Also, a note for any smart ass who may try to blame creators for not having every iteration & work around to block these things? We do. Racists & harassers are just that fucking dedicated to the grind of being hateful.

CW racial slur in image. If you are Black, used the hash tag #TwitchDoBetter & new Black tag when streaming; then you may get targeted by these folks.
They used a Cyrillic “e” to get around filters. Reads as the full word. So that was “fun”

The filters barely work. Where there is a racist will? There’s a fucking way. See also the stalker I had (may still have on Twitch) who went out of his way to follow me on & off the platform.

So be mindful of viewbotting, take whatever precautions you need and if you need to cut a stream or take a day off for your well being? No one better say a fuckin word. Protect yourselves y’all.

Also please stop being shocked this is happening. After the dictator Cheeto was in power for 4 years, we had an insurrection on 1/6/21, etc? The groundwork has been there. This is just the current wave of new recruits starting with an easy target.

We need Twitch to take action. We need folks to stop being surprised at this racist shit that happens on the regular on Twitch, twitter, YouTube, etc. This ain't new. It's being Black online, any day ending in Y. It's why I say be an accomplice.

PS: y’all wanna be shocked & stunned this happens but still let P*p* frog & other racist dog whistle emotes be used your chat. So maybe do something about those too.
