Umir, a football writer and content creator, expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction with KSI and the Sidemen team over the incident. Umir was a long-time fan of KSI but found it strange for him to use a certain word in the latest Sidemen video, even though it was bleeped and meant as a joke. Umir felt that other racial slurs would not be used in YouTube game shows as punchlines, and that this trivializes the use of the word and people's experiences.
Been a KSI fan for the longest but so weird for him to say 'paki' in the latest Sidemen vid even if they bleeped it & it was 'in jest' for contentOther racial slurs wouldn't be used as punchlines for YouTube gameshows. Just makes light of the word + certain people's experience.

Umir also noted that the fact that the Sidemen team did not edit it out suggests they were okay with it, which minimizes the issue's significance. Umir believes that racial abuse towards Asians is taken less seriously most of the time. Following the backlash, KSI posted an apology on Twitter, and Umir announced their plans to take a break from social media for a while.
