Please, tarik, get this guy off your stream
Exalt does this all the time, here he is doing it during VCT stream with tarik... Exalt got the whole squad laughing...
vlr users, ask yourself this: is it ok to mock the accent of another culture or ethnicity? the same answer applies here.
+1
this is bigotry disguised as humor
exclusionary exercise of power by Exalt, likely repeating the same structures of oppression imposed on Latinx individuals like himself, an expression of colonial violence manifest in the Othering of another, the phantasmatic exercise of power that in fact reiterates the very power under which he has been repressed
what context do you want? does someone need context for someone saying the hard R or someone calling australians redneck prisoners? context is he uses this accent all of the time as a 'joke' that approximately 0 people laugh at in tarik's games or the games/streams of other professionals viewed by tens of thousands
ultimately, all such phobia comes from a place of fear, a fear of that which is unknown, that which disturbs the signifying systems in which they relied to maintain some semblance of structure in a world of overwhelming complexity and chaos. we cannot buy into the system of hate by being upset at them, see them with pity. they are, in many cases, mentally disturbed--the incells, that is
you're actually the only person who's mad about this he's mocking a woman's accent, I know woman who mock men accent. you are overreacting so hard and a literal pussy if you're getting so defensive over something so minor, grow the fuck up, its a joke I hate people who turn something minor into something to blow it out of proportion.
You guys are too chronically online. People out there are saying Trans women shouldn't exist on elon's twitter freely but Exalt just mimicing a girly accent is where he should be cancelled. And like how was it even offensive, it didn't even make me think of trans people let alone perceiving they are being mocked by him.
to expand upon my argument:
some people take the relative competitiveness of gc vs challengers/vct as a sign that this group CANNOT ever compete, rather than taking the more nuanced and complicated view of understanding that gc is an effort to develop a marginalized community that has had additional hurdles to overcome in the competitive space and community writ large. the same applies to india. to say india will NEVER be as good as the other regions does not stem from reason or logic, but bigotry. b0tsi
