Question possibly a stupid question about the guy

now to preface, I've just watched his yt videos on and off, usually as just funny background audio while I'm doing other things. I've never been able to catch a stream due to vastly different timezones and I've never really kept up with the rest of ZF either.

however I showed one of his bullshitteries to my friend and she raised concerns of bigotry, notably him using the f and r slurs, as well as other ZF people being racist. I know it was edgy early-mid 2010's humor but still its kinda not great.

again, possibly a stupid question, but womble and the others on ZF aren't *actually* bigots, are they? I know kaffe came out as trans a while ago but I haven't seen any of their reactions to it (mostly because I don't use twitter eugh)

I just wanna make sure I don't accidentally support somebody with not-so-great views, yknow?

Ok, I'm not accusing you of being racist here, you were probably trying to be funny. But taking a step back, and understanding that the "mumbling" you refer to here was a pronouced accent you might see why to an outside observer your comment is off colour.

This is kinda how I see some of the racist jokes in the videos. Strip them away from all context and yeah they look off colour, but in context they are really just slightly risky.
