by

Summary

  • Tectone has been banned from Twitch for a week for allegedly using a derogatory term when referring to two female streamers.
  • The creator is calling Twitch ‘hypocritical’ for the sudden ban.
  • Tectone recently joined Kick.

Tectone, a well-known streamer with almost a million followers on Twitch, was recently banned from the platform again, which ignited debate within the streaming community. Although he vented his anger openly, this incident yet again shines a light on Twitch’s moderation system.

From a movie enthusiast’s perspective, it’s undeniable that Twitch remains the go-to platform for livestreaming. However, their approach to bans sometimes sparks diverse opinions among streamers. Some broadcasters have come back after more than ten bans without much hassle, while others encounter longer or stricter penalties for seemingly minor infractions. In some unusual instances, the application of rules has led to perplexity, even within Twitch itself. A notable example is the 2024 ban of streamer AnimalisaKeys, which Twitch’s CEO later admitted he didn’t completely grasp.

As a movie reviewer, I found myself compelled to weigh in on the recent events unfolding within the Twitch community. On June 5th, Tectone, a former OTK member, faced yet another suspension – his third ban of the year in 2025. In a series of tweets, he expressed bewilderment and asserted that the rationale behind this latest punishment was more hypocritical than he could have ever imagined.

In a subsequent YouTube video, Tectone delved deeper into the details, revealing that the seven-day suspension stemmed from violating Twitch’s policies regarding sexual content. Specifically, he was accused of making sexual requests, graphic or derogatory sexual statements, or unwanted sexual content. The suspension reportedly resulted from his use of a derogatory term in reference to two female streamers, Denims and Minx.

Tectone argued that he employed the term in self-defense, claiming it was a response to what he perceived as serious and defamatory allegations against him. It’s essential to note that such discussions can be complex and nuanced, but ultimately, it’s crucial for all members of the Twitch community to adhere to the platform’s guidelines to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone involved.

Tectone Addresses His Latest Twitch Ban

Tectone claims that popular Twitch streamer Denims ridiculed a personal story involving his father’s war wounds and used offensive language towards him, with Minx making similar accusations. Additionally, Tectone has brought up past banishments from the platform. For example, he maintains that he was banned for labeling another streamer, Frogan, as overweight, which he argues was a factual statement instead of an insult. This ban initially lasted two weeks but was subsequently shortened. Another instance involved him telling a viewer to take their own life, which he now admits was an emotional outburst and something he deeply regrets.

In the course of his video, Tectone voiced worries over what he perceived as uneven application of Twitch’s guidelines. He brought up instances involving well-known streamers like HasanAbi and Denims, implying that similar offensive remarks by others had escaped punishment.

Although it’s uncertain if the current 7-day ban on Tectone’s Twitch account will be fully served or lifted, as happened with his previous ban, his fans won’t miss out on content. In fact, the streamer has announced that he has moved to Kick, a burgeoning streaming platform supported by Stake. Known for being more favorable towards creators and having less stringent moderation rules compared to Twitch, Kick could potentially be a better fit for Tectone moving forward.
