Streamer drama at this point is to be expected nowadays, between high profile streamer bans and cheating accusations. Recently, however, a new piece of controversy has arisen within the streaming community<\/a> due to streamer Fitz using an ablest slur during one of his Minecraft<\/em> streams on Twitch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on January 17th, 2021. During the Twitch<\/a> stream, Fitz can be quoted as saying “What am I actually doing? I\u2019m r*tarded” while playing Minecraft<\/em>. He then proceeded to follow up the statement by saying “Can I say that? Are they gonna get mad at me on Twitter?” This of course upset many people watching the stream, as it is often utilized as a\u00a0slur against people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Many witnesses to the event took to Twitter to\u00a0voice their disapproval. While many agreed with Fitz’s word choice being wrong, others felt that people being upset about slur usage<\/a> was blown out of proportion. Of course, Fitz responded to this criticism himself, as well.<\/p>\n
