Context to all Technoblade Controversy brought up recently
First and for most, I am not one of the minorities affected neither do I care to much about the drama, I just want to give context to people who don’t know what has happened in the past few months.
- Was Hitler A Lesbian Joke…
In 2017 when Techno was 17 years old, he tweeted in a sartistical manor “Was Hitler a lesbian?” referring to conspiracy theroies that former dictator of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler had woman traits whilst dating Eva Braun Hitler, the woman who he was dating at the time of the couple’s suicide in 1945.
He also had tweeted “titling my next video ‘mvp++ is worse then nazi germany’ would probably get me views but im skeptical it would get past youtube’s ad censors”. This tweet is really bad in it self and not a good joke but then again he was also 17 at the time of this being tweeted (December 22nd 2017) and I doubt he would’ve actually titled his MVP++ video this..
More context and further deep dive
- Covid/Wuhan joke…
On Feburary 5th 2020, Skeppy uploaded a video in which Skeppy, Techno and BadBoyHalo are talking in a call when Techno makes a joke basically saying how asians whilst interacting with someone could cough and say they were from Wuhan, China (the place of origin for Covid-19) and people being prejudice would back away and be scared of the fact that they could have the virus, which we knew very little of at the time. The Lockdown in the United States started about March 14th I believe which was when we actually knew about the virus more. I doubt Techno knew that connotations of the joke he was making would be offensive in 2 months time despite him saying how it could be interpreted as racist when he said it.

- Racist Jokes, Takes and Statements
There have been many instances of this, here are all the notable examples:
Techno at the age of 16 on Dec 9th 2015 tweeted “when I grow up I want to be a racist blind man”. It is good to note he was 16 and emphasized “when I grow up” in this tweet (more explanation cause I’m lazy
Techno also, at the age of 16 tweeted “hello yes staff I believe the anti cheat has racially profiled me please unban” referring to how Hypixel’s anti cheat is always against him and it might be due to racial profiling, obviously its a joke, he doesn’t think its actually racially profiling and didn’t but people speculate he is probably referring to his Minecraft character’s pig skin as racial identity.
Techno also tweeted in response to @SealPlays “@cseal wtf you were JUST talking about recruiting me into the KKK don’t deny it.” The KKK obviously referring to the terrorist organization which was running at the time. This was tweeted once again, in 2015 when he was 16 and these jokes were acceptable (further discussion and context)
Finally, Techno more recently on May 30th 2020 when the George Floyd protests were in full swing tweeted “murder is bad” and a link to a change.org petition. People at the time didn’t have a reaction to it until a group on twitter called it “him using black pain as his punchline”. Obviously this wasn’t the case. Techno usually says things very simplistic and this was no diffrent, one example being his most recent tweet involving ranboo. ( more context to george floyd joke)
That is about it, thank you for reading!
