Asmongold Critiques Twitch’s “Inconsistent” Banning Policy After 14-Day Suspension

Asmongold has expressed his belief that Twitch’s ban policies have been “inconsistent,” following a 14-day suspension he received from the streaming platform.

On October 14, the prominent Twitch streamer attracted significant backlash for making statements regarding the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel. During a live session on his zackrawrr account, he remarked that the culture in Palestine is “inferior” and stated that he felt no empathy towards its people.

These remarks quickly spread across social media, igniting outrage among both Twitch users and non-users, who were vocal in calling for action against him. In response to the outcry, Asmongold issued an apology, but was subsequently handed a 14-day suspension by the Amazon-owned platform.

Since the incident, he has criticized Twitch, reiterating that he finds their moderation practices to be “inconsistent,” a viewpoint he has maintained for quite some time.

“In my opinion, Twitch’s policies on bans are quite poor and inconsistent. I have made numerous videos addressing this issue, and it remains true day in and day out,” Asmongold stated while interacting with his subreddit community, responding to comments about alleged double standards from Twitch.

The suspension wasn’t the only consequence faced by the World of Warcraft streamer; he has also had to depart from the OTK collective and their Starforge systems enterprise.

Despite these challenges, Asmongold has assured his followers that he plans to return to Twitch after his suspension ends and intends to keep his content relatively unchanged.

Moreover, he has expressed his desire to visit the Middle East in the upcoming year, vowing to “broaden his perspectives” as a result.

Looking ahead, Twitch has announced plans for enhanced transparency regarding their ban policies in 2025, including sharing video clips with streamers to explain their bans and allowing for appeals.
