Myth, xQc & more defend Symfuhny after 'slip up' with racial slur on stream - Dexerto
Fortnite pro and Twitch streamer Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier was caught in a wave of controversy after he was accused of using a racial slur while streaming Warzone
On his stream, Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani made it a priority to come to Symfuhny’s
defense. “This sounds bad. I can admit it, you can admit it, we can admit it. But I have to tell you guys that Sym did not say the n-word. Even though we heard it, he didn’t say it.
“Sym has the weird behavior and patterns of a 12-year-old child. The kid’s awkward, scrawny, weak, bad at FPS games, and on top of that he doesn’t know how to speak proper English.
“I talked to Sym and he genuinely mumbled up a bunch of words and it came out like that.”

Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyell empathized with Symfuhny’s experience. “To me it feels like something I do really often, [which] is have an idea of what I am going to say and have a different idea and change a word in the middle, and it reroutes like that,” he said. “I feel like that could happen.
“I had a clip like that a long time ago, and everyone was mad at me because they thought I said it.”
Hasan also backed Symfuhny, claiming he would not expect the streamer to have said a racial slur. “If this is something he casually says and he is dropping it here, then it’s fukked up, he said. “No question.
"But with all my experiences with Sym, and I don’t know him that well, he is a very nice kid. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who casually drops the n-word.
