Twitch streamer unable to ban Twitch staff after they \u201cgaslit\u201d him in chat Twitch: Harris HellerA Twitch streamer was left visibly distressed after a Twitch staff member joined his livestream and began telling him off, with the streamer then expressing how much the interaction triggered his \u201canxiety\u201d, especially when realizing he was unable to ban the staff member from the chat. Twitch staff member Seth Hendrix joined Harris Heller\u2019s stream when the content creator was discussing the recent controversy surrounding the platform in regard to its Branded Content guidelines. The staff member then commented in the chat, \u201cNo one is saying you\u2019re wrong about anything. Just you have so many assumptions that are so way off.\u201d Heller then began showing signs of discomfort before stating, \u201cI\u2019m happy to be wrong but just tell me I\u2019m wrong. Don\u2019t tell me I\u2019m wrong and then say I\u2019m not saying you\u2019re wrong\u2026I don\u2019t understand why we\u2019re having this conversation. If Twitch is trying to fix its appearance with streamers, you can\u2019t come into a streamer\u2019s chat.\u201d Heller then showed more discomfort before stating, \u201cI want to end my stream right now because I feel so uncomfortable by getting gaslit by Twitch staff on my livestream. Like what is happening here?\u201d He then tried to ban the staff member from the chat before quickly realizing he is unable to do so. Part of the system that Twitch has in place is that staff cannot be removed or banned from streams, meaning that Harris was unable to do anything about the situation despite it triggering his \u201c social anxiety\u201d in a big way. Twitch streamer distressed after staff member joins chat In the aftermath, Heller took to Twitter to explain what happened and how he was left feeling afterward. \u201cHey guys. Yeah this was super weird and my social anxiety was sky-high but people deal with way worse on stream every day. It\u2019s not a huge deal. I just shut down stream and played outside with my daughter instead. 10\/10 would recommend.\u201d However, Heller did then state that he does not want his followers or anyone else sending \u201chate\u201d towards the staff member, writing that it is \u201cnot worth it.\u201d For all the latest Twitch news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto\u2019s full coverage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
