The streaming platform Twitch has banned the streamer DrWitnesser: He appears frequently in Fortnite and tries to convert mostly young players to a godly way of life. The preacher goes about it in a rustic manner. He says that if the children don’t abandon their sinful lives, they will go directly to hell.
This is DrWitnesser: The streamer primarily operates in Fortnite and has gained around 140,000 followers over the course of a year. DrWitnesser uses Fortnite to speak to young players and convert them to his views.
The streamer drew attention in July 2020 when he told a Muslim boy that he would go to hell if he died right now. He also asked the boy how he could deny the hundreds of prophecies that have been fulfilled through Jesus.
In July 2020, DrWitness was banned from Twitch for 7 days. His behavior was considered harassment by Twitch at the time.
This is the current ban: Twitch has now permanently banned DrWitnesser from the streaming platform. The reason given is that the streamer exhibits hateful behavior towards a person or a group of people.
Streamer accuses Twitch of being hypocritical and intolerant
This is DrWitnesser’s reaction: He states that with this ban, Twitch has once again shown that they have no tolerance for Christians who preach what is in the Bible. Twitch is a biased, hypocritical organization that wants to impose their own agenda on everyone. DrWitnesser is glad that he can leave now.
He has decided to continue on YouTube, as it is the bigger platform.
This is the discussion: DrWitnesser’s ban is being actively debated. The streamer is repeatedly confronted about threatening young Fortnite players with hell. However, DrWitnesser sees no problem with it: Telling a Muslim boy that he is going to hell is like telling a cancer patient that they will die of cancer.
If parents allowed their children to play a game like Fortnite, shoot other people in it, and talk to other people over voice chat, then they would also be old enough to hear about sins, the consequences of sins, and redemption through Jesus Christ.
DrWitnesser is immune to calls to be more mild. For him, a different approach would only dilute the word of God. That is something he definitely does not want.
He considers his ban to be a political decision by Twitch. For him, Twitch is Sodom and Gomorrah. There, one can apparently say anything, but not that homosexuality and transgenderism are a sin.
It seems clear why Twitch has decided to ban the self-proclaimed “esports missionary” from the platform.
A promising career in Fortnite awaited the then 9-year-old Brazilian “Zenon”. He made a name for himself as a strong e-sports player. Until it came to light how old he was, and that the Fortnite developers did not want such a young player in their game:
