JiDion hits back after Twitch ban for Pokimane harassment Twitch: Jidion \/ Twitter: PokimaneYouTuber JiDion has spoke out after his ban from Twitch under the harassment rules, following a hate raid of Pokimane, which ultimately caused his suspension. On January 12, Pokimane shut off her stream early, after her chat became flooded with messages simply spamming \u201cL + Ratio.\u201d The chat spammers then claimed that this was a directed hate raid from JiDion, who had sent his viewers to Pokimane\u2019s channel \u2013 however she appeared unaware of who he was, asking, \u201cwho is JiDion? Sent people to my stream to spam\u2026 That\u2019s embarrassing, if you get banned I\u2019m not gonna be sad.\u201d JiDion is a popular YouTuber with over 3 million subscribers, who only recently began to stream on Twitch regularly, becoming a partner on January 11 \u2013 he was then banned two days later. The ban will last two weeks, and JiDion said he would \u201ctake this L cause what I did really was [against] TOS lol.\u201d JiDion had also made comments about Pokimane\u2019s viewers, claiming that she had a boyfriend and that \u201cshe is not going to f**k you.\u201d He also changed his profile picture on Twitter to an image of Pokimane without makeup. Twitch\u2019s community guidelines protect streamers from targeted harassment, including harassment that takes place off Twitch. Specifically what JiDion did is described as prohibited in the guidelines: Inciting viewers to target another person with abuse, regardless of whether the targets are on or off-Twitch – Organizing or participating in hostile raiding – Directly opening a user\u2019s channel on stream and directing personal attacks towards them – JiDion responds to Twitch ban Following the ban for harassment, JiDion posted on Twitter that his \u201chate for Pokimane\u201d has nothing to do with gender. I\u2019m not like these other YouTubers imma defend myself when someone lies on me!!! My dislike for her has nothing to do with her gender but her as a person, don\u2019t get the two confused!!!! \u2014 WiDion (@Jidion6) January 14, 2022 He continued, \u201cRespect all women boys,\u201d and \u201cyou have the right to stand up for yourself cause at the end of the day we\u2019re all equal. A number of streamers have come out in support of Pokimane, including Ludwig, Mizkif, and Myth. \u201cSad how Pokimane still has to deal with misogyny and harassment in 2022,\u201d Mizkif said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s even more sad how I have to say this publicly because people are afraid to stand up and say she\u2019s being treated poorly because they\u2019ll be called a \u201csimp\u201d.\u201d Ludwig also highlighted that the net outcome for JiDion will be positive, as his \u201ccomeback stream\u201d will likely attract a lot of viewers. JiDion is expected to return to streaming on Twitch in two weeks. In the meantime, viewers will be looking out for a YouTube video from him on the situation too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
