    As someone who’s white and autistic
    Do people seriously not know about slur redemption and how people of a minority will call each other a slur because they can? Like for example, I can say the word “retard” because I’m Nuerodivergent
    I also feel like the Splatoon community is only super accepting towards those who are queer, because I see a lot more drama and discourse when it comes to race or health complications

      Here's the thing. They do know 100%. They are just playing dumb. It's specifically when a black (and I mean black, not POC) person starts speaking and having fun that all of a sudden it's a problem.

      I don't see any discourse but I see a lot of toxic positivity towards the LGBTQ community. If someone was queer and acting "offensive" or "out of line," the fanbase would probably do something similar.

      I can understand this within the context of your own UA-cam content and channel that other people would have to go out of their way to experience. Outside of this I can fully understand people being uncomfortable hearing or being called r / n / f word and so on if they don’t know who you are.

    I just had a giant argument with some guy on another social media platform because he thought that Marina was a gyaru and wouldn't just accept that she's one of Nintendo's only black characters. I can't imagine just how stressful it must be, but then again as a trans person, I see transphobic people in like... Every fandom that I know, so I can KIND OF relate.

    I’ve never heard of you until today but you’ve definitely got a point that’s for sure. A lot of people in the Splatoon community seem to lack the ability to empathize or just simply shut their mouth at times when it’s needed. If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it at all is something I still stand by, and the stuff happening in this community rn is the perfect example of that. I might not be able to relate much since I’m not black, but I definitely feel you man. This community sucks, try your best to keep ignoring them and just keep being you!

    Reguarding what you said, I think its a more broad issue with the comunity.
    The Splatoon comunity are constantly walking on eggshells, they're always self-censoring to the point where swears are "edgy" to them.
    There's that "Steven universe comunity" type of fake toxic positivity, where if you say something that might offend someone, you're an asshole.
    This prevents people from being authentic and the amount of content creators that kinda behave like that make them not used to hear normal discussions.
    Since most of the honnest content creators happen to be black, they end up receiving the dumbest comments.
    So you end up with idiots whinning about your jokes or whinning over black people saying the N-word.
    Most people in this comunity are too much soft, they don't need to be edgelords but they need to have a thicker skin and to go outside

      ​@@jacobgonzalez1386 I hate that type of people.
      The modern usage of "ally" means someone who glazes a group they're not appart of.
      This is so weird, it feels like someone with a superiority complex "saving the helpless opressed group".
      I'm sure than most "allies" are just racists, who don't want to be seen as racist by doing the opposite.
      Calling out bs doesn't make you an "ally", it just means you're normal and have empathy.
      Tbh as a black guy I would much rather hang around a normal person than an "ally" who will only see me as a perpetually oppressed victim.

    Something I’ve observed is most of the time the people bothered by “excessive” use of the N word BY black people always end up being non black people that are SO annoyed THEY can’t say the word that they want to police language so that NO one can say it. If they don’t have a “right” to something then no one should have the right. In their eyes it’s about having a Completely “equal” playing field that eviscerates context, culture, nuance, empathy, and always come back to this deeply engrained entitlement that rears its ugly head. It’s really sad seeing it so much in this community. Both with the marina issue and with how people interact with black creators in the community. I hope you are doing well and continue to thrive as a black creator with a unique channel and perspective, and may no one squander your right to be yourself.

    I'm really glad videos like this have been getting more attention in the Splatoon community. I feel like for a long time a very large portion of the fanbase has kind of had this ego about being a super inclusive community that's cool with all sorts of minorities, and while we are better than a lot of other gaming communities, I see almost no talk of what should be done to make sure people feel safer here than they do now. I feel like for a lot of people in the splatoon community, the idea of being accepting is enough for them, and that kind of overwrites actual community improvement in a lot of people's eyes. Videos like this where people are just open and honest about ways in which this community are racist, or homophobic, or misogynistic based on people's experiences in them are desperately needed and I really hope that this, and other forms of content like it keep happening, because these are discussions that need to happen and haven't been.

