Twitch quickly unban Jinny after controversial TLOU2 comments JinnyttyAfter being handed a two-week suspension, Twitch streamer \u2018Jinnytty\u2019 has had her ban lifted after only eight hours, following her public statement and apology. Jinny had been streaming The Last of Us 2 on July 24 when the ban struck, after comments she made about one of the game\u2019s leading characters, Abby. The streamer said that due to her frustration with the character and the story, she \u201cjust wanted to say I don\u2019t want to look at her anymore, but I put it in a wrong way.\u201d The character, Abby, has a notably large and muscular physique, and Jinny called her transgender (the character is not, in fact, transgender). \u201cI wasn\u2019t 100% sure if she was transgender or not and I saw a lot of people talking about it, so without thinking I thought it was okay to use the word transgender to describe her,\u201d Jinny said. In a Discord message, Jinny said it was \u201ctime to appeal\u201d, and it appears that the appeal was successful, as her two-week ban was cut considerably shorter. \u2705 Twitch Partner “”Jinnytty”” has been unbanned after 7 hours, 41 minutes, 58 seconds! \u2705https:\/\/t.co\/A1PQ07HW56#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udd58 \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) July 25, 2020 \u201cI really didn\u2019t mean to hate on someone and I have nothing against transgender people,\u201d Jinny continued, in her statement. \u201cI sincerely apologize for anyone who got offended by it and I promise that in the future, I will be more educated and careful with what I say and do on stream.\u201d Explaining her comment, she said, \u201cI was just not interested in Abby\u2019s story during the game. I thought it was boring and exhausting so I just wanted to say I don\u2019t want to look at her anymore, but I put it in a wrong way.\u201d I received a suspension on Twitch for commenting on a character called Abby in the Last of Us 2.

It\u2019s unclear exactly why Twitch reversed its decision to hand Jinny a two-week ban. The Amazon-owned platform says that it always takes context into account when issuing community guidelines strikes, and streamers always have the option to appeal. Twitch does not comment on individual community guidelines violations to respect the privacy of users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
