Twitch temporarily banned popular streamer Nickmercs, but now allows him to stream again. The content creator clarified the reason, saying the platform explained that he used a prohibited term.
According to the streamer’s explanation in a broadcast, Twitch officials informed him that his use of a prohibited term was equivalent to using the N-word. A couple of weeks ago, this streamer displayed certain transphobic behaviors and attitudes, which led to controversy, including using some derogatory terms against the trans community.
The Permanent Ban of This Twitch Streamer Is Imminent
The most popular streaming platform has been in the spotlight for weeks because of certain controversial content creators.
The public learned why the platform permanently banned popular streamer Dr. Disrespect not long ago, and now, another controversial figure is revealing the reason for his week-long ban. In a recent stream, Nickmercs provided an explanation for his ban.
It’s not the first time the platform has been involved in a major controversy due to its content creators.
The streamer returned to the platform and explained the reason for his one-week ban.
Reaction of social media about the words that this streamer used has not been positive.
People really don’t like Nickmercs.
While live, he clarified that he used a word that apparently has a more than negative connotation regarding the trans community. At the time, during a stream, he said numerous quite transphobic things that generated many headlines.
After a Week-Long Ban, Nickmercs Returns to the Streaming Platform
This streamer is quite vocal about his opinions, but he doesn’t hesitate to insult any community that disagrees with him. This type of toxic and negative behavior led to his one-week ban.
Additionally, platform officials clarified to him that saying these types of words is like uttering the N-word during a stream. However, the streamer didn’t seem to be sorry about his words or how he referred to this community.
The platform should be more careful about what kind of content creators it accepts. Several times, the streamer has been on the verge of a permanent ban, and given his previous statements, it is likely that this will eventually occur.
The type of attitude this content creator promotes is not the most inclusive and tends to be quite controversial regarding certain communities.
It appears that controversy and Twitch go hand in hand, and these kinds of issues will continue to arise frequently. Given the significant viewership of these content creators on the platform, it is necessary to make adjustments to the types of profiles that are permitted to stream.
Brands should also be very careful about choosing their representatives; these kinds of streamers in particular have proven to not be trustworthy.
