She explained what she had done, she accepted criticism, she apologized for her actions, she took responsibility, she explained what she had learned. She showed how she had implemented what she had learned. Explained why she was apologizing. Expressed the remorse over possibly teaching 'bad fish-ownership' advice, like. She was so genuinely upset about possibly mistreating a fish, not for being caught out, but genuine sadness for her pet fish. Best apology video.

I think the interesting thing is that this is probably the least messed up thing I have seen a youtuber apology for, which means two things for me 1. people are more willing to except this apology, because it was in the grand scheme of things not that bad. 2. The fact that she, had the least problematic behaviour and the best apology shows that if you are able to do a really shitty thing in GENERAL you are not going to be willing to accept criticism and genuinely apologize.

Hey! Really appreciate the video and giving a wide perspective on the story! I just felt some context fell by the wayside regarding the slurs chapter I’m not from an english speaking country, and words mean very different things. I never claimed that I get to decide if a slur is bad or not, (if that was directed at me) I did the opposite and listened when people brought it up to me. If a word is used against someone, it is bad. If it’s hard to relate to, I only ask that you try to think of how many slurs or offensive nuances you know in other languages or countries. - or while still learning a language as a teenager, which the subject at hand refers to. Edit: this comment is not intended to be defensive or harsh, I just felt some context fell by the wayside about this specific thing, which is understandable with such a large video. I appreciate everyone who covers this story and especially bring awareness to the most important topics in this story, like abuser strategies All the best!

[@easternflower6476]

As a disabled person, I don’t have any problems with people using a slur if they simply don’t know what it means/are learning a new language. Nobody knows everything, it’s ok to learn new things! I would hope that you would also correct and teach me if I ever said something offensive in Swedish and didn’t know it! All good, friend ✌️

[@TheAnneMine]

Completely understandable. It's also a very specific thing Blair was trying to use against you for over 2 years. As a non American, I get how media and such can affect what words people use while learning the language, without the context of how bad a word can be. Some times you don't really learn how much a word can affect people until years later.

[@OneTopic]

One of the difficulties in learning another language when doing textbook lessons is you don’t get a good grasp of how a person would commonly communicate with their friends or socially, and when trying to emulate whatever your perspective of the current culture is or the limited extent to the culture you’ve been exposed to while living on a different continent, you’re bound to make mistakes. It’s difficult to assess these things in retrospect but, having pretty nuanced conversations with Click about this myself, I’d at least like to state he did not have malice when he repeated words he’d heard in a movie, and he has made productive steps to be better informed on what is and is not acceptable language in regards to North American culture. Learning is always an ongoing process, with everyone, and I try to extend some understanding to someone who has not had the same exposure to conversations that some of us have.

[@kikibright83]

Did you not say, “I don’t use it in my content anymore?” As you aren’t a native English speaker, expressing it that way did come off like you do still use it in private. So I feel like either there is still a miscommunication between languages or you aren’t quite understanding why it’s not okay in any situation.

[@kikibright83]

I should have led with, I’m sorry you went through all this with Blair and she saw you as an easy target. I believe you and the people speaking out against her, though her words are enough for me to have significant doubts about her character. So with my previous reply I’m not coming from a place of anger.

[@Kameab1213]

To further clarify for the click. English is not his first language and when he used that word he had no idea that it was derogatory. He was told it was slang and that's about it. When he was finally told that it was derogatory, he stopped using it but Blaire won't tell us that part.

[@victoriaskully]

Agreed

[@lpronovost84]

She is a monster, a dangerous one.

[@Kris-wo4pj]

not even derogatory unless ya use to mean a person not something they did but the actual person. and yes i have to say it the "R" word at work cuz using any other word would be in correct so i never understood people's issue with it when used to mean a thing or action.

[@zombieedrea]

I don't know how true this is because it's from a random comment I read, but one fan said that english isn't even Click's second language, but his third. If that's true, then yeah, I completely understand him repeating a word that he understands is slang for "stupid." When you're learning a new language, you're going to learn proper words, yeah, but you'll also want to know the slang words commonly used so that you sound more casual in conversations. Acting like he was using it to be deliberately malicious is so weird and gross and backwards, and MASSIVELY hypocritical. Especially since he doesn't use it anymore and removed it from past content specifically because he *didn't* want anybody to be offended or feel targeted by the word! He did the right thing! But nah, according to Blaire he should be tarred and feathered and brought to the town's square. Gimme a break.

