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.

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

    I agree but won't this get closed?

    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.
