Jinnytty confirms Twitch ban after The Last of Us 2 comments yyj0728, Instagram \/ Naughty Dog[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Popular influencer and variety streamer \u2018Jinnytty\u2019 has confirmed that she has been banned from Twitch for two weeks, admitting that the suspension came as a result of her comments about a character from The Last of Us 2. Update, July 25: Jinny has now been unbanned, with her suspension lasting only eight hours. She posted a public statement to apologize for the incident. The Last of Us Part 2 has been a divisive release among fans of the franchise, with many critics taking issue with key elements and characters in the title\u2019s story. One character in particular has seen ample discourse \u2014 Abby, a muscular, female character who received backlash from critics who claimed her body was too unrealistically \u201cfit\u201d for the game\u2019s post-apocalyptic world. Jinny\u2019s ban from Twitch, which was made public via the StreamerBans Twitter account on July 24, is surprisingly tied into the conversation surrounding Abby, as she admitted in her private Discord channel shortly thereafter. Screenshots taken by Dexerto from the channel show multiple messages from Jinny, with one reading, \u201cI just got two weeks ban for calling Abby \u2018transgender\u2019 during The Last of Us 2. So called, \u2018Hateful comment.\u2019\u201d \u201cWell, time to appeal,\u201d she continued. \u201cAaaaand banned.\u201d A recovered clip of the incident has since been released, which shows that Jinny did, indeed, make the comment while playing as Abby during a portion of the game. (Warning! Clip may contain spoilers.) \u201cI wanna see Ellie and Joel, like seriously,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t wanna look at this transgender anymore. Please.\u201d \u201c\u2026what do you mean, \u2018Woah, Jinny!\u2019\u201d she continued, in apparent reply to the backlash she may have received from her chat over the matter. \u201cYou guys call me transgender. \u2026Oh my God, you know? I have no patience.\u201d While many of Jinny\u2019s fans have argued that a two-week suspension seems a bit lengthy, plenty have expressed concern over her comment, with some claiming that she\u2019s made similar remarks in the past. \u201cI enjoy Jinny\u2019s content a lot, but I\u2019ve seen her do a lot of trans jokes but were super iffy,\u201d one fan wrote. \u201cI give her the benefit of a doubt that she doesn\u2019t really get what she\u2019s doing, since a lot of her humor comes from Twitch chat, but she needs to realize what she\u2019s saying.\u201d Jinny has yet to make a public statement regarding the incident via her social media accounts, outside of confirming the ban via her Discord channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
