Twitch Investigating Streamer with Tourettes

Twitch streamer Sweet_Anita has come under fire for using then “N Word” during a stream last week.

This may appear to be cause for an instant ban however Anita is effected by Tourettes syndrome. When several streamers on the platform called for her to be banned the outrage was instant.

Streamer Lilchipmunk later deleted the tweet and told Twitter to “suck her d**k”. Many were quick to defend Anita all over the internet.

Anita also responded on both twitch and twitter.

HUGE thanks everyone who has been patiently explaining tourette's syndrome to folks who have been confused or outraged by my n word controversy on twitter/reddit. The more people who understand the safer life becomes with people with tourette's. https://t.co/so1ngJlI2d
