Twitch streamer G5_Sin, who has a little bit more than 6,000 subscribers, scowled and pointed his gun at the camera.
He made a comment earlier in the stream about JTX live, a medium-sized streamer from the United Kingdom who has criticized G5 and his strategy for expanding his platform in a few videos, because of Mr. Beast and other celebrities who have made fortunes from relaxing in hot tubs, streaming is now acknowledged as a legitimate career path. However, some streamers who are relatively more recent need assistance to succeed. Mr. Beast is officially more well-liked than the local news.
They take unfair shortcuts like “support for support,” which entails requesting that even smaller streamers watch their videos in order to inflate their subscriber counts in a deal that might never stand up. One of these support for support streamers is G5, and JTX is open in his videos about his dislike of the tactic.
G5 didn’t respond well to the criticism. He gravely compares himself to a “rap star” in his menacing stream and makes it clear what he intends to do.
Naturally, a shocked and concerned JTX reported G5 to Twitch due to the explicit threats and explicitly violent imagery displayed in that stream, which aired in June.
Twitch remained completely silent despite his justified concerns and the very clear evidence that G5 had broken its terms of service. Twitch has unwittingly assisted in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, but it still doesn’t have an official anti-gun stance on its platform. It does, however, take a position against the virtual reality game Second Life, where a flash of anime skin occasionally appears. Additionally, the streaming service banned a streamer more quickly for calling white people “crackers” than for threatening to fire a gun.
G5 has had a full month to bask in the admiration of his “haters,” during which time he has written that the gun wasn’t really intended to intimidate anyone.
