Title: FaZe Fortnite Streamer Tfue Banned on Twitch for 30 Days for Calling Another Player "Coon"

Reason: User warned: Disingenuous argument/ Strawman building "he has black friends"

His entire chat and youtube community who knows this guy much better than we do and has quite a few PoC in it have all mostly confirmed that his excuse is legit and fits with something he would do. This is a classic example of todays society wanting to crucify everyone and every so often the wrong people get caught in it. Ninjas actual racial slur got shoved under the rug but tfues is gonna be crucified? double standards aren't cool man. I dont watch tfue im more of a CDN and Myth guy but Id rather trust his chat especially the PoC in his chat over random assumptions online as they watch him daily for hours. Now i'm not at all defending racism or racist remarks fuck anyone who is racist or even remarks in that way and claims not to be but in this case i believe he was just being funny and didnt realize that was a racist term i mean hes a dumb surfer bro i doubt he is exposed to that term often. Actual racist deserve to be shunned and exiled and literally all put on an islands alone to slowly starve as they all insult each other but we should be more smart over who we pick to crucify instead of jumping at every possible opportunity to do try to hurt someones career over it. (Edit) I did not say "He has black friends" so dont know why i would be warned for that? ludicrous argument, In this case the PoC are people that support his career outright with no emotional connection so the connection is WAY different than "Black Friends" (Which btw should be turned to PoC friends to be inclusive). And besides my argument was way above just his chat defending him I offered other valid points as well.
