Line 83: Throughout his life, Davis believed that he was under constant persecution from federal agents, particularly those from the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] (CIA).<ref name="CIA"/> He was controversial for his regular use of offensive slurs,<ref name="newsstack" /> including racist and homophobic epithets,<ref name="VICE" /> and sometimes rebuked his critics as "CIA [[niggers]]".<ref name="VICE" /> In one widely circulated YouTube video, he claimed that "the CIA niggers glow in the dark; you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over." The term "[[wikt:glowie|glowie]]", which is based on the aforementioned phrase, is commonly used by online groups to denote an undercover federal agent or informant.<ref name="Khazan 2021">{{cite web | last=Khazan | first=Olga | title=The Far Right's Fear of 'Glowies' | website=[[The Atlantic]] | date=25 January 2021 | url=https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/what-glowies-mean-online-spies/617717/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230101034232/https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/what-glowies-mean-online-spies/617717/ | archive-date=1 January 2023 | url-status=live | access-date=3 June 2023}}</ref> Such outbursts, along with the operating system's "amateurish" presentation, ultimately caused TempleOS to become a frequent object of derision.<ref name="derision">{{cite web |last1=Holwerda |first1=Thom |title=A constructive look at TempleOS |url=https://www.osnews.com/story/28617/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/ |website=[[OSNews]] |accessdate=January 24, 2019 |date=June 9, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190125130826/https://www.osnews.com/story/28617/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/ |archive-date=January 25, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> Davis explained that his use of the word "nigger" was a reaction to being subject to [[psychological warfare]] tactics from media agencies such as the [[BBC]]. He addressed concerns about his language on his website: {{quote|Jesus used a racist slur, calling Canaanites "dogs" in [[Exorcism of the Syrophoenician woman's daughter|Matthew 15:21–28]] [...] I asked God about racism? He said, "sports". [...] White people indirectly call each other "nigger" all the time. After the BBC kept indirectly calling me a nigger I said, "Fine! I ain't a pussy! I'll use the real word on my enemies". [...] when I fight Satan, I use the sharpest knives I can find. I ain't shedding no tears cause you don't like "nigger".
