Steven 'Destiny' Bonnel, a veteran Twitch streamer, has been banned from the site, disclosing that he has been suspended due to an apparent violation of Twitch's hateful conduct community guidelines.
Destiny has already been banned from Twitch, and his partnership was terminated in 2020 for "encouraging violence," according to Twitch.
His account was inaccessible on March 23, and he was suspended once more. He was able to continue broadcasting on another network, YouTube, because he was not partnered on Twitch.
What was the reason behind Destiny's ban from Twitch?
On his YouTube channel, Destiny confirmed that the reason for his ban was due to Twitch's hateful conduct policies, but that he wasn't told anything he did or said that caused the punishment.
This is common procedure for Twitch bans, in which streamers are told what rule they violated but not how they violated it.
Destiny said, "Twitch never tells me why I'm banned." “They said that a violation occurred on stream, and then the three possible [reasons] they gave were: posting a combination of words and emotes in chat to promote denigration based on race, praising or supporting a hate crime.
"And then there's the third one, which, if it's the third one, would totally blow my mind: 'advocating for the exclusion of a group of individuals based on their disability.' There’s no way right?”
