In the message, 39daph explained that she was ignorant of the meanings of the words she used, and thought that they weren’t offensive a the time.
“I thought wrongly it was fine to poke fun at because I believed white people were privileged and do not face systemic racism, and the discrimination from these slurs was just a bad jab,” she said.

Daph also mentioned that the initial chat log that was spread around the community was edited to make it look like she was directly calling somebody a slur.
“A few things I’d like to address in the logs, the timestamps appear rearranged and cut out of context to look like I was calling someone a slur, but I was not,” she said.
“I was answering someone’s question “what is the c-word”, and enumerating slurs from this screenshot of made-up slurs I thought sounded ridiculous.”
Ending the message, she apologized for the comments made during that time and that she “will not be using that kind of language.”
