Dota pro Mason goes off into a racist rant after losing to Kalazard

After losing his game against popular Brazilian Dota player "Kalazard", the Twitch streamer seemed very disappointed. Exclaiming his frustration at the result of the game, he said:

"...don't wanna do anything. We literally don't wanna press any buttons on any heroes. I don't know what to do actually."

However, his dejection turned into rage as he began bad-mouthing Kalazard. Utilizing de-humanizing language, the streamer called his opponent a monkey. Calling a person a "monkey" has historically been used in a racist context as a derogatory slang.

Mason mockingly attributed Kalazard's victory to his "low IQ". He struggled to remain calm as he began lashing out.

"Kalazard is such a low IQ, stupid, f****** monkey. He just wins these games cause like, he's okay. He knows, he's aware he's low IQ. He's a low IQ f****** animal."

In one instance, as if a switch flipped, the streamer was filled with rage. He continued on his rant, accusing his opponent of not understanding Dota, and calling his win a fluke. However, while he expressed these emotions, he also called Kalazard very derogatory terms.

"He's literally just some stupid f****** ape. He's literally just some stupid f****** monkey! And he kept playing these games because he's so f****** s******! He's like so f****** s****** and he doesn't understand Dota at any level!"

His rage reached its peak as the Dota pro hysterically mimicked an ape. Imitating the action of scratching, Mason persisted with his angry jabs at Kalazard, calling him a monkey and telling him to act like one.

"He's a s****** f****** ape, f****** r***rd! S****** f****** ape! Ape! Ape! Ape! Ape! F****** monkey, gonna scratch your f****** armpit or what?!"

Having had his fill, the pro ended his rant. A few moments of silence passed as the streamer collected his thoughts. Returning to his earlier state of calm and with a tone of resignation, he decided to leave his stream to get some yogurt and cool off.

"Dude, I don't know, these h**** are unplayable... Okay, yeah, I need some yogurt."
