I dont think saying “if Republicans cared about this issue, they’d kill Rick Scott” is a call to violence, but whatever Twitch, you gave Hasan a few days off that he probably needs and put a big spotlight on a sitting senator’s massive medicare fraud.

This ban is such horseshit since he didn’t suggest anyone should kill Rick Scott, or generally advocate for the killing of Rick Scott. But apparently just alluding to the killing of Rick Scott is problematic on twitch. Generally, I think there should be more discussion about this whole “kill Rick Scott“ issue, although I don’t think anyone should actually kill Rick Scott.
Idk if this is important but Twitch is owned by Amazon
Oh, I bet it is. It's probably the sole reason after a direct order from the Baldini Sith himself.
Are you talking about Dr evil in his penis rocket?
Oh my God! It looks like a giant...
Johnson! Call Air Command immediately.
Come to think of it, I might be!
Overtime, they will putt more pressure and eventually get rid of him. He's one of the very few big left wing content creator and they can't have this continue on.
Twitch has been babying Piker for years. He's violated their TOS so frequently that I'm surprised they didn't give him a kiss on the forehead for this
For anyone still curious, the ban was lifted already
If Twitch really cared about the issue, they'd kill the ban
If Twitch really cared about the issue, they'd kill Rick Scott
They could have at least banned him for his non-based opinions, this was nothing
Anyone know for how long he's banned?
He's a money-maker for Twitch, so I can't imagine it'll be more than a week. Two weeks if they're actually mad at him.
isn’t that the guy that doesn’t believe taiwan is its own country?
I've seen him talk about how the USA accepted China's "one China policy" (aka the notion that Taiwan is part of China) back when Nixon was president.
Info you can Google:
Basically any talk of it even condemning it or showing an example of republicans expressing violence can get you banned.
