    Was gonna say “rare twitch W” but they really went “bad genocidaire, no being explicitly and vitriolically genocidal, come back in 14 days…”

    Infinite genocide on Asmongold fans who remain at this point, let them have the same treatment as those from al-Aqsa and Khan Younis hospitals (not just the recent incendiaries attack, some of the other stuff frankly utterly horrifying and depressing to hear about as a CW, even past the brutality normalized nowadays)

      Yeah, well, he makes them a lot of money. The TOS only applies to people who don’t make them a lot of money. Same as it’s always been.

        Also the bans only 14 days and since most subs on twitch are a month this wont even impact his income that much. Smallest slap on the wrist ever.
