Twitch under fire for banning Valorant streamers over misheard homophobic slurs

Ryan Lemay Published: 2022-07-25T18:02:19 Updated: 2022-07-25T18:02:28PROD Valorant streamer PROD received a Twitch ban after allegedly saying a homophobic slur. PROD is a Valorant Twitch Streamer and content creator for the Esports organization The Guard. The streamer has skyrocketed in popularity in the Valorant community and averages around 5,000 viewers per stream. YouTube and Twitch bans are dominating headlines recently, most notably with popular streamer IShowSpeed received a ban from YouTube for streaming an adult Minecraft mod. Twitch streamer Dimitri ‘Greekgodx‘ Antonatos was also banned and later unbanned from Twitch for criticizing other streamers and making sexist comments. Often, the bans are warranted. But in PROD’s case that is less clear.

PROD says ‘f**k it’ and then it is hard to determine what he says the second time, but it appears Twitch detected that it was him using a slur. PROD was frustrated by the ban and stated on Twitter, “not going to lie, this Twitch ban is f***ing cringe’ We will provide an update if PROD gets unbanned.
