This is getting ridiculous man. I’m black and your comment didn’t offend me at all. Why are people making you apologise? What’s going on? What is this world I’m living in? Can one not comment about anything anymore? Kmt

CrankGameplays Twitter drama explained

Ethan Mark Nestor-Darling, better known online as CrankGameplays, is an American video game comentator and vlogger.

At age 24, the YouTuber has over two million subscribers on his channel (Crankgameplays) and often uploads gaming content and more.

So, whats the deal with the drama? ?‍♀️

@CrankGameplays recently commented on a guy dressed as a white supremacist hate organisation, stating that the individual was ballsy for wearing such a costume.

Since the clip has now been deleted, Twitter users below have briefly explained the situation.

Basically, a clip surfaced of a guy dressed as a klan member for Halloween and Ethan said it was a ballsy costume. He meant it in a way that the costume was terrible and disrespectful, but he worded it incorrectly so it came across as insensitive instead

he said something about people wearing a kkk costume being ballsy and all the 14 year old white girls took offense on behalf of the black community (we weren’t even offended by it) so he felt the need to apologize and people were arguing in the comments of his apology.

After receiving major backlash and deleting the content, Ethan took to Twitter to apologise for his actions.

However, after then receiving hate responses not only towards POC, but also to the person he quote tweeted, Ethan then removed his apology.

hi. Took my apology down from last night due to it being a lightning rod of hate for not only people of color, but also the person I quote tweeted.

Hope this makes sense? I’m not trying to hide what happened, I just don’t want more people getting hurt.

Along with many others, @PotatoLuna responded to the apology expressing their annoyance towards the people who were offended by the comment.

Your joke was making fun of racists and the fact that ppl got offended on OUR behalf is annoying. Not every joke regarding race is offensive. We decide if it is. That yt savior complex a lot of these people have gotta go bc it's downright disrespectful. We can speak for ourselves

@KSI replied to Ethan’s now-deleted apology Tweet by explaining his views on the situation.

The content creator stated that as a black POC, Ethan’s comment did not offend him at all.

As KSI expressed his confusion as to why CrankGameplays was made to apologise, he also questioned the world he is living in.

This is getting ridiculous man. I’m black and your comment didn’t offend me at all. Why are people making you apologise? What’s going on? What is this world I’m living in? Can one not comment about anything anymore? Kmt

JJ has since shared a farewell Tweet, explaining that the platform is no longer an amazing place allowing connections and communication.

Instead, he stated that Twitter is full of the cancel culture.

Twitter used to be an amazing place where you could connect with people in different communities & communicate without any problems.

Now it’s just full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly.

And on that note, I’m out 👍🏿
