"You can't throw around the r-slur mate": TommyInnit slams Dream for using the r-word slur in recent meme

In a YouTube video uploaded on January 12, 2025, Thomas "TommyInnit" called out Clay "Dream" for using the r-word slur "re*arded," a pejorative term used to denigrate people with intellectual disabilities. Clay had gone viral over the weekend after sharing a meme where he seemingly insinuated that DSMP fans either grow up or become a "re*arded TommyInnit fan."

This was supposedly about the ongoing clash between TommyInnit, Mizkif, and xQc, the controversial meme got a lot of backlash, with Dream later deleting it. However, the incident kicked off an online feud between Dream and TommyInnit, who had a message for the American Minecraft creator.

Thomas claimed that the video was a message for Dream, as he had blocked the latter from everywhere else. The British Twitch streamer explained how his fans had been slighted, saying:

"Hello this video is a message to Dream. If you've been off the internet in the past couple days and haven't kept up, basically if you are one of my subscribers, Dream has called you a slur. So, deal with that how you want. Okay, now look, I have Dream blocked on everything and I intend to keep it that way."

He went on to criticize the usage of the r-word slur, stating that it should not be thrown around like in the meme:

"So Dream, hello mate, let's just dive right in, shall we? Let's talk about you calling all my fans the r-slur. You can't throw around the r-slur mate you just can't!"

TommyInnit claims Dream using the r-word slur amid their beef was "immature and reckless"

After sharing the controversial meme, Dream also went live on Twitch and went on a long rant criticizing various creators in the Minecraft community. Here's a short recap for those who missed the stream:

On the same day, TommyInnit responded with a YouTube video. While he did accuse Dream and his group of being sexist and harassing vulnerable people, Tommy first criticized him for the r-word usage. Thomas explained how he had worked with adults with disabilities since he was a kid:

"My mom worked with adults with disabilities and since I was 12 I volunteered with her. These are real f**king amazing people, who I think of like family, who actually get called this slur."

TommyInnit then stated that using the r-world slur was very immature and reckless:

"And you do not just throw it around. It's impossibly immature an d reckless and sets such a sh**ty precedent to everyone. Shame on you man!"

Readers should note that Dream has claimed that the people criticizing him for sharing the controversial meme are being disingenuous.
