Basically any talk of it even condemning it or showing an example of republicans expressing violence can get you banned.

isn’t that the guy that doesn’t believe taiwan is its own country?

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

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:

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

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.

Idk if this is important but Twitch is owned by Amazon

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh my God! It looks like a giant...

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

Johnson! Call Air Command immediately.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Come to think of it, I might be!

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

They could have at least banned him for his non-based opinions, this was nothing

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anyone know for how long he's banned?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

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.
