They’ve fired Claude for a racist comment the other day, I like Claude but sometimes this channel makes us Arsenal fans look bad and toxic.

Yes i watched it but then again i think its the aftermath which was not well handled, robbie and claude tried to play it down without apologizeing while forgetting that internet has become  a world in which a criminal  can abuse somebody who stole a candy on twitter
this situation made me think about fans of some congolese artists who complain about criticism around their idol,they should check twitter and see how for every little thing around the world 10K or much more people allow themselves to voice their opinion,even simple youtubers
i think the format robbie has adopted to make people still feel some sort of fan interaction in the watchalongs with troopz and co,gave a platform for every thing to be intentionally or unintentionally too much exposed,for example who could imagine ty ever got angry in his life, some of them are overreacting compared to how they would have reacted in the stadium and its caught on tv,it has is good and bad sides proof is when arsenal lost fans of other teams would fill the comment section to mock troopz losing his shxt,dt throwing tantrum as usual and so on
overall i think it is taken in a way too big proportion like many things nowadays,and since people enjoy demise of people  for every mistake you make you'll face mad social media storm,when in reality many of those behind their smartphones or computers or tablets are muchhhhhh worse
i genuinely think claude is not racist but had in the heat of frustration a badly timed lapsus but as storm had to happen anyway like it daily happens every day  and every hour on twitter especially he made it worse with the non apology video were he tried to explained he meant something else,while all people expect with those instant reaction thing was that he even banned  from arsenal stadium
i have seen some start petitions for that

Yeah Claude and Robbie should’ve just apologised straight away, considering this cancel culture we’re in right now where everyone takes things too seriously. What I meant by making us Arsenal fans looking bad and toxic it’s because a lot of AFTV really divides the fan base where there’s been a few fights between AFTV and other arsenal fans because they think the channel makes every arsenal fan look bad. I personally wouldn’t of fired Claude but just given him a suspension. I’m gonna miss seeing him and Ty argue.

exactly hopefully they'll take a step back,i am all for  punishing or criticizing all whats wrong  but this "robotization" of people who earn a name on social media worries me,they have to be perfect all the time and some among themselves are obsessed with stats,there is less and less room for pure and raw humanhood with his good sides and its mistakes
Other than that i also believe the judgement people have on AFTV is alot due to its success too,the day another channel will reach their dimension,it will also be often subject to controversial opinion from people,i am certain if we were winning doubles the same people calling the guys toxic would be the same saying "look at them they are jumping like the won the world cup while they just won a fa cup and have no championship title for 20 years by then lol"

So? Black people get called the N word everyday and no one says anything. Son is a grown man I don't think being called DVD will harm him or his career
