Twitch has a lot of rules that can trigger a ban, from the clothing attire worn during broadcasts, to IRL streams showing acts of violence by accident. However, sometimes the platform issues bans that have people questioning the reasons behind it. Streamer PeteyPlastic claims that Twitch banned him after being a victim of someone using a homophobic slur towards him during a broadcast, and says the platform banned him for it. Banned for \u201chomophobia\u201d The musician tweeted on October 5 saying that he was angry for being suspended from the platform. \u201cI was banned on Twitch for 40 days for Twitch allowing a banned streamer into the event and wound up unintentionally on my stream.\u201d he said. \u201cA woman saying \u201cShe loves f*gs\u201d to me (I am gay) & I got banned for homophobia.\u201d The bulk of his suspension has to do with the homophobic slur used during his stream, which he alleges was used against him. The musician included the emails Twitch had sent him to inform him of the suspension. So I was banned on @twitch for 40 days for 1. Twitch allowing a banned streamer into the event and wound up unintentionally on my stream 2. A woman saying “”She loves fags”” to me (I am gay) & I got banned for homophobia Got a 40 day ban and did not do anything wrong myself. pic.twitter.com\/vweHndFdWy \u2014 Petey Plastic (@PeteyPlastic) October 5, 2019 The angry rapper said he was moving over to YouTube streaming, after he slammed Twitch for allegedly banning a gay person who had a homophobic slur used against them. \u201cSince Twitch will ban streamers for being the victim of \u201chomophobia\u201d, I will now be streaming on YouTube,\u201d he said.

Much better than I ever did on twitches unfair platform. pic.twitter.com\/GkApopUqO8 \u2014 Petey Plastic (@PeteyPlastic) October 5, 2019 When Twitter user \u2018imalobsteryo\u2019 pointed out the infamous Alinity cat \u2018abuse\u2019 incident which didn\u2019t result in a ban, the LGBTQ rapper took a shot at the streaming platform by adding \u201cor threw their cat lol.\u201d While it\u2019s unclear who the banned streamer was that was shown on his stream, a similar incident happened at TwitchCon 2019, where an IRL streamer had to dodge his banned friend to avoid getting into trouble with the same policy. PeteyPlastic tweeted angrily at Twitch for having the rule, and claimed that the streaming platform is at fault for allowing banned streamers into the event in the first place. Security at @TwitchCon allowed many banned streamers to get in, some not even having. To go through security. The gaming community is filled with rage fueled incels. What if one of these banned streamers had a gun? @twitch doesn\u2019t care about the safety of its users \u2014 Petey Plastic (@PeteyPlastic) October 5, 2019 As of the time of this article, Twitch has not commented any further on the ban.
