Did Dream use the N-word? Minecraft YouTuber slammed for offensive racial slurs as 'Dream Is Over Party' trends

Some of his followers also began sharing screengrabs of his other previous tweets, which see him talking dismissively about mentally disabled persons and Native Americans

Dream, one of the biggest names in the Minecraft realm, had to offer an explanation to his followers on Twitter today, March 26, after #DreamIsOverParty began to trend. The YouTuber is in hot water for allegedly using the N-word during a 2017 Minecraft stream. He is accused of purportedly using the racial slur when he ran a different account under the name "DeltaNinja", much before he came to be known as "Dream". 

The trend gained momentum when the latest accusations against the Minecraft player had social media users dig into his past and discuss instances where he spoke about addressing mentally challenged people as "retards", made remarks about Native Americans that reportedly "offended" many of his followers.

Truth behind the racist allegations against Dream

While #DreamIsOverParty has many social media users claiming Dream allegedly used the N-word, there is no evidence to prove the same. The Twitch streamer himself took to Twitter a few minutes ago, to clear the air with regard to the latest allegations made against him. 

He wrote in his first tweet, "Just so people are aware, people are sharing a video of some random guy saying the n-word and saying it’s me, as well as a random account with a gross name history and saying it’s mine. Neither are me very clearly. People are disgusting."And, in the following tweet he wrote, "Just so it's here and not just on my private account; I didn't have the account name "DeltaNinja" ever (not me), I wasn't "Dream" until 2019, and the people who originally spread this obviously know it's fake and are trolling (#dreamisoverparty)"

While Dream brushed these off a tasteless attempt by trolls to get to him, some of his followers began sharing screengrabs of his previous tweets, which see him talking about mentally disabled persons and Native Americans. 

He had noted in one tweet from January 2020 that people without mental disabilities are more offended by the term "retard" than the ones with actual disabilities. When one of his followers commented under the tweet saying, "it's a slur. don't f****** say it. end of story", Dream responded, "Says who? The language police? You don't get to go around enforcing your own language rules on behalf of other people. It's a descriptive word and has been used to describe slow development for a long time. Just as offensive as "dumb" and "idiot", do you ever use those words?"

When Dream said 'I literally have native American in my blood' 

More and more social media users pointed out at yet another tweet by Dream through another handle "dream2", which consisted of a few remarks about Native Americans that appear to have ticked people off. 

One tweet read, "Native Americans don't "own" screaming while flicking your tongue around. Of course war is offensive, people die. Saying "give la resistance" is I'm sure offensive to french pople, plus, I literally have native American in my blood." And he wrote in another, "If you're offended, fuck off, literally could care less, It's not offensive, and don't be a baby. Get off my account if you want to critique people having fun in a block game."

'Fake dream has been racist, ableist and overall creepy before'

Although Dream stood his ground and denied the claims of him being racist, a significant number of them are determined to "cancel" him owing to his "offensive" statements from the past. One irked user wrote, "even if this new evidence is fake dream has been racist, ableist and overall creepy before and you have to stop denying this ever happened. #dreamisoverparty i hate these hashtags but whatever f*** this" Another wrote, "cant wait for dream to post “love you all  “ instead of an actual apology for the shit he’s done! /s #dreamisoverparty" One tweeted, "#dreamisoverparty Finally. A fucking good reason for him to go. He's such a damn liar and a bad person."

However, the majority of his fans continue to support him, by sharing the evidence of him apologizing for his past actions and calling out the fake account that claims he made racist remarks. 

One tweeted, "I'm still looking through all this but the "evidence" at first glance appears sketchy at best, and at worst, more suss than Toast playing Among Us. You REALLY need some better shit than this if you're gonna try and throw a #DreamIsOverParty." Another wrote, "It's hilarious to see #dreamisoverparty trending over a clip of someone saying the n word that isn't even him. The person in the clip was a part of the MC hacking community who also went by the alias Dream and sold the MCYT Dream the account." One tweeted, "the fact people actually believe that dream video is real blows my mind. there’s literally zero proof of it even being him it’s literally just a random video......y’all need help. #dreamisoverparty".
