He was definitely back for about 2-3 days. I see that he's gone now though.
Yeah, that's a solid point.
Someone coming off streaming for 24 hours straight is probably going to have even worse judgement about what terrible shit they keep private as well.
Well, I don't think they can necessarily avoid the problem - it is intended to let anyone stream, after all - but they could probably stand to more directly intercede when popular (I guess I don't know if this guy counts?) streamers do shit and be far harsher about what behavior gets you what bans.
Though my ire is much much more aimed towards YouTube when it comes to the sheer irresponsibility of video/streaming platforms.

Terrible people are terrible and I guess it's only a matter of time that they're caught on stream.
...Deep sigh Youtube video... (Just over 10 min long)
...Lay low for a couple months...
...Epic 'I'M BACK GUYS!!!' stream!
When you're a piece of shit and spend a ton of your life on camera the camera's eventually gonna catch you being a piece of shit.
The fact that he already claims to come back with another account means they have grounds to go the extra mile and permanently ban him across several services. I do think that because there is live video of the altercation (albeit the hit being offscreen) the authorities should be involved.
I wonder if people who always associate behavior like this have never left their house their whole life. Being gamers has nothing to do with people being shit. There are awful abusive folks all around the world and most of them likely never played a single game.
Yep. People who also associate anything negative or immediately label streamers (or TV actors, celebrities, etc) the same way seem to neglect that this has always existed and well before streaming became a thing. Now there are new types of windows into seeing it go down.
Yep, there is a lot wrong with humanity across various cultures. Whether you're a gamer, sports fan, merch collector, poor or rich - doesnt matter. Awful people exist across the entire spectrum of human existence.
I'm definitely going to hell because I kinda expected the "shot counter" in the upper left corner to go to 23 after the first slap.
I hope this ban will be permanent, another domestic abuse controversy so soon after previous one should hopefully get twitch to reconsider.

You have to be a real piece of shit to hit the person you are supposed to love. I would never in a million years put my hands on my wife. How can you do that?
Given how common domestic violence is, I'm surprised it hasn't come up in streams well before these 2 most recent incidents.
And millions more we don't see and that will never face consequences. At least these morons are stupid enough to broadcast their crimes
I always wonder if people who know these people find out. Like if I was her brother or father and I found out about this dude laying a hand on my family member there would be problems. At what point is the toxicity in this relationship worth being this shitty of a human being. I'm glad this guy and that last guy are getting blacklisted because there's no excuse for this crap.
I wish everyone that was abusive would stream while they are abusing. Would make things a whole hell of a lot easier to fix.
User Banned (3 Days): Inappropriate commentary/joke; account still in junior phase
Odd... the shot counter didn't go up
Man, hearing that woman cry made me really sad. Uncalled for and someone needs to put that punk in his place.
because gamers are trash and shit like this just furthers that.
Fucking scumbag. Domestic violence is unfortunately common enough that it was bound to show up on livestreams eventually. People who try to defend this peice of shit are also scumbags.
That's really fucked up. That was a loud slap.
On another note, this guy is desperate as hell
Instantly wanting to associate with this person who would assault his SO. Literally the bottom feeder
What is it with viewers who think that streamers will ever actually care about them personally?
Getting viewers to believe that to be the case is the number one trick of the most successful YouTubers.
But like seriously, who falls for this trick? Especially if the streamer has over a couple hundred viewers, what are the chances they care about you that much? Are these people really that lonely?
I feel like there are a lot of socially awkward people that fall for this. Remember the person that stalked Meg Turney?
A lot of streamers build up the "community" aspect of it. Which isn't bad. But you have a lot of people who watch it that really feel like these people are their friends.
In the discord someone is saying "I'm only an hour away from you, let's to to the bar sometime." Pathetic individual.
I mean... they allowed the platform to stay as toxic as it is chatwise... It was always going to fester and become an attractive platform for scumbags if you allow that shit to exist long enough. Now its a well known site and everyone knows about it, and the shitheads know their trash behaviour is typically accepted there.
Just wait until this shit finally hits a tipping point and advertisers start walking sideways away from Twitch. You think the YT Adpocolypse was bad....
This shit will keep occurring for as long as the platform owner keeps regulating jackshit, other than what female streamers are allowed to wear and in what other platforms their partners are allowed to stream on, of course.
