Also this.I'll be that guy and point out that the video's description has the word "retard" in it. May not be the most suitable response for this thread.
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."
Do you really want to do this after the carnage that was the first page?
He's an FGC streamer. Regrettably it's not surprising that kind of crowd ends up in the mix.
Hey guys. I'd like to post this clip for clarity, as my conscience won't let me do otherwise.

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.
That'll be the day. lolEverybody learned a lesson in racial interactions today, didnt we lads?
Woah. I can't believe that first page. Shocking coming from Neogaf.
Got a long way to go.

Nobody "accidentally" says that word.
Max doesn't even sound genuine.... and yeah... seeing him clearly read the chat while people are saying what he said... he didn't even acknowledge it. Like, whaaaattt? And I'm a fan of his but I don't like he's handling this at all. I also don't like how he has a defense force that's damage controlling for Max like crazy.

Should have known this guy was just another one of those FGC thugs

I would go as far as to stay it's a part of the competitive gaming scene as a whole, but that's just my opinionI'm not talking about Max. I'm talking about the people immediately crawling out of the woodwork to explain why saying the n-word isn't a big deal.
That's the kind of culture that's not hard to find in the FGC and a big part of why I stay the hell away from there. It's not just the FGC either for what it's worth in case you think I'm trying to pin it solely on them, but it's a real problem.

You believe Max is a racist prick? Given the evidence I really doubt that's the case.I'm honestly stunned at how many GAFers (who are now banned) don't have an issue with this. You don't just say this word on accident unless you are a racist prick. Language like this shouldn't be tolerated anywhere, especially on GAF.
I dont think ya had any I'll intent. Watch ya mouth, you apologized thats good. You'll get some side eye you will be fine acknowledging you fucked up is already a good sign.Hey guys. I'd like to post this clip for clarity, as my conscience won't let me do otherwise.

That's got nothing to do with it being exclusively an FGC problem considering those types of people already infest video games and other cultures as a whole.
We need a tribunal of Woolie, Steve and Kenny to decide the punishment
The effects of an action matter more than the intent of an action.
The first time I could see it being a slip of the tongue, but when it was said the second time at a slower speaking speed it should have triggered something in him.
