"Sh*t is so annoying bro"- IShowSpeed ends stream after receiving racially abusive TTS message

YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" was forced to turn off his live stream yesterday after being racially abused through a Text-To-Speech (TTS) message sent by a toxic fan. This is not the first time that the 17-year-old streamer has faced such treatment from his viewers.

It is no secret that many fans tune in to his stream to see his rageful reactions. Toxic viewers often try to provoke a reaction out of Speed by spamming slurs in the TTS or chat box.

In his latest stream, the Ohio-born YouTuber was the victim of yet another racially motivated attack online. He was visibly vexed at the sight of the message, which prompted him to end the stream. Following the abuse, Speed took to his Twitter account to express his discontent. He posted:

IShowSpeed falls victim to racially abusive fans online

As stated earlier, this is not the first time that the streamer has gone through racially abusive messages. In almost every stream, there are multiple messages calling him the "N-word" or "Monkey." This is usually done to provoke a reaction from the streamer.

However, on this occasion, it appeared that IShowSpeed had enough before ending the stream abruptly. In the clip, it can be seen that a toxic user named "Speed is a cotton picker" super chatted $5 attached to racially abusive TTS. The message started off with a pleasant note before quickly turning into an offensive one.

Seeing the acrimonious nature of the TTS, IShowSpeed ended the stream after stating:

"Yeah, I'm not doing that sh*t"

He then went on to his socials to express his annoyance towards people repeatedly being toxic towards him for no apparent reason. It should be noted that IShowSpeed does appoint several mods who monitor messages. However, the sheer amount of toxicity has been overwhelming ever since the 17-year-old became popular.
