yeah you had me until this part. if you can’t control your tics and tend to say inappropriate things, but then here it seems you don’t believe those words are offensive then why are you still saying them still?https://twitter.com/Tweet4nita/status/1252669456842739712 …

I would hope that by engaging with me, people learn how to understand and interact with people who have TS. I actually spend large portions of my stream talking about depression, mental health, and life skills. Education is pretty central to my streams.

I can't offer help, advice and education unless people understand the difference between my speech, and my tics. I know that my tics are not what I feel or believe, but other people don't. I still worry about saying or doing these things, so they become tics.

I also put my hands in fire, punch my own face, throw my coffee on the floor, break expensive streaming equipment etc. More often than not I am the one who receives the brunt of these types of tics. I don't benefit from any of them. I do wonder why you think I would want this.

You do seem to have a large Twitch following surrounding your tics. I don’t see how your offensive tics seem to revolve solely around non-white people. It doesn’t seem equally offensive across the board it seems pretty targeted to me.

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.

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.
