Title: Streamer mOE_TV: "I am going to stop using "f**got" because it might hurt my income"

Reason: User Banned (1 Week): Downplaying the use of hateful pejoratives

Most streamers don't use it for the same reasons. Some people don't say it because they just don't use the word period, but others use it privately amongst friends and don't use it on stream because they don't want their channels banned. He even said that he never meant anything ill by it in the tweet and that its a word he grew up with. Anyway, unlike some, I'm not gonna magically pretend like I've never used it either. It just depends on the people you're around and what you all mean by it IMO. Context is important here. I'm black and I have white friends that have used the n-word around me for example, but it's okay with me because contextually I understand it's not meant to offend. So like I said, context is key here and we should be looking for that in tweets and uses of words.
