Joel “adm5” Zimmerman is spend om Twch followg the e of a homophobic slur over the weekend durg a livtream of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. “Is that some fuckg ck-suckg stream sniper, ” Zimmerman said, before ncludg his sentence wh a homophobic slur. While he says homophobic slurs are “toxic” and “not an iology i hold closely to my moral standg, ” his rponse is seasoned wh personal attacks on a journalist and plats about the ter general.
14): In a send post on Redd, which clearly mak reference to the first, Zimmerman apologiz for his e of a homophobic slur and his attack on the Twch rporatn. ” But ’s credibly spic that Deadm5 would let a homophobic slur slip out of his mouth, as “fag” is a homophobic slur regardls of s ntext.
In this se, Deadm5 is sayg that stalkg someone on a stream is jt as bad as beg gay. “By obscurg the actual problem (g a homophobic slur and a punishment beg meted out), he’s not only downplayg what that word means and why there are repercsns (which admtedly, he should know given he censored the word himself), but also makg clear that he don’t feel that this is a safety issue and a gatekeepg issue, ” Deyo told me over Disrd.
IS ADM5 GAY
After Deadm5 ma a homophobic oral sex joke and suggted that “women don’t [posss] penis” October, I penned a viral tweet llg out Deadm5 for his homophobia and transphobia. Slasher, who is an tablished profsnal the ports field wh over 80, 000 followers, stepped to the thread and proceed to talk over me, strsg Deadm5 “is not homophobic/transphobic, ” and that he was happy to “jump on board the irrelevancy tra” if Deadm5’s homophobia and transphobia ma him “irrelevant.
Every time you tell your dience that homophobic slurs shouldn't be a bannable offense, you're tellg queer folks that the same words ed to mock, nigrate and attack them aren't such a big al your book. “So this particular se I took the most feedback om those who are gay and intify wh the LGBTQ muny as those people are the most affected by this, ” Slasher told me over Twter DM.
TWCH BANS MICIAN DEADM5 FOR G GAY SLUR. DEADM5 ISSU BLISTERG NON-APOLOGY.
“As someone who knows [Deadm5] person—and admtedly I am biased on this—I firmly believe he is not homophobic or transphobic, which I believe is very siar to the tweets I sent you durg that time, ” Slasher said to me, referrg to our fight October. Slasher and Deadm5 aren’t thori on what is or isn’t homophobic. “Before most of my experienc wh sexism and homophobia happened onle gamg spac—where I was ee to disnnect or exprs my anger.
It n silence our voic, erase our needs, and stroy potential reprentatn—not to mentn, homophobia n snowball if left unchecked. Twch, the popular vio gamg streamg service, spend the acunt of popular DJ adm5 (pronounced "ad moe") for g homophobic slurs an outburst while streamg "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
