Twitch streamer TheBlackHokage shuts down racist hate raid in the perfect way TheBlackHokage\/TwitchTwitch streamer Corey \u2018TheBlackHokage\u2019 Smallwood had what many consider the perfect response to being targeted by a racist hate raid. Creators on Twitch have had to deal with racist bots and so-called \u2018hate raids\u2019 for over a week now. Despite large numbers of them begging the platform to do something, it\u2019s still happening all over. One of the latest streamers to get targeted was TheBlackHokage. But, it seems he\u2019s had a plan to deal with just this type of incident. Today I was hit with a hate raid on Twitch by basement dwelling musty racist neckbeards. It took all my strength to fight back my tears & not break down on stream \ud83e\udd7a pic.twitter.com\/UA3ARYbHaf \u2014 The Black Hokage (@TheBlackHokage) August 15, 2021 \u201cToday I was hit with a hate raid on Twitch by basement dwelling musty racist neckbeards,\u201d Hokage tweeted, acting much more shook than he really was. \u201cIt took all my strength to fight back my tears & not break down on stream.\u201d If you watch the clip, it\u2019s easy to tell he wasn\u2019t really as upset as his sarcastic Tweet made it seem. Hokage was obviously ready and waiting for this exact thing to happen, and sprung into action. \u201cLet\u2019s go yo, I\u2019ve been waiting for this s**t, holy s**t, finally,\u201d the streamer said as racist spam flooded his chat. \u201cI see ya\u2019ll been raiding all the black streamers, and I was waiting for you guys to get to me.\u201d Simply by putting his chat in \u201cSubscribers-only\u201d mode, Hokage instantly banished every racist bot right to the shadow realm. \u201cProblem solved. Now they have to pay me to type that in the chat,\u201d he explained, before mocking the troll or trolls who tried to throw him off. Nah but seriously @Twitch this shit lame af. This type of stuff doesn\u2019t bother me, but most people it will. Y\u2019all need to do better in protecting your creators if you\u2019re truly trying to be inclusive. This type of stuff deflates people & runs them to your competitors. \u2014 The Black Hokage (@TheBlackHokage) August 15, 2021 Mocking the trolls aside though, TheBlackHokage added that Twitch definitely needs to figure out a way to prevent these raids from happening in the first place. \u201cNah but seriously Twitch this s**t lame af,\u201d he added. \u201cThis type of stuff doesn\u2019t bother me, but most people it will. Y\u2019all need to do better in protecting your creators if you\u2019re truly trying to be inclusive. This type of stuff deflates people & runs them to your competitors.\u201d While Hokage did have a great response to the racist trolls, there\u2019s no question this type of thing shouldn\u2019t even be happening in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
