Twitch streamer\u2019s mom horrified after racist donation message Getty Images \/ TwitchA Twitch streamer\u2019s mom was left horrified after a donator left a racist message on her son\u2019s channel, but she laid down the law for his viewers. Trolling through text-to-speech donations has been a thing on Twitch since they were introduced. Whether it\u2019s flaming the person behind the camera or cracking a joke, text-to-speech donations can be used for amusing purposes to enhance the stream experience. However, some trolls take it too far by using it as a platform to spout hate speech, and streamers are left trying to pick up the mess. Luckily for this young Twitch streamer, his mom was on standby to issue them a stern warning. The streamer, whose identity is unknown, looks to be a young American kid, barely old enough to use the platform targeted at people aged 13 or older. Twitch requires parental supervision for streamers under the age of 18, and his mother was doing just that on his Minecraft stream. While sitting in the loading screen, the streamer received an incredibly racist donation message along the lines of \u201cbash all n****** skulls in PogChamp.\u201d Warning: Racism Taken aback by the message, the streamer immediately called his mom over to sort out the issue, and she showed her son\u2019s viewers the boundaries.

How to turn on profanity filters in StreamLabs and StreamElements While text-to-speech donations usually have some sort of profanity filter, some streamers don\u2019t have the filter enabled, or don\u2019t have strict enough settings to block out hate speech. It\u2019s pretty easy to turn on if you don\u2019t have them enabled already \u2013 going into the Donation Settings menu in StreamLabs, or the Tipping Menu in StreamElements, and turning on the Profanity Filter should block out most swear words. This can help keep streams as PG as possible, and safe from text-to-speech donations like this. It\u2019s unclear whether he had the filters disabled or otherwise, but the fact of the matter is the message slipped through the cracks, and his entire Twitch chat was exposed to it. The mother\u2019s warning might only be to her son\u2019s own audience, but everyone involved in the streaming community can take a leaf out of her book when it comes to donation messages. Make sure your filters are strong and enabled, and if you are a parent, keep your kids safe online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
