The platform Twitch bans streamers if they do not follow the rules. Some of these bans are temporary, but one of the most controversial streamers has been permanently banned for 4 years. Now he had the opportunity to go live again, albeit for a very short time.
Which streamer is it about? The Twitch streamer Destiny was on Twitch for 11 years. In 2022 he ruined his career in just 14 seconds with a statement that allegedly suggested that the transgender streamer Keffals would attempt to take her own life.
After these statements, he was permanently banned from the streaming platform for “hate-filled behavior.” However, Destiny was unbanned on May 21, 2026, even if only for a short time. Even the CEO of Twitch, Dan Clancy, apologized for this.
Twitch CEO calls it a mistake
How did the unbanning come about? Dan Clancy addressed the topic surrounding Destiny in one of his own streams. There, he apologized to the viewers and explained how it could happen (Twitch.tv).
According to the CEO, the unbanning happened due to a human error. However, the blunder was quickly discovered and corrected. He further emphasizes that there are people behind Twitch working, and people can make mistakes.
How long did it take until Destiny was banned again? Many Reddit users were surprised that he was even unbanned, and wondered how long it would take until Destiny was gone from Twitch again.
After the news of the unbanning spread like wildfire through the LiveStreamFail subreddit, Destiny was quickly banned again. To be exact, it took 13 minutes, as can be seen from two screenshots from this Reddit post.
Streamer Adin Ross was also banned by Twitch a few years ago. After he said he was banned completely without reason, Twitch exceptionally provided a valid reason: Adin Ross had left his Twitch chat unmoderated, and “racist and antisemitic messages” were written: Twitch does what they never did with DrDisrespect: They explain the permanent ban of a bad boy
