wow definitely don't watch Reckful's streams, I decided to start watching something and him & others were immediately using trans slurs for jokes

@vahnj oh whew it's just toxic gamer culture, I thought for a moment there would be a cringe-inducing card I'd have to live with.

@vahnj yeah he's bad, this article about him getting banned from commentating on official streams is from two years ago and suggests it wasn't new behavior

@vahnj I don't do much of the streaming/tournament stuff, but I just remember his name coming up in The Angry Chicken podcast, where they told a story about last year him being a commentator, mispronouncing people's names after continually being corrected, all kinds of other things, and they had to yank him in the middle of casting.
