There's no way he was perm'd for cheating. Cheating isn't great but there's no way one should get deplatformed for it. Perhaps someone reported credible sexual harassment or assault claims directly to Twitch?
Ok boomer.
Video game streaming business is a fucking cesspool. There are some diamonds there but do you really want to dive in a shithole to find them?
I trust slasher. Twitch permabanning not just a partner but one of their big contracted streamers is huge. What the hell did he do if his past did'nt get him perma'd?
Oh yeah, I don't mean that. I just mean the guy loves to talk about it. It makes me think behind-the-scenes he does more than just talk about it. I don't know what his contract stipulates, but if he actively reached out to say Facebook Gaming or another service to see what they could offer him that might be a breach of contract.
Obviously everything is pure speculation, but Twitch banning him for comments/actions that took place years ago seems very unlike them. They let their biggest streamers get away with so much.
He did, but i think even he realized he fucked up, because the VOD was deleted that day. Either that or the PR team woke up.
I watched the end of his broadcast last night and he was telling people to open their eyes and listen to David Icke, whom from a quick Google search is a conspiracy theorist.
It's nice to see them finally apply the rules to a big streamer, but who knows if that will actually matter going forward. It's possible something happened that they couldn't ignore this time. Or they went after him on older violations which seems unlikely, but who knows.
Now I'm just curious what happens to him now. I imagine Facebook wouldn't hesitate to sign him. Ideally, he'd try his own thing and fade into irrelevance, but I don't see that happening.

He signed his new contract very recently. There is no way that this is to do with past indiscretions. It's something new.
Good that they're finally taking action but this is very demonstrably not true lol
I can't imagine someone at Twitch writing that with a straight face.
Oh fuck damn
He sounds awful. I only ever saw his speedrunning videos
A big streamers wife made an interesting tweet.
If he is perma'd, then good riddance
Good lord at some of these replies, the defense force really doesn't like Jason

Oh, Icke's not only a conspiracy theorist. He's a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist. He's been known to peddle theories about the English royal family being shapeshifting reptilian aliens (everyone knows they're vampires), served with some antisemitism on the side.
Sheesh, it must have been bad if Twitch gave the axe to one of their cash cows. Won't see me cry.
I call BS. It would be good if they would finally do this, but there are so many cases where twitch just lowered the ban
even if those people have been racist and sexist on stream
User Banned (3 Months): Inflammatory community attacks and history of the same; prior severe bans for dismissive behavior regarding bigotry
Extreme hate with no 2nd chances.
Lots of streamers/influencers have been getting exposed recently. I'm betting is something like with very concrete evidence.
Yeah, on the other hand if he did something so bad Twitch straight up perms him, I suppose MS would've done the same?
I was half-joking with the "something is up" comment but that seems to be accurate.
That tweet appears to imply legal consequences, albeit that person is not a journalist.
No.
Shannon has been around Twtich for loooong time, worked for them for a bit. She is very well connected in that world like Slasher.
Good fucking riddance. This guy has been a blight and horrible influence on far too many people including children. I pray he never shows his face online again. I could never believe how he made a career of being a trashy personality and people somehow thought it was ok because it was an "act". It was never an act, he was enabled by this excuse.
Hmm, I have no clue what has happened here. Sounds serious, though. One thing is for sure, you sure as hell don't get banned for cheating lol
