Viewer who sued Twitch for $25M over \u201csimp culture\u201d denied by judge Pokimane\/Twitch\/AlinityErik Estavillo, the Twitch viewer who sued the platform for $25 million in damages for exposing him to \u201coverly suggestive and sexual content from various female streamers\u201d including Pokimane and Alinity while using the site has had his case denied by a California court. Back in June of 2020 Estavillo, who has previously sued Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and Blizzard, filed a lawsuit against Twitch in the Santa Clara Superior Court of California. According to the lawsuit, Twitch\u2019s \u201ctwisted programming net code\u201d combined with OCD and sex addiction made it nearly impossible for him to use Twitch without being exposed to \u201csexual content.\u201d Estavillo named a number of female streamers in his complaint, including Pokimane, Alinity, Amouranth, and others, while requesting they be \u201cpermanently banned,\u201d however, it doesn\u2019t seem like the court agreed he had a case. In the tentative ruling posted by the court, the judge said the main problem with Estavillo\u2019s case was the evidence he brought forward wasn\u2019t enough to support the claims in his lawsuit. \u201cThe \u201cexhibits\u201d submitted by Plaintiff [Estavillo] with his opposition do not identify, much less support, any claims under California law,\u201d the ruling reads. Basically, after the lawsuit was filed lawyers representing Twitch made a motion with the court to dismiss it, and the court did \u201cwith prejudice.\u201d That means this saga seems to be over, once and for all, and can\u2019t be brought back to court. Despite this, the self-described Twitch addict has said he plans on appealing this ruling to the 6 District Court of Appeals, but whether or not things will fare any differently for him there remains to be seen. Estavillo, who was following 786 female streamers and 0 male streamers at the time of the complaint back in June, said he wanted $25 million from Twitch, along with having all of the female streamers he had mentioned \u201cpermanently banned.\u201d With the court\u2019s decision though, that happening now seems slimmer than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