[@AmyoftheFlowerField]

Not to mention he was a teenager, learning english, mostly using minecraft servers to practice english. I've worked with English Language Learner students before. One time a group of students convinced an ELL student that "Bitch" was the honorific used before a teachers last name. So instead of "Miss Smith" this kid was saying "Bitch Smith", not even realizing it was offensive.

[@CJMGalaxy]

I feel so vindicated by Blair's fall... I had a horrible fan interaction with her on a livestream where I tried to add context to the subject she was covering (a cult my dad happened to be a part of), and she accused me of being a racist for saying there was more to their beliefs than just eugenics. I've avoided her content for years.

[@CJMGalaxy]

For the record, that cult is racist. They do believe in eugenics. It's a cult, they're bad - most of the reason my dad didn’t get too deeply involved was that he wasn't white or rich enough for them. But there is a lot more to it, including some really wild and interesting cosmic shit that makes Mormonism look chill, and the info I presented didn't match the narrative Blair presented.

I live by the "if people show you who they are, believe them" mantra, so I believed her.

[@daintybrighton]

Thank you for posting, I came to the comments for something like this. I can't remember specifics but I had to stop watching her because there were some things I knew she didn't have all the info for and was going on a rant as an "expert". Again, can't remember a ton but it just felt like she needed to be negative everything and it gave her tunnel vision or something. I want to hear different opinions and well reasoned arguments and I didn't trust her to give me that. I'm fine with people disagreeing with me, I guess it didn't feel like she disagreed in good faith.

​@Theo Zadow I'm so sorry your wife treated you like that and used your mental health status against you. You did not deserve that and you are not to blame. Even though it may be easy to blame yourself and feel like your foolish for staying as long as you did, please know you aren't. For one, abusers do whatever they can to keep their victims around for as long as possible. And for another, it may have taken you 12 years, but you won. You got out and you got away. Some people take decades to come out of the fog. Some never do. But you did and for that, you are strong. Stay strong and live your best life on your terms! Hugs from an internet stranger.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

One of the worst ways someone can act towards you is to blame you for behavior that is out of your control, as though there is no "real illness". I was diagnosed with manic depression in the early 90s, which is now called bi-polar personality disorder. I have periods of becoming extremely high strung, vindictive and nasty for short periods of time followed by days of general anxiety, lack of energy and experiencing regret, lethargy, and self-hatred while the victim of my behavior, usually someone close to me, is well aware that I am struggling against mental illness, days of living like, if I don't die tonight I will live for a thousand years - being able to get writing done and experiencing healthy relationships. Then there's the crash, where nothing can get me out of near-catatonic state for days on days, and the idea of DARVO, what I had been calling "role-reversal defensive attack" both blames you for your mental illness and denies that it exists, despite the cornucopia of medications, personal attempts at self-murder and a family history of death by self. Don't let those people make you doubt your sanity further, even if you have acted badly, which is a terrible cycle with uncontrollable and extreme mood destabilization because your behavior makes you feel guilty and thus deserving of being shamed, shunned and made to account for yet not be "believed" for being mentally ill. It's not fucking fun, hence the "illness".

it is not ethical for a therapist to see someone who is a friend of their patient so

[@kimberlybega8271]

So no, there is nothing in my professional code of ethics (American Counseling Association) against seeing a friend of a client as a client as well. You just can't go saying, "Oh, you know so-and-so? They come see me, too," and have to kind of play dumb if they ask if you know the other client. Sometimes you figure out down the line that two of your clients know each other. Therapists can even see two people in the same family, though some prefer not to. The issue is having good boundaries and making sure you are not sharing what one party said with the other without their *written* permission; it's harder to see a scenario where you as a professional would need to share information with a client's friend, though. Some therapy referrals come from friends and family of current or past clients. So yes, the issue is the HIPAA violation, not seeing two people who know each other. Edit: However as a therapist you are not allowed to provide therapy to *your own* friends and family. There is a whole section in the code of ethics against "dual relationships."

