Twitch is under fire after streamer Tectone accused the platform of hypocrisy over its Veterans Day tribute. The controversy began when Twitch posted a message honoring American service members, only for Tectone to respond angrily, claiming it had been banned for advocating for veterans in the past. In a post on his verified X account, Tectone claimed that he was punished for insulting a woman who allegedly said that. “All American soldiers deserved PTSD” while, according to him, Twitch did not take any action against her. His tweet quickly went viral, sparking debate about Twitch’s moderation policies and priorities.The post, filled with frustration and disbelief, resonated with many streamers and viewers who believe Twitch often inconsistently enforces its community guidelines. Tectone’s harsh criticism, released on the same day Twitch attempted to celebrate Veterans Day, amplified the backlash, with many accusing the platform of double standards. Supporters rallied behind Tectone, calling the situation “deaf” and “insulting” to military families, while others urged caution, saying more context was needed before condemning Twitch’s decision. Regardless, the timing of Tectone’s release turned what was going to be a tribute into a controversy.
Tectone criticizes Twitch for its “false” support for veterans
In his post, Tectone did not hold back, directly tagging Twitch and accusing the platform of hypocrisy. The transmitter wrote, “A woman (very fat by the way) said all American soldiers deserved PTSD. You didn’t ban her. I called her fat and defended our troops. And you banned me. You don’t care about soldiers or their sacrifices for this country. “Shut the fuck up.”His unfiltered message instantly went viral, reigniting conversations about Twitch’s moderation standards and whether the platform consistently enforces its rules.The outrage also reflects a growing sentiment in the streaming community that Twitch bans are applied inconsistently, with creators often receiving unclear or contradictory reasoning for suspensions. Several content creators have since expressed solidarity with Tectone, arguing that Twitch’s actions contradict its stated values of inclusivity and respect.While Twitch has yet to respond publicly, the damage has already been done. What was intended to be a positive recognition of Veterans Day instead generated accusations of hypocrisy and favoritism. Tectone’s outburst reflects a deeper frustration among streamers who feel the platform selectively enforces its rules and, in this case, may have chosen the worst possible time to do so.Also Read: Destiny Makes Explosive Allegation Against HasanAbi Involving Girl During Trip to Berlin
