The Swedish streamer “Anomaly” has over a million followers who now have to wait for his streams. Twitch banned him for 30 days because he wore an offensive outfit in Minecraft .
Who is it about? The banned Swedish streamer is Ludvig “Anomaly” Lagerstedt. On YouTube, he has nearly 2.5 million subscribers, and on Twitch.TV, he has almost 1 million followers.
Why did he show a Hitler skin? On Twitter, Anomaly posted a statement explaining that he was banned for 30 days. He writes that he accidentally showed a Minecraft skin for less than 2 seconds.
One of his followers responded with the clip that likely led to the ban. In it, you can see Anomaly’s gameplay in Minecraft. He opens his inventory in the clip, which results in his Minecraft character being visible.

The skin bears visual similarities to Adolf Hitler. Brown uniform, a red armband, and even a little mustache adorn the pixel figure. When Anomaly realizes that he had activated the wrong skin, he quickly closes the inventory again. He says, “Oh my God, I was wearing the wrong skin!”
There is even a character resembling Hitler in World of Warcraft.
On Twitter, he explains why he wore the skin: “I had the skin because I wanted to record a Minecraft video with a few friends and make a joke about ‘Meinkraft.’ I forgot to change the skin back.”
This is the consequence: With this action, he likely violated the rules of Twitch.TV. Their community guidelines state how to handle hate-driven behavior and harassment. Showing the Hitler skin probably falls into this category.
Hate-driven behavior is any content or action that promotes or encourages discrimination, degradation, objectification, harassment, or violence based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, medical condition, physical traits, or veteran status. Such behavior is prohibited. Hate-driven behavior is considered a zero-tolerance violation. All accounts associated with such behavior will be permanently suspended.

The violation has now led to a 30-day ban. However, Anomaly intends to challenge this. He says he wants to contact Twitch. A 30-day penalty for this offense seems excessive in his opinion.
In the survival game SCUM, a Hitler tattoo that was previously sold for a high price was removed.
As Dotesports reports, this was not the first ban against Anomaly. A year ago, he was banned from Twitch for hate-driven behavior. The reason for this ban a year ago has not been officially confirmed. However, the ban came after a clip circulated showing Anomaly dressing his character in PUBG in prison clothing and editing a dark skin tone. He found this hilarious.
