Dakotaz reports teammate after sick joke about shooting up a school YouTube: DakotazPopular Twitch streamer Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2018 Hoffman was forced to report a random teammate in Fortnite to Epic Games and authorities, after the player made \u2018jokes\u2019 alluding to committing a school shooting. Playing with random teammates in Fortnite can be a risky business, and even more so for streamers, with trolls always ready to say something out of line. Many streamers have had the misfortune of random teammates making racist or sexist remarks, even joking about rape \u2013 but Dakotaz\u2019 encountered an even more sinister troll during his June 26 broadcast. The player in question was explaining to Hoffman that he experienced bullying in school, although it was difficult to determine if he was being sincere. After Dakotaz expressed that he \u201cwas sorry to hear that\u201d, the player responded \u201cI\u2019ll get through it, either that or I am going to go there and \u2018double pump\u2019 them\u201d \u2013 referring to the \u2018pump\u2019 shotgun in Fortnite. Replying \u201cI don\u2019t like that kind of talk\u201d, Dakotaz quickly mutes the player, before expressing concern to his viewers. After his initial shock, the streamer decided that it would be best to just report the player, first to developer Epic Games, and later says he will also report them to \u2018authorities.\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m actually reporting your name to people right now, because that\u2019s actually criminal to say,\u201d Dakotaz explains, with the random player simply responding, \u201cthat\u2019s ok\u201d. Having reported the player to Epic, Hoffman confirms that he will also report it to authorities: \u201cThis is no joking matter. He\u2019s going to learn [that you can\u2019t say things like that].\u201d Although it\u2019s likely the player was only making the comments in an attempt to be edgy, Dakotaz was clearly not amused, and took the opportunity to make sure none of his viewers thought such jokes were \u2018funny\u2019 either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
