Because gaming community needs a defense force for everything.
Dont forget that Apartheid was a concept created by Dutch, french and German whites in Africa...
but I mean, Europeans have never had a history of Racism so...
Playing games badly or incorrectly is more upsetting to video game playing white dudes than racism, that much should be obvious by now.
Whoa, what is this? Are there screens or examples of this?

Why are these "gamers" so socially impotent, jesus.

Except if the n-word is so embedded in your vocabulary that it slips off the tongue as a directed insult I would consider you to be racist. It shows a complete lack of empathy for an entire race of people and their plight, and that you care more about being able to use said word than their feelings toward it.
I also fail to see how "because he is a public person" has anything to do with that. I'm from the UK and if someone insulted another person openly in the street with "fucking n*****" then there would rightfully be as much fuss.
Racists stick together.
No?

Jesus. The idea that saying racist and/or homophobic shti is justified because you didn't like how something happened in a video game shows how infantile and out of touch with reality 'gamers' are.

It's a game type sort of like My Park on 2K where you create a player and you play that singular player in his position. 11 vs 11 potential matches. But people use the create-a-player tool to make extremely racist characters.

OT: Out the gaming loop for a while, I don't know the context, what game is that? Gore and gunplay look very slick.

Ockham says they intuitively see a slippery slope and feel threatened because they can relate to blurting out that kind of language when playing online.
And to feel good about themselves, they don't consider it racism as they're not lynching anyone, just saying words.
It's the same disconnect and disbelief at play when people say "x% of the country, of gamers, of whatever can't be racist".
Probably won't be able to keep up with the speed of this thread - it went from page 30 to page 90 while I was reading - and pretty much every smart person has had their say, and a rebuttal to every silly argument that's come up.
But yeah. If that's your go to insult then that's not some cutting edge comedy - the guy is a straight up racist. If Youtube had any balls they'd kick him out; people like this don't need a platform.

Christ, gaming culture is so toxic. I can't believe that people are defending this arsehole. Why does anyone care that this talentless, useless, racist piece of shit?

God damn I have only one thing to say about this:
Is that car a Dacia 1300?

It is indeed a Dacia
I'm sure he's editing a video right now victimizing himself.

It absolutely does. Using specific language makes you part of a "tribe" identified by using specific words and mannerisms found within that "tribe" or "movement".
If you use the word "gay" as a slur then you are part of a group who is enabling homophobia, making you, guess what, a homophobe.
Even in the case that people in certain parts of Europe don't really know what the word entails. That is such a bullshit defense here because a) he immediately realises he fucked up and later talks about why he fucked up, so he DOES know what the word entails. And b) he uses it as a derogatory term for someone who is failing in the game. So even in the case he did believe it is a "normal" term to refer to black people, he uses black people to describe a player that is failing at the game.
Also he lives in the UK and is heavily involved in internet culture, offcourse he fucking knows people.

Probably respond with
"Under a lot of pressure"
"Didn't mean to say it"
"I'm not a racist because I have black friends"
Yada yada yada and nothing will happen to him

Calm down about what?
I have no idea why some people acts like it's okay to use the N-word here in Sweden. It's very much frowned upon, it's still a slur in Swedish. And Felix knows this, he's not that oblivious. So people can stop with the whole "It's not a slur in Europe, we don't have racism here". Racism has always been alive and well in Europe, maybe even more than in the US.
He's just a cunt for saying it, a massive cunt.

When I get mad at video games I say "fuck" a lot. Never have I ever used a racist slut or even thought about doing it.
That "gamer rage" excuse is some grade A bullshit. Maybe if the n word comes to your mind as a synonym for "asshole" you are a fucking racist. Those people can't even realize that normal people don't do that. Disgusting.

Noone can have any doubts if he knew or not knew what I means after watching the video.
He knew. Its flatout right there in front of our noses.
That whole "He is European, he might not know" is disingenious crap and a red herring.

The Internet was a mistake.
I assume he's portuguese, "negro" here is our equivalent to "black" (we don't really have an equivalent to the n-word, we have "preto" which is used in a derogatory way, but it doesn't hold the same weight, though it's frowned upon), still, among the youth, everyone knows what the n-word is, so that's not an excuse.
Yeah, that's the problem. YouTube has turned into a garbage platform for garbage people and all the good content creators have to suffer for it. Google's handling of this cesspool is disgraceful.
Racists will argue that in some parts of Europe (Spain) the line blurs because of its similarity to the word negro. And while that is untrue, it's also disingenuous because obviously PDP comes from the opposite side is Europe where there is no language ambiguity about the word. But the reason it wouldn't be a defense for a Spaniard anyway, is that you still clearly understand the meaning of the word if you ever choose to use it as an insult.
If you needed any more evidence that Boogie does not give a single fuck about racism, there you have it. At no point in his twitter rambling does he ever stress the vileness of the phrase "fucking nigger" beyond the most flaccid, indifferent level of commentary about how it must be a stupid mistake or shock humor. About how awful it is for a non-specific group carelessly labeled "everyone". It's just a game for him, another controversy he can flip-flop about and feel as if he's on some moral, logical high ground. Boogie would sooner address hypothetical problems he's made up in his head than confront hate speech in any way. In fact, sticking it to NeoGAF with a snide remark is more important to him. He's a racist's greatest ally and the worst enemy of every minority.
Yup. My exact sentiment on this.

Don't read the comments.
This is why PDP doesn't care. Because his audience doesn't care. He's so big at this point that publishers withdrawing their games from him will make no difference, he will just play something else. There are plenty of games out there I'm sure that belong to people who are "in the middle".
The only way this will change is if YouTube themselves just ban him. I think sometimes YouTube forgets how much power they have (never thought I'd say that). No matter how much this guy makes, he needs YouTube, not the other way around.
Yep! The way he says it is very clear what the intent was and that it is part of his vocabulary. Especially when he said "sometimes I forget I'm live streaming" which only further implies that.
This unfortunately is not specific to gaming culture. Any time someone outs themselves as racist, other racists come out of the woodwork to defend them. Like ants, people you've never heard of or even considered for a moment to be racist can't help but rush to prove just how racist they are. Racists stick together.