My husband took his life. He'd attempted before and had left me a letter... I got a text instead of a physical letter the day he actually passed away. I can't imagine ever showing those to anyone. Even before he died I never showed anyone the letter he sent me. I would not wish what happened to us on anyone. But unless you've actually lost someone this way, you'll never really understand how it feels to be left behind when someone you love chooses to end their life. There's grieving, so much sadness... but there's anger too. It was the worst time of my entire life, by far. I've lost loved ones but it was never their decision. After this you notice just how often suicide is joked about. How many movies, shows, comics and other media portray nooses or other "tools" used to end lives. Some disgusting people would use his issues against him including his ex-wife who then used his deepest insecurities against him in texts almost daily, which I still have copies of saved. Telling him his kids would be better off without him and how he ruins everything, etc. I already disliked her because she's so obviously a bad person but once I saw what she'd been saying to him after he was brave enough to tell her what happened after his first attempt when he was hospitalized.... Now I see her as a real monster, worse than any figment of imagination. Truly she has a decrepit hideous soul, if she has any at all. Suicidal ideation is not a gotcha to use against someone. If you're lucky enough to get warning, like a note for example, that's a goddamn blessing because it may mean you have time to intervene and help them. I did everything I could think of to help my husband but no mater how much I asked and literally begged, he wouldn't accept it. If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts PLEASE try to remember that depression lies to you. You ARE worthy of love. You DO deserve happiness. You ARE NOT beyond help, it is NOT too late to fix things and the only way anything will get better is if you are here to keep trying and fighting for them too TL;DR Suicide is serious Sharing someone's suicide note\letter publicly is absolutely abhorrent behavior. Privately to a Dr or their trusted loved one to try to help them is much different than a fucking jerk who tells everyone just to be a bastard. If you're having suicidal thoughts please talk to someone.

Great video. Just a bit clarification on the segment where Blair mocked my mental health. For starters, I wasn’t offended by the joke. But I can definitely understand why this can be seen as hypocrisy on her part. And I agree. Also, the post she was mocking wasn’t private. It was a public blog post on a website I didn’t even know existed anymore at the time. I had cancelled the webhosting for that site and assumed the site was no longer live. However, the site still existed in a “free hosting” state. Hence how they found it. Either way, great video, as always. 👍

​@@Dreamscape195 I know exactly how you feel! I saw Tipster's video about her that came out 2 years ago, and when I saw everything that happened during her time with Tommy, and how she deleted all of those videos without permission or notice to the group and left, it became clear to me that she was not the kind of person who would be honest and transparent about anything that happened in the future. Everything I saw in Tipster's video was enough for me to not want to subscribe to her and I haven't watched a single one of her videos for two years when I used to watch them constantly in my free time before all of this. I actually remember my friend suggested that we watch an iilluminaughtii video sometime earlier this year and I mentioned that there were issues with her, although I couldn't remember the details anymore. Something about her misrepresenting a DM and badmouthing a really sweet KZbinr, deleting videos that belonged to another creator without permission because she did terrible anti-sjw humor or whatever and it made her look bad. Then a month or so later I see people making videos about her and I just knew it caught up to her. I remember watching the Click's video when it came out, and now I'm just watching all of this and it's clear her behaviors have caught up to her. She spent a very long reaping and now she is sowing. There's no amount of money she can throw at this issue to make it go away because she practically incriminates herself every time she opens her mouth or goes to the hellscape bird app. I think honestly, this is all a net positive. The survivors of her abuse can finally speak up about what they experienced, and every time she responds she just shoots herself in the foot. Her web of abuse and deception is finally in plain view for everyone to see, because she was so confident that she'd never get caught and that she has enough money to keep everyone quiet. At some point money doesn't matter anymore. It will be a lot harder for her to get people to trust her, which is good, because it will be harder for her to find people to abuse. Maybe this break down of her career and community will force her to let go of some of the ego that must come with a platform of her size. I would hope that she can recognize that she needs to take time to herself to figure out what is going on that is causing her to feel the way she does. It's the only way she can move forward and hopefully learn how to handle her feelings in a way that doesn't hurt other people. I hope one day she can find peace and make amends to the survivors as well as she can, and forgive herself and let go of all of it. I hope that she can build herself a new life, a new community, and a new family, once she has made amends, learned from her abusive actions in the past, learned how to handle her emotions and feelings and relationships in a healthy way that does not endanger the health or wellbeing or happiness of those around her. Because at the end of the day we all deserve a chance to learn to be better, and we all deserve a chance to be happy. Unfortunately for Blair, she has a lot of work to do and she is the only one who knows whether or not she can do it. But we can all hope that eventually she will at least try. Sorry for the essay lol. TLDR: Tipster's video from 2 years ago made me unfollow her and watching all of this go down has deeply validated my decision!

