His now ex-girlfriend bbjess is under fire for being associated with these ban-worthy comments. Twitch is a platform that welcomes pretty much anyone who\u2019s old enough and can get their hands on a way to stream. Thousands of streamers have found their own audience, and many have made streaming their full-time job. One such streamer is hey_t0ny, a man who streamed full-time on Twitch along with his (up until recently) girlfriend, bbjess. However, some comments on his Twitch stream have been followed by an indefinite ban from the platform. He claimed \u201cit\u2019s okay to be racist\u201d during a stream, praised the Unibomber, promptly deleted all his VoDs afterward, and has since put his Twitter account on private. Streamer banned for \u201cracist\u201d claims while live on Twitch While playing Fall Guys, Twitch streamer hey_t0ny was talking to his chat and had some takes that even the people playing with him questioned. Eventually, the conversation led to him saying, \u201cit\u2019s okay to be racist a little bit,\u201d resulting in a clip that has put this Twitch streamer in hot water. It\u2019s not possible to get access to the VoDs now, yet recordings of the on-stream moments have captured some parts of the deleted videos. After the \u201cit\u2019s okay to be racist\u201d comment, someone in-call with hey_t0ny asked, \u201cWhat the f*** does that mean?\u201d In another clip, he praised the Unibomber, saying \u201cTed Kaczynski is kind of a genius,\u201d followed by a chatter mocking him via text-to-speech, saying \u201cDo you think Hitler is a genius, too?\u201d Tony was dating bbjess, a much larger streamer and content creator. Following these clips being posted and hey_t0ny being under fire on Twitter, they\u2019ve broken up. hey_t0ny initially deleted all of his VoDs and went been silent on social media in the time that followed these clips surfacing. He\u2019s now been banned on Twitch. Vyne, the person who posted the on-stream clips of Tony, claims that Jess has blocked them on Twitter following a series of posts about her and Tony over the past few months. Vyne also has a lengthy thread of screenshots of tweets made from Tony\u2019s Twitter account that they streamer has been criticized for, all of which Jess separated herself from at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
