Twitch Has Banned MeatCanyon

by

Summary

  • MeatCanyon was banned from Twitch on December 17.
  • The ban is only temporary, but it’s unclear how long it will last.
  • MeatCanyon’s fans speculate the ban was issued in response to some copyrighted music and partial nudity featured in his December 16 stream.

As a dedicated fan of MeatCanyon (or Papa Meat, as we affectionately call him), I must say that his latest Twitch ban has left me feeling like a lamb to the slaughter. I mean, the man’s been building up to this barn fundraiser for days, and just when we were getting close to reaching the goal, Twitch decides to throw a wrench in the works!

In December 2024, streaming platform Twitch suspended Hunter August Hancock (also known as MeatCanyon or Papa Meat), halting his ongoing, playful fundraiser aimed at financing a new barn.

MeatCanyon gained fame on YouTube for creating humorous and innovative animated parodies with dark humor, based on various media and celebrities. As of late 2024, he has approximately eight million subscribers on this platform. His content on Twitch is more laid-back, primarily centered around gaming sessions. However, it also attracts a considerable following, as evidenced by the fact that MeatCanyon currently has around 214,000 followers on this Amazon-owned streaming service.

On December 17th, the content creator encountered an unexpected challenge in his streaming career as his Twitch channel was temporarily suspended, according to Dexerto. This suspension happened during a continuous streaming event that MeatCanyon had initiated to gather funds for a new barn. The creative idea, which started as a one-day stream on December 13th, expanded into a longer event. Prior to the ban, MeatCanyon’s last live broadcast on Twitch was on December 16th, where he played League of Legends.

MeatCanyon’s Twitch Ban Is Only Temporary

The message Twitch posted on MeatCanyon’s channel after the December 17 ban implies that this punishment is likely to be temporary in nature. Typically, Twitch remains tight-lipped about the reasons behind suspensions, and in this case, their brief notice simply indicated that MeatCanyon was banned for breaching the community rules or terms of service.

It seems that MeatCanyon might have more insights about the circumstances surrounding his ban on Twitch, as notifications from Twitch usually provide explanations for such actions. Streamers can certainly pass this information along to their viewers, but it remains uncertain if MeatCanyon plans to disclose the details. On December 17, he tweeted a brief message expressing disappointment about the ban, but no further explanation was given. Some fans speculate that the ban could be linked to one of his producers exposing their nipple during the December 16 livestream, or playing copyrighted music – both possible reasons for being banned on Twitch.

From a broader perspective, it’s worth noting that MeatCanyon has received four bans on Twitch since the year 2022, as reported by StreamerBans. His previous three bans only lasted for three days each, hinting at minor offenses being the cause. At this point, we’re unsure if his fundraising activities on Twitch will restart once his ban is lifted.
