- I made a bunch of reuploads of a series of highlights that (badly) edits a split name that I used during a period of time over the course of a year or so. Since then I have realized that even if the use of the word in context isn't necessarily derogatory as it was crossed out to make a joke about bad censorship, just having the word up on screen for long periods of time can give mixed signals about my actual feelings on usage of the word and/or the group of people it's referring to. (If you want to know my feelings btw I feel people really shouldn't be referring to homosexuals using said terminology nor use the term in general. Slurs aren't cool man)
- You might think I'm putting a ridiculous amount of effort doing something when I could honestly just delete the vods in question instead. I personally would like to keep my past streams and speedrun achievements archived as best as possible, but at the same time I don't want that language to represent who I currently am as a person nor the values I believe in because it could be seen as the joke a homophobe would make, regardless of the actual intention of said joke. Because honestly in retrospect the joke was teetering on the borderline of overly offensive anyways.
- People might end up hating me for my decision to censor or just making the joke in the first place. Hell, it might not have actually offended anyone at all and that's fine. In my mind though it was a giant elephant in my conscience that I just wanted to feel free from. I apologize to anyone, IF anyone, who was actually offended by said joke.
