Every streamer knows that the right entertainment is crucial for your own viewer numbers. It’s long gone from pure gaming to v-logging viewers on vacation, writing names for subs on chalkboards, and even voting on pet names. the latter has YouTube -Streamers Ludwig Ahgren and allowed his live chat to choose his new kitten’s name. What began innocently ended in disaster.
When the chat chooses the pet name…
Naming a new pet isn’t always easy. It is all the easier when others do the work and decide. YouTube streamer Ludwig tried that and instructed his chat to choose a name for his comparatively cute kitten. The streamer made an absolute beginner’s mistake, because his viewers naturally chose a name that negatively charged is.
In his May 16 stream, chat participants could suggest multiple names. A series of inappropriate names quickly dominated the list of names. Ludwig chose all the proposed names and let a game of marbles decide. He saw this as an impartial way of making a decision. The marble that won the race at the end had the name “Cracker” forgive.
A cat with a racist name?
At first glance, the name “cracker” cannot really be associated with anything negative. But the word has long since acquired a new meaning on the Internet and was not chosen arbitrarily by the participants in his chat.
“Cracker” has on Twitter sparked a controversy some time ago after the Streamer Hasanabi was suspended from the platform because he white people referred to as “crackers”. had. An alarming number of people give on Reddit even apparently feeling deeply offended by the word.
Some even go so far as to claim that “crackers” are a racist term which is to be equated with insults against people of color. Streamers actually get banned on Twitch if they say the word.
A frustrating stream
Ludwig was faced with a dilemma because his girlfriend would have had the name QTCinderella, streaming on Twitch, a problem. At his request, the streamer spoke a word of power and rejected the new name of the cat. But not because it’s problematic, but because “it’s a stupid name”. Ludwig ended the stream, after several unsuccessful attempts to reverse course and choose a different name. The poor cat remains unnamed according to previous reports.
