Famous streamer Asmongold gets banned from Twitch. Why I CHOOSE to not be a 'Youtuber'.

Famous content creator, Asmongold, faces backlash online and is banned from Twitch.
The situation garners a negative reaction from both his detractors and supporters. Why did this happen?

Hi everyone. Please remember to iron your herringbone 3 piece suits careful. Polyester Wool blend is safe to iron but don't linger on one spot for too long or you can damage your suit.

i'm here for when Asmongold comes back to farm his own controversy

[PagingDoctorGuy]

This guy may not be a content creator, and he's too well dressed to be a farmer at first glance, but he's farming W's anyways

Hasan is active but Asmon gets banned. His biggest mistake was apologizing.

is it so old fashioned to be level headed and strong

As a woman, it is driving me insane to see what is being done to men... I always do my best to compliment men when I'm out being an adult. Simple example, me thanking the guys who work on my tires. I tell them they are needed and that I'm grateful for what they do. And I'm glad it puts a genuine smile on their face.

He gets banned but hasan piker can use slurs and say the the u.s deserved it is not surprising.

Sad thing is I wouldn't even know who you are without him showing one of your vids

member when Kojima predicted the internet machine and tribalistic dogma back in 2001 with MGS2? I member.

Crazy thing is. Is if he had said something about Christians it wouldn’t be taken the same way

Here in Brazil, we have a streamer called Wagner Tomazzoni ("Canal tragicômico" channel) that was banned from Twitch for "hate speech".

Crime: agreeing with a trans woman who said woke people are annoying.

[FuuzBeeen]

Wait, he got banned off twitch for Israel/Palestine opinions? Twitch needs to grow the heck up.
Edit: Whoa hello everyone, drink water, stretch often.

Thank you Sungrand. It is so difficult to have a conversation in YT comments, if you use more than 1 controversial word in a sentence, or use some of the words that would get you in trouble in church school, comments will get silently deleted.

It's sad that common sense is considered old fashioned.

[Jakieboi]

Casual critical thinking. 'It's a sin'

[ElderGamerX]

I feel like Twitch banning Asmongold temporarily was to test the waters on how much not having him on the platform negatively impacts them. His unmonetized channel costs Twitch a ton of money annually, and they'll likely use this to leverage him into having to run ads or use his main channel again. Remember, huge companies don't care about you or human suffering, they care about the bottom line.

It's also crazy that this video is how I found out about this news (I don't use Twitch at all).

[ElDrHouse]

He got banned for pointing out that culture is much more intolerant than anything you will find in the West. And he was 100% right.
In twitch you can critizice christianity, even atheism or buddhism all you want point out at scandals of those religions but Islam is a no-no. Literally why.

Part of the reason why you're such a good person to listen to is because you aren't an "influencer" or social media personality. You're just someone in the gaming industry who has a lot of passion for what they like and do. It's why you can speak to the people so effectively.

It's hard to imagine a time now when we had rational discussions about things of a political nature and didn't hate each other's guts over our political beliefs, we usually just politely disagreed, and never brought up politics again because friends who wanna stay friends don't talk about religion or politics.
