Over time there\u2019s been an ongoing controversy about streamers using slurs in the community. Most adversaries have expressed their displeasure in using pejorative terms, while other defenders have argued that, those against it are needlessly soft and sensitive.<\/p>\n

Pokimane, a Twitch<\/a> content creator and streamer who is well known for her streams of Fortnite<\/a>, League of Legends<\/a>, Valorant<\/a>, and Minecraft, was not left out. As she joined the list of streamers who have expressed their opinion about the use of slurs. She stated definitively in a tweet, that there are fleets of words to use without being condescending to marginalized groups. <\/p>\n

\n

it\u2019s disappointing to still see people use slurs, especially in the gaming community. <\/p>\n

i hope they can grow and learn that there\u2019s a plethora of terms they can use without harming marginalized groups.<\/p>\n
