Twitch streamer banned for 30 days for using word he didn\u2019t know was offensive UnsplashA Twitch streamer\u2019s choice of language during a livestream has landed him in hot water, but he\u2019s since claimed that he didn\u2019t actually know the word he used was offensive at all. James D\u2019Arcangelo, who goes by the name of Cloneman16, revealed on March 18 that he has been temporarily suspended from the streaming platform. The ban that he\u2019s been given will last up to 30 days, after using a term that Twitch deemed to be offensive enough to take action. \u201cSadly I\u2019ve been suspended for 30 days on Twitch, going to try and fix this,\u201d he said in a tweet after his suspension was confirmed. The word used by the streamer was \u201cmongoloid,\u201d which is an offensive word that has been used in the past to label people with Down\u2019s Syndrome. Sadly I’ve been suspended for 30 days on twitch, going to try and fix this. It was for hateful conduct for the word “”mongoloid””. I didn’t know the true meaning of it till now and I would like to apologize for this. \u2014 James D’Arcangelo (@Cloneman16) March 18, 2019 \u201cIt was for hateful conduct for the word \u2018mongoloid\u2019. I didn\u2019t know the true meaning of it until now and I would like to apologize for this,\u201d he added. The streamer is known to play Overwatch for his viewers on Twitch but now, sadly for them, they will have to wait quite some time until they can tune into another one of his broadcasts again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
