Joel “deadmau5” Zimmerman got suspended from streaming platform Twitch after using a homophobic slur.
While playing Player Unknown: Battlegrounds, he said:
"Is that some fucking cock-sucking stream sniper," and then ended with the f** slur, to which resulted in a suspension from Twitch.
Like a true gamer, he went on Reddit to whine:
"I’m not going to stand for Twitch’s double standard when it comes to censoring and suspending me for harmless shit." You can read his full whine
here.
summary: the internet is mean, don't censor me, sorry i'm not sorry.
He later went on his own SubReddit
again to say,
"I needed a little cool down there for a few and seriously reflect on all this. I know what I said was wrong, and my hastily composed non-apology was an insult to injury. I realize that trying to somewhat dismiss it as "gamer culture" was even worse. I don't know why I did that. But I do know it was stupid and insensitive and I feel even more ashamed. This was my worst moment."note: don't read the comments here tbh.
He has deleted his Twitch channel. Oh no!
