Pokimane reveals warning from Twitch after calls for her to be banned Twitch: PokimaneAfter accidentally showing \u201cinappropriate\u201d content on stream, there were calls for Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys to be banned from Twitch, but she has now revealed the warning she received from the platform. As the platform\u2019s most popular female streamer, Twitch star Pokimane boasts millions of fans, but must also deal with near-constant scrutiny. On May 19, a troll viewer tricked Pokimane into showing the inappropriate content. Although she instantly removed it from the screen, there were calls for her to be banned almost immediately. Pokimane responded to this only a few days later, explaining that she had not had such incidents frequently enough to warrant a ban, but that Twitch \u201cdefinitely do give you a warning.\u201d She also debunked claims that there was any favoritism or \u201cdouble standards\u201d, by explaining that a popular male streamer had the exact same situation occur, and also didn\u2019t face a ban. On May 23, Anys posted a screenshot of the official warning she received from Twitch. \u201cWarning is deserved, sorry to anyone who didn\u2019t wanna see that on stream,\u201d she said. warning is deserved, sorry to anyone who didn\u2019t wanna see that on stream. i\u2019ll be even more careful in the future, but i\u2019m glad it made for a good meme lmao \ud83d\ude05 pic.twitter.com\/t2NxgxPEBM\u2014 pokimane (@pokimanelol) May 23, 2020 The message from Twitch warns that \u201canother offense may result in a suspension.\u201d Twitch bans typically last either 24 hours, a few days to a week, or in severe cases, 30 days. Repeated, serious violations can eventually result in permanent bans. Some felt Twitch\u2019s decision was fair, given that the incident was clearly accidental and Pokimane made an immediate attempt to remove the offending content. Others however, still argued that there was some special treatment being given, mentioning other streamers who have been banned for near-identical incidents in the past. Even xQc, another of the most popular channels on the platform, was suspended for a very similar violation of the community guidelines. However, Twitch says that it always takes context into account when reviewing possible violations, meaning each case is treated individually, perhaps without always considering prior precedent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
