Controversial YouTuber Boogie2988 under fire for racist comments on stream Boogie2988, TwitchPopular internet personality Steven \u2018Boogie2988\u2019 Williams is a controversial figure across the web, with critics even compiling a massive list of problematic moments from his past \u2013 but a clip from one of his older Twitch streams is making the rounds online, due to a racist comment he made during the broadcast. Boogie2988 is best known for his video content, which includes humorous rants about video games and nerd culture, garnering him a massive audience of over 4 million subscribers throughout his career on YouTube. However, his live streams continue to exist as a point of contention with critics across the web, with users pointing out an older clip from a past Twitch broadcast that has audiences reeling with shock and distaste. 600In the offending clip, Boogie received a $3 donation from a fan named \u201cSparkledump,\u201d who claimed that they were a person of color \u2013 to which Boogie had a shocking response. \u201cSparkledump, I\u2019m glad to hear you\u2019re still black,\u201d he responded. \u201cAnd thanks for two months of support, man. That\u2019s a lot of money, I guess, for a person of color, or is it not? I don\u2019t know \u2013 but I have a gun that\u2019s also a USB drive. I don\u2019t know if that offends you, Twitch.\u201d The clip has stirred outrage across the internet after resurfacing, with users decrying Boogie\u2019s comments as openly racist. \u201cWtf is his deal?\u201d one user asked. \u201cJust shut up. Be hyped about games and fucking nothing else. Just shut [your] mouth.\u201d \u201cWill people finally realize this guy is actual trash?\u201d another said of the matter. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Boogie has stirred up controversy, by far; the YouTuber has come under fire for a multitude of controversies, one of which included Apex Legends stream, and even appearing to admit to tax fraud in a following broadcast. In fact, critics are so outspoken about the YouTuber that they have compiled an entire Wiki listing his wrongdoings \u2013 a matter that Boogie says has even made him \u201csuicidal.\u201d Ironically all of this negativity makes me horribly suicidal. I struggle with it daily. I hate it. The idea that so many people think I am even capable of these things makes me wish I wasnt alive. Those things are truly the opposite of who and what I am. 2\/?\u2014 Boogie2988 :soon: vidcon!

The idea that so many people think I am even capable of these things makes me wish I wasn\u2019t alive.\u201d While Boogie sports an ample group of critics, his fanbase continues to support him despite the backlash \u2013 but it\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019ll shake the hate any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
