I actually say homophobic things despite having had same sex relationships myself. Half of my family is black yet I tic the N word. I say offensive things about my friends on stream, there is no specific target.
I didn't tic the N word growing up. I heard it a lot in my dad's rap music, and it never felt inappropriate to me because it was normalized. Then people kept spamming it in chat and telling me I'll get banned for saying it. It made me fear saying it, ,making it a tic.
My mom is black. I heard a lot of rap music as a kid. I’ve always known better than to say the N-word.
I never said that I used the term, I just didn't think about it or worry about saying it. Its the worry that can turn it into a tic in my case.
If that’s the case then why don’t you have extremely strict chat moderation to prevent people from spamming you into triggering your tics?
We do our absolute best to prevent tic triggering, we have advanced bots and I have a lot of moderators who ban people for doing it. But there is no possible way to eradicate it completely. Poeple misspell the word, use special characters, ask suggestive questions etc. We try.
I Ironically I received more doubt and suspicion regarding my condition on twitch when the N word wasn't a tic yet. Mainly because people thought it was convenient that I never said phrases that would get me banned. I get abuse and suspicion no matter what my tics are.
