Twitch streamer who used racial slurs gets banned at the perfect moment A streamer was banned by Twitch after repeatedly using racial slurs during his broadcast, and his suspension was leveled at perhaps the most ironic moment possible. While there may be a lot of confusion right now regarding Twitch\u2019s moderation process, an offense that\u2019s almost guaranteed to earn a suspension is using racially-charged language on stream. The latest streamer to be taught this lesson is \u2018newblue22\u2019 \u2013 and the timing of his ban couldn\u2019t have been better. His offense occurred during a chatting session with his audience during a October 9 broadcast, when he repeatedly said the \u2018N-word\u2019 and made stereotypical generalizations about \u201cKorean gamers.\u201d Read More: 10 most controversial bans on Twitch – He refuted accusations that he was being a racist, claiming that his intentions in using such language were not racially motivated, and seemed very nonchalant when told he would likely be getting banned. \u201cTwitch? Who cares?\u201d he said, calm as ever. \u201c\u2018You\u2019re gone?\u2019 Who cares? I don\u2019t care.\u201d Unsurprisingly, his suspension followed not long later \u2013 and the timing of it was actually perfect, seeing as how it occurred just as he was reporting someone in Overwatch for using offensive language. \u201cLook at how mad this guy is,\u201d he said, laughing. \u201cI\u2019ll report him! You know what\u2019s funny, he can actually get banned for abusive chat for this! Whoever watching right not that thinks I won\u2019t be successful with this, this is literally a lesson.\u201d However, before he could finish his little spiel, the stream stopped playing, and a message appeared in the chat box warning viewers that the channel had been \u201csuspended.\u201d The sequence was recorded and posted by Reddit user \u2018jesus_christ343,\u2019 who also edited the video to give it some comic relief. As far as Twitch bans go, this probably couldn\u2019t have been timed any better, which incited speculation if someone on staff had decided to pull this off intentionally. Regardless, it\u2019s highly likely that this streamer probably won\u2019t be heard from ever again, and not just because of his violations, but also how he made it abundantly clear that he didn\u2019t care about his future on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
