Popular Twitch streamer ‘JOEYKAOTYK’ was left furious after chasing after a ‘cowardly’ bystander who called him a slur during his Paris IRL livestream.
With 129k followers on Twitch, JOEYKAOTYK has amassed a strong fanbase thanks to his entertaining adventures through his IRL streams.
However, there have been some distressing moments caught during Joey’s broadcasts. In August 2021, for instance, he confronted a racist passer-by who mocked him for his Asian ethnicity.
Sadly, an all-too-similar situation happened again for Joey as he was walking through the streets of Paris when a bystander used a slur against him as they passed him. Yet, he made sure to call them out.

As the bystander ignored his calls, Joey chased after them, shouting: “Oh, you scared, huh? That’s what I thought. Next time you say that to an Asian guy make sure you f**king remember this moment, bro. That’s right. You make people look bad in France, dumb f**k.”

Viewers were just as appalled by the moment after it appeared on Reddit with many calling the bystander’s behavior “disgusting” and “pathetic.”
