Hasan Piker was banned for a whole 24 hours.... Twitch is such a joke.

@alyx All he did this time was talk about the kike killer's manifesto, and Twitch banned him for "mishandling terrorist propaganda" or something.

It's hard to be on either side of this shitshow, since the only reason people are opposing Hasan's communist bullshit is because he's hurting Jew fee-fees.
@grey @alyx please my shmear queen, don't stab hassan piker with a dagger right in his liver and kidneys
thatd be super illegal and bad
@alyx @eee @grey she’s a fat disgusting kike who doesn’t bathe and smells bad

@grey Yes and no. It's pretty obvious at this point that Twitch moderators are more anti-semitic than most of the people on here. The only reason Piker got suspended was because word got out that he had been showing support for terrorists. Which, even a terrorist realizes it's bad PR.
The suspension was issued because Twitch needed to save face in front of the mainstream media and advertisers, to be able to pretend "oh we definitely don't condone this kind of stuff". Piker discussing the manifesto is incidental. Not the actual reason.

What really happened: Twitch already started having trouble with advertisers, mainstream media uttered Hasan's name as someone problematic, so Twitch needed to take action to pretend it's still a safe platform. They searched for the first thing they could find to slap him on the wrist for. The manifesto was the most recent one. If it wasn't the manifesto, it would have been the next barely problematic thing.

If Twitch staff actually cared about antisemitism, or "Jew fee-fees" how you put it, a lot of people would have been banned (not just suspended) a long time ago. This is just a PR stunt, nothing more.

@alyx @grey 99% of Twitch's problems would be resolved if they had just stuck to video games.

"Just Chatting", "art" streams, and e-thots have all worked out terribly.

> Unbanned in time for his next stream.

Purely preformative. Even when they do punish him, it's basically a no-op.
