...for these comments.
Politics or not, he's a gamer so it felt more appropriate here than the boomer fest that is the Poli Board.
At least it's not another Doc thread.

I like some Asmongold videos and ignore others, but regardless of him, Twitch is a fricking awful company

I don't think its Twitch's responsibility to allow anything at any time on their platform. If they want to become a full-on left-wing woke shithole like Reddit has become then I just won't watch videos there anymore. I don't think this banning is necessarily indicative of that though because he should have probably phrased a few things differently/more carefully (even though overall I agree with his sentiment).

Would he be banned had he dressed up as a girl and said Americans are terrible people from an inferior culture and didn't care if they were wiped off the face of the earth?

We're doing whataboutism?
I'm not going to shed a tear for a hateful racist losing his platform. He's not going to jail, he'll be back.

I'm asking if you believe he would have been banned for a different, yet similar remark.

I don't work for twitch, man. That's their business. I don't agree with either comment (especially the one that actually happened), but that's Twitches right as a business to not be paying people who promote ideals they don't agree with, either in a moral sense or simply a business decision.
Not a freedom of speech issue.

I just asked what you believe. That's it.

Constitutional scholar mmmSicboy is on the case!

I believe what was actually said is all that matters, and if twitch had decided to NOT do anything, that's their business too, but then they would have to deal with the repercussions of people walking away from their platform because of it.

He could probably start his own platform and it would catch on. He doesn't seem like a dude that is that bothered by it.
I actually wish he would. Twitch has become miserable with all the ads.

I had seen clips of his prior to him becoming more vocal about his political views, and I'm honestly not sure how he has such a huge following. But I'm probably too old to get it.

You're taking a non-stance. It's a copout.
Posted on 10/16/24 at 12:12 pm to Devious
Are you asking if I agree with either statement or if either one should be banned? I don't agree with either, I'd support if Twitch banned either instance.
Felt I was clear on that, maybe not.
