Twitch streamer Imane Anys aka Pokimane shares her thoughts about the recent WillNeff Twitch ban drama as she stated that it was OfflineTV’s fault.
Earlier on July 17th, WillNeff was handed a twitch ban due to his interaction with Mr Wobbles, who received a ban from the platform three years ago for lashing out at someone who was harassing him.
After Mr Wobbles emotionally apologized to WillNeff as he felt responsible for his ban, they both decided to appeal Mr Wobbles’ ban. The appeal was successful as Mr Wobbles is now unbanned from the platform after three years of being permabanned. While Mr Wobbles feels responsible for WillNeff’s ban, Pokimane seemed to believe otherwise.
Pokimane believes that the onus of the ban rests on OfflineTv for allowing a banned streamer to be a part of their server, implying that it puts every other streamer at risk. She also questioned why WillNeff is the only streamer who got banned while she believes that many other twitch streamers also encountered Mr Wobbles on the server.
Here’s what she said; “Why is that guy on our Rust server? Because that’s a walking liability to have a banned streamer. That puts everybody in breach of the terms and conditions. Secondly, why did they only ban Will? Was he the one that hung out with the guy the most? I’d assume not.” Pokimane is one of many streamers who claimed the ban was undeserved. The consensus is that Twitch was quick to pull the trigger and needs to clarify the rules surrounding banned creators appearing on other streams.
