Twitch streamer BonnieRabbit controversy

Overview

Twitch streamer BonnieRabbit has faced consecutive controversies regarding the use of racial slurs during live broadcasts.

In August, a dispute arose during a livestream hosted by Cinna when Bonnie sang along to Drake’s “Marvins Room.” Viewers debated whether she used a racial slur or the phrase “new guy.” Bonnie defended herself, stating, “I said, ‘new guy.’ That’s what they say in the censored version.” While supporters noted that clean renditions often use that substitution, other creators like PlaqueBoyMax disputed her explanation.

In September, a separate incident occurred during a ‘Just Chatting’ stream where Bonnie appeared to use a racial slur while reading a viewer’s comment aloud. Bonnie expressed distress and issued an apology, maintaining that the incident was a mistake and that she does not use the word casually. The event drew criticism from fellow creators, including Lacy, who expressed skepticism, and Wardrobe, who noted he did not find the situation funny.
