Popular YouTuber KSI is facing backlash from Twitter users after using transphobic slurs during a stream.
The British YouTuber is no stranger to controversy, constantly involved in fights on the internet and it looks like he's got himself in hot water once again. What got him into greater trouble was using an offensive slur in his apology as well. KSI has since deleted the first apology tweet.

The deleted tweet said:
“My bad for saying tranny and other transgender slurs. Honestly didn’t even know they were slurs. I know now though. Mans educating himself haha.”
KSI did not realize that he had put a slur in his apology. After being told about it, he deleted the tweet and reuploaded it but many users continued to point it out to him.
While some were angry with KSI, it seems like his tweet ratio shows how many were willing to forgive him. A lot of users didn't find his content offensive and wanted him to just move on.
KSI has not made any additional comments on the issue.

KSI is in hot water because many think his jokes are offensive to begin with
KSI had to deal with this same controversy a month ago when Fundy and he made some inappropriate jokes while playing Jackbox. Fundy made two jokes that seemed to get everyone’s attention:
“I’m slaying these verses you don’t need a litter. Want a lasting relationship? Make sure not to hit her.”
“What you never want to hear after the words: ‘Don’t worry… The drugs will make her forget.”
KSI made a dark joke about children’s toy which got attention on its own:
“This year’s LEAST popular kids’ toy is: ‘The Child Molestor’.”
A lot of people confronted KSI and Fundy about their jokes, but the heat on KSI seemed to leave quicker than the one he is currently in. The best strategy for KSI is to remain out of the spotlight and wait for things to settle down because it has worked for him in the past.
