[UPDATED] FaZe Clan Pro Fortnite Player Tfue Suspended from Twitch for Saying a Banned Word Live on Stream UPDATE \u2013 5\/18 9:42 PST FaZe Tfue has announced on his Twitter page that his suspension from Twitch has been reduced from 30 days to 7 days. FaZe Clan professional Fortnite player Tuner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney has been handed a seven day suspension from the popular streaming platform Twitch. This happened after he said a banned word live on his stream while playing Fortnite: Battle Royale on May 18th, 2018. Tfue was in a brief gunfight in-game against a player who appeared to be wearing a dark colored character skin, and while he was chasing him, he said the following statement. \u201cWhere is this c**n going?\u201d The word that Tfue used has multiple meanings and usages \u2013 officially, it can be used as a short and abbreviated way to refer to a raccoon but has also long been considered a demeaning and insulting racial slur against dark-skinned people.

Tfue eventually released a YouTube video to explain the situation, claiming that his intentions were not racial but instead he used the word because the character he was chasing had a skin that resembled a raccoon. \u201cAnybody who knows me knows that I didn\u2019t use that in a racist way at all. I used it for its primary meaning in that it\u2019s short for raccoon.\u201d However, he also concedes that he should have known better than to say a word like that live on Twitch, considering how strict the streaming platform has become with violations to its Terms of Service agreement. \u201cI really, I\u2019m just sorry and disappointed in myself that I should have known better you know? I just don\u2019t want this to affect my career any more so than it already is, so I just really want to address it to everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
