On Thursday morning, Zimmerman posted on his reddit again, this time with an apology for his actions. 'Surely they'll probably hang around here so they can screengrab juicy bits for their dire need of content.' As Zimmerman received more hate for his use of the slur, he decided to spend some time away from reddit and social media. 'The bloggers and shitlords are no stranger to this subreddit I see,' he commented on reddit. The comment and the clip started to gain traction on online media sites, which further upset Zimmerman. 'I don't have the capacity to deal with this kind of shit.' He seemed upset over the fact that Twitch would ban him over what he felt was 'intended to insult a fuckin asshat.' 'I'm not going to stand for Twitch's double standard when it comes to censoring and suspending me for harmless shit,' Zimmerman said in a now-deleted comment. While in a heated game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Zimmerman encountered a player that was firing on his position and said 'Is that some fucking cock-sucking stream sniper f**?' Twitch quickly suspended his account, causing Zimmerman to post his opinions on the ban on reddit. Joel Thomas 'DeadMau5' Zimmerman, the international DJ who was wearing helmets before Marshmello was even created, was banned on the live streaming platform Twitch after shouting a homophobic slur.
