LosPollosTV banned from Twitch after watching PG movie Twitter: LosPollosTVPopular Twitch streamer Louis \u2018LosPollosTV\u2019 Sammartino has been handed a 24-hour ban from the platform, reportedly after showing a scene from the movie Super Size Me on a broadcast. The streamer, who once set the record for the longest ever livestream at 195 hours, confirmed the length of the suspension on Twitter on May 27. Although Twitch does not publicly disclose the cause of bans, viewers of his stream suggest that it was after a scene in the 2004 film \u2018Supersize Me\u2019 briefly showed a prostate exam taking place. According to one viewer, Sammartino \u201cwas literally watching supersize me a McDonald\u2019s documentary that\u2019s [rated] PG and a dude was getting a medical exam. The doctor checked his rectum.\u201d The ban has caused some controversy over Twitch\u2019s consistency with punishments for community guidelines violations. It\u2019s less than a week after Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys escaped a ban for showing \u201cinappropriate\u201d content, due to a prank from a troll. On Twitter, the streamer confirmed that it was only a 24-hour ban, but explained that he had more serious matters on his mind, revealing that his former girlfriend had been diagnosed with cancer, and asking everyone to keep her in their prayers. Only a 24 hour suspension, it\u2019s ok\u2026 But that\u2019s the last thing on my mind right now, my ex gf just got diagnosed with cancer\u2026 I\u2019m in shock\u2026 I fuckin love that girl.. Please send some prayers, I can\u2019t process this rn \u2014 Los \ud83c\udf47 (@LosPollosTV) May 26, 2020 Twitch under fire for inconsistency The precise cause of LosPollosTV\u2019s ban cannot be verified, but Twitch users have criticized the platform on the understanding it was due to the Supersize Me clip. \u201cPeople are questioning why he got banned for this and Pokimane showed p*** without any punishment,\u201d one user said. Another replied \u201cThis is what we mean. Poki doesn\u2019t get banned and we say okay as long as that\u2019s the new standard but NOPE. Not even a week later\u2026\u201d Another user offered a possible explanation for Twitch\u2019s action; that they may have felt obligated to ban the account simply to remove the offending material. \u201cThe most serious offense about this situation in Twitch\u2019s mind is continuing to host material that violates TOS on your account, thus forcing them to suspend your account to remove it themselves.\u201d Twitch says that it always takes context, as well as past behavior into account. But, this is not enough of an explanation for fans whose favorite streamers appear to get harsher treatment than others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
