Wow that’s unbelievable. As in I literally don’t believe it. So I tested it by posting various sentences containing these words and other known slurs to compare, and found it didn’t work.
Maybe this is some American thing I’m not Free enough to experience in my corner of the world, or it doesn’t do this on android or the browser site. (The tech crunch screenshot looks like something else, probably iOS)
It hard to say because no one is even a little bit curious enough to test it. Idk how this thread contains anything else but people testing it, because it’s so damn unbelievable. Why is no one testing this themselves? Why are you not testing it yourself?
Also there’s a watermark advertising an anti-groper telegram group on the footage.
Honestly, anyone who thinks it wasn’t hacked is just an idiot or doing it for political reasons. The latter are also idiots because this doesn’t even hurt his fanbase, they are fully aware it’s a hack, and are now blaming the Jews for it. It’s a complete win for them because they now convince themselves they are victims of Jewish aggression.
The more I think about how unconvincing it is the worse I feel about the situation and the hacker. They could have done a lot more with a hacked stream key than this.
I point it out because I dislike seeing the side I identify with using the tactics of the side I don’t identify with.
If the left wants to use misinformation and lies they are little better than Nazis spreading blood libel.
Additionally this strategy is incredibly dumb in his particular instance. When you misinform you are gambling that people viewing the claim won’t attempt to look at the evidence. In this case the evidence is a single clip that is an obvious example of a hack. Many people are likely to investigate it. Many people on the fence will think you are liars, all Nick’s supporters will reinforce their belief that the other side are liars, and many of your supporters will think you are liars.
The only way this could happen is if he has hotkeys setup to switch between video sources, and I guess to restart the stream. I don’t think OBS (the most used streaming software) set these hotkeys up by default so we can’t really guess what they might be. It is also likely that Nick uses some kind of 3rd party stream control hardware to manage these shortcuts, but if that is the case it would make it even less likely that this happened by accident because when using a device like that you usually set up long shortcuts like ctrl-shift-alt-F9, etc.
SO if Nick has set these shortcuts to be the same as the at least two of the following:
alt-tab to his browser/media player,
ctrl-tab to cycle through browser tabs,
Space to resume playback,
Ctrl-shift-p to open a private browser, or
Left click / right click for a bunch of stuff
then it’s possible that Nick managed to restart the stream, begin playback, and after several seconds switch the video source.
It’s pretty damn unlikely. The sound, maybe, that could continue without additional input from the user as it captures all desktop audio by default. But starting the stream again and switching video source? Nah I doubt it.
It does look like it was hacked, but I don’t have any experience with how a duplicate stream source plays out in a situation like this. Just that I can’t easily imagine how misclicks or a bad setup would result in this particular series of events in something like OBS.
The twitter and kiwifarms threads are predictably useless (also this one, c’mon guys, use your brains, we’re supposed to be better than reddit). According to the groypers Nick was outed as gay some time ago, but he prefers femboys over this kind of stuff. I’m not a Fuentes lore expert but I feel like I’ve heard this before so maybe it’s true.
Kinda funny to see the right eating itself alive in the kiwifarms thread with neonazis screaming crazy antigay bigotry on one side, and groyper neonazis coping hard on the other.
But what I really want to know is how the stream key was stolen. I hope whoever did it comes forward soon. I feel like the groypers aren’t going to be fazed by this and will just build themselves up with more conspiracy. It would be better imo to just slam Nick for his trash op-sec.
While I’ll agree the internet has been overrun by shortform shit, calling internet memes uncreative is such a boomer-ass take. This guy is just nostalgia baiting for points.

When I was an edgy emo teenager and all my edgy emo teenage friends and I were getting tongue piercings my older brother looked at me and said “is that for your boyfriend?”
That wasn’t the reason that I ended up getting rid of that piercing (tongue piercings are annoying as fuck) but it definitely didn’t help my desire to keep it.
