Yes. It is offensive speech.
I won;t be bothered one way or the other.
Streams are 18+ so, some vulgarities are just fine. Nothing wrong with it, it emphasizes the emotions the player is feeling. That is OK.
What I am referring to is statements such, for example "that player is tr@#h", they are such "bots" and so on.... and worse.
If the recipient isn't there, it does not mean nothing has happened. And there are several witnesses every time that happens.
I'm not sure I've made this clear enough. It should not be a black and white situation for which a bad word would lead to an in game suspension. What i am referring to are well defined instances in which certain statements are made, and are clearly derogatory, hateful etc.
The fact that it happens on stream is irrelevant. What matters is that is happens in game. IF the streamer is playing Apex, and the streamer violates ToS, and there is a record....
That is what I would guess should happen.

Hate speech and other offensive behavior isn’t cool, and we won’t accept “But I was role-playing!” as an excuse. Harassment of other players will earn you a time-out."

Most likely something along the lines of the above.

It is. For what concern a streaming platform, it has it's own rules.
The game however fails to enforce ToS, when it does not addresses something that is clearly accessible through a streaming platform.
A person can be arrested based on evidence from a security camera, even if that camera does not belong to the business that has been victimized. So it should follow that a streamer can be suspended in game for violating ToS even if the person on the receiving side has not submitted a complaint, in virtue of the existing evidence produced by the stream, and the viewers.
Shouldn't it?
@BaldWraithSimp
I understand. You mean that the streamer making a remark is just talking to his audience and not directly to the team mate, or enemy. I disagree in the way you intend it as being limited to the game's only text of voice chat, as long as there are witnesses to it, even if that witness is a camera recording the fact.
