Myth, xQc & more defend Symfuhny after \u2018slip up\u2019 with racial slur on stream Symfuhny \/ Twitch: MythMyth, xQc and Hasan have defended Symfuhny after a clip of him allegedly using a racial epithet during a Warzone Twitch stream. Fortnite pro and Twitch streamer Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier was caught in a wave of controversy after he was accused of using a racial slur while streaming Warzone. As he was parachuting into Verdansk, he spoke to Myth entering his chat when it sounded like he used the term. He didn\u2019t address the situation on stream, continuing to play as normal. However, several major streamers, including xQc, Myth and Hasan, have come out in defense of Symfuhny. On his stream, Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani made it a priority to come to Symfuhny\u2019s defense. \u201cThis sounds bad. I can admit it, you can admit it, we can admit it. But I have to tell you guys that Sym did not say the n-word. Even though we heard it, he didn\u2019t say it. \u201cSym has the weird behavior and patterns of a 12-year-old child. The kid\u2019s awkward, scrawny, weak, bad at FPS games, and on top of that he doesn\u2019t know how to speak proper English. \u201cI talked to Sym and he genuinely mumbled up a bunch of words and it came out like that.\u201d Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyell empathized with Symfuhny\u2019s experience. \u201cTo me it feels like something I do really often, [which] is have an idea of what I am going to say and have a different idea and change a word in the middle, and it reroutes like that,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like that could happen. \u201cI had a clip like that a long time ago, and everyone was mad at me because they thought I said it.\u201d Hasan also backed Symfuhny, claiming he would not expect the streamer to have said a racial slur. \u201cIf this is something he casually says and he is dropping it here, then it\u2019s fucked up, he said. \u201cNo question. \u201cBut with all my experiences with Sym, and I don\u2019t know him that well, he is a very nice kid. He doesn\u2019t strike me as the kind of person who casually drops the n-word. Chance \u2018sodapoppin\u2019 Morris had a more carefree take on the situation, but still backed Symfuhny. \u201cI f***ed up,\u201d he said. \u201cToday Symfuhny said the n-word on stream and I didn\u2019t give my opinion on it. I\u2019m such a f***ing idiot. I really don\u2019t think he\u2019s racist. Had to get that out there.\u201d While Twitch hasn\u2019t taken action at this point, the platform has been accused by the likes of Forsen for banning people even for accidental or misinterpreted uses of inappropriate language. Symfuhny is yet to publicly comment on the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
