xQc backs Twitch over \u201ccracker\u201d controversy after Hasan ban: \u201cThere\u2019s no excuse\u201d Twitch: xQcOW \/ HasanAbiStreamer xQc backed Twitch after controversy broke out over Hasan being banned for saying \u201ccracker\u201d on stream. The former Overwatch pro called the word \u201ctrashy\u201d and said it has no place on the platform. Twitch kicked off a wave of controversy after they banned Hasan \u2018HasanAbi\u2019 Piker on December 13, 2021, for using the term \u201ccracker\u201d multiple times on stream. The 30-year-old had argued that it was not an offensive slur. Felix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel weighed in on the situation and disagreed with the former Young Turks personality. According to the Canadian, the word is \u201cunneeded\u201d and shouldn\u2019t be said on the platform. xQc backs Twitch over \u201ccracker\u201d ban controversy While this isn\u2019t the first time xQc has shared his take on the \u201ccracker\u201d debate, the streamer gave an explosive rant during his Dcember 13 broadcast after Hasan was banned for refusing to back down on defending the term. \u201cI don\u2019t take offense to the word. I\u2019m French Canadian, okay?\u201d he began. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the f**k, I don\u2019t know the history or the story of the term. I don\u2019t know NOTHING about any of these words! All I know is the basis of insulting based on skin color is trashy and unneeded.\u201d Lengyel then defended Twitch taking a stand over the word. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have to go there. It doesn\u2019t get anyone anywhere. I don\u2019t give a f**k, there is no point,\u201d he continued. \u201cJust don\u2019t. It\u2019s not that hard. How is it so hard to understand for some people?\u201d The Twitch star called out people who are willing to go to extremes just to be able to say a word. \u201cPeople will take words and concepts and are willing to die on these hills. I WANT to keep saying this. It\u2019s, like three or four words you can\u2019t say, chill out.\u201d He then concluded his rant and exclaimed, \u201cHoly f**k, how hard is it to understand that these words make people feel uncomfortable and makes them feel a lot of things. And that\u2019s WHY you use them. That\u2019s exactly why you use them.\u201d While xQc didn\u2019t outright support Piker being banned, he did make it clear that he didn\u2019t think the word should be allowed on the platform. The \u201ccracker\u201d debate kicked off on December 11 after Hasan called a Reddit user a \u201cdumb cracker b**ch\u201d during his broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