@@jordanwardan7588 I appreciate your consideration, but I don't mind explaining it. I met her through two of my older friends at the time. They were both trying to get with her, but she wasn't interested in them. We became friends and, in that first year, I was basically her little brother. We'd joke, play videogames, argue, and talk like siblings would. It started off innocent enough. Then, just after my 14th birthday, things changed. I hit my growth spurt and was 6'1" two months after my birthday. I went to see her one day and we got to play fighting (again, nothing unusual). At one point I was in her face acting like I wanted to fight and she gave me a look that said "I want to kiss you," before walking away saying to herself "No. He's 14." I was kind of confused but, being a naive kid, thought nothing of it. About a month later I was at her house and she was braiding my hair. Then she started kissing my neck (an easy way to turn me on even to this day) and, before I knew it, we were having sex. I figured it was a one time thing until a week later when I went to see her and we were at it again. For the next six years we would have frequent sexy time. Like I said, I thought nothing of it for years until last year. Now that I fully understand what it was, I wish I could go back and stop it. But, alas, it happened and I can't change that. Thank you again for your consideration of my feelings about this. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but it was a revelation I needed.

I have a similar story where I was Groomed, SA, and R***ed by a much older person when I was a teenager. I didn't even realise what it was until I went to the police and reported the dude for harassing me when I began fearing for my life cos I felt uncomfortable and wanted to cut off contact. I'm in my late 30s now and still dealing with it, as it affected my ability to have intimate relationships. Hope you're coping - because, do you really fully heal from this kind of thing? But I hope your headspace is positive and you got a supportive circle around you.

[@alcoholic1638]

The fact that you never thought there was anything wrong with it until someone told you there was would suggest that you never thought there was anything wrong with it. Even now, you don't say why you think it was bad, you only say you used to think it was good. And if you only changed your mind at age 42 then that shows you would never have changed your mind if someone close to you hadn't influenced you. So, it's safe to say that in a vacuum, you don't see anything wrong with what happened.

[@neumorin]

Regarding the click, you have to keep in mind he is Swedish and was just learning English. Also culturally what we considered slurs *at the time* weren’t thought as offensive in his country as they were here. Edit: also he literally immediately stopped using that language as soon as he learned it was offensive and apologized.

[@Venelyne_R]

He sounded genuinely heartbroken when he said: " It was all Blair"

[@maximillian1109]

This. I am also Swedish, and since English is not our main language but we tend to speak it rather well due to exstencive education in the language, misses like this can happen. I would even dare say it is common for us to be a few years behind on what is okay and not, since far from everyone is online in English speaking forums 24/7. We pick up on words from media, but without the context of its deeper meaning or history. So it's a bit unfair to say that "Obvs the N-word is bad!" when we never even took part in colonizing Africa. We just don't have that history over here, so things like that are not obvious always without looking it up.

[@ESPHMacD]

I was going to add that too. It's, at the age he was, usually coming from a lack of exposure and knowledge not malice. Someone growing up on the other-side of the world learning English from content that includes those words used without the negative connotation associated with them wouldn't learn the reasons why we don't really use them in English anymore. And when he learned those reasons, he stopped. She doesn't get to call him out for using them in his past, while also having them in HER past, without acknowledging that.

[@Aki-gb8gm]

It's pretty tough as a non native english speaker if you learned english through the internet in the early 2010s... while I have never used any slurs, I have friends who used to say the R word and F word not realizing they are bad until someone told them about it. Ofc we should know slurs are bad but some people truly don't know better. If they continue to use them after being told they're bad, then they're a shitty person.

[@gacktist00]

yes!! Im Korean and we learn English from school, but they don't teach us internet slangs for slurs. most of people from outside of US or English using countries, it's really hard to understand the meanings behind the words. I also learned some of funny interesting expression on youtube, but few years later I knew that some of those words are not good to use.. (and I didn't know cos literally everybody used those words!!) sorry for my bad English.. Im drinking now 😂😂

For narcissism she has exhibited only one or two if you stretch it out with the abuse denial. But based on all we know, she doesn’t pretend she’s not able to hide her behaviors for long.

[@iciajay6891]

As a csa survivor, abusers will acuse there victims of crimes they have committed against there victims. it is also ironically grooming. Ppl don't seem to know that the grooming process is not just to potential victims. It is to everyone around potential victims. It allows them to build a bed of potential deniability. Why letting them keep pushing with there inappropriate behaviour. To see what they can get away with before ppl call them out. And to see who gives them a pass. Which helps narrow down who is an enabler. And thus they know is safe for them to be inappropriate around. It also let's them know that they can abuse around those ppl. The net is also a way they can say they were just 'joking!' And that's just there style of humour. To create a groundwork of there behaviour not being anything serious. And all those actions are grooming. They also tell on themselves with projection. Often those yelling the loudest about groomers, are ppl who use that tactic to abuse. They usually think it will help them hide. And it usually works. Unless someone is a survivor of the behaviour, or a loved one is a survivor. Then we recognise the behaviour for what i

From what I heard its difficult to sue online influencers for defamation. You have to prove that the slander and the harm caused was 100% intentional, which is near impossible sometimes. Off the top my head, yes we have evidence that proves Click's rumors are blown out of proportion, but do we have any evidence of Blair admitting it's all BS? Dose she have evidence that can prove her line of thinking? (Its flimsy, but yes) Basically as long as she can say "I genuinely belived Click was a p*** supporter," we cant prove that it was done with "mal intent."

I hope you all realize that Wonder's mental health crisis was entirely *engineered* by Blair. * Blair baited him out there with talks of his own place, then forced him to live with them for months. * Blair couldn't fairly charge him rent, since it was her who didn't follow through on the new place. And he was already out the costs and disruption of moving. But Blair went out of her way to guilt him for being a "freeloader". * Blair made him live in an unsanitary, toxic environment. Messy houses affect mental health negatively. * Despite calling him a freeloader, Blair gave him almost no work to do. It's hard to maintain self-esteem in an environment like that. * Blair continued to put more *unwanted* debt on him (a BMW? SRSLY?) in order to increase his obligation and her control. Same with how she took over Sad Milk management. Obligation and control. * Blair constantly manipulated him to pull him over to her side, and undermined his confidence in his own thoughts and feelings. * Blair used that control over him to attack her self-created enemies. People who were his friends, further damaging his psyche. * He had a computer issue while working on an assignment, so he extended the deadline, flew to pick up a computer, only to have Blair fire him on what seems like the same day. Blair didn't *want* him to succeed, as his failures increased her control. * When it became unbearable, he left her house with nothing but the car Blair forced on him - which he'd ended up living in. * When he was discussing arrangements for returning the car, Blair flew out to immediately and secretly repo it even though he was currently on time with his payments and still had time left for the next payment. All because she wouldn't show him the paperwork. * Blair stole all his belongings in the car rather than simply emptying it there, including his KZbin play button. That was his biggest achievement, and Blair threw it away just to hurt him. * At the end, he went back with *less* than he'd had, with significant wasted time and debt and nothing to show for it but all the mental baggage Blair had forced on him. * And she continued to attack and manipulate him from afar. When Wonder was at his lowest, thinking of how he had nothing and almost turned to s*****e, Blair lied about the details and sent the police over there, hoping they'd attack him for her. She deliberately misrepresented a dangerous situation for her benefit. I'm sure if he'd been a casualty, she'd have milked that for KZbin likes, too. Blair built a discord like a spider web, filled with sycophants. And she would pluck those strings to manipulate them constantly into attacking others by playing the part of a victim. That discord manipulation has traumatized hundreds of people, but the closest people got it the worst. And when her shameful behavior caught public attention, Blair dragged out the worst moments of his life - which she'd created - as an attempt to further profit of his suffering. The suffering Blair caused him. Blair's a filthy, disgusting person and Blair don't deserve any success: past, present or future. Everything she has is from stealing and ruining the lives of others. Blair is incapable of coexisting with anyone because she insists on being better even if it means she has to destroy them. She's also incapable of creating content that doesn't result from abusing people. Even now she runs a content farm, and I'm sure they work insane hours for terrible compensation. Blair is not mentally healthy enough to be in a position of power or influence because she can't help but abuse it. If there was an equivalent to King Midas that turned disintegrated everything it touched, that'd be her.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that had you been learning Swedish for a few years getting the majority of your conversational practice & vocabulary exposure from social interactions, online gaming & via KZbin content creators popular a decade ago, there'd be a fuckton of words you'd picked up which a native Swedish speaker might find offensive and or inappropriate.

[@tkps]

Bingo.

