Twitch evangelist banned for telling kid he\u2019ll \u201cgo to hell\u201d Dr. Witnesser[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]A Twitch streamer has been banned for seven days from the website for telling a teammate in Fortnite they would \u201cgo to hell\u201d if they didn\u2019t accept Jesus into their life. Twitch streamer Dr. Witnesser, who works to \u201cbring the gospel to gamers\u201d according to his profile, has been banned for seven days from the platform for apparently telling a non-christian child he was going to hell if he didn\u2019t accept Jesus into his life. https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrWitnesser\/status\/1282740391477944321?s=20 Dr. Witnessser tweeted on July 13 accusing Twitch of being part of the \u201c#cancelchristianity culture\u201d for banning him for \u201ctalking about what the Bible says on stream.\u201d Dexerto couldn\u2019t find any rule in the Twitch ToS or Community Guidelines that specifically forbids proselytizing on the platform, but it may have been the way Dr. Witnesser went about his preaching that nabbed him the seven-day suspension \u2013 and a fair amount of backlash on social media, including from Fortnite pro and streamer Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman. https:\/\/twitter.com\/dakotaz\/status\/1282752710052319232?s=20 Apparently, the incident that got Dr. Witnesser banned happened during a Fortnite game when he was put on the same team with a young Muslim player, who eventually got into discussing their beliefs with him.

Christianity is all over the world. So look, if you were to die in your sins today, you would be sentenced to hell.\u201d As we mentioned earlier, there doesn\u2019t seem to be anything in the Twitch ToS or Community guidelines that forbids what Dr. Witnesser was doing on his stream, but it may have been the way he went about it that rubbed the streaming platform the wrong way. In any case, Dr. Witnesser doesn\u2019t seem discouraged by the temporary ban, and will apparently be taking his work to D.Live in the meantime \u2013 but whether he\u2019ll end up returning to Twitch once his ban is over remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
