      Overtime, they will putt more pressure and eventually get rid of him. He’s one of the very few big left wing content creator and they can’t have this continue on.

      Oh, I bet it is. It’s probably the sole reason after a direct order from the Baldini Sith himself.

      Twitch has been babying Piker for years. He’s violated their TOS so frequently that I’m surprised they didn’t give him a kiss on the forehead for this

    This ban is such horseshit since he didn’t suggest anyone should kill Rick Scott, or generally advocate for the killing of Rick Scott. But apparently just alluding to the killing of Rick Scott is problematic on twitch. Generally, I think there should be more discussion about this whole “kill Rick Scott“ issue, although I don’t think anyone should actually kill Rick Scott.

      People are saying “kill Rick Scott.” I’m not saying it, but many people are saying saying it.

        Seriously! I’m hear a lot of talk about killing Rick Scott today. There’s been way more ‘kill Rick Scott’ discussion today than there was yesterday. For all I know, people will still be talking about killing Rick Scott even more tomorrow. Before anyone gets the wrong idea about this, I am not advocating that anyone kill Rick Scott. No one should ever do that. Killing Rick Scott is wrong and anyone consider killing Rick Scott should seek help. That is, they should get help dealing with their desires to kill Rick Scott, not help with actually killing Rick Scott, because that would be terrible.

    I dont think saying “if Republicans cared about this issue, they’d kill Rick Scott” is a call to violence, but whatever Twitch, you gave Hasan a few days off that he probably needs and put a big spotlight on a sitting senator’s massive medicare fraud.

      If those words came out of the mouth of Elon, trump, or Joe rogan, there would be murder attempts within days. I guess that says more about Republicans than the content of the statement, but it’s definitely not a harmless thing.

      Though the fact that this is where they draw the line and not Hasan rebroadcasting terrorist propaganda is pretty telling.

      He’s a money-maker for Twitch, so I can’t imagine it’ll be more than a week. Two weeks if they’re actually mad at him.

      I’ve seen him talk about how the USA accepted China’s “one China policy” (aka the notion that Taiwan is part of China) back when Nixon was president.
