Streamer blames \u201cjealous\u201d Pokimane fans for Twitch ban after bizarre clip Twitch \/ Twitch: PokimaneAfter the bizarre clip of a streamer\u2019s strange reaction towards a selfie of Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys led to his suspension, the Australian hit out at her \u201cjealous\u201d fans and blamed them for the ban. On January 30, a viewer informed Pokimane of a clip that was making the rounds online in which Twitch streamer \u2018Empirrre\u2019 jokingly took one of her Twitter selfies and positioned his camera overlay so that it appeared as though he was kissing and licking her backside. While the Moroccan-Canadian found the whole thing hilarious and even got in on the joke herself by positioning her own camera feed so she could stretch out her arm and \u201cstop\u201d the Australian with her hand, he was later banned from the Amazon-owned platform \u2013 something he blames the 23-year-old\u2019s \u201cjealous\u201d fans for. Banned after weird interaction with Pokimane picture On January 31, the 26-year-old informed his Twitter followers of the one-day suspension, and shared a partial screenshot of the email he was sent from Twitch about the ban. \u201cI have been temporary banned on Twitch for 1 day, this is most likely due to spam reporting,\u201d he said, stating that Poki\u2019s reaction to the clip could have caused her fans to mass report him. \u201cProbably out of jealousy towards [Pokimane] which [by the way] was a joke.\u201d While the image of the email was cut off as to not show the exact reason why the platform made the decision to temporarily suspend him, it did back up the Australian\u2019s claim that he\u2019d been banned for one day. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Empirrretv\/status\/1223420910012526593 While the streamer cites the Moroccan-Canadian\u2019s viewers as a reason for the ban, Twitch\u2019s Community Guidelines have a \u201csuggestive\u201d content section which, if broken, can result in punishment \u2013 including suspensions. \u201cWhen reviewing this type of content or activity, we will consider its intent and context based on a number of factors including, but not limited to behavior and commentary, reaction to content, camera framing, angle, and focus,\u201d it reads. His pretend-kissing of her rear end could have fallen under that, though it\u2019s unclear if it actually did or whether he was indeed mass-reported by people who saw the clip. In the past, users have been met with three-day bans, 30-day, and worse for offending behavior on the streaming platform, all depending on a case-to-case basis.
