i think twitch might be getting a bit tougher on that. they banned racist nutjob nick fuentes after he appeared on a twitch politics debate (of course youtube still lets him host his show where he makes holocaust denial dogwhistles).

He always makes dumb half apologies or non apologies if anything.

Warning: it's very anticlimactic.

It's weird that this gets him banned rather than all his other poo poo. Don't get me wrong, he's an rear end in a top hat and deserves this but it's like catching Al Capone for tax evasion.

Someone said it was during the Twitch Rivals Sekiro challenge as well, and the dates match up and have him listed as a participant.

I didn't even know he played that. He was on the Megaman 11 one and did terribly in that too. Looks like he's just hopping on whatever is hot lately.

He’s clearly not racist; he’s just a fan of Jackie Chan.

Let's go explorin' little dude!
He's responded on twitter in video form and I guess still true to himself features no apology or regret for his actions. Comments that follow are what you expect: "locker room talk," "it's like when we said 'that's gay'", alt-right brony, etc.

I think this Caleb thing is really interesting. This case is pretty clear cut because he broadcast himself saying something racist (he didn't say it contemporaneously, and he streamed it unintentionally, but that doesn't matter), but what if he was on the other end of the conversation and was speaking with someone racist without actually saying anything racist, is that bannable? What's Twitch's policy on having racist slurs and stuff pop up in messaging windows from people trying to get you in trouble? I wish there was a gamer supreme court, i'd love to hear a More Perfect style podcast about it.

Is he seriously still doing the brony thing now? Christ even the people who do conventions for the bronies are shutting things down these days.

I think you misread that, or maybe I'm misreading you. I don't think Caleb is a brony, but there are bronies in his replies defending him.

Found the clip from last fall, his chat making transphobic alt accounts, then donating so they get up on stream and he read it out, then chuckled and didn't ban them. I've posted it before.

Its no wonder Proto has a grudge against gdq. Even after this stream, Caleb got a run accepted at the next event.

I can't believe how many people are just "Stay strong Caleb! It's bullshit they're doing this to you!" instead of "You're an idiot."

Like, even if you're a fan of someone, you don't have to worship everything they do. You can disagree with them, and even call them out for doing stupid poo poo. I don't know why people don't get that.

Although I guess the kinds of people that are fans of Caleb Hart in 2019 are probably the kind of people who think it's a pretty okay thing to say as long as you're IN PRIVATE and those SNOWFLAKES don't go all SOY on you or whatever people say now.

He was saying that to Carcinogen too. I didn't realize they were friends. Hopefully he's not a chud too, I loved Carci's RE7 run at A/SGDQ and his streams are fun.

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
carci has never struck me as a chud from any of my interactions with him but I've not really known him to ever have the energy for that sort of thing so he probably just couldn't be hosed to be confrontational about the one message or something especially since they were in the middle of Twitch Rivals

anyway yeah caleb's put out his half-assed apology vid which I genuinely laughed at due to how he said that "spreading negativity will not make the situation better" and described it as a "learning experience" like he has done the past four times where some stupid poo poo has exited his mouth.

in the meantime here's a punchy speedupdate which is that since being accepted into GDQ that seemed about a good a moment as any to knock sometime off this record

First of all, gently caress Caleb.
Secondly, however, I'd like to point out that we really shouldn't judge people based on how they present themselves. Even with chuds, however much I hate them, self-harm and anger management problems can stem from all sorts of personal issues which they're better off working out than letting ruin themselves.
People have to acknowledge they have a problem first, though - and that can be hard.

:ninja:edit: It's probably especially hard when you're a chud because when you're a chud you've got a whole set of ideas that everyone else knows to be all kinds of hosed up :thunk:

I think the question was more "is he still into it?" as the fact that Caleb used to be a brony was pretty well known.
