Streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel (24) has received a temporary ban on Twitch for playing the Steam game Strip 4, where naked breasts were visible. This is now officially known. His appeal was unsuccessful: When will the streamer be back on Twitch? And why do some find the ban unfair?
This is why xQc was banned: The popular Twitch streamer played the Steam game “4 Strip” and won a “Connect Four” against a virtual school friend. Afterwards, he used the option to remove the school friend’s bra: To his complete surprise, her breasts were visible. Who could have guessed that?
When female or male nipples are visible, it violates Twitch’s community guidelines and a ban is issued. This followed immediately after xQc’s action. However, it was not clear how long the Twitch ban would last or if it would hold.
xQc thought it was an “automatic ban” and that he could still do something about it.
xQc files an appeal against Twitch ban
This is how xQc reacted: The streamer filed an appeal against the ban with Twitch, but the negative response from Twitch came promptly. The ban remains in effect. xQc is advised to refrain from streaming games that focus on nudity or sex.
The Twitch star is now temporarily banned and has received a strike.
xQc will soon return to Twitch after a 3-day ban
When will xQc be back on Twitch? He received a 3-day ban from Twitch. The ban was issued on the night of February 29 to March 1, German time.
xQc should be back on Twitch on March 4. He also announces: He will come back stronger.
Twitch is said to have unfair standards: women can do anything, men nothing
This is how the ban is discussed: The Twitch ban is being controversially debated. Internet personality Daniel “Keemstar” Keem is leading the complaint.
- xQc only briefly saw the breasts in Strip 4 and should have stopped the stream immediately
- The female streamer “Zombi-Unicorn” viewed the breasts of a barbarian in a character creation clip for Conan Exiles. She commented on it extensively and played with the breast slider. Nothing happened to her.
xQc himself does not think much of these comparisons: He does not want other streamers to get into trouble because of him: “It doesn’t help us if we see others fall,” he says on Twitter.
This is currently a constant discussion around Twitch. Some feel that male streamers are banned for trivialities that are clearly accidents.
In contrast, certain female “favorites of Twitch” seem to have a free pass. Female streamer Alinity Divine is frequently mentioned critically. She has supposedly handled animals strangely on Twitch:
