“Fillian was part of our community. Uh, said a bunch of very, very racist things on the stream. Uh, we called him and asked, ‘Why did you do that? on Discord. Because we already had a bad perception of them because they brought someone racist on DJ Night who was going around and calling people F-words and N-words. And we told them that it wasn’t cool, and we told them they should be very careful with racist stuff. And then they made a very racist joke live.”

He also mentioned that instead of apologizing to black people in the community who confronted her about the offensive jokes, Fillian chose to leave the Discord group:

“A black couple in our community and other people in the community said to them, ‘Hey, that’s not cool what you did. And instead of apologizing or talking to people they offended with the racist jokes, they just left Discord and took no responsibility for anything.”
