The Twitch community are coming together to ban/regulate gambling faster than they do for protecting BIPOC creators from harassment or having their work banned for false reasons. I wish the energy can be matched so we address all important issues.
Wrongfully banned by @Twitch. @TwitchSupport rejected my appeal recently. This caused me to lose followers, subs, views, and income. Twitch is my main income. Now why am I banned yet every streamer on here (non-black) is ok to stream this? I was harassed, hate raided, and bullied
@zachbussey@Twitch So many creators stayed silent or said “not streaming won’t do anything” back when harassment, hate raids, doxxing and the leak happened last year. The harassment and hate raids haven’t stopped for so many people. But NOW they care only because it’s an issue they care about?
Streamers ARE ALLOWED to cancel their Twitch stream/schedule to improve their mental health.
If they're playing video games off stream, & you COMPLAIN about it, harass them, or "call them out" about their decision, then you do not deserve to be in that community.
Being a Twitch streamer and having depression is a really difficult mix sometimes because there's only so many ways you can say, "Sorry for cancelling stream again. I just really don't want to be alive," without it getting repetitive or feeling like you're being forced to share.
