— hamsterwatch #bb25 (@hamsterwatch) August 9, 2023As anticipated, many enthusiasts (including us, after all) and former Big Brother gamers took to social media and called for Luke's speedy removing from the sport.
"Luke slipped up! That is a part of his daily vocabulary and vernacular!! Big Brother needs to remove someone that is so casually using slurs," one fan said on X, previously referred to as Twitter. "He said 'My bad,' because he slipped, and he knows it's wrong, but he chooses to use it depending on who he's around!"
Another fan commented on the scenario, writing, "Luke should've been immediately called into the diary room and held there until they removed him from the game. There should be no question of whether Big Brother tolerates hate speech or not but they continue to fail where action should be taken."
as a black viewer it’s just ridiculous how this display continues to only no longer truly have corrective motion on these circumstances. we simply had two black winners back to back and glance where we're? tragic.
— frankness (@tinytreestumps) August 9, 2023"Production should remove Luke. Set an example. Show current and future players that language like that will not be tolerated," Andy Herren, who received Big Brother 15, tweeted, later claiming that the show also loves to hide "racism, and homophobia, and transphobia when straight white men are involved. ... The way it so casually came out of his mouth is really upsetting."
Season 21 houseguest Kat Dunn also weighed in:"Big Brother needs to expel Luke, it's just how it is."
"At this point, keeping him in the house would be a slap in the face to every person who has stood up for or tried to change the racist allegations that the show has experienced in the past," she added. "We've come too far for some random dude to come in and ruin it week one."
