After a defeat in Escape from Tarkov, a Twitch streamer screamed wildly in his room. His 3-year-old daughter began to cry as the streamer let his anger loose. The streaming platform subsequently issued a ban.
What happened? The Twitch streamer KillaMfCam was banned from the platform after a meltdown during his livestream on Twitch.
- After dying in the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, he shouted in the room
- The anger seemed to be directed at his dog, but a crying child could be heard in the background
- Comments like “Stop shitting yourself” or “I’ll break your neck” were made
In the meantime, his channel has been banned by Twitch.
The video of the Twitch streamer’s meltdown
This is how it became known: The Twitter user and YouTuber Frizzable shared the video on Twitter, which shows KillaMfCam during his outburst. Frizzable explains that he eliminated the streamer in Escape from Tarkov and then turned on the defeated opponent’s stream, apparently to relish in their reaction.
But when he followed the channel, he was immediately banned from KillaMfCam’s channel. Frizzable then rewound the VoD to see the streamer’s reaction when he was eliminated. There he saw the streamer visibly angry, shouting in and away from the webcam.
However, it is unclear to whom the comments were directed. The target could be the daughter or the dog of the streamer.
Below, we embed the video of the meltdown. This clip contains the cries of a small child, which may have a disturbing effect. Watch at your own risk.
The video makes it clear how angry the player is and that he lets his anger out. Meanwhile, a child can be heard starting to cry during the outburst.
- “Stop shitting. I don’t care, Riley, be quiet. Stop shitting yourself, dude, how hard can that be?”
- “I hate you, dude. Get out of my room, bro. Go. Get out! Get the hell out of my room. Go.”
- “I’ll break your damn neck, dude. Get the hell out.”

Streamer: “I am allowed to hit my dog”
This is what the streamer says: It didn’t take long for KillaMfCam to comment on the allegations on Twitter. He claims that the video was purposely edited to put the streamer in a bad light.
“Anyone who believes the edited clip is highly misinformed. I do not deny that I was overly angry. I was talking 100% about my dog. The guy I banned from my stream edited the video to make it not look like that,” he tweeted from his now-inaccessible Twitter account.
He was then made aware on Twitter that he admits to hitting his dog because he got angry. And that this does not make the situation any better.
“Yes, I am allowed to spank my dog if she misbehaves, dude. […] I spanked her twice and sent her out of my room. While it wasn’t “okay” to sound so angry, it really wasn’t the way the guy edited [the video].
Why the video was edited: In a YouTube video, Frizzable explains that he cut out the parts of the video where the streamer was just sitting quietly. This was because only videos with a maximum duration of 2 minutes and 20 seconds can be uploaded on Twitter.
He shared the video out of concern for the child’s well-being. Because even if the streamer shouted at and hit his dog, his daughter witnessed all of it.
