Twitch Bans: Sodapoppin Criticizes Indefinite Ban on Kaceytron
Twitch bans can be a nightmare for streamers. Some bans are short and given for minor offenses, while others can be lengthy due to previous incidents or the seriousness of the situation.
Sodapoppin recently spoke out against the indefinite ban that Kaceytron received on Twitch. An indefinite ban means there is no confirmed date for her return to the platform. While many people agree with the decision, Sodapoppin explained why he disagrees and views it as an unethical punishment.
Sodapoppin asked his chat if there was still no official end date for the ban and expressed his disagreement with the ruling.
“Indefinite still?” Sodapoppin said. “That’s unfair. ‘Hey sorry, you’re fired, not sure for how long though.’ Imagine saying that to someone.”
Sodapoppin seems to take issue with the indefinite ban and how it creates uncertainty for Kaceytron. Most Twitch bans have a set end date based on the offense and the number of previous bans. He also believes the ban should not have been imposed in the first place.
“The ban itself is foolish and should never have happened,” Sodapoppin said. “It’s even more ridiculous that they ban someone and then say ‘we’re not sure if it’s permanent, we don’t know.’”
Kaceytron is unsure if she will ever be allowed to stream on Twitch again or if she should start over on another platform. However, not everyone is sympathetic towards Kaceytron.
Kaceytron was banned for making a joke on Rajj Patel’s stream. Patel asked Kaceytron if she would kiss a guy on the show if he had the coronavirus. Kaceytron jokingly replied that she would, and they would leave quarantine to try and spread the disease as much as possible because the world is better off without old or poor people.
Kaceytron has since apologized for the joke, acknowledging that it was in bad taste and not a true reflection of her character.
