You can't, only if the streamer has said publicly what it is. Although I am pretty sure Lirik has more than 20k subs. Closer to 30k I reckon. Add in sponsorships and he is likely making over $1 mil a year.

Just arrived at that part, holy fucking shit.
No, never ever is that acceptable.
Usually streamers will tell you in my experience. I'm sure they get taxed up the ass though on every dime they make.
"Fuck him" as immediate response. Nothing about outrage culture or something. This is how it is supposed to be.
Why is it so hard huh lirik, boogie ?

Sometimes I really wonder what people like you are trying to accomplish with this stupid shit.
Is that the line?

Just as much tax as anyone pays. Probably runs it through a business though, so not everything is filed as income tax. There is no special higher level here they are paying.

To help the diet racists differentiate their views, and earn a peaceful sleep at night by being a little less ignorant:
You use the word "nigga" when expressing happiness with your friends? Whatever, fuckface.
You use the word "nigger" when expressing anger with your friends? Fuck you.

Oh no, no worries, I wasn't responding to what you said, I was responding to lirik's tweets. Sorry, maybe I trimmed the quote in a dumb way.

Sorry. I guess It's racist if it offends people. That's the line you have to draw.

Here's what I expect from PewDiePie's inevitable non-apology:
"Look guys, I'm not really a racist, I have a lot of diverse friends and I don't judge people based on their skin. Hate is bad. I don't hate anyone.
As for why I used that phrase, sometimes offensive phrases just pop into my head. I used a really bad one then, I didn't mean it, and I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm sorry I used that phrase because it offended people. Let's all just try to get along!"

In retrospect, it's amusing and telling that The Game Awards trending gamers of the year in 2014 and 2016 were TB and Boogie.
You can't really celebrate gaming without your hypocrite moderate who gives cover to the awfulness of the community.

What the hell. This is so strange. Is he just trying to cash in on this stuff by (re)uploading a video like that now.
I'd like to put $50 on "It's just a word", please

If the word wasn't a part of your vocabulary, it wouldn't come so easily to your lips in a "heated" situation (playing a video game ffs)
That's one of his subscribers, he's got millions of kids willing and ready to defend him just like that.

If you're the kind of streamer that is going to let slip out the occasional 'n****' , then you need to be finding something else to do with your time
Unbelievable..what the fuck..

This smells a lot like "both sides". Fluff the incident into some bigger picture strawman so he doesn't have to only scold PDP.
This is why this shit needs to be directly condemned from all sides, head on.
While, i don't really care to discuss the merits of PDP's talent, Martin tap danced on a good point. The internet and the reach it has allows people to do things of the lowest caliber to try to get instant fame and recognition.
Compound this with the fact that we're rapidly moving towards a space where the majority of people who consume content on the internet have very little, if any, idea what life is/was like without the internet. So naturally kids are going to be learning from this shit, not just off the virtue that they're kids, but because they've been consuming this content for their whole lives
So if the most popular person on the most popular video site is saying stuff like this and he's being unchecked, particularly by his contemporaries on the same exact platform, you're just begging kids to just shrug this off in the same exact manner and normalize it in their own lives

Done.
When I get angry in games, I use the word "Mother" and "Fucking" and "Frustrating" and "Asshole" a lot. Never a racial slur. You say the first thing that comes in your head, and sadly the word "asshole" was the second word he uttered prior to being an outed prick.

Oh dear. The longer Youtube clip has a cesspool of racist and hateful comments seemingly upvoted by like-minded keyboard racists. Makes you lose faith in humanity. Reported a load of them.
That's the problem. He has a shit ton of impressionable kids as fans. They don't know any better, their icon us being attacked!
I am glad I have never been this way. I drop people fast as fuck when they turn out to be assholes.

They like that culture: movies, rap, actors.
I believe a Norwegian guy can not sing along a NWA song.
kid with the glasses is so naive.
he was only sorry he got caught. not sorry for saying it.

Well, yes the very use of the word is offensive, no matter how many people want to be edgy by saying "my nigga."
Do people not understand the history of the word? It's not like the use of it is not controversial, even among our (African American) community. There are questions of self hate versus subversively taking the word back to drain it of its' power. It's not a simple thing.
And if you're using that word, and you're not black, you do not get benefit of the doubt. You aren't taking the word back or weakening it's power. You are taking advantage of its history and the pain that comes with it.
It's pretty damn simple in that regard. If you are white, and use the word, fuck you.

This reminds me of 3rd grade when somebody told on someone else for giving them the finger and then our teacher stood in front of the class and flipped all of us off telling us it's just a finger that doesn't mean anything.
I would've given anything to have the principal show up at that moment.
