Kick streamer \u2018JohnnySomali\u2019 hit with 72-hour ban YouTube\/JohnnySomaliControversial Kick streamer \u2018JohnnySomali\u2019 has been banned from the platform for 72 hours following several instances of racist behavior toward locals in Japan. JohnnySomali has become an divisive online figure due to his live streams on Kick, a rising competitor to Twitch that\u2019s recently accrued a slew of top broadcasters in big-budget deals. However, Somali\u2019s streams have been widely deemed as offensive. He has made several racist remarks toward locals in Japan while livestreaming in public. The streamer\u2019s inflammatory behavior includes making comments about Hiroshima and Nagasaki toward Japanese citizens as he broadcasts his journey through the country. Despite his comments, many of those around him in public simply ignored him and went on with their day. However, Somali\u2019s behavior hasn\u2019t gone completely unchecked. He\u2019s been confronted by angry locals a fair few times in the past, even getting jumped on several occasions by folks who\u2019d had enough of his comments. Streamer JohnnySomali receives 72-hour ban from Kick Despite his antics going viral across social media and inciting outrage both on the net and in real life, Somali was able to stream on Kick this whole time \u2014 until recently. On June 29, Somali received a 72-hour ban from Kick, prompting him to switch his stream to YouTube. Although the streamer still isn\u2019t sure why he was banned, Kick\u2019s Community Guidelines prohibit activities and material that \u201cinvolve threats or harassment,\u201d which may have been the reason for his suspension. It\u2019s worth noting that Somali also stream sniped fellow broadcaster BurgerPlanet, leading to a heated confrontation between the two streamers on the same day. For now, it looks like Somali\u2019s Kick ban isn\u2019t permanent, and he hasn\u2019t offered any further comment on the situation at the time of writing.
