Valkyrae promises to hold friends accountable after Disguised Toast drama Twitch: Disguised Toast \/ YouTube: ValkyraeIn the wake of an unexpected drama, as OfflineTV member Jeremy \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 Wang was accused of \u201cproblematic\u201d comments, friend and fellow streamer Rachel \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter says she understands where the critics were coming from. Disguised Toast responded to the \u2018cancellation\u2019 attempt from fans, explaining that he always \u201ctoed the line\u201d of edgy humor, but understood that sometimes his jokes could be perceived more harshly than he intended. Although he outright refuted allegations of racism or sexism, he said \u201cmoving forward, I will try to be a lil bit less edgy. But that type of humor is something I grew up with and do personally find humorous.\u201d As a close associate and frequent collaborator with Toast, Valkyrae also received questions and even some criticism from fans over the situation, which she addressed on stream. \u201cI understood where a lot of people were coming from, and I understand their concerns, but as a friend of Toast, I can say that he is none of those things that he has spoken about, and was accused of,\u201d Hofstetter began. \u201cI agree, I do think it\u2019s distasteful. I do think sometimes he crosses the line, and he\u2019s well aware of that.\u201d Valkyrae also addressed criticism of her own response to the drama, where she said that she understood both sides. Some had interpreted this as condoning the \u201cstan\u201d behavior and cancel culture. Valkyrae said she entirely disagrees with that. But, in closing, Valkyrae did say she would try to be more understanding that certain jokes could be perceived differently to different people, and would try to help her friends see this too. \u201c[I will] try to be more aware of these situations. I will do better with holding my friends more accountable to some jokes.\u201d Disguised Toast also addressed the drama on his own stream, and thanked his friends, including Valkyrae, for their support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
