We support Twitch users who express diverse or unpopular points of view, or do so in humorous or controversial ways, but make your intent clear. The issue, according to Twitch’s community guidelines, is that dark humor and controversial jokes must be explicitly referred to as a joke, otherwise Twitch has the authority to ban a streamer. The streamer received a seven-day ban in January for threatening another streamer, which fans defended as a joke. Any hateful conduct is considered a zero-tolerance violation and all accounts associated with such conduct will be indefinitely suspended.Īgain, Destiny isn’t a stranger to Twitch’s ban process. Hateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes, encourages, or facilitates discrimination, denigration, objectification, harassment, or violence based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, medical condition, physical characteristics, or veteran status, and is prohibited. Even if Destiny meant it as a joke, the statement violates Twitch’s community guidelines regarding hateful content and inciting violence.
But they also clipped the thing where I was talking to my mom and I said, ‘Holy shit, maybe they should just fucking shoot Cubans who were swimming over to the US or something or what my mom wanted to do to Mexicans or whatever.’ĭestiny, who is of Hispanic descent, said he heard from people at Twitch that it was his comments about Cubans that really landed him in trouble. I called him the F-word - I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say it without getting banned on another platform, but I said the F-word, and called him a retard or whatever. The first one was because I called the one dude a bad word. “I was given two reasons for why I was banned,” Destiny says in the video above. Destiny explained in a recent YouTube stream following his ban that he’s not sure what exactly prompted the ban, but gave two ideas as to what may have prompted Twitch taking action.
All of that helps to explain why Destiny received a 30-day ban a few days ago.
