French Twitch star Terracid under fire for pretending to shoot himself on stream Instagram: TerracidFrench Twitch streamer \u2018Terracid\u2019 shocked viewers after pretending to shoot himself with what appears to be a BB gun during a live broadcast. Terracid is a French Twitch streamer who boasts over 812,000 followers on the platform, along with 1.6 million Twitter followers. The broadcaster was in the middle of a Fall Guys tournament on September 29 when he began speaking to his chat and pulled out what appeared to be a gun, holding it under his chin as though pretending to shoot himself. Some viewers speculated that the gun was a BB or airsoft gun, as Terracid says in the clip, \u201cJ\u2019vais tirer une bille,\u201d which translates to, \u201cI\u2019m going to shoot a ball,\u201d a word also used to denote \u2018BBs.\u2019 Terracid then put away the object and continued on with his live stream \u2014 but the incident shocked some viewers, who are demanding action from Twitch. Terracid responds after stream garners scrutiny \u201cWtf isn\u2019t this against twitch TOS?\u201d one user asked, tagging the platform in a tweet. Terracid later replied to the post, which, in a translation from Google, claims he was \u201cdreaming where I\u2019m being raided by the community of a rival Twitch streamer who\u2019s trying to get me banned.\u201d \u201cToo bad English gentlemen, if you speak French I say explicitly at the same time, \u2018I\u2019m going to shoot myself in the chin,’\u201d the translated response continues. je r\u00eave o\u00f9 j\u2019me fait raid par la commu d\u2019un streamer du twitch rivals qui essaye de me faire ban AHAHAHAH dommage messieurs les anglais si vous parliez fran\u00e7ais je dis explicitement au m\u00eame moment \u201cje vais me tirer une bille dans le menton\u201d \ud83d\ude0e \u2014 Terracid (@terracid) September 29, 2022 At the time of writing, Terracid\u2019s Twitch channel has not been suspended; but the platform does have strict and clear guidelines about mentions of self-harm on stream. According to Twitch\u2019s Community Guidelines, \u201cActivity that may endanger your life, lead to your physical harm, or encourage others to engage in physically harmful behavior is prohibited.\u201d The guidelines also state that Twitch does \u201cnot make exceptions for self-destructive behavior performed as a stunt or gag made in jest, or meant to entertain, when the behavior could reasonably be expected to cause physical injury.\u201d This is not the first time something of this nature has taken place on Twitch, either. In 2019, the official Battlestate Games Twitch account was suspended after a member of Escape from Tarkov\u2019s development team imitated an act of self-harm during a live broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
