SoaR Gaming release popular YouTuber over transphobic comments Twitter: SoaRGaming \/ Youtube: TheRealKenzoSoaR Gaming have released one of their content creators over transphobic comments made in 2018. SoaR Gaming have ended their partnership with popular youtuber \u2018TheRealKenzo\u2019 over transphobic comments. Kenzo made the comments in a Discord channel in relation to an Overwatch tournament. Most of the publicly available comments Kenzo made were directed towards \u2018EeveeA\u2019, an Overwatch content creator who identifies as transgender. The comments were spread across March 2017 to August 2018. Due to recent events, we have decided to release @TheFakeKenzo from SoaR. \u2014 SoaR (@SoaRGaming) August 29, 2019 Twitter user \u2018LonelyKarma2405\u2019 compiled multiple statements made by Kenzo, including messages about EeveeA. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that lesbians or bi exist, it\u2019s all a conspiracy from the illuminati,\u201d said one message. \u201cHow come we never see transgender people being lesbian? Like a man transgendering to a woman, then still like women. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t believe in the whole \u201cput in the wrong body\u201d type of thing, since there\u2019s no people that\u2019s put in the wrong body but still like the opposite sex.\u201d \u201cYou heard what they said. Black people can\u2019t be racist and females can\u2019t be sexist,\u201d one message said. One of the other people in the Discord tried to warn Kenzo about his comments in the Twitch chat, saying that \u201cwe are getting [you a] bad reputation now.\u201d Kenzo replied with \u201cI don\u2019t care about these extreme feminists, [I\u2019m] just watching because my friend is playing in one of the teams.\u201d Kenzo released a statement after SoaR announced his removal from the organization. \u201cAbout a year ago I acted and thought in ways that\u2019s not okay and I regret being like that,\u201d he said. \u201cI talked to EeveeA and I have a wider knowledge of what I did wrong. I can\u2019t take back what I said, but I can change of who I am today and improve. And I hope people will give me time.\u201d About a year ago I acted and thought in ways that’s not okay and I regret being like that.
