I've been making content for many years and am aware that I've used some hurtful language and made some jokes in poor taste. It was never intended to be hurtful and I apologise sincerely. (2/3)

There's no excuse for me being stupid and immature - I know better. I will do better in the future and will endeavour to grow and improve. Hope everyone out there is doing okay. I love you and thanks for the support. (3/3)

Also, keep the sexism in mind. Consider looking into Madcat and his comments on his/the discord

Thank you so much, Lewis. As a non-white Yognau(gh)t, I have felt uncomfortable and winced anytime a racist joke came up. I felt reluctant to enjoy yogs content. This apology means a lot to me and I shall continue to support you guys!

They always make an effort to change, i think thats whats important. Lewis doesnt ever say something awful then stick to his guns he apologises and learns from it

Saying this is great and it definitely shows the start of change but I think to keep and hold that promise you need to condemn the racists, sexists, homophobes etc that have felt safe in the community because of the jokes you have made in the past.

Normally I don’t speak up in the yogscast community (especially in the comments section and on reddit) and it’s because of those types of people in the community and as soon as those people realise they’re not welcome then the community could be a better place.

You guys are entertainers, you shouldn't have to walk on eggshells all the time over this.
-
You should never have to apologize for jokes to appease people.

There wasn’t really any need to apologize. We all know they’re just jokes. But the fact you did anyway I can admire.
