Hey, I am a midmaster protoss planning to start a stream with first person commentary, by request of my protoss teammates.

I want to incorporate some joking and offensive humor and I basically want to know... how low can I go?

Is there a risk I will be sued or something if I make racist jokes or something of the sort?

As far as I know, no. No one has to watch your stream if they don't want to. I think as long as you write a warning somewhere that your material may be offensive, you should be fine. (just don't expect many other viewers =p )

Be yourself instead of seeking how low you can go.
If you want to be low and cheap with your humor, then do it as long as it is natural and not just a poor attempt to draw in viewers like reality television.

Novelty isn't a lifetime effect. Offensive behavior is punishable:
post, upload, or distribute any Lifecaster Content or other content that is unlawful or that a reasonable person could deem to be objectionable, offensive, indecent, pornographic, invasive of another's privacy, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, distressing, vulgar, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or otherwise inappropriate;

That kind of stuff is written in the TOS etc on each site, so just look for your preferred streaming site and read the rules.

Let's be real about this. The worst than can happen is you get banned. You continue creating accounts and continue being 'racist' or whatever the offenders claim you to be, you may face legal action. But let's be honest, I doubt your that stupid and the worst you will face is a ban from the streaming website.

Happy streaming.

I just wouldn't be racist. Hard jokes are fine, but don't just flat out call out races and stuff. Just keep that in mind.

Happy Streamin.

Stop trying to be the next destiny and just be yourself instead of putting on an act.

Haha, ^this.

Don't set a limit on how racist you can be, Sheth-ify your stream. Be mannered, and if you are going to joke, be cool about it.

Next Destiny? Yeah I thought I might get such a comment. This isn't exactly me trying to go famous, just making a stream and keeping the viewership entertained when searching for ladder games etc.

Mainly focusing on commentating to my games ofc. And me having racist jokes isnt exactly new... been doing them forever. Just wanted to know if they're allowed on stream that's all.

Also thanks for the tips so far!

They're allowed, it's just not entertaining unless you're a sailor.
Nobody watches a stream purely or for the most part for the jokes/dirty talk.
