@SteveCampsOut the fact is you have to get on a game right to stream even if they was not streaming they would of said it under their breathe but instead they said it on a livestream while playing on that game both platforms should take actions that’s what Im saying.

Freedom in a free society is supposed to be for all. Therefore, freedom rules out imposing on the freedom of others. You are free to walk down the street, but not to keep others from doing so.

The imposition on the freedom of others can come in overt, immediate physical form — thugs coming to attack with weapons. Violence may be a kind of expression, but it certainly is not “free speech.”

Like violence, hate speech can also be a physical imposition on the freedom of others. That is because language has a psychological effect imposed physically — on the neural system, with long-term crippling effects.

Here is the reason:

All thought is carried out by neural circuitry — it does not float in air. Language neurally activates thought. Language can thus change brains, both for the better and the worse. Hate speech changes the brains of those hated for the worse, creating toxic stress, fear and distrust — all physical, all in one’s neural circuitry active every day. This internal harm can be even more severe than an attack with a fist. It imposes on the freedom to think and therefore act free of fear, threats, and distrust. It imposes on one’s ability to think and act like a fully free citizen for a long time.

That’s why hate speech imposes on the freedom of those targeted by the hate. Since being free in a free society requires not imposing on the freedom of others, hate speech does not fall under the category of free speech.

Hate speech can also change the brains of those with mild prejudice, moving it towards hate and threatening action. When hate is physically in your brain, then you think hate and feel hate, you are moved to act to carry out what you physically, in your neural system, think and feel.

That is why hate speech in not “mere” speech. And since it imposes on the freedom of others, it is not an instance of freedom.

The long–term, often crippling physical effects of hate speech on the neural systems of those hated does not have status in law, since our neural systems do not have status in our legal system — at least not yet. This is a gap between the law and the truth.

In this case, try reporting it to Twitch as this is more under their jurisdiction.

Agreed @Rohamad_Ali and that is why getting it stopped ASAP is key.

....by using the correct channel. Sadly this thread is not going to do that. And the majority of responses are trying to explain that NOT downplay anything. And now people using it for a sensational discussion for their own means.

ZOS have even responded to the OP on the best way to sort this and that's the key point of the thread. Well, was

Some guy is streaming right now on playstation 4 that whole group is saying nothing but racist words on the livestream like what are you guys doing start sneaking on people streams and hearing what they are saying I am truly disappointed in this code of conduct this game has.

Does ZOS's TOS allow ZOS to ban those people for doing that?

It's very easy for people that have never personally experienced racial violence and racism to down play its effects on other humans . They have never been beat up or called a degrading name in front of a crowd of people or ever felt the embarrassment and shame over something they have absolutely no control over . Racism is very painful for some people . People sometimes try to dress or act different so people don't stereo type them and in some places just try to hide and not be noticed . It effects many differently but there is nothing productive that comes of it for the person judged and ridiculed . Attacking someone's identity can be more painful then just getting into a regular fight and getting beat up because it goes on and on in their head . If doing that to someone makes a person feel good then I do not want to ever be around them . Compassion and uplifting people are what makes a difficult world worth living in . There is enough violence out there that we do not need to relive it here where some go to escape .
