Twitch, in its never-ending quest to create a more inclusive community by making streamers fear for their livelihoods, recently banned streamer Viperous for seven days for "using hateful s💃lurs." According to Viperous, the ban was for using the word "nerd," something she says she does on the channel all the time.
While Viperous was playing a shooter🌄 game, she allegedly said "what is this nerd doing?" after she was killed by someone crouching in🔯 the corner. The moment was captured by one of her Twitter followers, who originally thought that she had said a different n-word. However, he played the clip back in slow-motion and realized that she had said "nerd."
According to Viperous, her subscribers who were watching the 🤪stream have been refunded.
This is far from the only contentious ban that Twitch has handed out recently. Some examples include when streamer Dellor was banned for "self-harm" after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:breaking a keyboard over his head and Quqco andCinCinBear were banned for "suggestive clothing" after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wearing a Chun Li costume and168澳洲幸运5开奖网: workout clothes, respectively.
Twitch hasn't been very popular with fans recently, mostly because of its haphazard approach to banning its streamers for strange and unpredictable reasons. This year, big-name streamers Shroud, Ninja and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:KingGothalion have all jumped ship for competing platform Mixer, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokimane and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:TimTheTatman have also hinted that they might move. Meanwhile, CouRageJD has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:moved over to YouTube steaming.
Whether the streamers juꦦmping ship will have any major effect on Twitch's streaming stranglehold remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: there's no shortage of people who are fed up with the streaming powerhouse, and Twitch may want to find a new approach to its moderation policies.
