Twitch Streamer Banned After Staging His Own Swatting
- Thread starter Fracas
- Start date
Tits bad. Impersonating police officers and making light of deadly raids on innocent individuals that take away from actual police resources good.
Good. Pretending to be swatted is bad enough, but vaping like it is the 50s smoking is cool era to a bunch of teens should warrant a harsher ban from Twitch.
Fucking ban that disgusting vaping BS in public.
Fucking nasty as shit...bunch of aerosols, nicotine and random chemicals fill the room with its disgusting smell of fake "raspberry."
Can't believe Congress hasn't impose a higher tax rate and age restriction since it also encourages smoking.
I can't stand those people who casually blow that shit in a closed space because they believe that it isn't bad as smoking and those chemicals are harmless to others.
Literally the same mindset that people told others about smoking in the 50s, 2nd hand smoke doesn't cause cancer guys! STOP WHINING!

I can't understand why anyone gives any of these twitch steamers money.
This is what another big streamer made in about 17 days.

I'm not sure how big Trick2G is compared to Forsen but "big" streamers make a lot of money.
How dare he vape in his own house! WHAT A PRICK
From what I gather, this was his epic end to a 24 hour stream. And to be clear, these were not real officers. It was his idea of a joke.
I don't see a big deal with this, though I can understand that Twitch might be uncomfortable with the idea that a big streamer is 'condoning' the practice of swatting

I'm sure the donation site takes a cut of that money but still. To get damn near 20k a month....Must be nice. Can't even hate on that.

Lol Athene did the same thing and wasn't banned.
If someone took the time to elaborately act out the murder of a person I guarantee you they would be banned. The difference is the effort taken vs an off the cuff comment with no weight behind it.

And that's just donations and doesn't account for his take with his subs. Good god.

What in the world? No rule against some boob unless it goes over the top.

and taxes will be killer on it, right? I thought self-employed people had to pay mad taxes.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if it was even more than that.
It's "tame" right now but usually her screen is like 80% of the entire window and she puts on an annoying but clever act. She also hardly plays the game while she's on stream.
Pink_Sparkles and Kristiplays would definitely go over the top.
Twitch doesn't really give a shit, though. Thousands of channels would be banned if they actually enforced their rules.

depends on the state he lives in.
IIRC streamtips takes .1% of each donation.
His dad was killed by a vaper gang
Streamers are like a litmus test. All the folks with strong opinions about the right way to do things can't seem to help but react to them.
Complaining about skimpy outfit streamers is one of the usual derails, I have to admit the vaping rant is new to me
I think I should start a streaming network.
Hire bunch of college girls per channel, get a theater student as well to write fake scripts for the streamer to fill out the dead air, get some kids with free time to record their gaming session for a few buck to use their footage.
It looks like they don't need to play game at all, just socializing in front of Twitch and thank you for donation and subs every 10 sec.
At least one of them will be successful right?
Dirty co-workers and people who casually smoke them in restaurant/public place.
It is like they have no manner.
Those vapors smell so horrible.
A lot of the big streamers really only stick to one game and it's usually LoL. Twitch is really about popularity not even about being good. I think there are tons of smaller streams that put in more hard work thats more deserving. But when someone can hustle the systems you can't really blame them.

He'll probably be back next week or something. Maybe even sooner.
Very poor taste. Then again, Trick2G subscribers aren't exactly the highest grade of Twitch user, and that's saying something.

My guess is a lot of donators (to streamers in general) are kids using their parents credit cards for bragging rights in the chat.
Assholes will be assholes. I vape, but not in public. I have to believe regulations will be coming later on down the line, it's still a new thing.
So if my gf would cosplay as Miss Fortune/rotating costume while I play LoL, and she is repeating what I am saying back to Twitch for contents and flirting back to the viewers, you think both of us will make $10k/month?
Hmm, would be an interesting social experiment.
She could just make her own account and play. She doesn't have to be good lol. Really all she has to do is just interact with the stream.

Ok this made me cry, shit ffs.
Swatters really need harsh penalties brought up against them. You could argue it's attempted murder
So Um where does the gameplay on the video take place because I'm only saw a giant fucking banner of donations and then two chat streams. is this seriously what people do now is mostly take a 50% of how much people give them money, rather than majority of the screen actually being the game.
It was the end of a 24 hour stream. He was wrapping up, pretty sure
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Even then look at that layout, it's disgusting!
I Googled and was severely disappointed.
I think the outrage about this stunt is stupid. The only reason I can see it being an issue is if it actually impacted anything, anywhere. I think folks see a guy who is popular and making good scratch and think "OK. Let's blow this shit out of proportion."

Yeah it looks horrendous. Why would you need TWO chat streams? Just awful.

I'm still reeling over newfound knowledge that some Twitch streamers actually have managers. Since when does someone who plays video games all day need representation?
Back in my younger days, my mom used to tell me no one would ever pay a person to play video games all day.
Then again, she also said Green Day would never amount to anything, so maybe she was just guessing.
