"You're using it in an anti-gay way" - xQc addresses community after Adin Ross' friends called him homophobic F-slur live on stream

xQc, during his currently ongoing April 23, 2024, Kick stream, spoke at length about what took place in the recent stream with Adin Ross. For those out of the loop, Adin Ross’s friends Cuffem and ShnaggyHose used transphobic and homophobic language to refer to Felix "xQc," which led to him leaving the stream.

During the April 23 stream, xQc spoke about this, giving his thoughts on using words like the F-word, and the N-word. He brought up people using the F-word “as a joke,” which many on the internet do, claiming they aren’t using it maliciously. After highlighting a moment from his past, the content creator used it as an example, stating that using the F-word in that case would be malicious:

During the recent Adin Ross stream, Cuffem and ShnaggyHose used a variety of slurs, aimed at xQc. Their defense was that Felix called SchnaggyHose “fat and broke,” which justified using a variety of slurs, according to Adin Ross, who said they’d obviously “hold their ground.”

In the recent xQc clip, the Canadian streamer compared using the F-word, to the N-word. In many cases, content creators, streamers, and online gamers claim that using the F-word isn’t homophobic, it’s just a joke. This is what the streamer’s response was:

For context on the N-Word being brought up, there was another clip from this stream, where xQc claimed that the N-Word and F-Word both have “the same equivalency.” He brought up that people claim it’s fine to use these words when it’s not aimed at that particular person, such as a gay or black person.

When these words are aimed at someone who is in those demographics, that it’s malicious. According to Felix, they are both the worst word you can use to describe one of those people, in a malicious manner.