[@MutantRobot602]

That’s the only part of the video I didn’t like. I understand what The Click says when he says he doesn’t see it as a big deal, because culturally the R word is not seen the way it is in the US and the UK. I respect how people feel about it, I wouldn’t use it in English, but my social context as a non native English speaker is waaaaaay different. I’m a Spanish native, and we use the equivalent to that word the way French speakers use it as well, so sometimes we could make the mistake to do a very literal translation and use the “r” word to say someone is late and that would be very awkward. I also agree that if you’re told not to use the word you respect and you don’t do it, but we can’t all see and feel about things the same, because our social contexts are different.

[@Jays-Dream]

Same. its the only part of the video that made me go :/ hm. Because even tho I've been speaking english for years, as well as french, I'm pretty sure I've done the same thing too. As well as the very real fact that most people never feel the same connection to bad words that are not in their native language. It's the reason a lot of germans dont see "fuck you" as an actual insult but "fick dich" (the literal german translation) is used as one and understood as an insult as well. Same with british people using the c word in normal conversation among friends, while americans would find that offensive. The german translation lf the r word is used as both derogatory or non derogatory depending on context and tone of voice so I can completely understanding click not feeling like it's a huge deal since in some languages it's really not a big deal at all. Bjt to understand thag you'd need to either speak a second language fluently to make the connection, or have english as your second language to see where the click is coming from.

[@tmcbgrrl0074]

"a fuckton of words"= yes!

[@only1one1me]

I have a friend from Sweden who speaks very good English, and she came to the USA and said an offensive word, then was very surprised when everyone freaked out a bit. She said, "But Americans use it on tv all the time??" But still never said it again. So, basically like what happened with Click.

[@BCFBreakfastClubFan]

Your reference to company towns gave me a chill. My maternal grandfather was a WV coal miner, and lived with my grandmother and mom for a while in a company town. I actually have a couple of pieces of scrip that was left in his belongings when he passed. Unfortunately, I was too young to ever get to ask him about his time there nor was my mom old enough to really remember. One of those things I regret, now that she's gone, is that I never thought to ask her about it. Anyhow, you might be interested to know that the folk song "16 Tons" is about life as a coal miner, and the line "Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store". Refers directly to *_debt bondage_* , also known as *_debt slavery_* _Currently, debt bondage is the most common method of enslavement with an estimated 8.1 million people bonded to labour illegally as cited by the International Labour Organization in 2005_ (Wikipedia) Hard to believe the practice still exists, albeit not in the US.

[@kiku-goldenflower7731]

@Dubious Information NPD, ASPD, and BPD are cluster B personality disorders, which can overlap (which is likely in Blairs case from what I've observed). All three often result in unhealthy, controlling, manipulative relationships. As far as which one/s, if any, effect her, it's all speculation on our part anyway. What is worth stating is that even if this is the case and she is affected by one or more of these personality disorders, she still chooses to act in such a horrible manner. She could control herself and any antisocial tendencies she may have, just like you can choose not to eat something that's not healthy for you even though you want to. She could choose to get therapy to help her do this and follow through, and she could choose to acnologed that she's done wrong, give a genuine apology, and change. She chooses not to.

Or she was always like that but was never given the opportunity to be the mean girl because she was bullied and the moment she had a community of people around her that in her eyes, looked up to her or saw her as an equal she immediately abused that trust and started mistreating her friends to cope with how miserable and pathetic she is.

His comment should be acknowledged by SWOOP.

[@gods.dontcry]

I completely agree! I felt bad that she kinda knocked on the click for that. We have to view slurs through a cultural lense. For example, in America it is looked down on to use the n word if you aren’t black but there are many countries where it is completely socially acceptable because they don’t have the same historical context that the US has. I think we also have to acknowledge that English is not the Clicks first language! And he’s apologized and taken action to completely remove any stories he’s read on his channel that contained slurs.

[@chaoticdusk1316]

Yeah same, the way she put her reaction to it kinda made it feel to me like she was condemning him for the fact that he didn't entirely see an issue with personally. The guy is Swedish, he's not going to have the same views towards certain words as Americans and native English speakers. What matters is whether or not he use's it where he has actively made the decision to not use it because he understands that using it can hurt others even if it doesn't carry the same weight with him and in his country and as it does in the US. It just kinda hurts to here the complete disregard for that especially for someone who is seemingly so through in her research, it's like she's completely forgetting the fact that he's got a very different experience with various things.
