he tried to sweep it under the rug after it happened too. Like, nah bruh, not with it.
I just hate when people I'm fans of end up saying something like this, it's just uncomfortable. I don't care if people think it was an accident, it was uncomfortable for me personally regardless of what anyone thinks and regardless of if it was an accident or not.

I always think threads like these are an excuse to use the word without being called out for it.
That said, it's interesting reading this thread!