Except the only difference is we only use it in regards to one another, just not with ppl outside of the community.
    I think it can be likened to being informal and casual with your friends, but you wouldn't feel comfortable with a stranger or acquaintance calling you that nickname because you don't know them like that.

    It's so strange coming from the FGC and seeing the types of people in this community.
    I love your videos because you're authentic, it reminds me of some of the shit people say at my local. I remember one time playing Tekken 8 in some casuals against a Devil Jin, some guy came up to my spot and asked which one was playing Devil Jin, I said it was him. He said "i hope you aint in bracket", looked at me and said "you a real one for putting up with this guy"
    Those two obviously at least kinda knew each other, because the Devil Jin player said "You play Azucena what the hell are you saying?" and got in some dumb ass argument mid match. I let them have the seat and watched them beef it out. The Devil Jin won, and said "Devil Jin ain't even THAT good though" and I think like half the crowd started laughing at that
    It was awesome! Friendly shit talk is where personality shines imo, at least in competitive games. We really need a bit more of it! Or at least people willing to LISTEN to it. Life is so much fun when you take shit like that a lot less seriously, and yeah obviously lines have to be drawn in cases, but if it's between friends? People are friends for a reason, shit talk and all!

    As an Eastern European myself I also use a slur that I’m allowed to say in peace which would be the k word. It’s basically how western and Central Europeans referred to Balkan or Eastern Europeans in general like that. And bro, people are talking like I offended them. Even though I used a word that I’m allowed to use since I was born ☠️
    Btw this is a German word but it’s slowly becoming more common in English speaking media. So it’s pretty normal if not a lot of people don’t know about this.

    I’m not black or anything, but your point is so valid. I don’t like on how the Splatoon community somehow forget that racism isn’t only octolings not being able to go to the surface and etc, but forgetting the main point of racism makes me so pissed. If I had to define the word racism it would be someone that doesn’t have the same genetic traits as you and you don’t accept it. Besides, the fact that (white) people in the community are mad at you for saying a racial slur in which the white people used to insult the black people, but is commonly used by black people as a way to refer themselves to someone else in a neutral (or positive) way is so messed up. It makes me sad on how there’s racism and xenophobia everywhere, and I know that well due to me being an immigrant from Brazil.

    I’m sorry you’re getting all this unnecessary backlash, that sucks.
    In terms of the N word, I don’t like it personally, it sounds gross, plus there’s the history behind it which is not cool. Of course, you can say it all you want, since you are black, but I sometimes wonder…why do yall say it anyway? I mean, wasn’t it a racial slur that was created by whites and aimed at you? Why would you wanna say a word that’s so messed up and offensive anyway? But, eh, that’s just me being curious, you do you bro.
    I got no business with it, since I’m as white and pale as vanilla. I just get uncomfortable when I hear the N word, but it’s ok…you do you.
    Also, i relate to being direct and not beating around the bush (I’m on the spectrum), so it’s good that you’re doing your own thing.

    And don’t get me started with people acting like black biracial people can’t say the N-word or claim they’re not “black” enough. I’ve been assumed as “white” several times just because I don’t shove my face in the camera or I have different opinions. (Not in this community, just in general)

    Honestly I am from the windy city and I am around color individuals all the time, his is heavily normal for majority of these people both male and female. The thing that most non color individuals expect are the "Professional" color individuals such your Thatsrbtwodude / Kiver top players or your color entertainers such Jaymoji that was mentioned in the video.
    We have to realize that these newer generations of individuals are mostly online and are heavily shelter and mostly have no real world experience with other individuals outside of closed off lan events at best, but we hear too much that goes on with those negatively.
    However I personally do not like the listen of the "Racial Slur" and there are more color individuals who also do not like the word either as they find it degrading however I mostly chock it up to just being American color Splatubers as that is what most individuals would probably see similar channels to yours.
    I personally find the banter silly and I understand that is how colored Americans communicate with one another. Let them be who they are amongst themselves as if that bothers one, then said individual(s) should turn away.
    Lastly The colored subject of white washing / black washing is trivial to me as it just a character, as I believe that Marina image was painted using pastel colors, which the official art has done also. My opinion to the subject matter is that I just do not care as I do not have a connection to any fictional character design.
