| — Daniel, on TikTok Live | ||
The self defense word, in the context of Daniel Larson, represents the N-word and Daniels belief of it being okay to say as long as it is in "self defense," whatever that means to him.
Daniel is mildly racist, it being displayed mostly through his use of the n-word, almost always with a hard-r. Daniel has said this word multiple times in multiple contexts, either out of anger, after being tricked by trolls who donate to him and name themselves "Nick Gur", or him pointing out the "Nick Gur" trolls by saying the whole word.
He even goes as far as to make very weak excuses to why he uses that word. When a user told him that it is not okay to use the slur, Daniel's response was; “True unless it’s because you are really scared for your safety.” Despite this, this statement does not make sense as Daniel has also used the slur in situations where nobody is around and when he describes the way people act. Daniel believes that the N word has "self defense" properties because when he says it the assailant may become confused as to why he said it. This confusion could serve to reduce the immediate tension between Daniel & the assailant. This has led to the community deeming it as his "tactical word".
Daniel and the actual N-Word
Directed uses
He has used the n-word against one of his case managers, more specifically Andrew, as well as a man whose property he was trespassing on during the porch incident. He has even used the word on his caretaker Bob (very repeatedly) as well as Warren, one of his managers.
He has also used the n-word against two bike cops who told him to leave a store he was trespassing on during the March 30th incident.
He used the n-word on Columbia Records twice during his minor meltdown on August 27th, 2023.
He even used the n-word on a fake Grace in one deleted video and on the title of his since deleted live meltdown.
Another notable use of the racial slur was during the November 10th incident , in which he directed the slur usage towards a black employee at the Panera Bread he was disrupting, who was clearly shocked and surprised with what he heard.
His most recent use of the slur was in a video he made on April 6th 2024, when he made a video against Bob. Not only did he use the word, but he also made several terrorist threats that he would bomb and kill him.
He will use the word to anyone, regardless of their race, most likely because he thinks it will get him out of whatever trouble he put himself in, or hurt his opposition, when sometimes it does the opposite. Needless to say, it is clear that Daniel does not really understand why people should not use the n-word the way he does.
The Compilation
On May 13, 2023, a video was released to Twitter that shows a compilation of Daniel saying “Nick Gur” or variations of the N word. The word is said at least 12 times within the video, and it’s factually impossible the video contains all the times Daniel has said the word. The video can be found on twitter here.
