Kicking Tru3 from the Fog Whisperers is disgusting
I almost have no words for this. After praising Behaviour for enouraging diversity and inclusion in this game, you guys just did a complete 180 by kicking Tru3ta1ent over the accusations of him making fun of the disabled.
Disclaimer: I am severely disabled. I suffer from two severe mental disorders. Both of them have great negative impact on my cognitive functions. People bullied me because of it, i also was discriminated against a lot.
I am offended by this action, not because i like Tru3 ( i watched him from time to time, but have not for over a year now) i tuned in again because of the discussions happening about him.He is not even close to beeing my favourite streamer. I saw the clip, in which he mocked someone, by doing a silly voice. I am offended by this, because it suggests that speaking in a strange manner automatically should be associated with disability or "brain damage"(words of another content creator). I am offended by this, because it is already hard to get people to understand, that ableism is a problem. There is an extreme resistance against people trying to make discrimination visible. People are already tired of hearing about racism , sexism and antisemitism. All these things have to be talked about and they all are a HUGE HUGE HUGE problem in our society. Canceling people over this leads to nothing but deafening the ears of those who are struggling to grasp the full gravity of discrimination.
It is hard to make people take ableism as a serious and real thing. Behaviour you just made it worse. I am in schock and completely dissapointed.

As someone with ASD, I agree.
All of this got blown WAY out of proportion.

I agree whole heartedly. I tried to make a post about the situation, but it was taken down unfortunately. This whole thing has been handled so poorly and I am concerned about the Fog Whisperer program and how BHVR handles the standards set. Punishing one but not holding everyone in the community to the same standard? Who can we talk to that can help us? This was very mishandled and not a good precedent was made.

They'll probably realize that the whole thing was a misunderstanding after it was summarized.

Agreed was it nessciary no but did they need to do that because he got raided by a witch hunt?

Doing this has also tainted the Light in the Fog event. Not only did it help get Tru kicked from the event but that's alot of money it will now lose out on to help Puppers. 😔
I said this on other post about Tru: I'm hoping if that is cause for being kicked from fog whisperer program that BHVR does a sweep removing/barring others from the program that have said/done similar or worse because there's quite a few content creators that get attention from BHVR that are either in the program or gunning for it. Right now the program itself isn't looking like something that promotes positivity in the community.

We're not going to have this discussion on our platform as I've already explained. We have naming & shaming rules here, and these are quickly broken on these types of threads.
