Fortnite Star Tfue Allegedly Uses Offensive Language During Live Stream
Popular Fortnite streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney has come under fire for reportedly using a racial slur during one of his recent Minecraft broadcasts.
In the video, Tfue can be heard cursing while attacking a group of enemies.
“You guys killed all the villagers, man,” Tfue said. “Y’all killed them [******]. You can suck my pee pee, man.”
The clip has since been deleted from Tfue’s Twitch channel.
Twitch may consider taking action against Tfue, as they evaluate various factors to determine if the comments violate their guidelines on hateful conduct.
On a similar note, Twitch did not suspend Tyler “Ninja” Blevins when he accidentally used offensive language during a live stream because he was rapping lyrics.
According to Twitch’s Community Guidelines, racial hate conduct encompasses content that promotes discrimination, denigration, objectification, harassment, or violence.
Ninja quickly apologized for his mistake on Twitter and managed to avoid a suspension, as the context was not deemed hateful.
It remains uncertain if Tfue’s comments, which were not part of a song, will result in any consequences. At the time of this article, Tfue’s Twitch channel, which has nearly seven million followers, is still active.
