BikiniBodhi is one of the most well-known names in Rainbow Six: Siege. The YouTuber and streamer entertains his fans with crazy videos and a consistently cheerful demeanor. However, he is now banned until June and says: He deserves it.
Who is it about?
- The Swede Tobias “BikiniBodhi” André is a YouTuber and content creator in Rainbow Six. He is part of the e-sports organization Fnatic and even worked as an analyst at the majors in Sweden.
- His videos are usually entertaining montages, but also often useful. For instance, he showed how strong the rework of one of the oldest operators in the game was. Many fans appreciate his opinion.
- However, he is currently banned from all official tournaments and activities of the game – due to a tweet.
What did BikiniBodhi do? On Twitter, the YouTuber clashed with several other fans of Rainbow Six. It was about the upcoming majors in August. These were originally supposed to take place in the United Arab Emirates.
The decision was retracted after criticism from the community. However, the discussion continued and expanded on the reasons. At some point, the topic shifted to the culture of the country. In response to a comment, BikiniBodhi said:
“If your culture wants you to murder others for who they are, then that is a shitty culture that does not deserve to exist.”
As he himself says, he crossed a line with that. He offended the entire Islam and the people in the respective countries. That was not his intention, but he became too emotional.
In a statement, he writes: “I do not seek forgiveness, I do not deserve it. I messed up and I take full responsibility.”
Rainbow Six even disables items in the game
For his tweet, BikiniBodhi is now banned from “all activities of Ubisoft and Siege” until June 18, 2022, as he communicated. He will not receive early access to the new season, which is set to start soon.
Additionally, a specific weapon charm has been temporarily disabled. This is a cosmetic item that was added to the game in his honor. Those who already have the charm can continue using it, but it will not be available until June.
Unlike his previous ban, where he was “hacked”, he can still play and stream. He is only excluded from official Ubisoft events.
Rainbow Six is currently preparing the new season
In the game, the test for Season 1 of Year 7 called “Demon Veil” is currently running. This introduces the new operator Azami, a defender from Japan. She can create bulletproof barriers with special kunais, a ninja weapon.
The season is set to go live on March 15 and brings, among other things, Team Deathmatch, a mode that fans have been asking for for 7 years. There will also be some improvements and new cosmetics as usual.
Rainbow Six: Siege has been consistently popular for 7 years now and is still being steadily improved. The title is also still popular in e-sports. MeinMMO has long listed it among the best representatives of the genre:
