Is the Trihard emote racist? No. But spamming it whenever a black person is on the screen and only then is 100% racially insensitive, rather that's the intent or not. To me, it's a sly way of saying "hey gais, luk! A black guy heheh". It's been happening to me for about 3 years

It doesn't bother me, personally, but it does aggravate me to see how it's been discouraging many others. All I can say to those ppl is: Look, these stream monsters aren't use to people like me in their esports. Their immature. This is them lashing out, getting cheap laughs, etc.

Got criticized for calling the Twitch chat on the emote spam. I feel like my 1 time addressing this in 3 years ratio is pretty damn generous. And funny, I never accused anyone of anything. I just acknowledged that I see it. Guilt propelled the whole topic

As far as xqc goes, yall need to stop coming at me like I was campaigning to get that dude in toruble. When I made me little brief comment on stream, it was unbeknownst to him being in the chat, because it's been happening to me for 3 YEARS

My bad for typos btw going fast here. I don't think xqc had any ill intent when he was throwing up that emote. I told him that through DM. But dude is in a position where he has a lot of folks that hang onto his every action. I'm not a fan of his follow up to the situation.

When you make a mistake like this, it's best to just take accountability and be quiet. He apparently didn't know that the TriHard spam was used in such an insensitive manner, but kept trying to defend it as "his salute"

Claiming that people who were angry "didn't know twitch" because he's been doing this for the last year and a half. Well, again, the emote spam was happening before xqc was who he is today. There are many colleagues of mine, black or not, who would cosign that.

So I feel it would have been more respectful if he would have just looked into the situation a little more before going on his rants. His followers ate all that mess up. But I don't think xqc is a racist. I don't believe he was attacking me. He made a mistake.
