Popular political streamer Clara ‘Keffals’ Sorrenti moved her stream to another streaming platform YouTube in the interim after being banned from Twitch just minutes before sharing a tell-all stream about the harassment she experienced from Steven ‘Destiny‘ Bonnell II.
Keffals has quietly developed into one of the more active political commentators on the internet, taking a strong stance on trans rights issues in an effort to promote greater LGBT protections internationally.
As a result, she has received online harassment from several other streamers. Keffals took the majority of it in stride, but she also fought back against some, such as former Twitch star Destiny, who was later permanently barred from the website.
However, just before she was scheduled to go live to discuss how Destiny lied about her and tried to ruin her life by using a hate forum that has been linked to numerous suicides against her, she also discuss how her Twitch account was banned.
Prior to beginning, Keffals claimed that her account had received numerous reports, and as a result, Twitch had banned her. She continued to stream on YouTube after that, going into detail about alleged targeted harassment by Destiny and his community.
Some have asserted that the ban was actually caused by Keffals’ video thumbnail, which featured homophobic insults directed at the creator. But the precise justification is unknown.
Before it was blocked, Keffals’ Twitch channel had just under 40,000 subscribers.
Additionally, the streamer claimed that Destiny’s community maintained their “brigade” on YouTube, causing her to disable chat there.
Although the Twitch ban is only temporary, it is unclear when it will be lifted. However, it hasn’t stopped Keffals from trying to get her point across; she still manages to attract a sizable following on Twitter and YouTube.
