The streamer Sebastian “forsen” Fors has been unbanned on Twitch. He was actually banned indefinitely by Twitch, but now forsen is allowed to stream again.
This is what happened:
- On November 30, forsen was banned by Twitch. He reacted in a stream to submitted images from fans. One of the images depicted bestiality. He opened it unknowingly and Twitch responded with a ban.
- forsen has already been banned multiple times in the past and this time Twitch took harsh action. The ban was for “indefinite time” – so permanently.
- In mid-December, however, forsen surprisingly announced his return. He is supposed to be unbanned after Christmas – which has now happened.
Who is forsen anyway? The Swedish streamer is one of the biggest personalities on Twitch. Before his ban, he had 1.4 million followers and was among the top 100 on Twitch. There he showcased various games and interacted a lot with his viewers.
forsen announces comeback for today
This is what forsen posted: The streamer kept it short on Twitter. He wrote yesterday, on December 26: I am supposedly unbanned! See you tomorrow at 7:00 PM. That’s all.’
The comeback of forsen will take place today, on December 27. He wants to stream again for his viewers on Twitch.
Why is there so much commotion about the ban? There has been a lot of discussion around forsen’s ban. After all, the streamer did not intentionally show the image with bestiality, but was caught by a nasty viewer.
Faithful fans of forsen then expressed sharp criticism. Twitch seems to measure with two different standards. Other streamers, often the name of Pokimane, are allowed to get away with much more on Twitch and only receive a warning at most. forsen, on the other hand, is banned indefinitely for this action.
The banning policy of Twitch has long been a controversial topic. Twitch had once clearly defined when one gets banned for nudity, but other cases are not as clearly defined. Here it is often a matter of discretion for Twitch officials. Some viewers then disagree with these decisions.
Recently, there have been discussions mainly about the streamer MissBehavin. She appeared naked on Twitch and posed for a sex show. However, Twitch only banned her for 4 days – too short in the eyes of many viewers. They demanded a permanent ban.
For forsen, however, things can now continue on Twitch. It remains to be seen whether the Swedish streamer will land in trouble again or if he will now strictly adhere to Twitch’s rules.
