I always thought roach was a derogatory term for Turkish people, but it is a very fine line for the word cockroach, as it really sits on the border of racist, whilst 'technically' not completely racist in nature. (Obviously depending on the context.)

Use of cockroach in a possibly racist and demeaning manner: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4786586
Use of roach in a manner but proven to be non racist: https://uproxx.com/music/cardi-b-roaches-tweets-clap-back/

several instances was directed towards a player named Peppers, Towards me playing as Medic, Icebro playing as Spy, and many instances of players just playing Engineer.

Dr Mad also mainly uses "voice chat" to complain alot more than he does on "text chat" to voice more of his hatred.

We don't really punish for the word "faggot" unless it is clear the individual is hating on homosexual individuals.
People do throw that word around a lot as a general insult.

Discussed it with jerma and i'm gonna mute him for racism.
But please do try to get a demo next time, if he is that vocal about his racist/homophobic remarks it shouldn't be an issue.
