JustaMinx hit with second Twitch ban over \u201cderogatory slur\u201d YouTube: JustaMinxPopular Twitch star JustaMinx has been suspended from the Amazon-owned streaming platform for a \u201cderogatory slur,\u201d after she jokingly used the word \u201ccracker\u201d several times on-stream. JustaMinx, 25, has been temporarily banned from Twitch for the second time in as many years. Her surprise site suspension is reportedly due to her use of the word \u201ccracker,\u201d a term Twitch has previously ruled to be a \u201cderogatory slur,\u201d in a past broadcast. The Irish streaming star leaves behind 1.9 million followers now without access to her channel and VODs. She has been banned for seven days and will be free to host livestreams again on February 14. Following confirmation of her suspension from the platform, JustaMinx took to Twitter: \u201cWell shiver me timbers, I\u2019m banned for a derogatory slur.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time JustaMinx has found herself on the wrong end of a Twitch ban for her on-stream comments either. The star\u2019s first suspension, which came way back in December 2020, was due to her use of the words \u201cvirgin, simp, and incel\u201d. These words had been added to Twitch\u2019s Terms of Service as \u201chateful slurs\u201d that same month, and led to her receiving her first channel strike. JustaMinx enjoyed an explosion of popularity in 2021, climbing to a mammoth 1.9 million-strong following on the famous Amazon-owned streaming site. Twitch has yet to confirm if JustaMinx\u2019s suspension is due to her use of the \u201ccracker\u201d or if it was another statement that put her in hot water. If it is, however, the Irish star\u2019s ban brings to the fore a controversy from late 2021; whether the term carries anti-white sentiments. Top streamer Hasan Piker was previously suspended for using the word while discussing its connotations, sparking a platform-wide debate on its usage. The Amazon-owned platform\u2019s stance on the word is addressed in its Terms of Service. \u201cHateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes or encourages discrimination or harassment based on\u2026 race, ethnicity, color, caste, national origin, [and more].\u201d JustaMinx is now prohibited from streaming on Twitch for a week, a fact she\u2019s not happy about. \u201cI can\u2019t do another seven days! Let me out! Free me!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
