Meatcanyon Banned on Twitch During Fundraising Live Stream

Renowned artist and animator MeatCanyon experienced an unexpected ban from Twitch while engaged in an extended fundraising stream.

MeatCanyon has witnessed meteoric growth in his fanbase, currently boasting nearly 8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, thanks to his distinctive and engaging animations. Alongside his YouTube success, he is a frequent streamer on Twitch, playing popular games, including League of Legends and Magic: The Gathering.

On December 13, 2024, MeatCanyon tweeted about embarking on a live stream intended to last 24 hours, aimed at raising funds for a new barn on his property. However, the event evolved into a multi-day broadcast as he continued streaming throughout the weekend.

Suspension from Twitch: What Happened?

MeatCanyon’s marathon stream, dubbed the ‘Barn-o-thon,’ concluded on December 16, as reported by Twitchtracker. Shortly before the broadcast ended, while he was playing League of Legends, his Twitch account was unexpectedly suspended on December 17. The message displayed on his channel stated: “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

As it stands, the reasons behind MeatCanyon’s ban remain unclear, and it is uncertain how long his channel will remain inaccessible. In addition, Twitch has a policy of not publicizing the details surrounding creators’ bans, leaving fans without clarity on the matter. It remains to be seen if MeatCanyon will provide any updates regarding the situation.

Recognized for his unique artistic style and creativity, MeatCanyon has garnered significant acclaim, even making an impression on cultural phenomena such as the animated series The Simpsons. In a surprising moment earlier this year, Bart Simpson expressed his admiration for MeatCanyon, humorously noting their shared interests.

“He’s like me. He’s into MeatCanyon videos and doing wrestling moves on the dog and pouring Red Bull on pancakes!” Bart quipped.
