Joshua Block (@WorldOfShirts) Spits on Juggalo; Sarah Russi and Violent J respond

We all know Juggalos are often misunderstood by mainstream culture, but one thing is clear within our community: racism/bullying has no place under the Hatchetman banner. Many Juggalos openly reject symbols of hate, like the Confederate flag, making it clear that the subculture stands for unity and acceptance. This stance isn’t just performative — Juggalos have a long history of calling out and confronting bigotry at gatherings and online spaces, ensuring that everyone feels welcome regardless of background.
Controversial streamer Joshua Block was invited to the 25th anniversary of the Gathering of the Juggalos with an "All Access Pass" to the event. Violent J even welcomed the streamer to be part of the iconic Faygo Armageddon. Sarah Russi also helped Josh sport clown paint. But things had already turned for the worse, prior to the Faygo Armageddon, when Josh decided to spit on the peaceful Juggalo known by many as Mystic. Mystic was simply minding their own business chatting it up with another person. As Joshua Block was streaming and joking about BBC (not the British Broadcast Company) and randomly turned and spit directly on Mystic. This was clearly no accident. Mystic tried confronting Josh Block, but the streamer ran off.
For the most part, Mystic kept it real and didn't escalate anything further during the rest of the Gathering. Some people are trying to defend Josh as being high-functioning autistic. But being high-functioning usually means people on this end of the autism spectrum can speak, read, write, and handle basic life skills such as working a 9 to 5 and, driving, or even getting married and raising children. Celebrities such as Tim Burton and Dan Akroyd have publicly stated they're on the spectrum. Even Albert Einstein is suspected to be on the spectrum.
This isn't a level 3 autism spectrum situation where you typically can't take care of yourself/can't verbally speak. With that being said, being on the spectrum does not excuse dropping racial slurs and spitting on people directly. I'm personally on the mild side of the spectrum and live a normal life. Violent J and Sarah Russi have since responded to the wack incident. But Josh Block hasn't apologized at all. And Mystic deserves a great big apology!

On top of that, this isn't the first bit of controversy that Joshua Block has been involved in. There's a despicable video showing him dropping N bomb after N bomb. You can see it for yourself here:

Shortly after all of this surfaced, Violent J responded to a post via IG:
Finally, Sarah Russi addressed the situation with the statement below.
